You can inform your financial intermediary that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports, or if you are a direct investor, by calling the Funds at 800-601-5593.

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Kansas Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana, and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) for the semi-annual period ended January 31, 2022 (the “period”). The Funds’ portfolios and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
Economic Recap
During the period, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC” or “Committee”) maintained the federal funds rate at 0 to ¼ percent. However, with inflation well above 2 percent and a strong labor market, the Committee expects it will soon be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate. The Committee noted that the path of the economy continues to depend on the course of the virus. Progress on vaccinations and an easing of supply constraints are expected to support continued gains in economic activity and employment as well as a reduction in inflation. Risks to the economic outlook remain, including from new variants of the virus. In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee’s goals.
Municipal Bond Market Recap
The municipal market started the period on a weak note posting three consecutive months of negative total returns. Sustained inflation fears and the Federal Reserve’s plans to begin tapering asset purchases pushed interest rates higher. The Federal Reserve’s tone became increasingly more hawkish throughout the first half of the period. In November the municipal market halted its three month skid and posted its strongest month of the 2021 calendar year as the Omicron variant spread rapidly. Interest rates decreased on uncertainties of how another COVID variant could possibly impact the economy. COVID concerns eased a bit in December as the Omicron variant appeared to be more contagious though less severe than previous variants. The municipal market was relatively quiet, finishing the month with a slight positive return. As the new calendar year began the municipal market posted its worst month of total returns since March of 2020. COVID concerns continued to wane and inflation continued to rise at levels not seen in decades. Expectations of multiple rate hikes in calendar year 2022 became ever more likely and weighed heavily on bond prices. For the period the municipal market finished down 3.10% as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. During the period, shorter (i.e. 1-10 year) and intermediate (i.e. 11-20 year) maturity bonds underperformed longer maturity (i.e. 21-30 year) bonds. Higher rated investment grade bonds slightly outperformed lower rated investment grade bonds. Municipal issuance during the period totaled approximately $165.1 billion, a 3.6% increase from the same period last year. The 10-year muni/Treasury yield ratio ended the period at 87.1% up from 66.7% on 7/31/21.
Fund Performance
The Kansas Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana, and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota had total returns of -2.64%*, -2.87%*, -2.58%*, -3.24%*, -2.94%*, and -2.62%* for Class A shares and -2.52%*, -2.66%*, -2.37%*, -3.11%*, -2.80%*, and -2.40%* for Class I shares respectively during the semi-annual period ended January 31, 2022. This compares to the Morningstar Muni Single State Intermediate Category which returned -2.77% for the period. This compares to the Bloomberg Barclays Capital Municipal Index’s return of -3.10%. Five of the six Funds outperformed the index during the period due to having a lower duration than the index. However, The Oklahoma Fund performed in line with the index due to having a duration similar to the index. Additionally, the index is unmanaged and index returns do not reflect fees and expenses of any kind, which would have negative impact on returns.
The current 3.8% Medicare surtax on investment income established by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (municipals are exempt) combined with the high marginal tax rates at the federal and state levels boost the appeal of tax-exempt income. The federal marginal tax rate for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of $539,901 ($647,851 for married filing jointly) in 2022 is 37.0%. The after-tax yield of a 10-year U.S. Treasury Note yielding 1.78% as of January 31, 2022, falls to approximately 1.05% at the 37.0% federal tax rate plus the 3.8% Medicare surtax.
Finally, we recommend that shareholders view their investment as long-term. As difficult as they may be, periods of panic (and euphoria) tend to be transitory in nature and it’s the long-term investors that may be rewarded with the long-term benefits of tax-free income and relatively low volatility that muni bonds have provided for decades.

Because each Fund invests in securities of a single state, the Funds are more susceptible to factors adversely impacting the respective state than a municipal bond fund that does not concentrate its securities in a single state.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
NOTE 1: Organization
Viking Mutual Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware business trust on March 30, 1999 and commenced operations on August 3, 1999. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company and consists of six series (the “Funds”).
