| Shareholders’ Letter |
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
We are pleased to present the Kinetics Mutual Funds (“Funds”) Report for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. The S&P 500 Index edged nominally higher during the first half of the year, generating a total return of 1.23%. The performance was not evenly split across sectors, as niche companies in technology and healthcare contributed the most to performance, while energy and utilities detracted the most from returns. Our broad market funds had limited exposure to these sectors, while our Medical and Internet Funds benefitted from the respective sectoral advances. In aggregate, however, the Funds largely did not participate in the strong performance of “growth” stocks, as evidenced by the 4.33% first half return of the Russell 3000 Growth Index (an all capitalization index). It does not come as a surprise to us that companies with the ability to grow revenues in a weak global economy have been rewarded with enviable valuations. However, we are concerned that such companies are being rewarded for revenue growth without concern for cash flow growth. This represents the difference in methodology between value and growth investors, with the former (Kinetics included) requiring physical cash generation for investment, and the latter seemingly willing to use a variety of growth metrics for valuation, many of which are not financial in nature (i.e., “subscriber growth” or “total addressable market”).
We are confident that value investing is a prudent long-term strategy, but panics and manias will inevitably distort returns episodically. For example, our long-term returns (10-year) are currently influenced by the global financial crisis (2008-2009) and the present exuberance for growth stocks. Accordingly, the Russell 3000 Growth Index has outperformed the Russell 3000 Value Index by 2.14% annually over the past 10 years. This may not appear to be a profound difference, but over 10 years this discrepancy has resulted in a 140% total return for growth stocks compared to a 97% total return for value stocks. There were similar long-term returns favoring growth stocks in late 1999, influenced by both the savings and loan crisis in the early 1990’s and what was later recognized as a technology bubble later in the decade. We never change our investment process or philosophy due to market preference, and note that since the inceptions of the Funds, our value strategies have proven superior to growth strategies and the broad market.
Despite the outperformance of “growth” companies during the first half of 2015, we are generally satisfied with the year-to-date returns of the Funds, and
believe that our relative performance will improve. The Funds generated returns as follows during the year (No-Load Class): The Paradigm Fund +3.23%, The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund +1.64%, The Small Cap Opportunities Fund +4.89%, The Market Opportunities Fund +2.34%, The Internet Fund +0.62%, The Medical Fund +11.54%, The Alternative Income Fund +2.58% and The Global Fund +2.81%. This compares to returns of +1.23% for the S&P 500 Index and +2.66% for the MSCI All Country World Index.
Shareholders can continue to access additional information from our website, www.kineticsfunds.com. This website provides a broad array of information, including recent portfolio holdings, quarterly investment commentaries, conference call transcripts, newsflashes, recent performance data, and online access to account information.
Kinetics offers the following funds to investors:
The Paradigm Fund focuses on companies that we believe are valued attractively and currently have, or are expected to soon have, sustainable high business returns. The Fund has produced attractive risk adjusted returns since its inception, while maintaining amongst the lowest turnover rates in the industry. The Paradigm Fund is Kinetics’ flagship fund.
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund seeks to utilize stock options and fixed-income investments in order to provide investors with equity-like returns, but with more muted volatility. At times, the options strategies of the Fund may cause the manager to purchase equity securities.
The Small Cap Opportunities Fund focuses on undervalued and special situation small capitalization equities that we believe have the potential for rewarding long-term investment results. The same investment fundamentals employed by The Paradigm Fund are used to identify such opportunities.
The Medical Fund is a sector fund, offering an investment in scientific discovery within the promising field of medical research, particularly in the development of cancer treatments and therapies. As a sector fund, The Medical Fund is likely to have heightened volatility.
The Internet Fund is a sector fund that focuses on companies engaged in the evolution of Internet-related developments. As such, this Fund has been, and is likely to continue to be, quite volatile. The Internet Fund is not designed to be a
major component of one’s equity exposure. More recently, this Fund has been focusing on content companies, which we believe will be the winners in the next generation of Internet development.
The Global Fund’s mandate is focused on selecting long life cycle international companies that we believe can generate long-term wealth through their business operations. This Fund is presently identifying exciting opportunities in the more developed markets.
The Market Opportunities Fund focuses on those companies that benefit from increasing transactional volume or throughput, such as publicly-traded exchanges and credit card processors, or companies that act as facilitators, such as gaming companies, airports and publicly-traded toll roads.
The Alternative Income Fund seeks to provide current income and gains, with a secondary objective of obtaining long-term growth of capital. The Fund utilizes stock options and fixed-income investments and seeks to generate a total return that exceeds most short-term U.S. fixed income indexes, with limited market value variability.

