KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC.Shareholders’ Letter
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
We are pleased to present the Kinetics Mutual Funds (“Funds”) Semi-Annual Report for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021. Equities compounded upon the gains achieved in 2020 during the first half of the year, with the S&P 500 Index rising 15.25%. The gains are likely related to optimism regarding the continued economic growth coming out of the prior year’s recession, coupled with low interest rates. We believe that the latter is having a larger impact on risk assets given the high valuation multiples, yet the equity gains came in spite of the U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield rising from approximately 0.92% at the end of last year to 1.45% at the end of June. It is likely that the market for risk assets is less sensitive to interest rate levels given the extremely low interest rate base –but only up to a point. For example, in 2016, the S&P 500 Index continued to rise in value after an initial decline following the Federal Reserve’s decision to begin increasing interest rates. The upward trajectory lasted through most of 2018, until the overnight lending rate had risen from effectively zero to nearly 2.5%. At this point, the S&P 500 Index abruptly declined nearly 19%, which prompted the Federal Reserve to lower rates, which ultimately ended back at zero in early 2020.
We believe that the interplay of nominal and real interest rates, inflation, and risk asset valuations will be of critical importance in the coming months. Low long-term interest rates would appear to benefit equity and government policy alike, but in our view, inflation is the swing variable that often prevents central bankers from running too free of policies. The Funds are positioned in recognition of these dynamics and the likelihood that higher inflation levels may be permitted in this cycle, as compared to prior economic expansions. However, real yields get lower as inflation levels rise, and longer dated rates are likely to eventually rise with sustained inflation.
A performance summary for the half year ended June 30, 2021 follows (No-Load Class):
The Internet Fund 15.13%; The Global Fund 18.92%; The Paradigm Fund 52.40%; The Medical Fund 15.75%; The Small Cap Opportunities Fund 62.06%; The Market Opportunities Fund 36.61%; The Alternative Income Fund -0.41%; The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund 2.04%; and the Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund 64.98%. This compares to returns of: 15.25% for the S&P 500® Index; 23.56% for the S&P 600 Small Cap Index; 12.30% for the MSCI All Country World
2
(ACWI) Index; -1.60% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index; 3.62% for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index; 0.21% for the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Credit Bond Index; 12.92% for the Nasdaq Index; and 8.83% for the MSCI EAFE Index.
While we continue to provide equity and fixed income reference benchmark numbers (to aid in understanding how the broad asset classes have performed throughout the first half of 2021), we do not manage our Funds against any specific benchmark, nor have we ever done so in the history of the Funds. We believe that such benchmark adherence is highly detrimental to the long-term returns of a sound investment strategy, particularly in recent years, as the benchmarks themselves have undergone distortions that make them discordant with their original objectives.
In our opinion, there is an abundance of very high-quality businesses in the world, which earn very high returns on invested capital and which have attractive growth prospects. However, many of these companies are trading at valuations that require dramatic future profitability in order to provide an attractive long-term financial return. For example, the Nasdaq 100 Index currently trades at a price to earnings ratio of 46.2x. This represents a 2.2% earnings yield should the companies distribute all of this income to shareholders; however, the vast majority of the companies retain all of their earnings for reinvestment. To be fair, reinvestment at accretive rates is ultimately more beneficial to shareholders than distributed earnings, but in theory, shareholders must receive this income at some point in the future. We can assume that investors in the index today are willing to pay such a high price for the stocks due to their expectations of future earnings growth. A fundamental investor’s assumptions would require some point in time when the stocks growth abates, and the valuation (i.e., shareholder yield) becomes more attractive. We believe that a reasonable shareholder yield in a normalized economic backdrop is approximately 7%, which can be inverted into a price to earnings ratio of approximately 14.3x. If investors were to demand a 7% earnings yield on the Nasdaq 100 Index after a decade of growth, it would require cumulative earnings growth of approximately 225% or 12.5% per annum. These figures may not sound that aggressive based on current or historical growth rates for certain companies, but for this to be sustained for a decade in aggregate is a far more difficult proposition. Furthermore, in the event that nominal U.S. Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth averages between 4%-6% over this time period, the ability to sustainably grow at over 2x has proven to be very limited.
3
This exercise illustrates the challenges of paying high multiples for stocks, even if they are experiencing high growth and have high quality business models. The assumptions required to achieve an earnings yield of 7% in 10 years would still only result in a break-even investment experience. In order to provide strong investment returns, the operational performance would need to be magnitudes higher. In truth, it may be overly conservative to believe that the Nasdaq 100 Index will trade at 14x earnings within the next decade, but the important factors to consider are current valuations and the sensitivity of these valuations to interest rates.
On the opposite end of the investment spectrum from the high growth, highly valued Nasdaq 100 Index, are the “hard asset” companies. Even following their very strong performance in the first half of 2021, energy and materials companies still only represent 5.4% of the S&P 500 Index. The valuations of many of these companies appear to imply to us that the earnings profiles are not only never going to grow sustainably, but they will also decline to zero over time. This is a critical distinction in valuation terms: often, the largest component of a discounted cash flow-based value for a company lies in the terminal or perpetual value of the enterprise. This is despite the fact that, over a long enough time horizon, exceedingly few companies have been able to maintain above market profitability and growth, and most are eventually displaced.
Thus, notwithstanding our views on inflation and various hard asset end markets, it is far more appealing to us as value investors to invest in companies with no value assigned to their long-term future, versus the broader market, which implies to us a value for strong growth and profitability into perpetuity.

