LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS December 31, 2016
Â
These Are Remarkable Times
Â
I don’t know if I can recall a year quite like 2016. It was a year full of surprises at home and abroad; from the financial markets to the Fed, Brexit to the U.S. presidential election. These are remarkable times.
Â
When I looked at the year from start to finish, it seemed to play out like a Jekyll and Hyde story. The year began with concerns over the slowdown in China, which had a big impact on the global economy. After the first week of trading in 2016, the market had its worst ever start with the S&P falling -4.9%. Unfortunately, this trend continued and from December 31, 2015 to February 11, 2016, the S&P 500 Index had fell by more than 10%. Then oil prices began to stabilize and the stock market rebounded to finish the first quarter in positive territory. That was the first time since 1933 that the market was down by more than 10% in the middle of a quarter only to finish the period with a positive gain.
Â
The stock market continued an upward trajectory into the summer. Then came more disruption. The British citizens made the historic decision to leave the European Union. That vote, commonly referred to as “Brexit,” reverberated around the world, causing global stock markets to sell off and the British pound to sink to a 31-year low. Once world markets had a chance to determine the longer-term impact of Brexit, the U.S. stock market began to rise, climbing to over 8% just one month after the Brexit vote.
Â
As we moved into the fall, the stock market took a prolonged pause in the days leading up to the election. The market declined for nine straight days, which was the first time since 1980 that the stock market saw such a stretch of consecutive down days. From the election on November 8 through the end of the year, the stock market rallied based on the President-elect’s proposals for jobs growth, improving the nation’s infrastructure, and tax reform. The S&P 500 Index rose 4.6% from Election Day through December 31, 2016. Not even the Fed’s decision to raise interest rates in December slowed the market down.
Â
We’ve said many times that we believe that there’s more room to run in this current secular bull market. With a new administration about to take office in Washington, D.C., we will need to wait and see how quickly some of the President-elect’s proposals can be enacted, and how U.S. and global markets will respond.
Â
Performance Spotlight
Â
During the year, our team continued to adhere to the disciplined, time-tested, model-driven investment process that has helped us deliver competitive performance over the long term.
Â
The Meeder Muirfield Fund received a 4-Star Overall Morningstar Rating as of December 31, 2016 out of 251 Tactical Allocation funds in the category. As a tactical allocation fund with the ability to go defensive during volatile periods, the Muirfield Fund was ranked by Morningstar in the top 16% of its category for the 3-year period, top 1% for the 5-year period, and top 22% for the 10-year period.
Â
Our mid-cap value fund, the Meeder Quantex Fund, also performed well, receiving a Morningstar Ranking in the top 6% of its Mid-Cap Value category for the 1-year period and the top 22% for the 5 and 10-year periods.
Â
Expect the Unexpected
Â
If there’s a lesson to be gleaned from 2016, it’s to expect the unexpected. I’ve said before that market uncertainty is typical. As the New Year begins, it’s important to review your investment portfolio to ensure that it’s properly diversified and designed to help you meet your investment objectives.
Â
As always, our investment team will continue to apply our disciplined investment process across all of our funds and portfolios. We are singularly focused on providing solutions that can help you improve your investment outcomes. Please review the following pages to learn more about the Meeder Funds’ positioning and performance for the year 2016.

On behalf of the entire team at Meeder Investment Management, we thank you for your continued support, trust and confidence in our investment management services.

Muirfield Fund
Â
The Meeder Muirfield Fund retail class returned 5.72% compared to the blended benchmark of 7.28% and the S&P 500 Index return of 11.96%. We started 2016 with a 60% invested exposure and 40% defensive position. Our models continued to deteriorate and we increased our defensive position to as high as 55% at the end of January. As the quarter progressed, our models showed significant signs of improvement in trend and breadth indicators. By the end of the second quarter we became essentially fully invested and eliminated our defensive position. We were fully invested until mid-fourth quarter when our models started to deteriorate due to sentiment factors after the U.S. Presidential election. It is important to note that Meeder views sentiment as a contrarian factor, so when there appears to be a heightening optimism or euphoria present in the marketplace, our models will show signs of deterioration. At that time we increased our defensive position as high as 25% before gradually reducing it down to near 10% as of the end of 2016.
Â
With the exception of late in the first quarter, we held a tactical position in international securities until the end of 2016. In the wake of the U.S. election results, momentum and currency factors in our international model evolved to favor domestic exposure, and as a result we eliminated our tactical international exposure at the end of November. Overall, our international exposure detracted from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. For the year ending 2016, the top contributors to the portfolio’s return were Fifth Third Bank and Bank of America. An underweight to the pharmaceutical company Allergan helped boost performance relative to the benchmark. The greatest detractors to the portfolio were under weightings to specific securities that performed well in the financial sector which included Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and Citigroup.
In the portfolio, we will often use equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures, to efficiently equitize our cash positions as well as manage the equity exposure of the Fund. In regard to equitizing cash positions, these derivatives are designed to track their respective stock index, so there was no discernible impact to the Fund’s relative performance. The use of stock index futures to manage the equity exposure of the Fund had a negative impact on the performance of the Fund relative to the S&P 500 Index during 2016.

