Each year, the Portfolio sends to its shareholders an updated prospectus and other similar documents (each a “Report”). The mailing of the Reports may result in multiple copies of a Report being sent by the Portfolio to the same household. In order to reduce the volume of mail that the Portfolio sends to a household, the Portfolio may, whenever possible, only send one copy of a Report to shareholders who are members of the same family and share the same address of record. Shareholders may request, however, to receive individual copies of any Report, by contacting the Transfer Agent at (800) 341-8900. Shareholders who own shares of the Portfolio through a financial intermediary may also contact their financial intermediary with such a request. All such requests shall be implemented by the Portfolio within thirty days.

1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds (“Fund”) was organized on September 21, 2015 as a Delaware statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware and is an open-end, series, management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). The Fund is the successor to Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation organized on December 14, 1981, pursuant to a plan of reorganization implemented on May 27, 2016. The Fund currently consists of the following four series (each a “Portfolio”): Permanent Portfolio®, Short-Term Treasury Portfolio, Versatile Bond Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio. Permanent Portfolio®, Short-Term Treasury Portfolio, Versatile Bond Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio commenced investment operations on December 1, 1982, September 21, 1987, November 12, 1991 and May 16, 1990, respectively. Effective May 31, 2016, existing shares of each Portfolio were renamed Class I shares, and Permanent Portfolio®, Versatile Bond Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio commenced offering Class A and Class C shares for purchase through brokers and dealers.
Each share class has equal rights as to earnings and assets except that each class bears different shareholder servicing and distribution expenses. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets.
Each of the Fund’s Portfolios is an investment company, and accordingly, each Portfolio follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification “Financial Services — Investment Companies (Topic 946).” The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses earned and incurred, respectively, during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Valuation of Investments
Each Portfolio’s assets are valued primarily at market value on the basis of the last quoted sales price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Equity securities traded on the Nasdaq National Market System are normally valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price provided by Nasdaq, usually as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time each business day. Equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange or system are valued at the last sales price in the over-the-counter market. If there is no trading in an investment on a business day, the investment will be valued at the mean between its closing bid and asked prices on the exchange or system on which the security is principally traded. Short-and long-term debt securities, including U.S. government and agency securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income securities and unlisted securities, are generally valued at the latest price furnished by an independent pricing service. Gold and silver bullion are valued at the closing spot settlement price on the New York Commodity Exchange. Gold and silver coins are valued at the price furnished by an independent pricing service. Deposits of Swiss francs and Swiss government bonds will be valued each business day at prices (converted

into U.S. dollars) quoted by an independent pricing service. Foreign securities traded on an exchange are valued on the basis of market quotations most recently available from that exchange. All investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Investments for which bona fide market quotations are not readily available, or investments for which the Fund’s investment adviser determines that a quotation or a price for a portfolio security provided by a dealer or an independent pricing service is not believed to be reflective of market value, are valued by the Valuation Committee of the Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to fair value procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The Fund’s investment adviser has been designated as the Fund’s valuation designee, effective September 8, 2022, with responsibility for fair valuation, subject to oversight by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value 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, a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during a reporting period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
The Fund’s Level 1 valuation techniques use unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for assets or liabilities with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information as the most reliable evidence of fair value.
Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
The Fund’s Level 2 valuation techniques include inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, in which there are few transactions, where prices may not be current, or where price quotations vary substantially over time or among market participants. Inputs that are observable for an asset or liability in Level 2 include such factors as interest rates, yield curves, foreign exchange rates, put or call provisions, credit risk and default rates for similar assets or liabilities.
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The Fund’s Level 3 valuation techniques include the use of unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions market participants may use or could be expected to use in pricing an asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, and are developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. In developing unobservable inputs, market participant assumptions are used if they are reasonably available without undue cost and effort.
The Fund may record changes to valuations based on the amount that it might reasonably be expected to receive for an investment upon its current sale, consistent with the fair value measurement objective. Each determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors,

