March 31, 2021
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
We are pleased to present the annual report dated March 31, 2021 for the Plumb Funds. The world lapped the anniversary of the initial pandemic breakout in the first quarter of 2021. We all recognize that in some ways the world will never be the same. But, as throughout history, a new normal replaces the old and we start to adjust to new realities. The stock and bond markets have been barometers reflecting change. That is why our stock portfolio emphasis is focused on identifying disruptive changes and the drivers, enablers, and beneficiaries of major innovations. We then drill down into projected growth rates, profit margins, cash flow, sustainability, and valuations.
The pandemic accelerated the adoption of many technologies and behavioral changes that were already quite strong before the crisis started. Virtual shopping, digital wallet, streaming entertainment and business meetings, cloud data storage, virtualization, software as a service business models that enhance security, reduce processing time and expense, etc. all were quite developed and immediately able to fill voids left by the economic shutdowns.
It also accelerated the process of reducing the footprint of brick-and-mortar retailers, made the very competitive restaurant industry even tougher to survive and increased the economic divide between economies and within economies. So, while China and much of the United States is poised for significant economic recovery in 2021, Europe and the emerging economies are still under significant pressure with muted recovery prospects for this year.
The bond market reflects supply and demand, like all other markets. In the United States government fiscal and monetary policies set the stage. The Federal Reserve has pledged to remain accommodative (keeping interest rates low) in its policies well into next year and possibly beyond. But while their initial actions last year drove down rates along the entire maturity spectrum, we have seen ten-year Treasury yields pick up over 1% since last summer.
The United States stock markets reflected optimism over the developing recovery with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 and NASDAQ all showing single digit returns for the first quarter and over 50% returns over the last twelve months.1,2 As the focus of investors turned to cyclical recovery plays, the growth stocks that served us so well last year took a rest in the first part of calendar 2021. Please review the Plumb Fund Fact sheets under “Literature” at plumbfunds.com. We are very proud that both Funds have provided returns exceeding their benchmarks for the one, three, five and ten year periods ending March 31, 2021.

We believe that the worldwide recovery from the pandemic induced economic shutdown will continue for the rest of 2021, albeit unevenly and not universally. For example, it is estimated that five percent of all home mortgages are still in forbearance programs. Some people, companies and countries will come back stronger than ever while some will have a very difficult time dealing with deficiencies, debt levels and structural problems that became more exposed during the crisis.
We are still trying to identify and hold long-term winners with our equity investments and are generally keeping fixed income exposure limited to shorter duration investment grade bonds. We believe this has the potential to continue to benefit you as the year progresses.
We hope you, your family, friends and colleagues stay safe through all of this.
Thomas G. Plumb
SPXT-S&P 500 Total Return Index. S&P 500 is an unmanaged index which is widely regarded as the standard for measuring large-cap U.S. stock market performance. Calculated intraday by S&P based on the price changes and reinvested dividends of SPX with a starting date of Jan 4, 1988.
Nasdaq is a global electronic marketplace for buying and selling securities. Nasdaq was created by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) to enable investors to trade securities on a computerized, speedy, and transparent system, and commenced operations on February 8, 1971.
It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Opinions expressed are those of the author and are subject to change, are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
The fund may invest in small and mid-sized companies which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The funds invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Because the funds may invest in ETFs, they are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a fund’s ability to sell its
shares. The fund may also use options and future contracts, which have the risks of unlimited losses of the underlying holdings due to unanticipated market movements and failure to correctly predict the direction of securities prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. The investment in options is not suitable for all investors. The Plumb Balanced Fund will invest in debt securities, which typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.
Fund holdings are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

Expense Example
March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Plumb Funds (the “Funds”), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees (for Class A Shares); and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2020 – March 31, 2021).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. However, the table does not include shareholder-specific fees such as the $15.00 fee charged for wire redemptions. The table also does not include portfolio trading commissions and related trading costs. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balanced or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees, which, although not charged by the Funds, may be charged by other funds. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Security Valuation:
The Funds have adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the year. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| Level 1 – | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| | |
| Level 2 – | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
| | |
| Level 3 – | significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining far value of investments) |
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2021 (Continued)
Equity securities, including domestic common stocks and foreign issued common stocks, are valued at the last sale price reported by the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded on the day of valuation. Nasdaq-listed securities are valued at their Nasdaq Official Closing Price. Equity securities not traded on a listed exchange or not traded using Nasdaq are valued as of the last sale price at the close of the U.S. market. If there are no sales on a given day for securities traded on an exchange, the latest bid quotation will be used. These securities will generally be classified as Level 1 securities.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at the ending net asset value (NAV) provided by the service agent of the Funds and will be classified as Level 1 securities.
Debt securities such as corporate bonds and preferred securities are valued using a market approach based on information supplied by independent pricing services. The market inputs used by the independent pricing service include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued on an amortized cost basis, which involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating rates on the fair value of the instrument. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these debt securities will generally be classified as Level 2 securities.
Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor pursuant to procedures established under the general supervision and responsibility of the Funds’ Board of Directors and will be classified as Level 3 securities.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. 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.