Growth of $10,000: 12/31/06 - 12/31/16
Â
Â
The Growth of $10,000 chart compares the value of the Muirfield Fund to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund’s broad-based benchmark, and to the Blended Index which is composed of 60% of the S&P 500 Index and 40% of 90-day T-bills. The chart is intended to give you a general idea of how the Fund performed compared to these benchmarks over the period from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2016. An understanding of the differences between the Fund and these benchmarks is important. The benchmark indices are hypothetical unmanaged indices of common stocks and 90-day T-bills that do not take into account the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and accounting fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.
Â
The chart and the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The performance data shown represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.
Â
Effective October 31, 2016, the Fund offered retail, adviser, and institutional share classes. Period and average annual total returns, expense ratios, and the growth of $10,000 chart only include the retail class of shares. For additional information regarding multiple classes of shares, see Note #1 in the Notes to Financial Statements.
Â
Management fees and/or expenses were voluntarily waived and/or reimbursed in order to reduce the operating expenses of the Muirfield Fund during certain periods shown above. + The Audited Net Expense Ratio is based on average daily net assets and reflects actual expenses of the Fund paid over the one year period ended 12/31/16, including the effect of expense waivers and reimbursements. This ratio may increase or decrease depending on fluctuations in Fund net assets. The Gross Expense Ratio is a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets, including acquired fund fees and expenses, as shown in the most current Fund Prospectus.

Dynamic Growth Fund
Â
The Dynamic Growth Fund retail class returned 5.37% for the year ending December 31, 2016 compared to the S&P 500 Index return of 11.96%. From a sector standpoint, we maintained a modest underweight to energy which hurt performance as oil prices hit a low of $26 a barrel in February before finishing the year nearly at over $52 a barrel. The largest individual contributors to performance in 2016 were an underweight to Allergan whose stock fell, while NVIDIA and Bank of America had positive performance. Some of the most significant detractors were Teekay Tankers Ltd., and an underweight in Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs relative to the benchmark.
Â
With the exception of late in the first quarter, we held a tactical position in international securities until the end of 2016. In the wake of the U.S. election results, momentum and currency factors in our international model evolved to favor domestic exposure, and as a result we eliminated our tactical international exposure at the end of November.

Aggressive Growth Fund
Â
The Aggressive Growth Fund retail class returned 8.26% compared to the S&P 500 Index return of 11.96% for the year ending December 31, 2016. For the first three quarters of the year the Aggressive Growth Fund was managed as a Tactical Multi-Cap fund and its benchmark was the S&P 500 Index. During this time the Fund returned 2.92% compared to the S&P 500 Index return of 7.84%. On September 30th, 2016 the objective of the Fund changed from the style of large cap blend, to being a small cap blend strategy. Consequently, the benchmark also changed to the Russell 2500 Index. For the fourth quarter of 2016, the Aggressive Growth Fund was able to participate in the broad based rally of small and mid-cap companies and posted a return of 5.19% relative to the Russell 2500 Index return of 6.12% including dividends.
The top performers for the fourth quarter of the year were Steel Dynamics, TCF Financial Corporation, and Hancock Holding Company. The largest detractors from performance were Nu Skin Enterprises, Herbalife, and Tupperware Brands.
With the exception of late in the first quarter, we held a tactical position in international securities until the end of 2016. In the wake of the U.S. election results, momentum and currency factors in our international model evolved to favor domestic exposure, and as a result we eliminated our tactical international exposure at the end of November.

Balanced Fund
Â
The Meeder Balanced Fund retail class returned 4.84% for the year ending December 31, 2016 when compared to the Blended Index return of 5.94% and the S&P 500 Index return of 11.96%. The Fund maintains exposure to both equity and fixed income. In the equity portion of the portfolio, the Fund started 2016 with a 60% invested exposure and 40% defensive position. Our models continued to deteriorate and we increased our defensive position to as high as 55% at the end of January. Our models then showed significant signs of improvement in trend and breadth indicators. By the end of the second quarter we became essentially fully invested and eliminated our defensive position. We were fully invested until mid-fourth quarter when our models started to deteriorate due to sentiment factors after the U.S. Presidential election. At that time we increased our defensive position as high as 25% before gradually reducing it down to near 10% as of the end of 2016. With the exception of late in the first quarter, we held a tactical position in international securities until the end of 2016. In the wake of the U.S. election results, momentum and currency factors in our international model evolved to favor domestic exposure, and as a result we eliminated our tactical international exposure at the end of November. Overall, our international exposure detracted from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. For the year ending 2016, in the equity portion of the portfolio the top contributors to the portfolio’s return were Fifth Third Bank, Bank of America, and an underweight to the pharmaceutical company Allergan which fell. The greatest detractors to the portfolio were under weightings relative to the benchmark names in the financial sector which included Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo and Citigroup.
In the fixed income portion of the portfolio, early in first quarter there were concerns about the slowing of the Chinese economy. This caused investors to flock to the safety of U.S. Treasuries. As oil prices stabilized, breadth improved in the market place. At the end of June, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, also known as Brexit. Prior to this, our credit model favored risk-off sectors. As a result we positioned the Fund to be more defensive by increasing our allocations to U.S. Treasuries and the portfolio benefitted from this tactical shift.
In the second half of the year, markets showed resilience. Less than two weeks into the third quarter markets rose above pre-Brexit levels, and our models identified improvement in risk-on sectors due to short-term momentum and spread factors. We implemented this view by allocating our below-investment-grade bonds above 7% and 8% to emerging market debt. Our duration model continued to favor holding longer-dated U.S. treasuries. Early in November, we saw signs of deterioration in our fixed income Emerging Market model, as it started to favor domestic positions. By the end of the year, we gradually reduced our holdings in emerging market debt to approximately 5%. This reduction was reallocated to investment-grade securities which totaled 62% by the end of 2016, while below investment-grade holdings remained consistent near 16%.
In the portfolio, we will often use equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures, to efficiently equitize our cash positions as well as manage the equity exposure of the fund. In regard to equitizing cash positions, these derivatives are designed to track their respective stock index, so there was no discernible impact to the Fund’s relative performance.