| Investment Commentary |
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
A not insignificant portion of equity investors are influenced by historical events in making investment decisions. At the extreme, technical analysts attempt to identify patterns in stock price movements that portend future movements. Perhaps a more balanced use of historical information is that of pension managers basing expected future returns on historical performance. Reasonable as this may seem, one must be acutely aware of the factors that influenced historical returns and how these factors may have changed over time.
Let’s begin by simply analyzing historical equity market returns – depending on which U.S. equity index one happens to use, long-term average equity market returns average out to approximately 10%, including dividends. In the interest of consistency, we will examine the S&P 500, which has been in existence in its current form since 19571. During this period, the average federal funds rate has been 5.17%, average real annual GDP growth has averaged 3.10% and government expenditures have grown at an average rate of 2.01%. Compare this to the current 0.13% federal funds rate, (0.04%) real GDP contraction and (0.17%) contraction in government expenditures. It should be noted that during the market gains over the past 15 years, dating back to June of 2000, the federal funds rate has declined by 640 basis points (from 6.53%), and government expenditures have grown by 15.67%. The point of this analysis is not only that current and recent conditions have been extremely supportive of equity valuations, but also that these variables are all but certain to change going forward.
Equity market returns have been exceptional over the past 5½ years, dating back to 2009, which marked the beginning of the market recovery from the global financial crisis. During this period, the NASDAQ Composite has annualized at 16.8%, the Russell 2000 at 14.2% and the S&P 500 at 15%. Even if we ignore the unprecedented economic stimulus efforts enacted by the U.S. government (and later, various foreign governments), these returns must be taken within the context of average federal funds rates of 0.13%. Not only are rates near the zero lower bound, but Janet Yellen, Chair of the Federal Reserve, appears committed to raising rates within the next 12 months. By definition, this will decrease the present value of the cash flows that companies generate; hence, these cash flows must increase in order to merely maintain current valuations, let alone expand valuations.
The stated objective of the low interest rate environment has been to stimulate economic growth, and facilitate “full employment,” but the resultant reaction of
| | |