Use of Estimates:
The presentation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expenses:
Generally, expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one series of the Company are allocated among the respective series based on relative net assets or another appropriate basis.
Federal Income Taxes:
The Funds intend to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all net investment taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
As of and during the year ended March 31, 2021, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2021 (Continued)
Distributions to Shareholders:
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Funds may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the recognition and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, the Funds did not make any reclassifications to increase (decrease) the components of net assets.
Other:
Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. Gains or losses from investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of portfolio securities and sales and maturities of short-term securities are reported within realized gain (loss) on investments. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the values of investments in securities from fluctuations in exchange rates are reported within unrealized gain (loss) on investments.
Under the Company’s organizational documents, the Company will indemnify its officers and directors for certain liabilities that may arise from performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representatives and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred.

3. DISTRIBUTION PLAN
The Company has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”), on behalf of the Funds, which authorizes it to pay Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) a distribution fee up to 0.25% of the Funds’ average daily net assets attributable to both the Investor Shares and the Class A Shares of each Fund, for services to prospective Fund shareholders and distribution of Fund shares. During the year ended March 31, 2021, the Plumb Balanced Fund Investor Shares and Class A Shares incurred expenses of $271,669 and $17, respectively, and the Plumb Equity Fund Investor Shares and Class A Shares incurred expenses of $71,338 and $17, respectively, pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan. The Institutional Shares of each Fund are not subject to any 12b-1 fees under this Plan.
4. INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND OTHER AFFILIATES
The Funds have an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wisconsin Capital Management, LLC. The Advisory Agreement provides for advisory fees computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Funds’ average daily net assets.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the Funds’ expenses. Effective December 1, 2017, Wisconsin Capital Management, LLC, the investment advisor to the Funds (the “Advisor”), has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fee and/or reimburse expenses in order to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of each Fund to 1.19% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the Investor Shares and the Class A Shares, and 0.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the Institutional Shares. This contractual limitation is in effect until July 31, 2022 and may not be terminated without the approval of the Board of Directors of Wisconsin Capital Funds, Inc. Prior to December 1, 2017, the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund’s expense cap was 1.30% and 1.45% for the Investor Shares, respectively. Any such waiver or reimbursement is subject to later adjustment to allow the Advisor to recoup amounts waived or reimbursed to the extent actual fees and expenses for a period are less than the expense limitation caps in place at the time the waiver was made, provided, however, that the Advisor shall only be entitled to recoup such amounts for a period of three years from the date such amount was waived or reimbursed. For the year ended March 31, 2021, the Advisor waived $36,933 of expenses and recouped $2,225 of expenses in the Plumb Balanced Fund’s Investor Shares and waived $5,682 and $9 in Plumb Balanced Fund’s Institutional Shares and Class A Shares, respectively. For the year ended March 31, 2021, the Advisor waived $108,883, $31,336, and $37 in expenses in the Plumb Equity Fund’s Investor Shares, Institutional Shares, and Class A Shares, respectively.

Additional Information (Unaudited)
1. | OPERATION AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE FUNDS’ LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM: |
The Funds have adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) under Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), that seeks to assess, manage, and review each Fund’s liquidity risk. The Liquidity Rule requires in part that the Board of Directors of the Funds receive a written report on a no-less-frequently-than-annual basis that addresses the operation of the Program and assesses its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including the operation of any highly liquid investment minimum established for a Fund and any material changes to the Program.
The Board of Directors of the Funds has appointed Wisconsin Capital Management, LLC’s Compliance Committee as the program administrator for the Program (the “Program Administrator”). At its meetings on May 11, 2020, August 7, 2020, November 6, 2020 and February 12, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Funds reviewed the Program Administrator’s written reports (collectively, the “Report”) relating to the operation of the Program for the period from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (the “Program Reporting Period”). The Report addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including that each Fund continues to primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments. There were no material changes to the Program during the Program Reporting Period and no liquidity events occurring during the Program Reporting Period that affected the Funds or their ability to meet redemptions.
Based on this review, the Report concluded that the Program continues to be reasonably designed to effectively assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk and the Program has been adequately and effectively implemented with respect to each Fund during the Program Reporting Period.

The registrant’s board of directors has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Harlan Moeckler is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N‑CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
| FYE 3/31/2021 | FYE 3/31/2020 |
Audit Fees | $27,500 | $26,000 |
Audit-Related Fees | $0 | $0 |
Tax Fees | $5,000 | $5,000 |
All Other Fees | $0 | $2,000 |
The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre‑approve all audit and non‑audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.
The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Co applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
| FYE 3/31/2021 | FYE 3/31/2020 |
Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full‑time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 3/31/2021 | FYE 3/31/2020 |
Registrant | $0 | $2,000 |
Registrant’s Investment Adviser | $0 | $0 |