The Growth of $10,000 chart compares the Balanced Fund’s value to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund’s broad-based benchmark, and to the Blended Index which is comprised of 42% of the S&P 500 Index, 28% of the average 90-day U.S. Treasury bill and 30% of the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index. The chart is intended to give you a general idea of how the Fund performed compared to these benchmarks over the period from December 31, 2006 through December 31, 2016. An understanding of the differences between the Fund and these indices is important. The benchmark indices are hypothetical unmanaged indices of common stock that do not take into account the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and accounting fees. One cannot invest directly in an index.
The chart and the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The performance data shown represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

Global Opportunities Fund
The Global Opportunities Fund pursues its objective by investing in a targeted allocation of U.S., international, and emerging market investments as well as real estate and commodity based equities. Securities are selected utilizing highly quantitative investment models in an attempt to outperform in each asset class. The Global Opportunities Fund is fully invested in the equity market at all times and holds a target allocation across different investment allocation categories. The target allocations for the Fund are: 40-55% international, 20-25% domestic large-cap holdings, 10-15% domestic mid-cap holdings, 5-10% domestic small cap holdings, 5-10% real estate holdings, and 5-10% commodities holdings. These are target investment allocations and therefore could differ from the actual holdings of the fund.
The Fund’s retail class performance for 2016 was up 3.54% compared to its blended benchmark of 9.58% and the S&P 500 Index of 11.96%. The blended benchmark is comprised of 34% of the MSCI EAFE Index, 22% of the S&P 500 Index, 12% of the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index, 11% of the MSCI Emerging Market Index, 7% of the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index, 7% of the Russell 2000 Index, and 7% of the S&P GSCI Index. The Fund’s performance in 2016 was hampered by its exposure to developed international securities. The MSCI EAFE Index’s 2016 return was just 1.00% while equities as represented by the S&P 500 Index were up 11.96%. The Fund’s 17% allocation to emerging markets was positive 11.19% as represented by the MSCI EM Index. The Fund received strong performance from mid and small-caps as represented by the S&P Mid-Cap 400 and Russell 2000 indexes with returns of 20.74% and 20.78% respectively.
With the exception of late in the first quarter, we held a tactical position in international securities until the end of 2016. In the wake of the U.S. election results, momentum and currency factors in our international model evolved to favor domestic exposure, and as a result we eliminated our tactical international exposure at the end of November. Overall, our international exposure detracted from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index.
The holdings in the Fund that were the largest contributors to performance were Computer Sciences Corp., an overweight to NVIDIA and Steel Dynamics. The largest detractors to the Fund were Teekay Tankers Ltd., Bank of America and Iron Mountain.
We utilized equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures to equitize cash positions. Since these derivatives are designed to track a respective stock index, there was no discernable impact to the Fund’s relative performance in 2016.

Spectrum Fund
Â
The Meeder Spectrum Fund retail class returned 6.97% compared to the blended benchmark of 7.28% and the S&P 500 Index return of 11.96%. We started 2016 with a 60% invested exposure and 40% defensive position. Our models continued to deteriorate and we increased our defensive position to as high as 55% at the end of January. As the quarter progressed, our models showed significant signs of improvement in trend and breadth indicators. By the end of the second quarter we became essentially fully invested and eliminated our defensive position. We were fully invested until mid-fourth quarter when our models started to deteriorate due to sentiment factors after the U.S. Presidential election. It is important to note that Meeder views sentiment as a contrarian factor, so when there appears to be a heightening optimism or euphoria present in the marketplace, our models will show signs of deterioration. At that time we increased our defensive position as high as 25% before gradually reducing it down to near 10% as of the end of 2016.
Three holdings that were some of the contributors to performance were Computer Sciences, Hewlett Packard and a short position in Celldex Therapeutics. The top detractors were Anacor Pharmaceuticals, Memorial Resource Corporation and a short position to Continental Resources which ended the year in positive territory.
With the exception of late in the first quarter, we held a tactical position in international securities until the end of 2016. In the wake of the U.S. election results, momentum and currency factors in our international model evolved to favor domestic exposure, and as a result we eliminated our tactical international exposure at the end of November. Overall, our international exposure detracted from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index.
In the portfolio, we will often use equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures, to efficiently equitize our cash positions as well as manage the equity exposure of the fund. In regard to equitizing cash positions, these derivatives are designed to track their respective stock index, so there was no discernible impact to the Fund’s relative performance. The use of stock index futures to manage the equity exposure of the fund had a negative impact on the performance of the fund relative to the S&P 500 Index during 2016.

Infrastructure Fund
The Meeder Infrastructure Fund retail class was positive 19.87% for the year ending December 31, 2016, relative to the Russell 3000 Utilities Index return of 20.49%. Infrastructure was a topic of many headlines in 2016 as both U.S. Presidential candidates proposed massive spending packages to overhaul the country’s aging grid in the coming years.
Early in 2016 energy prices plummeted yet we saw strength in natural gas stocks. We remained committed to our energy stocks as oil prices rebounded. At the end of June, Brexit fears caused a temporary dislocation in many companies domiciled in the United Kingdom. We took advantage of this by increasing exposure in companies that provide basic resources like water, electricity, and telecom services. Individual stock selection contributed to the Fund’s performance in 2016. The holdings that were the largest contributors in the portfolio were Targa Resources Corp., MDU Resource Group and Spectra Energy. The top detractors from performance include Energy Transfer Equity, National Grid and Veolia Environnement.
Effective September 15, 2016, Miller/Howard Investment, Inc. resigned as subadvisor of the Miller/Howard Infrastructure Fund and the Fund was renamed Meeder Infrastructure Fund. While the Meeder Investment Team has always been the advisor on the Fund, they have taken over the day-to-day management of the Infrastructure Fund with the same investment objective.
We utilized equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures to equitize cash positions. Since these derivatives are designed to track a respective stock index, there was no discernable impact to the Fund’s relative performance in 2016.