investors has caused perhaps unintended consequences. The dearth of yield in conventional, investment grade fixed income securities has led investors to seek out yield in equities. The first manifestation of this was evident in utilities, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and master limited partnerships (MLPs), all of which pay out significant portions of free cash flow. However, the danger of valuing equity securities solely based upon dividend yield has already been exposed, as the S&P 500 GICS Level 1 Utilities have declined 10.67% this year, the MSCI U.S. REIT Index has declined 6.16% and the Alerian MLP Index has declined 10.99%. Investors seeking income in these securities were likely unprepared for such capital depreciation.
The most recent manifestation of low rates appears to be present in less conspicuous yield oriented securities: the “blue chips” of the S&P 500. Consider Philip Morris International, the non-U.S. tobacco and cigarette company. Despite the stigma of investing in tobacco, the company commands a 17.8x price-to-earnings multiple based on expected 2015 earnings and has an estimated long-term growth rate of 5%. Compare this to Apple Inc., which trades at 13.3x expected 2015 earnings and which has an estimated long-term growth rate of 15%. Apple is expected to grow approximately 3x greater than Philip Morris, yet trades at a discount of over 5x expected earnings. Both of these companies are large constituents of various popular indexes; in fact, Apple is a far larger weighting in the S&P 500 than Philip Morris. Thus, there must be more at play than simply an indexation/ETF flow driven valuation disconnect. Apple currently has a dividend yield of approximately 1.7%, while Philip Morris boasts a yield of approximately 4.9%. We contend that Philip Morris has attracted a shareholder base that uses it as a “bond substitute,” as its yield appears to be sustainable and growing, and the current yield is over double the current yield of a 10-year U.S. Treasury. If and when interest rates increase, these shares may experience the same fate as the aforementioned utilities, REITs and MLPs. Furthermore, despite the stability of Philip Morris’s products, the company is only reinvesting approximately 12.8% of funds from operations and pays out over 70% of funds from operations.
We have focused this letter primarily on large capitalization index constituents that we expect will have unenviable long-term rates of return from this point in time. The returns are likely to be unsatisfactory relative to the equity risk investors must accept, but still positive on an absolute basis, given the strong balance sheets and durable cash flows of most large U.S. companies. In other words, we do not envision a crisis or price collapse, but a much less inauspicious prolonged period of single digit returns. Given this outlook and our target rate of return, we must look elsewhere for our investments. We are hesitant to invest in various classic “value” investments that trade at statistically low values relative to cash flow and book value, but that are losing
competitiveness and don’t have our required long product lifecycle. While we add new positions as we uncover them, for the most part, the Funds have comprised many of the same investments for many years now, and for good reason: we believe that they remain attractive investment opportunities.
The Funds are generally dominated by owner-operated companies that suffer from a valuation discount that we believe is related to most investors’ short-term investment horizon. Historically, we have earned a higher annualized rate of return than most investors and the markets due to our willingness to wait for returns with an indefinite period for realization, a “time arbitrage,” as we call it. This can be a humbling and frustrating strategy as it is all but certain to experience periods of underperformance relative to the market and peers. We are loathe to forecast short-term performance or to strive to identify similarly short-term catalysts, but we will examine some short and intermediate term events that may drive returns.
DISH Network Corporation (“DISH”) is widely recognized as one of two prominent satellite television providers in the United States. The company is run by owner-operator and founder Charles Ergen, who owns nearly $17 billion of the company. The core business of DISH is mature at best, and likely in decline, as linear television viewing has shifted to streaming and On Demand offerings. Despite this, DISH has not wavered in its annual price increase for its core subscription service. This business will likely stabilize in time and continues to generate copious free cash flow. If we apply a modest multiple to this cash flow, we arrive at a market capitalization that is well below the current market-assigned equity value of the company. As a side note, it’s worth mentioning that this dynamic precludes DISH from being analyzed by investors using investment screens, as it appears to be statically “expensive.” It turns out that DISH trades at a premium for very good reasons. The more immediate opportunity that is now apparent in the company’s financial statements relates to the company’s 2007 acquisition of Sling Media. Sling, which has yet to generate meaningful cash flow, is an “over the top” (i.e., no cable subscription) internet protocol television (“IPTV”) service. This service allows subscribers to access a limited, but highly valuable roster of televised content for $20 per month on TV, tablet, phone or computer. IPTV is in its infancy, as content partners are fighting to maintain their valuable “bundles” of channels, which are only distributed together through cable companies. However, streaming appears to be the direction that television viewership is headed, particularly for millennials and future generations. Sling Media would certainly fetch a gaudy valuation multiple were it traded separately, but we are happy to have exposure through DISH.
Sling Media has great potential, but its ultimate value is far from certain, and likely rather small related to the total asset value of DISH. The far more uncertain and significant “hidden” value is related to DISH’s 2012 acquisition of wireless spectrum rights from bankrupt DBSD North America and TerreStar Networks. DISH has invested over $5.0 billion in wireless spectrum licenses and related assets dating back to 2008, including certain 700 MHz licenses acquired at the height of the financial crisis. More importantly, the 2012 acquisitions include 40 MHz of licenses under AWS-4 authority. This spectrum is in the ultra-high frequency (“UHF”) band and of particular interest due to the rapidly accelerating wireless data demand related to smart phone and tablets. It is thought that DISH will partner, sell or sublease these licenses with/to a wireless operator that is in need of additional capacity. While it was speculated that the licenses were worth a considerable amount more than cost, the picture became clearer in January of this year with the conclusion of the FCC AWS-3 auction, which provided indicative pricing for DISH’s AWS-4 licenses. The auction suggests that DISH spectrum may be worth as much as the entire company is currently being traded for; yet, the stock is down over 7% through the first 2 quarters of this year.
The value of Sling Media and the wireless spectrum is ignored by most of the investment community simply due to the uncertainty regarding the timing and method of ultimate value realization. Charles Ergen has nearly $17 billion of his personal capital at stake and is methodical in his exploration of monetization efforts, and thus far his patience has resulted in only increasing indicative value for the assets. This is exactly the type of opportunity that we embrace, recognizing that our conservative estimated rate of return will be well into the double digits, even if 3-5 years are required to realize the asset values.
Many of the top positions in the Funds exhibit similar characteristics to DISH: dormant assets, owner operator, spin-off history, terms of trades, scalability, and time arbitrage. The catalyst may not be as obvious with most holdings as it is with DISH, but with every day that passes, the realization of these returns is nearer. Patience has long been our strong suit, and it is particularly difficult with low rate-driven broad market rallies. We have been through periods such as this before and have been rewarded at the end. We believe that this experience will not be different.