Global markets have enjoyed nearly a decade of relative calm, noted by limited volatility and rising price levels, following the global financial crisis of 2008/2009. In our opinion, two of the most disconcerting aspects of the financial crisis were how few people were able to see it coming, and the exposure of the apparent fragility of the financial system. It was previously unfathomable that declining home prices nationwide could result in the bankruptcies of many of the country’s largest financial institutions. Fast forward to 2020, it could easily have been reasoned that a global pandemic, with travel restrictions spanning over a year for much of the world, could easily topple many of the world’s largest companies.
In our opinion, one of the biggest differences between 2008 and 2020 is that the root cause of the problem in 2020 was well known, even if the ultimate toll was unknowable, and policy makers learned from mistakes during the previous crisis and acted aggressively and quickly. Their policy decisions likely staved off what could have been a full financial depression. However, we believe that the unintended consequence of global governments coming to artificially aid financial asset values twice in the past 12 years is the future expectation of similar actions during every episode of market strife. The resultant moral hazard has likely created many different markets with inefficient and potentially unsustainable pricing. The question will be whether the governments will come to the aid of these markets on each and every occasion that inefficiencies correct (i.e., prices decline).
In our opinion, one market that may be too large for even that federal government to stabilize indefinitely is the U.S. Dollar market. At present, the Federal Reserve remains active buying U.S. Treasuries and other government obligations as part of the stimulus measures enacted last year. However, there is no direct intervention in the market for the U.S. Dollar – nor has there needed to be. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index has risen almost 3% in 2021 (which is a large move for a currency/exchange rate) despite the continued deterioration of the federal U.S. balance sheet. By their own admission, the U.S. Congressional Budget Office expects an aggregate deficit of $12 trillion through 2031: almost all of which will be funded by debt held by the public. While the Federal Reserve can theoretically continue to buy U.S. Treasuries, at some point the market price must be set by public buyers. The 10-Year U.S. Treasury yielded 1.45% on June 30th, while the June inflation (CPI) level was recorded at 5.4%;
5
this netted a real yield of -3.95%. However, we believe that negative real yields are unlikely to persist indefinitely, certainly at this extreme level.
We believe that the relative value of the U.S. Dollar will come into question if real yields remain highly negative (for whatever reason) and global counterparties no longer wish to hold the currency. In the event that the Dollar declines, certain global assets which are priced in dollars (i.e., commodities) could rise substantially. However, many other global currencies have similar issues in terms of government deficits and real bond yields. The Dollar has risen/maintained value against other currencies but has fallen sharply against various tangible assets. Commodities certainly fall into the tangible asset category but gains thus far have been muted compared to certain real estate, fine art, antiques, and other high-end items. We believe that it behooves investors to have a variety of exposure to these types of tangible assets.
The equity-oriented funds (Paradigm, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Internet, Global, and Spin-off) all benefitted substantially from their high exposure to “hard asset” oriented businesses. These companies possess unique asset bases which are high quality, finite supply and/or are low on the supply pricing curve. We believe that their asset bases enable these companies to benefit from inflationary forces in the economy for many years to come, yet in capital efficient business models. In particular, Texas Pacific Land Corp. (“TPL”) was a stand-out in terms of performance, rising approximately 120% year-to-date. The gain was likely in recognition of the company’s completing a corporate reorganization in January of this year, and of the benchmark oil and gas prices rising approximately 52% and 37%, respectively. The Funds also benefitted from similar exposures to companies in the precious metals, base metals, and real estate industries. The Funds had various degrees of negative attribution from a cryptocurrency pooled investment fund. The underlying investment exposure to cryptocurrencies rose modestly in value for the year; however, the fund began to trade at a modest discount to NAV earlier this year. We believe that this will be reconciled over time.
The income-oriented funds (The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund and The Alternative Income Fund) have benefitted from shorter durations, although both funds experienced a slight performance drag from defensive cash positions. The rationale for the short duration and higher cash balances is related to the extremely low interest rate environment, which has resulted in very low fixed
6
income returns even further out on the risk spectrum. The yield on the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index of approximately 4.6% was actually lower than the most recent annual CPI reading (5.4%) of June 30th. Capital preservation is a higher priority at present than is expanding our risk tolerance to access these yields.
We are loathed to invest our funds in a manner heavily influenced by macroeconomic assumptions, but the influence of interest rates and inflation on global asset prices is simply too pronounced to ignore today. Fortunately, there are very high quality, differentiated business models that should benefit from our expected shift in macroeconomic variables, and they are trading at low or reasonable valuations. As might be expected, these companies are invested in heavily by our portfolios and will drive future returns. These types of businesses are not nearly as abundant as are the far more richly valued high growth, high margin “compounding” companies that we also favor (although not at the current price levels). Hence, we are embracing higher degrees of concentration of the higher quality but lower valued companies in our portfolios.