With the exception of late in the first quarter, we held a tactical position in international securities until the end of 2016. In the wake of the U.S. election results, momentum and currency factors in our international model evolved to favor domestic exposure, and as a result we eliminated our tactical international exposure at the end of November. Overall, our international exposure detracted from performance relative to the S&P 500 Index.
We utilized equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures to equitize cash positions. Since these derivatives are designed to track a respective stock index, there was no discernable impact to the Fund’s relative performance in 2016.

Total Return Bond Fund
The Meeder Total Return Bond Fund retail class rose 4.49% in 2016. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclay’s U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.65%. The past year contained a number of unexpected turns and twists. As the year began, the Fed initially projected that they might implement as many as four increases in the federal funds overnight lending rate. An unexpected slowdown in China’s economy increased market volatility and oil dropped to just $26 a barrel. Several European countries implemented negative interest rates to try and stimulate demand for risk assets. This caused investors to flock to the safety of U.S. Treasuries. As oil prices stabilized, breadth improved in the market place. At the end of June, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, also known as Brexit. Prior to this, our credit model favored risk-off sectors. As a result we positioned the fund to be more defensive by increasing our allocations to U.S. Treasuries and the portfolio benefitted from this tactical shift.
In the second half of the year, markets showed resilience. Less than two weeks into the third quarter markets rose above pre-Brexit levels, and our models identified improvement in risk-on sectors due to short-term momentum and spread factors. We implemented this view by increasing our below-investment-grade bonds above 30% and allocating 17% to Emerging Market debt. Our duration model continued to favor holding longer-dated U.S. Treasuries. Early in November, we saw signs of deterioration in our fixed income Emerging Market model, as it started to favor domestic positions. By the end of the year, we gradually reduced our holdings in Emerging Market debt to approximately 10%. This reduction was reallocated to investment-grade securities which totaled 46% by the end of 2016, while below investment-grade holdings remained consistent near 32%. The remaining 12% was allocated among U.S. Treasuries. The U.S. Dollar reached its highest level since 2003 during the fourth quarter. The Fed pulled the trigger in what was a highly anticipated and widely expected move of raising the overnight lending rate by 0.25% to the range of 0.50% - 0.75%. It was only the second time that the Federal Open Market Committee has increased the overnight lending rate since June 2006.
While the future always brings a level of uncertainty, we anticipate that the Federal Reserve and the new U.S. Presidential administration will provide many news headlines in 2017. Regardless of what occurs, know that we will continue to follow our time-tested models and apply our disciplined investment process to the management of our investment portfolios.

Prime Money Market Fund
Â
The Money Market Fund industry went through a few rigorous but exciting changes in 2016. Over the last couple of years the industry has been hard at work retooling in the face of new regulatory requirements introduced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2014. The final compliance date was in October 2016. The new rules were added in order to supplement the objective of safety among money market funds. In addition to changes in the industry, Meeder took the opportunity to bolster its money market lineup. As of October 2016, Meeder began offering two separate money market fund products. The Meeder Prime Money Market Fund, like its predecessor, is a constant net asset value (CNAV) fund offered only to natural persons. The objective of this fund is to maintain a CNAV at $1.00 per share.
Â
Beyond regulatory reform, the Fund enjoyed the presence of elevated yields across investment offerings. This was brought about in late 2015 when the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) initially raised its target short-term interest rate by 25 basis points. This was the first increase in several years which was welcomed by the industry after years of near zero yield investment options. In 2016, the talk of elevating the target rate even higher gave our managers the ability to bring additional value to the portfolios. In December, the FOMC responded with a second interest rate increase signaling comfort with improving growth prospects of the U.S. economy. In addition to its action, the FOMC alluded to further action if conditions continue to improve. This again provided our managers with an environment ample with opportunities to add value to the portfolio.
Â
Despite the change in monetary policy, there was not a significant change with the Fund’s investment strategy. Historically, the Fund has maintained ample liquidity in an effort to provide safety first. The liquidity has also been a solid tool for taking advantage of investment opportunities when they arise. With elevated interest rates throughout 2016, the portfolio management team was afforded an expanded array of investment options with which to add value for shareholders.
Â
During the year the portfolio management team targeted a stable weighted average maturity. At this time we believe the FOMC is potentially pushing ahead with more interest rate increases. However, we anticipate the path and timeline to be more drawn out versus historical interest rate cycles. Our sector allocation favored an overweight in high-quality liquid investments. Although with the boost in interest rates, opportunities were abundant to replenish our position in short-term investment grade corporate debt without adding undo risk.
Â
As we completed 2016, our belief was that the Fund should be positioned to maintain strong performance into 2017. In the event additional interest rate increases are triggered by the FOMC, we believe the portfolio is positioned to perform in this environment. As we continuously monitor the markets and our strategy, we will remain vigilant and act in the best interests of our shareholders.