There is no assurance that specific securities discussed herein are, or will remain, holdings in the Funds. Opinions expressed are Kinetics Asset Management’s present opinions only, and are subject to change.
Disclosure
This material is intended to be reviewed in conjunction with a current prospectus, which includes all fees and expenses that apply to a continued investment, as well as information regarding the risk factors, policies and objectives of the Funds. Read it carefully before investing.
Mutual Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Because The Internet Fund, The Medical Fund and The Market Opportunities Fund invest in a single industry or geographic region, their shares are subject to a higher degree of risk than funds with a higher level of diversification. Internet, biotechnology and certain capital markets or gaming stocks are subject to a rate of change in technology, obsolescence and competition that is generally higher than that of other industries, hence they may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations.
International investing [for all Funds] presents special risks including currency exchange fluctuation, government regulations, and the potential for political and economic instability. Accordingly, the share prices for these Funds are expected to be more volatile than that of U.S.-only funds. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
Because smaller companies [for The Small Cap Opportunities Fund] often have narrower markets and limited financial resources, they present more risk than larger, more well established, companies.
Non-investment grade debt securities [for all Funds], i.e., junk bonds, are subject to greater credit risk, price volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities.
Further, options contain special risks including the imperfect correlation between the value of the option and the value of the underlying asset. Investments [for The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund and The Alternative Income Fund] in futures, swaps and other derivative instruments may result in loss as derivative instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. To the extent the Funds segregate assets to cover derivative positions, they may impair their ability to meet current obligations, to honor requests for redemption and to manage the investments in a manner consistent with their respective investment objectives. Purchasing and writing put and call
options and, in particular, writing “uncovered” options are highly specialized activities that entail greater than ordinary investment risk.
As non-diversified Funds [except The Global Fund and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund] the value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than shares invested in a broader range of industries and companies. Unlike other investment companies that directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, The Kinetics Mutual Funds pursue their investment objectives by investing all of their investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series of the Kinetics Portfolios Trust.
The information concerning the Funds included in the shareholder report contains certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.
The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQ) and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) each represent an unmanaged, broad-basket of stocks. They are typically used as a proxy for overall market performance.

| Expense Example |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
Shareholders incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvestments of dividends or other distributions made by a Fund, redemption fees, and exchange fees, and (2), ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help investors understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a series of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (each a “Feeder Fund” and collectively the “Feeder 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 on January 1, 2015 and held for the entire period from January 1, 2015 to June 30, 2015.
Actual Expenses
The first line item of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses before and after expense reimbursement. Unlike other mutual funds that directly acquire and manage their own portfolio securities, each Feeder Fund invests all or generally all of its investable assets in a corresponding series of The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (each, a “Master Portfolio”, and together the “Master Portfolios”), a separately registered investment company. The Master Portfolio, in turn, invests in securities. With this type of organization, expenses can accrue specifically to the Master Portfolio or the Feeder Fund or both. Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio’s expenses, including directed brokerage credits, on a daily basis. Any expense reductions include Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.
The Feeder Funds will charge shareholder fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and exchanges executed by telephone between a Feeder Fund and any other Feeder Fund. The Feeder Funds’ transfer agent charges a $5.00 transaction fee to shareholder accounts for telephone exchanges between any two Feeder Funds. The Feeder Funds’ transfer agent does not charge a transaction fee for written exchange requests. IRA accounts are assessed a $15.00 annual fee. Finally, as a disincentive to market-timing transactions, the Feeder Funds will assess a 2.00% fee on the redemption or exchange of Fund shares held for less than 30 days. These fees will be paid to the Feeder Funds to help offset transaction costs. The Feeder Funds reserve the right to waive the redemption fee, subject to their sole discretion, in instances deemed not to be disadvantageous to the Feeder Funds or shareholders as described in the Feeder Funds’ prospectus.