which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to: (i) type of the investment; (ii) existence of any contractual restrictions on the investment’s disposition; (iii) price and extent of public trading in similar investments or of comparable investments; (iv) quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; (v) information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities); (vi) analysis of an issuer’s financial statements; (vii) evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the investment is purchased and sold; and (viii) with respect to debt securities, maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, spread, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value determined upon sale of those investments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of July 31, 2024 in valuing the Fund’s assets:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of a reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1 and 2 during the six months ended July 31, 2024. The Fund’s Permanent Portfolio, Short-Term Treasury Portfolio, Versatile Bond Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio held no Level 3 assets during the six months then ended.
As of July 31, 2024 and during the six months then ended, the Fund did not hold any derivative instruments, nor did it engage in any hedging activities using derivative instruments.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
Amounts denominated in or expected to settle in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate of exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Fund separately reports the portions of the results of operations attributable to the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on the value of investments. Reported net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions arise from sales of foreign currencies, foreign currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books versus the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains or losses arise from changes in the exchange rate applicable to cash, receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the date of purchase, sale or maturity. Interest income is accrued daily and includes amortization of any premiums or discounts for financial and tax reporting purposes using the effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (REITs) may be classified as dividends, capital gains or returns of capital. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments are recorded on an identified cost basis for financial and tax reporting purposes.
During the six months ended July 31, 2024, investment income was earned as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Federal Taxes
Each of the Fund’s Portfolios will continue to be treated as a separate regulated investment company and each Portfolio intends to qualify under Subchapter M of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). Accordingly, no provision has been made for United States income taxes, as each Portfolio intends to declare necessary dividend distributions from investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders prior to October 15, 2024, pursuant to the requirements of the Code.
As of January 31, 2024, the Fund’s Permanent Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio had no capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized gains, if any, while the Fund’s Short-Term Treasury Portfolio had $17,228 of short-term capital loss carryforwards and $32,098 of long-term capital loss carryforwards, and the Fund’s Versatile Bond Portfolio had $761,335 of short-term capital loss carryforwards and $1,576,623 of long-term capital loss carryforwards available, respectively, to offset future realized gains, if any. Additionally, net capital losses attributable to investment transactions that occur after October 31 and ordinary losses that occur after December 31 (“Post-October” and “Late-Year Ordinary” losses, respectively), if any, are recognized for federal tax purposes as arising on February 1, the first day of each Portfolio’s next taxable year. The Fund’s Short-Term Treasury Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio had no Post-October losses or Late-Year Ordinary losses, while its Permanent Portfolio and Versatile Bond Portfolio had $13,435,745 and $735, respectively, of Post-October losses.
During the six months ended July 31, 2024, the Fund’s Permanent Portfolio, Short-Term Treasury Portfolio, Versatile Bond Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio incurred no federal excise tax.
The Fund’s Portfolios recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Fund’s Portfolios have analyzed their respective tax positions and have concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on tax returns previously filed for open tax years 2021 through 2023 or expected to be taken on the Fund’s Portfolios’ 2024 tax returns. The Fund’s Portfolios are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
Equalization
The Fund follows the accounting practice of equalization, by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and a portion of the costs of redemptions of shares of capital stock are allocated to undistributed net investment income. The effect of this practice is to prevent the calculation of net investment income per share from being affected by sales or redemptions of shares in each Portfolio, and for periods of net issuances of shares, allows undistributed net investment income to exceed distributable investment company taxable income.

Indemnifications
The Fund indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties for the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which may provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves future claims that may be made against the Fund under circumstances that have not occurred.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Dividends to shareholders from net investment income and distributions to shareholders from net realized gain on investments, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of such dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with the Code, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences result primarily from different treatment of net investment income and net realized gains on certain investment securities held by the Fund’s Portfolios. During the year ended January 31, 2024: (i) the Fund’s Permanent Portfolio reclassified $1,717,454 from total distributable earnings to undistributed capital gains and $2,099,810 from total distributable earnings to paid-in capital; (ii) the Fund’s Short-Term Treasury Portfolio reclassified $12,172 from total distributable earnings to paid-in capital; (iii) the Fund’s Versatile Bond Portfolio reclassified $398,357 from total distributable earnings to paid-in capital; and (iv) the Fund’s Aggressive Growth Portfolio reclassified $340 from undistributed capital gains to paid-in capital and $23,502 from total distributable earnings to paid-in capital, to reflect such book and tax basis differences.
As of January 31, 2024, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Permanent Portfolio® | | | Short-Term Treasury Portfolio | | | Versatile Bond Portfolio | | | Aggressive Growth Portfolio | |

The Fund has evaluated the impact of subsequent events on its Portfolios and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund continues to evaluate the effect on its investments and operations of various evolving matters regarding the economy, financial system and markets arising from monetary and fiscal policies designed to mitigate inflationary or deflationary pressures, geopolitical risks, including the Russian-Ukraine and Israeli-Hamas conflicts, and ongoing disruption of the flow of goods and services, including food, energy and other commodities, potential sanctions, counter-sanctions, and other government mandated restrictions, that may be applied to the Fund’s Portfolios and activities. The Fund’s financial statements do not contain any adjustments relating to these uncertainties, and their ultimate impact on the Fund, its investments and operations are not readily determinable at this time.