Shareholder Expense Analysis (Unaudited)
Â
Shareholders of mutual funds pay ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, distribution and service fees (12b-1 fees) and other fund expenses. The following examples are 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.
Â
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six-month period from June 30, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
Â
ACTUAL EXPENSES: You may use actual account values and actual expenses, along with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your 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 line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Â
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES: Hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses are based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assume rates 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 you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds to 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 tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if any transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
Â
1 | Expenses are equal to the Funds’ annualized expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period by 184/366 (to reflect the total number of days in the six-month period). |
2 | Does not include the effects of acquired fund fees and expenses. |

Disclosures
Â
Meeder Funds
Investment performance assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. Returns for less than one year are not annualized. Performance data reflects contractual and voluntary fee waivers, without which performance would have been lower. For the Quantex Fund, the adviser has agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses until October 15, 2017. The agreement may be terminated annually by the adviser on its renewal date. For additional information, refer to the current prospectus.
Â
Meeder Money Market Funds
You could lose money by investing in the Meeder Money Market Funds. Although the Prime Money Market Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee to do so. The Funds may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Funds’ liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in either Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Funds’ sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Funds, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Funds at any time.
Â
The 7-day Current Yield is the current annualized net yield of the fund if dividends are not reinvested. Current Yield reflects any applicable fee waivers or expense reimbursements. Without such waivers, the yield would have been lower. The 7-day Current Yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the fund than total return.

1. | Organization and Significant Accounting Policies |
Â
Meeder Funds® (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on December 31, 1991 as the successor to a Pennsylvania business trust organized on April 30, 1982 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust offers twelve separate series and is presently comprised of twelve separate funds as follows: Muirfield Fund® (“Muirfield”), Dynamic Growth Fund (“Dynamic”), Aggressive Growth Fund (“Aggressive”), Balanced Fund (“Balanced”), Global Opportunities Fund (“Global”), Spectrum Fund (“Spectrum”), Dividend Opportunities Fund (“Dividend”), Quantex FundTM (“Quantex”), Infrastructure Fund (“Infrastructure”)(f.k.a. Miller/Howard Infrastructure Fund)( see sixth paragraph of Note #1 for more information), Total Return Bond Fund (“Bond”), Prime Money Market Fund (“Prime Money Market”)(f.k.a. Money Market Fund)( see second paragraph of Note #1 for more information), and Institutional Prime Money Market Fund (“Institutional Prime Money Market”)(see second paragraph of Note #1 for more information)(each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”).
Â
In July 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new money market fund rules that became effective on October 14, 2016. As part of these new rules, beneficial ownership of retail money market funds are now limited to natural persons; therefore, institutions are no longer permitted to own retail money market fund shares. As a result, effective October 7, 2016, the Meeder Money Market Fund became a retail money market fund with a stable net asset value per share of $1.00 and changed its name to Meeder Prime Money Market Fund. The Institutional Class of the Meeder Money Market Fund liquidated. Also effective October 7, 2016, an institutional money market fund was launched called Meeder Institutional Prime Money Market Fund with a floating net asset value per share. On October 7, 2016, investments in the amount of $131,014,084 were transferred in-kind from the Meeder Prime Money Market Fund into the Meeder Institutional Prime Money Market Fund. Organizational and offering costs of the Meeder Institutional Prime Money Market Fund were incurred by the advisor and are not subject to recoupment. For more information on these money market funds, please refer to each Fund’s prospectus.
Â
The investment objective of Prime Money Market is to provide current income while maintaining a stable share price of $1.00. The investment objective of Institutional Prime Money Market is to provide current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital. Prime Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market (the “Money Market Funds”) each offer only one class of shares.
Â
Prior to October 31, 2016, each Fund, other than Infrastructure and the Money Market Funds, offered one class of shares. Infrastructure offered two classes: Retail Class and Institutional Class. Effective October 31, 2016, the Funds, except for Infrastructure and the Money Market Funds, designated their single class of shares as Retail Class. Each of those Funds also launched Adviser Shares and Institutional Shares. Also on October 31, 2016, Infrastructure launched Adviser Shares. Each class of shares has equal rights as to earnings and assets, except that each class bears different distribution, shareholder servicing, and transfer agent expenses (see Note #4).
Â
The investment objective of Muirfield, Dynamic, Aggressive, Global, Spectrum, and Quantex is to provide long term capital appreciation. The investment objective of Balanced is to provide income and long term capital appreciation. The investment objective of Dividend and Infrastructure is to provide total return, including capital appreciation and income. The investment objective of Bond is total return, consisting of income and capital growth, consistent with minimizing the risk of loss of capital.
Â
Effective September 15, 2016, Miller/Howard Investments, Inc. resigned as subadviser to Infrastructure. As a result, Miller/Howard Infrastructure Fund changed its name to Infrastructure Fund. The Fund will continue to generally invest at least 80% of its net assets in infrastructure companies, and may invest up to 25% of its total assets in securities of master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) in the energy sector. The Fund will also continue to invest at least 25% of its total assets in securities of public utility companies.
Â
Use of estimates. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Â
Security valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note #2.
Â
Repurchase agreements. Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions whereby the Fund takes possession of an underlying debt instrument subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase the instrument from the Fund and an obligation of the Fund to resell the instrument at an agreed upon price and term. At all times, the Fund maintains the fair value of collateral, including accrued interest, of at least 100% of the amount of the repurchase agreement, plus accrued interest. If the seller defaults or the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
Â
Short sales. Spectrum may enter into short sales as part of its overall portfolio management strategy or to offset a potential decline in value of a security. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to various types of securities, including ETFs. A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns, as well as securities that it does not own. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund’s investment performance may also suffer if the Fund is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. The Fund must segregate assets determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures established by the Board, or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner. The Fund will be required to pledge its liquid assets to the broker in order to secure its performance on short sales. As a result, the assets pledged may not be available to meet the Fund’s needs for immediate cash or other liquidity. In addition, the Fund may be subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the Fund’s open short positions. These types of short sales expenses are sometimes referred to as the “negative cost of carry,” and will tend to cause the Fund to lose money on a short sale even in instances where the price of the underlying security sold short does not change over the duration of the short sale. Dividend expenses on securities sold short and borrowing costs will be borne by the Fund.
Â
Page 90 | 2016 Annual Report | December 31, 2016 |
Futures & options. Each Fund, except the Money Market Funds, may engage in transactions in financial futures contracts and options contracts in order to manage the risk of unanticipated changes in market values of securities held in the Fund, or which it intends to purchase. The futures and options contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency, or index, and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses in the statement of assets and liabilities and the statement of operations until the contract settlement date, at which time realized gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.
Â
To the extent that the Fund enters into futures contracts on an index or group of securities, the Fund exposes itself to an indeterminate liability and will be required to pay or receive a sum of money measured by the change in the fair value of the index. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit an initial margin, which is either cash or securities (disclosed as pledged as collateral on the Schedules of Investments) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequently, margin movements, which are equal to changes in the daily price or last sale price on the exchanges where futures contracts trade, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contract is closed. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged assets. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Except for the Money Market Funds, it is normal practice for each Fund to invest in futures contracts on a daily basis. The Funds, except for Bond and the Money Market Funds, typically utilize equity index futures contracts to equitize cash positions or adjust targeted stock market exposure. Bond and the fixed income portion of Balanced can utilize Treasury futures contracts in order to adjust duration.
Â
Call and put option contracts involve the payment of a premium for the right to purchase or sell an individual security or index aggregate at a specified price until the expiration of the contract. Such transactions expose the Fund to the loss of the premium paid if the Fund does not sell or exercise the contract prior to the expiration date. In the case of a call option, sufficient cash or money market instruments will be segregated to complete the purchase. Options are fair valued on the basis of the daily settlement price or last sale on the exchanges where they trade and the changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until closed, exercised or expired. For the period ended December 31, 2016, there were no call or put options transacted for any of the Funds.
Â
The Funds may write covered call or put options for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. When written options are closed or exercised, premiums received are offset against the proceeds paid, and the Fund records realized gains or losses for the difference. When written options expire, the liability is eliminated, and the Fund records realized gains for the entire amount of premiums received. Although permitted, it is currently not normal practice for the Funds to write call and put options and none were written during the period ended December 31, 2016.