Expense Example — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
You may use the information provided in the first line, together with the amounts 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 item of the tables below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Feeder Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Feeder Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses one paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Feeder Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight one’s ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help one determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs had been included, one’s costs would have been higher.

1. Organization
Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is incorporated in the State of Maryland. The Company is an open-end management investment company issuing its shares in series. One billion shares are authorized for the Company with a par value of $0.001 per share. The series of the Company presently authorized are The Internet Fund (“Internet”), The Global Fund (“Global”), The Paradigm Fund (“Paradigm”), The Medical Fund (“Medical”), The Small Cap Opportunities Fund (“Small Cap”), The Market Opportunities Fund (“Market Opportunities”), The Alternative Income Fund (“Alternative Income”), and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund (“Multi-Disciplinary Income”). Investment operations of the Company began on October 21, 1996 (Internet), September 30, 1999 (Medical), December 31, 1999 (Global and Paradigm), March 20, 2000 (Small Cap), January 31, 2006 (Market Opportunities), June 29, 2007 (Alternative Income), and February 11, 2008 (Multi-Disciplinary Income). Each series, unlike many other investment companies which directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series (each a “Master Portfolio” and collectively the “Master Portfolios”) of Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”).
On April 28, 2000 (January 31, 2006 with respect to Market Opportunities, June 29, 2007 with respect to Alternative Income, and February 11, 2008 with respect to Multi-Disciplinary Income), each series in the Company entered into a master-feeder fund structure. By entering into this structure, each series (each a “Feeder Fund” and collectively, the “Feeder Funds”) invested all of its assets in a corresponding Master Portfolio which had the same investment objective as the Feeder Fund. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds. Each Feeder Fund receives a proportionate amount of interest in the Master Portfolio equal to its relative contribution of capital. Thus, each Feeder Fund is allocated its portion of income, gains (losses) and expenses from the Master Portfolio.
| KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
Each Feeder Fund’s respective interest in the corresponding Master Portfolio as of June 30, 2015 is as follows:
| | Interest in Master Portfolio |
| Internet Fund | 99.987% |
| Global Fund | 99.916% |
| Paradigm Fund | 98.960% |
| Medical Fund | 99.879% |
| Small Cap Fund | 99.987% |
| Market Opportunities Fund | 99.968% |
| Alternative Income Fund | 99.663% |
| Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund | 99.888% |
Prior to the conversion to a master-feeder fund structure on April 28, 2000, each then existing series conducted its own investment operations.
As of June 30, 2015 each of the Feeder Funds offers Advisor Class A shares. Advisor Class A shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. The Advisor Class A shares are also subject to a front-end sales charge of 5.75%.
As of June 30, 2015, each of the Feeder Funds offers Advisor Class C shares. Advisor Class C shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. If you sell your Advisor Class C shares within 12 months of purchase, you will have to pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00%, which is applied to the NAV of the shares on the date of original purchase or on the date of redemption, whichever is less.
As of June 30, 2015, each of the Feeder Funds offers No Load Class shares. No Load Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets but do not have 12b-1 fees or a sales charge.
As of June 30, 2015 the Paradigm, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Alternative Income, and Multi-Disciplinary Income Funds offer Institutional Class shares. Institutional Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of 0.20% of average daily net assets but do not have 12b-1 fees or a sales charge. The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the Institutional Class shareholder servicing fee in excess of 0.05%.
| KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the Rule 12b-1 fees paid by the Advisor Class A and Advisor Class C shares, the front-end sales charge on the Advisor Class A shares, the contingent deferred sales charge on Class C, the shareholder servicing fees paid by the Advisor Class A, Advisor Class C, No Load Class and Institutional Class shares, voting rights on matters pertaining to a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Shares of each Feeder Fund will assess a 2.00% redemption fee (with exceptions) on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class based on its relative net assets.
Refer to the Master Portfolios’ financial statements to obtain information about the investment objective of the corresponding Feeder Fund. The financial statements of the Master Portfolios, including the portfolios of investments, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Feeder Funds’ financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation
Master Portfolio securities that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Foreign securities are valued by an independent pricing service. In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Exchange traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. If
| KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
the composite option price is not available, the mean between the highest bid and the lowest asked quotations at the close of the exchanges will be used. If none of the above are available, exchange traded options are valued at the last quoted sales price. Non-exchange traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices. Debt obligations (including convertible securities) that are either investment grade or non-investment grade and irrespective of days to maturity will be valued as follows: Debt securities are valued at evaluated mean by one of the authorized third party pricing agents which rely on various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Investments in registered open-end investment companies other than exchange-traded funds are valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”). Certain instruments such as repurchase agreements and demand notes, are traded at cost and there are no market values available for those instruments from third parties. Those instruments are priced at cost.
Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolios. In determining the fair value of a security, the Board of Trustees shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Advisor or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Advisor; and (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security; and (viii) the value of a foreign security traded on other foreign markets. At June 30, 2015, 0.00%, 0.00%, and 0.00% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities. The other Master Portfolios did not hold any fair valued securities at June 30, 2015.