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
8
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, The Alternative Income 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, except Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund, 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 MSCI All Country World (ACWI) Index, the S&P 500® Index, NASDAQ Composite®, S&P 600® Small Cap Index, MSCI EAFE® Index, Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Credit Bond Index, Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index each represent an unmanaged, broad-basket of stocks or bonds. They are typically used as a proxy for overall market performance.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FUNDS
June 30, 2021 (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. (except the Spin-off Fund, each a “Feeder Fund” and including the Spin-off Fund, collectively the “Funds”), and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on January 1, 2021 and held for the entire period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.
Actual Expenses
The Actual Expenses comparison provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. 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. Note, the Spin-off Fund is not a Feeder Fund.
The Funds will charge shareholder fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and exchanges executed by telephone between a Fund and any other Fund. The Funds’ transfer agent charges a $5.00 transaction fee to shareholder accounts for telephone exchanges between any two Funds. The 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 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 Funds to help offset transaction costs. The Funds reserve the right to waive the redemption fee, subject to their sole discretion, in instances deemed not to be disadvantageous to the Funds or shareholders as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

Expense Example — (Continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
A shareholder may use the information provided in the first line, together with the amounts invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. A shareholder may divide his/her account value by $1,000 (e.g., 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 paid on his/her account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid for the period. A shareholder may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, a shareholder would compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, shareholders costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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”), The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund (“Multi-Disciplinary Income”) and The Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund (“Spin-off Fund”). 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), February 11, 2008 (Multi-Disciplinary Income) and May 4, 2007 (Spin-off Fund). The Spin-off Fund completed a plan of reorganization at the close of business on December 8, 2017 to begin operations under the Company. Prior to December 8, 2017, the Spin-off Fund, was known as Horizon Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring a series of Investment Managers Series Trust. Each series, except the Spin-off Fund, 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”). The Spin-off Fund does not invest all of its investable assets in a Master Portfolio and will directly acquire and manage its own portfolio of securities.
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, except for the Spin-off Fund, entered into a master-feeder fund structure. By entering into this structure, each series, except for the Spin-off Fund, (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
44
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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.
Each Feeder Fund’s respective interest in the corresponding Master Portfolio as of June 30, 2021, is as follows:
| | |
| Interest in |
| Master Portfolio |
The Internet Fund | 99.978% |
The Global Fund | 99.948% |
The Paradigm Fund | 96.941% |
The Medical Fund | 99.736% |
The Small Cap Opportunities Fund | 99.962% |
The Market Opportunities Fund | 99.967% |
The Alternative Income Fund | 98.910% |
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund | 99.301% |
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, 2021, each of the 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, 2021, each of the 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, 2021, each of the 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.
45
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS

June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
As of June 30, 2021, the Paradigm, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Alternative Income, Multi-Disciplinary Income and Spin-off 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 contractually agreed to waive the portion of the Institutional Class shareholder servicing fee in excess of 0.05%.
Each class of shares for each Feeder Fund and the Spin-off 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 and the Spin-off 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 Portfolios and Spin-off Fund equity securities that are listed on a 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, including exchange-traded funds, that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security
46
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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 equity securities and listed equity securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Futures, options on futures and swap contracts that are listed or traded on a national securities exchange, commodities exchange, contract market or over-the-counter markets and are freely transferable will be 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 a composite option price is not available, then a quote provided by one of the authorized pricing vendors will be used. If neither a composite price nor a quote from an authorized pricing provider is available, and it is the day of expiration or post-expiration, expiring options will be priced at intrinsic value. Non-exchange-traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked quotations. Debt obligations (including convertible securities) that are either investment grade or below investment grade and irrespective of days to maturity 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. Certain instruments, such as repurchase agreements and demand notes, do not have values from third parties and are valued at amortized cost. Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds, are valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”).
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 and the Board of Directors of the Spin-off Fund. In determining the fair value of a security, the Board of Trustees/Directors 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
47
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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, 2021, 0.90% and 0.52% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio and The Market Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities. The other Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund did not hold any fair valued securities at June 30, 2021.
Bitcoin
The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund may invest in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“Bitcoin Trust”) that invests in bitcoins. From time to time, the Bitcoin Trust issues creation units in exchange for bitcoins and distributes bitcoins in exchange for redemption units. The performance of the Bitcoin Trust is intended to reflect changes in the value of the Trust’s bitcoin investments. At June 30, 2021, 28.6%, 16.9%, 5.8%, 2.9%, and 13.0% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were invested in the Bitcoin Trust. Investments in bitcoins produce non-qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables instant transfers to anyone, anywhere in the world. Managing transactions in bitcoins occurs via an open source, cryptographic protocol central authority. The Bitcoin Network is an online, end-user-to-end-user network that hosts the public transaction ledger, known as the Blockchain, and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the Bitcoin Network. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base. Since the Bitcoin Network is decentralized, it does not rely on either governmental authorities or financial institutions to create, transmit or determine the value of bitcoins. Rather, the value of bitcoins is determined by the supply of and demand for bitcoins in the global bitcoin exchange market for the trading of bitcoins, which consists of transactions on electronic bitcoin exchanges (“Bitcoin Exchanges”). Pricing on Bitcoin Exchanges and other venues can be volatile and can
48
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
adversely affect the value of the Bitcoin Trust. Currently, there is relatively small use of bitcoins in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to the relatively large use of bitcoins by speculators, thus contributing to price volatility that could adversely affect a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Bitcoin transactions are irrevocable, and stolen or incorrectly transferred bitcoins may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed bitcoin transactions could adversely affect the value of a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Shares of the Bitcoin Trust may trade at a premium or discount to the net asset value of the Bitcoin Trust. The price of bitcoins is set in transfers by mutual agreement or barter as well as the number of merchants that accept bitcoins. Because bitcoins are digital files that can be transferred without the involvement of intermediaries or third parties, there are little or no transaction costs in direct end-user-to-end-user transactions. Bitcoins can be used to pay for goods and services or can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, at rates determined by the Bitcoin Exchanges. Additionally, third party service providers such as Bitcoin Exchanges are also used for transfers but they may charge significant fees for processing transactions.
As bitcoins have grown in popularity, the U.S. Congress and a number of federal and state agencies (including the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS, and state financial institution regulators) have begun to examine the operations of the network that facilitates bitcoins, bitcoin users and the Bitcoin Exchanges, with particular focus on (1) the extent to which bitcoins can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist enterprises, (2) the safety and soundness of the Bitcoin Exchange or other service-providers that hold bitcoins for users and (3) other risks to investors and consumers who hold and use bitcoins. Ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the value of a Master Portfolio’s and it’s Subsidiary’s investment in the Bitcoin Trust or the ability of the Bitcoin Trust to continue to operate.