Federal income taxes. It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds recognize the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2016) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and certain State tax authorities; however the Funds 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. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations as incurred. During the period ended December 31, 2016, Infrastructure incurred excise tax expense in the amount of $1,732.
Â
Distributions to shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Muirfield, Quantex, Dynamic, Aggressive, Balanced, Global, and Spectrum declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, on a quarterly basis. Infrastructure, Dividend, and Bond declare and pay dividends from net investment income on a monthly basis. The Money Market Funds declare dividends from net investment income on a daily basis and pay such dividends on a monthly basis. Each Fund distributes net capital gains, if any, on an annual basis.
Â
Distributions from net investment income and from net capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to net operating losses and partnership basis adjustments. Accordingly, timing differences relating to shareholder distributions are reflected in the components of net assets and permanent book and tax differences have been reclassified within the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.

Other. The Funds record security transactions on the trade date. Gains and losses realized from the sale of securities are determined on the specific identification basis. Dividend income and dividend expenses are recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recognized as earned. Short-term capital gain distributions from underlying funds are classified as dividend income for financial reporting purposes. Long-term capital gains distributions are separately stated. Discounts and premiums are amortized using the effective yield over the lives of the respective securities. Distributions received from partnerships are recorded as return of capital distributions. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have 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.
Â
Page 96 | 2016 Annual Report | December 31, 2016 |
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ 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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.
Â
Equity securities (including publicly traded partnerships, real estate investment trusts, American depositary receipts, exchange traded funds, and common stock). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Â
Investments in registered open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the daily redemption value as reported by the underlying fund and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Â
Short-term notes (including bank obligations, commercial paper, corporate obligations, repurchase agreements, U.S. government agency obligations, and floating rate demand notes). Short-term notes held in the Funds, except Prime Money Market, maturing more than sixty days after the valuation date, are valued at the last sales price as of the close of business on the day of valuation, or, lacking any sales, at the most recent bid price or yield equivalent as obtained from dealers that make markets in such securities. When valued at last sales price, the securities will be categorized as level 1. When using bid prices or yield equivalents, they will be categorized as level 2. When such securities are valued within sixty days or less to maturity, the difference between the valuation existing on the sixty-first day before maturity and maturity value is amortized on a straight-line basis to maturity and will be categorized as level 2.
Â
All securities held in Prime Money Market, other than money market funds, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and will be categorized as level 2.
Â
Certificates of deposit. Certificates of deposit are valued at acquisition cost, which approximates fair value, and will be categorized as level 2.
Â
U.S. government obligations. U.S. government obligations are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. In either case, these securities will be categorized as level 2.
Â
Restricted securities (equity and debt). Restricted securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Trustees. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Â
Derivative instruments (futures contracts). Listed derivative instruments that are actively traded, including futures contracts, are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Â
For the period ended December 31, 2016, the Funds did not hold any assets at any time in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value. Therefore, no reconciliation of level 3 securities is provided. Also, there were no transfers between level 1 and level 2 securities. The Funds recognize transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period. The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2016.