Repurchase Agreements
Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolio receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 102% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.
Written Option Accounting
The Master Portfolios may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the Master Portfolio is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for put options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.
Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities and
| KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities
The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. At June 30, 2015, the following Master Portfolios held securities restricted to institutional investors (144A securities):
| | | Market Value | | Percentage of Net Assets |
| The Alternative Income Portfolio | | $ | 653,891 | | | | 1.87 | % |
| The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | | | 28,025,286 | | | | 19.66 | % |
An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which a Master Portfolio has valued the investment. At June 30, 2015, the following Master Portfolios held illiquid securities:
| | | Market Value | | Percentage of Net Assets |
| The Internet Portfolio | | $ | — | * | | | 0.00 | % |
| The Paradigm Portfolio | | | — | * | | | 0.00 | % |
| The Market Opportunities Portfolio | | | — | * | | | 0.00 | % |
| The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | | | 332,500 | | | | 0.23 | % |
| * Amount is less than $0.50. |

When-Issued Securities
The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities. The Master Portfolios maintain at all times cash or other liquid assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for when-issued securities.
Securities Lending
Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker-dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 331/3% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.
Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by Feeder Funds are allocated among the Feeder Funds (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Feeder Funds, depending on the nature of the expenditure.
Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the corresponding Master Portfolio’s expenses on a daily basis. In addition, each Feeder Fund accrues its own separate expenses. Any cap on expenses includes Feeder Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.
Federal Income Taxes
Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Master Portfolio via its investment in a Feeder Fund will be subject to taxation on its share of the Master Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the Master Portfolio’s
| KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio via its investment in a Feeder Fund can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
It is the Feeder Funds’ policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Feeder Funds intend to distribute investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expenses and gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. Additionally, the Feeder Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between capital accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of June 30, 2015, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2011 through 2014. The Funds are 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 six months.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and discounts on the interest method. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Company’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
3. Investment Adviser

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU No. 2014-11 “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” ASU No. 2014-11 makes limited changes to the accounting for repurchase agreements, clarifies when repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions should be accounted for as secured borrowings, and requires additional disclosures regarding these types of transactions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact these disclosures will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