The Kansas Municipal Fund (“KS Muni Fund”), Maine Municipal Fund (“ME Muni Fund”), Nebraska Municipal Fund (“NE Muni Fund”), and Oklahoma Municipal Fund (“OK Muni Fund”), Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana (“Tax-Free Fund for MT”), and Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota (“Tax-Free Fund for ND”) seek the highest level of current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and each Fund’s respective state income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital. KS Muni Fund is a diversified Fund. ME Muni Fund, NE Muni Fund, OK Muni Fund, Tax-Free Fund for MT and Tax Free Fund for ND are non-diversified Funds.
Each Fund in the Trust currently offers both Class A and Class I shares. Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of 2.50% and a distribution fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. Class I shares are sold without sales charge or distribution fee. The two classes of shares represent interest in each Fund’s same portfolio of investments, have the same rights, and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and certain other class expenses and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees 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 with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.
Each Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Investment security valuation—The Funds value their investments at fair value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by the Funds’ administrative services agent, Integrity Fund Services, LLC (“Integrity Fund Services” or “IFS”). The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees and includes consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality; type of issue, coupon, maturity, and rating; indications as to value from dealers; indications as to value from municipal bond market activity; and general market conditions. Because the market value of securities can only be established by agreement between parties in a sales transaction, and because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, the fair values as determined may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Shares of a registered investment company, including money market funds that are not traded on an exchange are valued at the investment company’s net asset value per share.
When-issued securities—The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The values of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract’s terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Contingent deferred sales charge—In the case of investments into the Funds of $500,000 or more, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) may be assessed on shares redeemed within 24 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions).
Federal and state income taxes—Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.
As of January 31, 2022, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended January 31, 2022, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years, which include the current and prior three tax years, are open for examination by taxing authorities. Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Premiums and discounts—Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are accreted and amortized into interest income using the effective yield method over the lives of the respective securities.
Cash and cash equivalents— The Funds consider investments in an FDIC insured interest bearing savings account to be cash. The Funds maintain balances, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds maintain these balances with a high quality financial institution.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses and distributions—Income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the specific identification basis. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. The Funds declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay such dividends monthly. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value or paid in cash. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Use of estimates—The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Common expenses—Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds within the Trust based on relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each Fund.
Multiple class allocations—The Funds simultaneously use the settled shares method to allocate income and fund-wide expenses and use the relative net assets method to allocate gains and losses. Class-specific expenses, distribution fees, and any other items that are specifically attributable to a particular class are charged directly to such class.
NOTE 3: Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 inputs are based on significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of January 31, 2022:

NOTE 7: Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Viking Fund Management (“VFM”), the Funds’ investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, LLC (“Integrity Funds Distributor” or “IFD”), the Funds’ underwriter and distributor; and IFS, the Funds’ transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC (“Corridor Investors” or “Corridor”), the Funds’ sponsor. A Trustee of the Funds is also a Governor of Corridor.
VFM provides investment advisory and management services to the Funds. The Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. VFM has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to reimburse expenses for the Funds, other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses, taxes, brokerage fees, commissions, and acquired fund fees and expenses, until November 29, 2022 so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed 0.98% and 0.73% for Class A and I, respectively. After November 29, 2022, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised. VFM and affiliated service providers may also voluntarily waive fees or reimburse expenses not required under the advisory or other contracts from time to time. An expense limitation lowers expense ratios and increases returns to investors. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of VFM.

VFM is entitled to recoup such amounts waived or reimbursed for a period of up to three years from the date on which VFM waived fees or reimbursed expenses for each Fund. Each Fund will make repayments to the VFM only if such repayment does not cause the annual Fund operating expenses (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed both (1) the expense limitation in place when such amounts were waived and (2) the Fund’s current expense limitation. As of January 31, 2022, the following amounts are available to be repaid to VFM.