Repurchase Agreements
Each Master Portfolio and the Spin-off Fund 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 Portfolios and Spin-off Fund 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 and Spin-off Fund in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio and Spin-off Fund may be delayed or limited.
Written Options
The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio or Spin-off Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio or Spin-off Fund 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 or Spin-off Fund 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 or Spin-off Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio or Spin-off Fund 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 or Spin-off Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, each of the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund are required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or unencumbered, 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 and Spin-off Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund, 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 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 and Spin-off Fund 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 and Spin-off Fund 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 and Spin-off Fund may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. The 144A securities have been deemed to be liquid by the Master Portfolio and Spin-off Fund’s Adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees/Directors. At June 30, 2021, the following Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund held securities restricted to institutional investors (144A securities):
| | Percentage of |
| Market Value | Net Assets |
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | $1,994,910 | 7.21% |

June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in current market conditions within seven days without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. At June 30, 2021, the following Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund held illiquid securities:
| | Percentage of |
| Market Value | Net Assets |
The Internet Portfolio | 2,007,494 | 0.90% |
The Global Portfolio | 133,125 | 0.48% |
The Paradigm Portfolio | 49,851 | 0.00% |
The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio | 900,073 | 0.29% |
The Market Opportunities Portfolio | 3,423,927 | 2.48% |
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | 185,242 | 0.67% |
When-Issued Securities
The Master Portfolios and Spin-off Fund 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 and Spin-off Fund 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 and Spin-off Fund 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 and Spin-off Fund 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 and Spin-off Fund (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio and Spin-off Fund (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 and Spinoff Fund receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.

Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated among the Funds (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the 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 a 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 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 intended that the Spin-off Fund will be managed to satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cayman, Ltd., Cayman wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporations (“CFCs”) and the accounts of Delaware Corporations (“Cayman” or “Delaware”, respectively, or “Subsidiaries” for both). The respective Master Portfolios hold a CFC: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. The respective Master Portfolios hold a Delaware subsidiary: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. The investment of up to 25% of a Master Portfolio’s assets in the Subsidiaries is a structure that has been used by a number of Registered Investment Companies (“RICs”), avoiding bad income generation by indirectly making commodities-related investments. These investments would not generate qualifying income if they were made directly by the RIC. Under Treasury Regulations, income from a foreign subsidiary that is a CFC, such as the Subsidiaries, is qualifying income for a RIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes (1) to the extent the income is actually distributed by the CFC to the RIC each year and (2) even if not distributed currently, to the extent the income is derived with respect to the RIC’s business of investing in stock, securities or currencies. If the IRS were to determine that income derived from a Master
53
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
Portfolio’s investment in its Subsidiaries do not constitute qualifying income and if such positions were upheld by a court, or if future legislation or Treasury regulations were to adversely affect the tax treatment of such investments, then the corresponding Feeder Fund might cease to qualify as a RIC and could be required to reduce its exposure to such investments. In that event, a Feeder Fund’s taxable income would be subject to tax at the Feeder Fund level at regular corporate tax rates (without reduction for distributions to shareholders) and to a further tax at the shareholder level when such income is distributed. In such an event, in order to re-qualify for taxation as a regulated investment company, the Feeder Fund may be required to recognize unrealized gains, pay substantial taxes and interest and make certain distributions.
It is the Funds’ policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Funds intend to distribute investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders.
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 realized gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. Additionally, the 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, 2021, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020. 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 twelve 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 accretion of discounts on the effective 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 incorporated in accordance with the Company’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 Horizon 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 and Spin-off Fund. 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. The Spinoff Fund compensates the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses as deemed appropriate through at least May 1, 2022. The Adviser may discontinue the waiver/reimbursement at any time after May 1, 2022; these waivers/reimbursements are not subject to recapture. Operating expenses exclude brokerage commissions, borrowing costs on securities sold short, short dividends, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses. Below are operating expense limitations by each share class of each of the funds:

4. Reclassification of Capital Accounts
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended December 31, 2020, each Fund recorded the following reclassifications to the accounts listed below:

Significant Investments
The Spin-off Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in one or more individual securities at any time. The greater percentage of assets in individual securities (not including short-term investments or other funds) exposes the fund to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions, the risks particular to a single company or security, and the risk of potentially lower liquidity. At June 30, 2021, Spin-off Fund invested approximately 74% of its net assets in individual securities greater than 5% of net assets. See the Schedule of Investments for further details.
Holding a large concentration in a single security or issuer may expose the fund to the market volatility of that specific security or issuer if the security or issuer performs worse than the market as a whole, which could adversely affect the fund’s performance. At June 30, 2021, the Spin-off Fund holds 59% of its net assets in Texas Pacific Land Corp. and because a large portion of its revenue is derived from oil and gas royalties, the performance of the Fund could be adversely affected if the underlying markets for oil or gas were to decline, thereby having a more significant impact on the fund given the concentration in this holding.
7. Summary of Fair Value Exposure – Spin-off Fund
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Spin-off Fund’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 the Spin-off Fund 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.

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Spin-off Fund’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.
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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value The Spin-off Fund’s net assets as of June 30, 2021:
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value The Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund’s net assets as of June 30, 2021:

Common Stocks | | $ | 26,697,518 | | | $ | 1,678,502 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 28,376,020 | |

Under the terms of the Agreements, the Spin-off Fund compensates the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Spin-off Fund’s average daily net assets.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates at the end of 2021, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. In addition, derivative contracts that qualified for hedge accounting prior to modification, will be allowed to continue to receive such treatment, even if critical terms change due to a change in the benchmark interest rate. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently assessing the impact of the ASU’s adoption to the Funds’ financial statements and various filings.

Investment Company Derivatives Risk Management Program (Rule 18f-4)
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a Portfolio can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by portfolios to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require portfolios whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Portfolios will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Portfolio(s). When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how a Portfolio uses derivatives, adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance and increase costs related to the Portfolio’s use of derivatives.
SEC Modernizes Framework for Fund Valuation Practices (Rule 2a-5)
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for portfolio valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit portfolio boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a portfolio must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of portfolio investments. The Portfolios will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Portfolios’ financial statements.

14. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract by Directors of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on March 10, 2021, the Board, including all of the Directors who are not interested persons under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), approved the Advisory Agreement between Horizon Kinetics Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”) and Kinetics Spin-off and Corporate Restructuring Fund (“Spin-off Fund”). The Board noted that the Adviser has served as the sub-adviser to the Spin-off Fund since its inception. In reaching a decision to approve the Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, considered, among; (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser including, but not limited to, a review of the complexity of the services provided and 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
69
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
Spinoff Fund and the Adviser as compared with industry competitors; (4) an evaluation of the fee structure, any fee waivers, and the Spin-off Fund’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 realized as the Spin-off Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Spin-off Fund’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 Spin-off Fund; (8) other compensation or possible benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates arising from their advisory and other relationships with the Spin-off Fund, including, if applicable, any benefits derived or to be derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Spin-off Fund such as soft dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research to the Spin-off Fund or the Adviser in return for allocating the Spin-off Fund’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); (10) a comparison of the fees charged by the Adviser with fees charged by the Adviser to similar clients; and (11) the policies and procedures that are in place to address, among other things, informational and cyber-related security.
The Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, concluded that: they were satisfied with the quality of services provided by the Adviser in advising the Spin-off Fund, the profits earned by the Adviser would be reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Spin-off Fund; and that the Spin-off Fund was not large enough to attain significant economies of scale. Based on the factors considered, the Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, concluded that it was appropriate to approve the Agreement.

15. Liquidity Risk Management Program
Effective June 1, 2019, the Company adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Liquidity Risk Management Program” or “Program”) pursuant to the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Rule 22e-4 requires registered open-end funds, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds but not money market funds, to establish liquidity risk management programs in order to effectively manage fund liquidity and shareholder redemptions. The rule is designed to mitigate the risk that a fund could not meet redemption requests without significantly diluting the interests of remaining investors.
The rule requires funds to assess, manage and review their liquidity risk at least annually considering applicable factors such as investment strategy and liquidity during normal and foreseeable stressed conditions, including whether the strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund and whether the fund has a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers. A fund must also assess its use of borrowings and derivatives, short-term and long-term cash flow projections in normal and stressed conditions, holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.
The rule also requires funds to classify their investments as highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid based on the number of days a fund expects it would take to liquidate the investment, and to review these classifications at least monthly or more often under certain conditions. The periods range from three or fewer business days for a highly liquid investment to greater than seven calendar days for settlement of a less liquid investment. Illiquid investments are those a fund does not expect to be able to sell or dispose of within seven calendar days without significantly changing the market value. A fund is prohibited from acquiring an investment if, after the acquisition, its holdings of illiquid assets will exceed 15% of its net assets. In addition, if a fund permits redemptions in-kind, the rule requires the fund to establish redemption in-kind policies and procedures governing how and when it will engage in such redemptions.