Expenses were contractually reimbursed by MAM in 2013 for Muirfield, Dynamic, Aggressive, Balanced, Global and Bond in the amounts of $49,794, $40,570, $1,137, $28,346, $42,970, and $42,868, respectively. These contractual expense reimbursements were subject to repayment by the applicable Fund before December 31, 2016, contingent upon approval by the Board of Trustees and the Fund operating below the contractual expense limitation in place at the time in which the amount was reimbursed. During 2016, Muirfield repaid $49,794 to MAM, resulting in an expense ratio of 1.37% (contractual limitation was 1.39%), while Balanced repaid $28,346 to MAM, resulting in an expense ratio of 1.47% (contractual limitation was 1.49%). All other Funds’ remaining repayments have expired as of December 31, 2016.
Â
Certain Funds have entered into an agreement with the Trust’s custodian, The Huntington National Bank (“HNB”), whereby HNB receives distribution, service, and administration fees (collectively the “fees”) from holdings in other investment companies (or mutual funds, etc). The fees are remitted to the Funds, which are used to pay expenses of each Fund. The Funds may invest in security holdings in which fees are not paid. As such, the gross expenses of a Fund would not be decreased. Also, without this agreement it is likely that the Funds would not collect any fees from underlying security holdings. There were no fees received during the period ended December 31, 2016, and therefore gross expenses were not reduced.
Â
Page 102 | 2016 Annual Report | December 31, 2016 |
Certain Funds have entered into securities lending arrangements with HNB. Under the terms of the agreement, HNB is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved brokers. In exchange, under normal market conditions, the Funds receive cash collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of securities loaned. The cash collateral is invested in short term instruments as noted in the Schedules of Investments. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. In addition, the Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the investment of cash collateral received. After predetermined rebates to brokers, a percentage of the net securities lending revenue is credited to the Funds to be used as an offset against charges incurred by the Funds. HNB is paid a fee for administering the securities lending program for the Funds, equal to the remaining percentage of the net securities lending revenues generated under the agreement. As of December 31, 2016, the Funds (excluding Infrastructure, Dividend, Bond, Prime Money Market, and Institutional Prime Money Market) had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in securities as listed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. For the period ended December 31, 2016, income earned through securities lending arrangements was as follows:
Â
 |  | Amount Received to Reduce Gross Expenses |  |
Muirfield | Â | $ | 32,582 | Â |
Dynamic | Â | Â | 5,666 | Â |
Aggressive | Â | Â | 8,536 | Â |

Â
Certain Funds have entered into directed brokerage agreements with independent brokers/dealers, whereby Fund expenses are reduced. The Funds use these amounts received to reduce the gross expenses of each Fund. The Funds may invest in security holdings in which brokerage fees are not recaptured. As such, the gross expenses of a Fund would not be decreased. Also, without these agreements it is likely that the Funds would not recapture any fees from portfolio transactions. MAM received payment of or credit for advisor related expenses used for the Funds’ benefit. For the period ended December 31, 2016, commissions recaptured through directed brokerage arrangements were as follows:
Â
 |  | Amount Received to Reduce Gross Expenses |  |

The Funds have adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for the independent Trustees. Under the Plan, each eligible Trustee is permitted to defer all or a portion of the trustees fees payable by any of the Funds as an investment into any combination of Funds until a specified point of time. The investment into the Funds is recorded as an asset however an offsetting liability is also recorded for the deferred payment. Once the eligible Trustees’ deferral amounts can be distributed, a lump sum or generally equal annual installments over a period of up to ten (10) years can be made to the eligible Trustee(s). The Funds may terminate this Plan at any time.
Â
Certain trustees and officers of the Funds are also officers or directors of Meeder, MAM, and MFSCo. Legal Counsel is also an officer of the Funds.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers or counterparties were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
Â
At a meeting held September 15, 2016, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of non-interested or independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the investment advisory agreements for each of the separate funds comprising the Meeder Funds (the “Funds”)(individually, an “Agreement” and collectively, the “Agreements”).
Â
The Board reviewed materials sent to each Trustee in advance of the meeting for consideration in determining whether to approve the renewal of each Fund’s Agreements. Management reviewed with the Trustees the materials prepared by them in response to Funds’ legal counsel’s supplemental written request pursuant to Section 15(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for the provision to the Trustees of appropriately updated and amended information necessary or appropriate to assist the Trustees in their deliberations concerning renewal of the Agreements. In reaching the decision to renew the Agreements, the Board also took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings. Information furnished and discussed throughout the year included investment performance reports and related financial information for each Fund, as well as periodic reports on shareholder services, legal compliance, pricing, brokerage commissions and execution and other services provided by the investment manager, Meeder Asset Management, Inc. (“Manager”) and its affiliates. Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal process included a report for the Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Ltd. (“Broadridge”), an independent organization, as well as a Funds’ profitability analysis prepared by the Manager. The Broadridge report compared each Fund’s management fees and expenses with those of other mutual funds deemed comparable to the Fund. The Funds’ profitability analysis discussed the profitability to the Manager and Mutual Funds Service Co., an affiliate of the Manager, from the overall Funds’ operations, as well as an analysis based on the profitability resulting from the operation of each individual Fund, utilizing expense allocation methodologies deemed reasonable by the Manager.
Â
2016 Annual Report | December 31, 2016 | Page 109 |
In considering such materials, the independent Trustees noted that they had received assistance and advice from and met separately with the Funds’ legal counsel and chief compliance officer prior to this meeting. In their deliberations, the Board dealt with each Fund separately. In approving continuance of the Agreement for each Fund, the Board, including a majority of independent Trustees, considered each Fund’s Agreement, a copy of which was made available at the meeting, and determined that the existing management fee structure was fair and reasonable and that continuance of the Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.
Â
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board continues to be satisfied with the nature and quality of the overall services provided by the Manager and its affiliates to the Funds and their shareholders. In addition to investment performance and expenses discussed earlier, the Board’s opinion was based, in part, upon periodic reports furnished them showing that the investment policies and restrictions for each Fund were consistently complied with as well as other reports periodically furnished the Board. Other factors taken into account by the Board were the Manager’s compliance procedures and the qualifications of the Manager’s chief compliance officer. Consideration was also given to the experience of each Fund’s portfolio management team. The Board also took into account the transfer agent, fund accounting agent and administrative services provided to Fund shareholders by an affiliate of the Manager, noting continuing expenditures by management to increase and improve the scope of such services. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Manager have benefited and should continue to benefit each Fund and its shareholders.
Â
Investment Performance. The Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of each Fund in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings during the year, particular attention in assessing performance was given to the Broadridge reports furnished for the Agreement renewals. The Broadridge report prepared for each Fund showed the investment performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended June 30, 2016 (the “relevant periods”) in comparison with a performance universe similar to each Fund’s investment objectives.