IFD serves as the principal underwriter and distributor for the Funds and receives sales charges deducted from Fund share sales proceeds and CDSC from applicable Fund share redemptions. Also, the Funds have adopted a distribution plan for each class of shares as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. Distribution plans permit the Funds to reimburse their principal underwriter for costs related to selling shares of the Funds and for various other services. These costs, which consist primarily of commissions and service fees to broker-dealers who sell shares of the Funds, are paid by shareholders through expenses called “Distribution Plan expenses.” The Funds currently pay an annual distribution fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of IFD.

NOTE 8: Principal Risks
The Funds invest primarily in municipal securities from a specific state. The Funds may also invest in municipal securities of U.S. territories and possessions (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam). Each Fund is therefore more susceptible to political, economic, legislative, or regulatory factors adversely affecting issuers of municipal securities in its specific state or U.S. territories and possessions.
Interest rate risk is the risk that bond prices will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. There is normally an inverse relationship between the fair value of securities sensitive to prevailing interest rates and actual changes in interest rates. The longer the average maturity of a Fund’s portfolio, the greater its interest rate risk.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the one-half year period shown below and held for the entire one-half year period.
Actual expenses - The section in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns together with the amount you invested to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an account value of $8,600 divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class in the column entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes - The section in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the 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 the 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the section in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (unaudited)
The Viking Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration each Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources. The Viking Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Viking Fund Management Inc. ("Viking"), as the administrator of the LRMP.
Viking manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of each Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis.
At a meeting held on May 3, 2021, Viking provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Viking concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Viking to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure the Funds are able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in the Funds. During the review period, the Funds' portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that the Funds reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Viking indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited)
At a meeting held on November 1, 2021, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of Viking Mutual Funds (the “Trust”), including a majority of the trustees who are neither a party to the advisory agreement nor “interested persons” of any such party (the “Independent Trustees”), unanimously determined to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of its series (each, a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”), and Viking Fund Management, LLC (“Viking” or the “Adviser”). The Board considered information received and discussions held at the November 1, 2021 Board meeting and, with respect to the Independent Trustees, discussions held at the October 15, 2021 meeting of the Governance Committee.
In determining whether it was appropriate to renew the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested and reviewed information, provided by the Adviser, that they believed to be reasonably necessary to reach their conclusion. The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals. In connection with the renewal of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure rules relating to the renewal of advisory contracts, which include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Fund;
(b) the various personnel furnishing such services and their duties and qualifications;
(c) the Fund’s investment performance as compared to standardized industry performance data;
(d) the Adviser’s costs and profitability of furnishing the investment management services to the Fund;
(e) the extent to which the Adviser realizes economies of scale as the Fund grows larger and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders;
(f) an analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers to similar funds;
(g) the expense ratios of the Fund as compared to data for comparable funds; and
(h) information with respect to all benefits to the Adviser associated with its relationship with the Fund, including an analysis of so-called “fallout” benefits or indirect profits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund.
In evaluating the Adviser’s services and fees, among other information, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of each Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser, and the advisory fees and other Fund expenses compared to advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Funds, the Trustees considered, among other things, the advisory fees, the Funds’ past performance, the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates that provide services to the Funds (costs and profits from furnishing services to each Fund), and the contractual expense limitations agreed to by the Adviser with respect to Fund expenses. The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to each Fund. The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s commitment to contractually or voluntarily limit Fund expenses, the skills and capabilities of the Adviser and the representations from the Adviser that the Funds’ portfolio managers will continue to manage each Fund in substantially the same way as it had been managed.
The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, as well as their conclusions relative to such factors in considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement:
Nature, extent and quality of services. The Board considered that the Adviser currently provides services to 11 funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad-based equity funds to municipal funds. The Board also considered that the Adviser has a strong culture of compliance and provides quality services. The Board noted that the experience and expertise of the Adviser are attributable to the long-term focus on managing investment companies and have the potential to enhance the Funds’ future performance. Based on the information provided, the Board determined that the overall nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser have historically been, and continue to be, adequate and appropriate.