1. Organization
The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware Statutory Trust on March 14, 2000 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company issuing its beneficial interests in series, each series representing a distinct portfolio with its own investment objective and policies. The series currently authorized are: The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, The Alternative Income Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”). Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Master Portfolios, are “non-diversified” series of the Trust, except The Global Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio. The Market Opportunities Portfolio commenced operations on January 31, 2006, The Alternative Income Portfolio commenced operations on June 29, 2007 and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio commenced operations on February 11, 2008. Each of the remaining Master Portfolios commenced operations on April 28, 2000.
Each Master Portfolio is a Master Investment Portfolio in a master-feeder fund structure. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds invested in the Master Portfolio. By contributing assets to the Master Portfolio, the feeder funds receive a beneficial interest in the Master Portfolio. The Master Portfolio then invests the contributed assets in portfolio securities and allocates income, gains (losses) and expenses to the feeder funds based on the feeder funds’ proportionate interests in the Master Portfolio.
Each of the Master Portfolios, except for The Alternative Income Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio, seeks to provide investors with long-term capital growth. The Alternative Income Portfolio seeks to provide current income and gains. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio seeks to provide investors with total return. The Internet Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in the Internet and Internet-related activities. The Global Portfolio generally invests in the equity securities of foreign companies that have the ability to facilitate an increase in the growth of their traditional business lines and in U.S. companies benefiting from international economic growth. The Paradigm Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies that the investment adviser believes are undervalued and that have high returns on equity and are well positioned to reduce their costs, extend the reach of their distribution channels
| KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |

and experience significant growth in their assets or revenues. The Medical Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in medical research, pharmaceutical treatments and related medical technology industries and related technology industries, generally, with a focus on companies engaged in cancer research and drug development. The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign small capitalized companies that provide attractive valuation opportunities due to special situations such as lack of institutional ownership, lack of significant analyst coverage or companies with sound fundamentals that have experienced a short-term earnings shortfall. The Market Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in capital markets or related to capital markets, as well as companies involved in the gaming industry. The Alternative Income and Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolios utilizes a two-part investment strategy, which includes fixed income and derivatives components.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation
Master Portfolio securities that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Foreign securities are valued by an independent pricing service. In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Exchange traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and the lowest asked price across the exchanges where the option is traded. If the composite option price is not available, the mean between the
| KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
highest bid and the lowest asked quotations at the close of the exchanges will be used. If none of the above are available, exchange traded options are valued at the last quoted sales price. Non-exchange traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices. Debt obligations (including convertible securities) that are either investment grade or non-investment grade and irrespective of days to maturity will be valued as follows: Debt securities are valued at evaluated mean by one of the authorized third party pricing agents which rely on various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Investments in registered open-end investment companies other than exchange-traded funds are valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”). Certain instruments such as repurchase agreements and demand notes, are traded at cost and there are no market values available for those instruments from third parties. Those instruments are priced at cost.
Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolios. In determining the fair value of a security, the Board of Trustees shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Adviser or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Adviser; (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security; and (viii) the value of a foreign security traded on other foreign markets. At June 30, 2015, 0.00%, 0.00% and 0.00% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities. The other Master Portfolios did not hold any fair valued securities at June 30, 2015.
| KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
Repurchase Agreements
Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolio receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 102% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.
Written Options
The Master Portfolios may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the Master Portfolio is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for put options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.
Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies
| KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities
The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. At June 30, 2015 the following Master Portfolios held securities restricted to institutional investors (144A Securities):
| | | | | | | | | | Percentage of |
| | | | | | | Market Value | | | Net Assets |
| The Alternative Income Portfolio | | | | | $ | 653,891 | | | 1.87 | % |
| The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | | | | | | 28,025,286 | | | 19.66 | % |
An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the Master Portfolio has valued the investment. At June 30, 2015, the following Master Portfolios held illiquid securities:
| | | | | Percentage of |
| | | Market Value | | Net Assets |
| The Internet Portfolio | | $ | — | * | | 0.00 | % |
| The Paradigm Portfolio | | | — | * | | 0.00 | % |
| The Market Opportunities Portfolio | | | — | * | | 0.00 | % |
| The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | | | 332,500 | | | 0.23 | % |
| | |
| * Amount is less than $0.50. |

| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
When-Issued Securities
The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities. The Master Portfolios maintain at all times cash or other liquid assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for when-issued securities.
Securities Lending
Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 33 1/3% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.
Short-Term Investments
The Portfolios may invest in money market funds and short-term high quality debt securities such as commercial paper, repurchase agreements and certificates of deposit. Money market funds typically invest in short-term instruments and attempt to maintain a stable net asset value. While the risk is low, these funds may lose value. At June 30, 2015, The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio invested approximately 4%, 5%, 7%, 11%, 14%, 5%, and 3%, respectively, of net assets in the Mount Vernon Securities Lending Trust-Prime Portfolio which normally invests in short-term instruments with an objective of maximizing current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity. Mount Vernon Securities Lending Trust-Prime Portfolio’s financial statements are available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.

| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated among the Master Portfolios (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Master Portfolios, depending on the nature of the expenditure. All expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated to the feeder funds daily based on their proportionate interests in the respective Master Portfolios.
Federal Income Taxes
Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in a Master Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Master Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that each Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of June 30, 2015, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2011 through 2014. The Master Portfolios are 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 six months.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and discounts on the interest method. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

3. Investment Adviser
The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Kinetics Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Master Portfolios. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Kinetics LLC. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Master Portfolios, except the Alternative Income Portfolio, compensate the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.25% of each Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The Alternative Income Portfolio compensates the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 0.90% of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, The Alternative Income Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio incurred expenses of $943,181, $55,561, $7,126,154, $182,134, $2,099,667, $327,369, $163,213 and $874,161, respectively, pursuant to the Agreements.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Trust was allocated $13,000 for the services of the Chief Compliance Officer employed by the Adviser.
4. Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts by Trustees of Kinetics Portfolios Trust
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on March 27, 2015, the Board, including all of the Trustees who are not interested persons under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Agreements with respect to each Master Portfolio. In reaching a decision to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered, among others (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, including, but not limited to, a review of the complexity of the services provided, whether the services are provided in a satisfactory and efficient manner; (2) the experience and qualifications of the personnel providing such services; (3) the investment performance of the Trust and the Adviser as compared with industry competitors; (4) an evaluation of the fee structure, any fee waivers, and the Trust’s expense ratios, and a comparison of them in relation to those of other investment companies having comparable investment policies and limitations; (5) possible alternative fee structures or bases for determining fees; (6) the extent to which economies of scale would be
| KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
realized as the Trust grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Trust’s investors; (7) the direct and indirect costs of the services to be provided (and the basis of determining and allocating these costs) and profits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trust; (8) other compensation or possible benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates arising from their advisory and other relationships with the Trust, including, if applicable, any benefits derived or to be derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Trust such as soft dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research to the Trust or the Adviser in return for allocating the Trust’s brokerage; (9) the entrepreneurial risks borne by the Adviser, if any (e.g., because a fund is in a start-up mode or for other reasons, its revenues may be less or its expenses greater than anticipated); and (10) a comparison of the fees charged by the Adviser with fees charged by the Adviser to similar clients; The Lipper peer group information was provided by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Trust’s administrator. The Independent Trustees also discussed the continuing viability of the Master Portfolios.
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that: they were satisfied with the quality of services provided by the Adviser in advising the Master Portfolios, the profits earned by the Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Master Portfolio; and that each Master Portfolio was not large enough to attain significant economies of scale. Based on the factors considered, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was appropriate to renew the Agreements.
5. Securities Transactions
Purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were as follows:

6. Portfolio Securities Loaned
As of June 30, 2015, the Master Portfolios had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral is invested by the custodian in a money market pooled account approved by the Adviser. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Master Portfolio could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. The Master Portfolio receives interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned. The Master Portfolios will continue to receive dividends and interest on all securities loaned. Gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be accounted for by the Master Portfolios. The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral at June 30, 2015, were as follows:
| | | Securities | | | Collateral | |
| The Internet Portfolio | | $ | 5,086,658 | | | $ | 5,262,475 | |

8. Summary of Fair Value Exposure
Various inputs are used in determining the value of a Master Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a Master Portfolio has the ability to access.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing a Master Portfolio’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
| KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
| June 30, 2015 (Unaudited) |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

10. Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
The Master Portfolios are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow a Portfolio to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specific threshold depending on the counterparty and the type of Master Netting Arrangement.

There were no events or translations that occurred during the period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Master Portfolios’ financial statements.
15. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU No. 2014-11 “Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.” ASU No. 2014-11 makes limited changes to the accounting for repurchase agreements, clarifies when repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions should be accounted for as secured borrowings, and requires additional disclosures regarding these types of transactions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact these disclosures will have on the Master Portfolios’ financial statement disclosures.