Â
1 | Given an adequate quantity of funds, the Lipper Index for a given investment classification or objective consists of the largest ten or thirty funds in that classification or objective. Each index is calculated daily with adjustments for dividends and capital gains. |
Â
The Board noted that the investment results of each Fund compared reasonably with each index used and with the Lipper indices, recognizing that none of the indices are perfect comparisons given each Fund’s specific characteristics. The Board concluded that the Funds’ investment results have been satisfactory for renewal of the Agreements and that the Manager’s record in managing the Funds indicated that its continued management should benefit the Funds and their shareholders.

Comparative Expenses. Consideration was given to a comparative analysis of the management fees and total expense ratios of each Fund compared with those of a group of other relevant funds. The Board observed that the Funds’ advisory fees and expenses compared reasonably to those of other similar funds included in the comparable reports. The Board also considered an analysis comparing the Funds’ management fees with the fees charged by the Manager to private clients, but noted the significant investment, operational, regulatory, and market differences between advising the Funds and the private clients. The Board concluded that the Funds’ cost structures were fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided, and that the Funds’ shareholders receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Manager by the Funds.
Â
Management Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by the Manager and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Funds’ profitability analysis that addresses the overall profitability of the Meeder Funds’ business as well as the profitability resulting from the operation of each Fund. The Board also considered the extent to which the Manager and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including potential benefits resulting from allocation of fund brokerage and the use of “soft” commission dollars to pay for research. The Board also took into account management’s expenditures in improving shareholder services provided to the Funds, as well as the need to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent SEC requirements. The Board determined that the level of profits realized by the Manager under its Agreements with the Funds was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services provided. The Board took the Manager’s profitability and ancillary benefits into account in evaluating the reasonableness of the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Manager by the Funds.
Â
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale are realized by the Manager as the Funds grow larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of management fees charged. While recognizing that any precise determination is inherently subjective, the Board noted that based upon the Funds’ profitability analysis, it appears that as some Funds get larger, at some point economies of scale do result in the Manager realizing a larger profit margin on management services provided to such a Fund. The Board also noted that economies of scale are shared with each Fund and its shareholders through management fee breakpoints so that as a Fund grows in size, its effective management fee rate declines. Further, the Board noted that investments in the Fund business made by Meeder, and the resulting improvements in Fund operations and shareholder services, was an additional way in which any potential economies of scale were shared with each Fund and its shareholders. The Board reviewed and expressed continued satisfaction with each Fund’s fee structure under its Agreement.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, comptroller or principal accounting officer, and any person who performs a similar function. There were no amendments made to, or waivers granted from, the code of ethics during the fiscal year.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
Currently, the Meeder Funds (the “Funds”) do not have an Audit Committee member who possesses all of the attributes required to be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in instruction 2(b) of Item 3 of Form N-CSR. However, the Board of Trustees believes that each member of the Audit Committee has substantial experience relating to the review of financial statements and the operations of audit committees. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees believes that the members are qualified to evaluate the Funds’ financial statements, supervise the Funds’ preparation of its financial statements, and oversee the work of the Funds’ independent auditors. The Board of Trustees also believes that, although no single Audit Committee member possesses all of the attributes required to be an “audit committee financial expert”, the Audit Committee members collectively as a group possess the attributes required to be an “audit committee financial expert.”
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
(a) – (d) Aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:
Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements, including, but not limited to, mileage, lodging, and meals. Tax fees include amounts related to tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice, including the review and preparation of the Funds’ income tax returns, the review and preparation of the Funds’ excise tax returns, the review of supporting schedules and documentation provided by management, the review and recalculation of the Funds’ estimated distribution calculations, and the review of wash sales for reasonableness. All other fees include amounts related to the registrant’s annual filing of Form N1A.
(e)(1) A purpose of the Audit Committee is to approve the engagement of the registrant’s independent auditors (i) to render audit and non-audit services for the registrant in accordance with Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i) of Regulation S-X, subject to the waiver provisions set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X, and (ii) to render non-audit services for the registrant’s investment advisors (other than a sub-advisor whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted or overseen by another investment advisor) and any other entity controlling by, or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant, in each case under (ii) if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant, in accordance with Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X, subject to waiver provisions set forth in Rule 2-01(c)(7)(ii) of Regulation S-X.
(e)(2) 0% of services included in (b) – (d) above were approved pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X.
(f) Not applicable.
(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment advisor, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment advisor that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $54,500 and $36,700 respectively.

(b) There were no significant changes in the registrant’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