Pursuant to the rule’s requirements, the Liquidity Risk Management Program has been reviewed and approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Furthermore, the Board receives a written report prepared by the Program’s Administrator that addresses the operation of the Program, assesses its adequacy and effectiveness and any material changes made to the Program.
Assessment of Program
In the opinion of the Program Administrator, the Program approved by the Board continues to be adequate for the Funds and the Program has been implemented effectively. The Program Administrator has monitored each Fund’s liquidity risk and the liquidity classification of the securities held by the Funds and determined that the Program is operating effectively.
During the period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021, there were no material changes to the Program and no material liquidity events that impacted the Funds. During the period, the Funds held sufficient highly liquid assets to meet fund redemptions.

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, The Alternative Income 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 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 utilize a two-part investment strategy, which includes fixed income and derivatives components. The Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio utilize wholly-owned subsidiaries to achieve their investment objectives. Please see Note 2 for further details.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation
Master Portfolios equity securities that are listed on a 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, including exchange-traded funds, that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). 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 equity securities and listed equity securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Futures, options on futures and swap contracts that are listed or traded on a national securities exchange, commodities exchange, contract market or over-the-counter markets
149
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
and are freely transferable will be 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 asked price across the exchanges where the option is traded. If a composite option price is not available, then a quote provided by one of the authorized pricing vendors will be used. If neither a composite price nor a quote from an authorized pricing provider is available, and it is the day of expiration or post-expiration, expiring options will be priced at intrinsic value. Non-exchange-traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked quotations. Debt obligations (including convertible securities) that are either investment grade or below investment grade and irrespective of days to maturity 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. Certain instruments, such as repurchase agreements and demand notes, do not have values from third parties and are valued at amortized cost. Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds, are valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”).
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, 2021, 0.90% and 0.52% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio and The Market Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities. The other Master Portfolios did not hold any fair valued securities at June 30, 2021.
Bitcoin
The Master Portfolios may invest in Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“Bitcoin Trust”) that invests in bitcoins. From time to time, the Bitcoin Trust issues creation units in exchange for bitcoins and distributes bitcoins in exchange for redemption units. The performance of the Bitcoin Trust is intended to reflect changes in the value of the Trust’s bitcoin investments. At June 30, 2021, 28.6%, 16.9%, 5.8%, 2.9%, and 13.0% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were invested in the Bitcoin Trust. Investments in bitcoins produce non-qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables instant transfers to anyone, anywhere in the world. Managing transactions in bitcoins occurs via an open source, cryptographic protocol central authority. The Bitcoin Network is an online, end-user-to-end-user network that hosts the public transaction ledger, known as the Blockchain, and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the Bitcoin Network. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base. Since the Bitcoin Network is decentralized, it does not rely on either governmental authorities or financial institutions to create, transmit or determine the value of bitcoins. Rather, the value of bitcoins is determined by the supply of and demand for bitcoins in the global bitcoin exchange market for the trading of bitcoins, which consists of transactions on electronic bitcoin exchanges (“Bitcoin Exchanges”). Pricing on Bitcoin Exchanges and other venues can be volatile and can adversely affect the value of the Bitcoin Trust. Currently, there is relatively small use of bitcoins in the retail and commercial marketplace in comparison to the relatively large use of bitcoins by speculators, thus contributing to price volatility that could adversely affect a Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Bitcoin transactions are irrevocable, and stolen or incorrectly transferred bitcoins may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed bitcoin transactions could adversely affect the value of a
151
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
Master Portfolio’s direct or indirect investment in the Bitcoin Trust. Shares of the Bitcoin Trust may trade at a premium or discount to the net asset value of the Bitcoin Trust. The price of bitcoins is set in transfers by mutual agreement or barter as well as the number of merchants that accept bitcoins. Because bitcoins are digital files that can be transferred without the involvement of intermediaries or third parties, there are little or no transaction costs in direct end-user-to-end-user transactions. Bitcoins can be used to pay for goods and services or can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, at rates determined by the Bitcoin Exchanges. Additionally, third party service providers such as Bitcoin Exchanges are also used for transfers but they may charge significant fees for processing transactions.
As bitcoins have grown in popularity, the U.S. Congress and a number of federal and state agencies (including the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS, and state financial institution regulators) have begun to examine the operations of the network that facilitates bitcoins, bitcoin users and the Bitcoin Exchanges, with particular focus on (1) the extent to which bitcoins can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist enterprises, (2) the safety and soundness of the Bitcoin Exchange or other service-providers that hold bitcoins for users and (3) other risks to investors and consumers who hold and use bitcoins. Ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the value of a Master Portfolio’s and its Subsidiary’s investment in the Bitcoin Trust or the ability of the Bitcoin Trust to continue to operate.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cayman, Ltd., Cayman wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporations (“CFCs”) and the accounts of Delaware Corporations (the “Cayman” or “Delaware”, respectively, or “Subsidiaries” for both). The respective Master Portfolios hold a CFC: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. The respective Master Portfolios hold a Delaware subsidiary: Internet Portfolio, Global Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio. Each Master Portfolio can invest up to 25% of its total
152
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
assets in the Subsidiaries. The Subsidiaries act as an investment vehicle in order to invest in commodity-linked and bitcoin-linked instruments consistent with the Portfolio’s investment objectives and policies. By investing in its Subsidiaries, a Master Portfolio is indirectly exposed to the risks associated with the Subsidiary’s investments. The investments held by a Subsidiary are generally similar to those that are permitted to be held by the Master Portfolio and are subject to the same risks that apply to similar investments if held directly by the Master Portfolio. Each Subsidiary is not registered under the 1940 Act and is not subject to all the investor protections of the 1940 Act. However, each Master Portfolio wholly-owns and controls its Subsidiaries, making it unlikely that the Subsidiaries will take action contrary to the interests of the Master Portfolio. Each Subsidiary will be subject to the same investment restrictions and limitations and follow the same compliance policies and procedures as its Master Portfolio.
The Cayman Subsidiary is an exempted Cayman investment company and is not subject to Cayman Islands taxes at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, each Cayman Subsidiary is a CFC not subject to U.S. income taxes. As a wholly-owned CFC, however, each Cayman Subsidiary’s net income and capital gain will be included each year in the respective Portfolio’s investment company taxable income.
As of June 30, 2021, the respective Cayman Subsidiary’s net assets and percent of the respective Portfolio’s net assets were:
Internet Portfolio | $19,688,432 | 8.80% |
Global Portfolio | $950,503 | 3.43% |
Paradigm Portfolio | $60,138,672 | 6.00% |
Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio | $9,424,052 | 3.01% |
Market Opportunities Portfolio | $4,591,126 | 3.33% |
The Delaware Subsidiary is organized under Delaware law. Any net gains that the Delaware Subsidiary recognizes on future sales of the contributed Bitcoin Trust shares will be subject to federal and state corporate income tax, but the dividends that the Delaware Subsidiary pays to its respective Master Portfolio (i.e., those gains, net of the tax paid and any other expenses of the Delaware Subsidiary) will be eligible to be treated as “qualified dividend income” under the Internal Revenue Code.
153
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
As of June 30, 2021, the respective Delaware Subsidiary’s net assets and percent of the respective Portfolio’s net assets were:
Internet Portfolio | $3,356 | 0.00% |
Global Portfolio | $3,344 | 0.01% |
Market Opportunities Portfolio | $3,394 | 0.00% |
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 unencumbered, liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for
154
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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 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. The 144A securities have been deemed to be liquid by the Master Portfolios Adviser under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. At June 30, 2021, the following Master Portfolios held securities restricted to institutional investors (144A Securities):
| | Percentage of |
| Market Value | Net Assets |
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | $1,994,910 | 7.21% |
An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in current market conditions within seven days without the sale or disposition
155
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —

significantly changing the market value of the investment. At June 30, 2021, the following Master Portfolios held illiquid securities:
| | | |
| | Percentage of |
| Market Value | Net Assets |
The Internet Portfolio | 2,007,494 | 0.90% |
The Global Portfolio | 133,125 | 0.48% |
The Paradigm Portfolio | 49,851 | 0.00% |
The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio | 900,073 | 0.29% |
The Market Opportunities Portfolio | 3,423,927 | 2.48% |
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | 185,242 | 0.67% |
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.
Significant Investments
The Portfolios may invest a greater percentage of their assets in one or more individual securities at any time. The greater percentage of assets in individual securities (not including short-term investments or other funds) expose the portfolios to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions, the risks particular to a single company or security, and the risk of potentially lower liquidity. At June 30, 2021, The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm
156
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio invested approximately 51%, 34%, 62%, 51%, 60%, 55% and 33% of their respective net assets in individual securities greater than 5% of net assets. See the respective Schedule of Investments for further details.
Holding a large concentration in a single security or issuer may expose the portfolios to the market volatility of that specific security or issuer if the security or issuer performs worse than the market as a whole, which could adversely affect the portfolios’ performance. At June 30, 2021, The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio held 15%, 17%, 56%, 53% and 42% of their respective net assets in Texas Pacific Land Corp. and because a large portion of its revenue is derived from oil and gas royalties, the performance of the portfolios could be adversely affected if the underlying markets for oil and gas were to decline, thereby having a more significant impact on the portfolios given the concentration in this holding.
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.
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
157
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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, 2021, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2020. 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 twelve 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 accretion of discounts on the effective 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 incorporated 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 Horizon 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
158
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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-month period ended June 30, 2021, Master Portfolios incurred the following expenses pursuant to the Agreements:
| Investment Advisory Fees |
The Internet Portfolio | $1,413,236 |
The Global Portfolio | 164,469 |
The Paradigm Portfolio | 5,661,616 |
The Medical Portfolio | 111,364 |
The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio | 1,653,508 |
The Market Opportunities Portfolio | 806,578 |
The Alternative Income Portfolio | 55,507 |
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | 168,957 |
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Trust was allocated approximately $13,000 for the services of the Chief Compliance Officer employed by the Adviser.
4. Approval of Investment Advisory Contract by Trustees of Kinetics Portfolios Trust (Unaudited)
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on March 10, 2021, the Board, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Advisory Agreements with respect to each Master Portfolio. In reaching a decision to approve the Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”), the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, considered, among; (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser including, but not limited to, a review of the complexity of the services provided and 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 Master Portfolios over time, along with that of the Adviser as compared with industry competitors; (4) an evaluation of the fee structure, any fee waivers, and the Master Portfolios’ expense ratios, and a comparison of them in relation to those of other investment companies having comparable investment policies and limitations; (6) possible alternative fee structures or bases for determining fees; (7) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Master Portfolios grows and whether fee levels
159
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors; (8) 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 Master Portfolios; (9) other compensation or possible benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates arising from their advisory and other relationships with the Master Portfolios, including, if applicable, any benefits derived or to be derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Master Portfolios such as soft dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research to the Master Portfolios or the Adviser in return for allocating the Master Portfolios’ brokerage; (10) 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); (11) a comparison of the fees charged by the Adviser with fees charged by the Adviser to similar clients; and (12) the policies and procedures that are in place to address, among other things, informational and cyber-related security.
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 would be 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 approve the Agreements.
5. Liquidity Risk Management Program
Effective June 1, 2019, the Trust adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Liquidity Risk Management Program” or “Program”) pursuant to the requirements of Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Rule 22e-4 requires registered open-end funds, including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds but not money market funds, to establish liquidity risk management programs in order to effectively manage fund liquidity and shareholder redemptions. The rule is designed to mitigate the risk that a fund could not meet redemption requests without significantly diluting the interests of remaining investors.
The rule requires funds to assess, manage and review their liquidity risk at least annually considering applicable factors such as investment strategy and liquidity during normal and foreseeable stressed conditions, including whether
160
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
the strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund and whether the fund has a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers. A fund must also assess its use of borrowings and derivatives, short-term and long-term cash flow projections in normal and stressed conditions, holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.
The rule also requires funds to classify their investments as highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid based on the number of days a fund expects it would take to liquidate the investment, and to review these classifications at least monthly or more often under certain conditions. The periods range from three or fewer business days for a highly liquid investment to greater than seven calendar days for settlement of a less liquid investment. Illiquid investments are those a fund does not expect to be able to sell or dispose of within seven calendar days without significantly changing the market value. A fund is prohibited from acquiring an investment if, after the acquisition, its holdings of illiquid assets will exceed 15% of its net assets. In addition, if a fund permits redemptions in-kind, the rule requires the fund to establish redemption in-kind policies and procedures governing how and when it will engage in such redemptions.
Pursuant to the rule’s requirements, the Liquidity Risk Management Program has been reviewed and approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Furthermore, the Board receives a written report prepared by the Program’s Administrator that addresses the operation of the Program, assesses its adequacy and effectiveness and any material changes made to the Program.
Assessment of Program
In the opinion of the Program Administrator, the Program approved by the Board continues to be adequate for the Portfolios and the Program has been implemented effectively. The Program Administrator has monitored each Portfolios’ liquidity risk and the liquidity classification of the securities held by the Portfolios and determined that the Program is operating effectively.
During the period from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021, there were no material changes to the Program and no material liquidity events that impacted the Portfolios. During the period, the Portfolios held sufficient highly liquid assets to meet fund redemptions.