Investment performance. Upon a review of the total return history and category rankings of each Fund, according to Morningstar data, the Board determined that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory and that each Fund has sought to meet its investment objective(s) pursuant to its principal investment strategies. With respect to index performance comparisons, the Board recognized that the index of each Fund is a general municipal index. In this regard, the Board made the following observations:
As of July 31, 2021, the Morningstar risk rating for Class A shares of: (1) Kansas Municipal Fund was average for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods; (2) Nebraska Municipal Fund was below average for the 3-year period, average for the 5-year period, and above average for the 10-year period; (3) Oklahoma Municipal Fund was above average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (4) Maine Municipal Fund was below average for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods; (5) Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota was low for the 3-year period, below average for the 5-year period, and average for the 10-year period; and (6) Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana was average for the 3- and 5-year periods, and above average for the 10-year period.
As of July 31, 2021, the Morningstar return rating for Class A shares of: (1) Kansas Municipal Fund was average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (2) Nebraska Municipal Fund was below average for the 3- and 5-year periods, and average for the 10-year period; (3) Oklahoma Municipal Fund was average for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods; (4) Maine Municipal Fund was below average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (5) Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota was below average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; and (6) Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana was average for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods.
As of July 31, 2021, the Fund performance for Class A shares of: (1) Kansas Municipal Fund was below its index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, and below its category median for the 1-year period and at the category median for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (2) Nebraska Municipal Fund was below its index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, and below its category median for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year periods; (3) Oklahoma Municipal Fund was below its index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, and at its category median for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (4) Maine Municipal Fund was below its index and category median for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods; (5) Viking Tax-Free Fund for North Dakota was below its index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods and below its category median for the 1-, 3-, 5, and 10-year periods; and (6) Viking Tax-Free Fund for Montana was below its index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods, below its category median for the 1-year period and at its category median for the 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods.
Profitability. In connection with its review of advisory fees, the Board also considered the profitability to the Adviser and its affiliates of their relationship to the Funds. In this regard, the Board received information regarding the financial condition of the Adviser and the distributor for the calendar year ended December 31, 2020 and the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Board also received Fund-by-Fund profitability information, which included fees and expenses of the Adviser as well as the affiliated distributor and transfer agent. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the level of profitability under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services provided and taking into account fees and expenses of affiliated service providers to the Funds.
Economies of scale. The Board considered whether there were economies of scale with respect to management of the Funds and whether the Adviser would benefit from any economies of scale. In this regard, the Board considered information regarding each Fund’s size and noted that the size of the Fund had not reached an asset level at which the Adviser would benefit from economies of scale. The Board also noted that each Fund’s expenses are managed pursuant to a contractual expense limitation. The Board noted a general increase in Trust assets since the last contract renewal. The Board determined that the advisory fees are structured appropriately based on the size of the Funds.
Analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers to similar funds. The Board considered that a comparison of the advisory fees charged by the Adviser with respect to the Funds to advisory fees charged by other investment advisers to other funds with a similar investment strategy and size, as compiled by the Adviser, reflected that the fees charged by the Adviser are comparable to those charged by other investment advisers to other similar funds.
Expense ratios of the Fund as compared to data for comparable funds. The Board considered that a comparison of the net annual operating expense for Class A shares of each Fund to other funds with a similar investment strategy and size, as determined by the Adviser, reflected that the net operating expense of 0.98% for Class A shares of each Fund is comparable to, although generally higher than, that of other similar funds.
Information with respect to all benefits to the Adviser associated with the Fund, including an analysis of so-called “fallout” benefits or indirect profits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser and its affiliates do not realize material direct benefits from their relationship to the Funds except for fees earned for services provided. The Board considered that the Adviser uses an internal model to provide services to the Funds and that the Adviser or its affiliates provide most services to the Funds including distribution and transfer agency services. The Board considered that the Adviser does not benefit from soft dollar arrangements with respect to securities trading in the Funds in light of the types of securities traded for the Funds. The Board considered the foregoing in reaching its conclusion that the advisory fees are reasonable.
In voting unanimously to renew the Advisory Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance. The Board unanimously determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the renewal of the Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each of the Funds and that the advisory fees are reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser.