7. Portfolio Securities Loaned
As of June 30, 2021, the Master Portfolios had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The majority of 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
162
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. As the securities loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time, the remaining maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous. The value of the securities on loan and the value of the related collateral at June 30, 2021, were as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | Securities | | | Collateral | |
The Internet Portfolio | | $ | 13,838,339 | | | $ | 14,854,976 | |

9. Summary of Fair Value Exposure
Various inputs are used in determining the value of Master Portfolio’s and Spinoff Fund’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 Master Portfolio’s and Spin-off Fund 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.
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.

^ See Consolidated Portfolio of Investments for breakout of investments by industry classification.10. Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Master Portfolios have adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure of derivatives and hedging activity intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why a Master Portfolio uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for by the Master Portfolios, and how derivative instruments affect a Master Portfolio’s results of operations and financial position. The Master Portfolios utilized options to implement or to gain further exposure to their respective investment strategies. At June 30, 2021, none of the Portfolios held any derivative instruments. At June 30, 2021, none of the Portfolios held any derivative instruments and there were no transactions during the period ended June 30, 2021.
11. 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
174
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements —
(Continued) June 30, 2021 (Unaudited)
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.
The following is a summary of the Assets and Liabilities subject to offsetting in the Master Portfolios as of June 30, 2021:

13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates at the end of 2021, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. In addition, derivative contracts that qualified for hedge accounting prior to modification, will be allowed to continue to receive such treatment, even if critical terms change due to a change in the benchmark interest rate. For new and existing contracts, the Portfolios may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently assessing the impact of the ASU’s adoption to the Portfolios’ financial statements and various filings.
Investment Company Derivatives Risk Management Program (Rule 18f-4)
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a Portfolio can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by portfolios to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require portfolios whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Portfolios will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Portfolio(s). When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how a Portfolio uses derivatives, adversely affect the Portfolio’s performance and increase costs related to the Portfolio’s use of derivatives.

SEC Modernizes Framework for Fund Valuation Practices (Rule 2a-5)
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for portfolio valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit portfolio boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a portfolio must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of portfolio investments. The Portfolios will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Portfolios’ financial statements.
