ANNUAL REPORT
October 31, 2013
CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
The Asset Management Fund (“AMF” and each series, a “Fund”) family of no load institutional mutual funds is pleased to present to shareholders the 2013 Annual Report.
The global economy is now finishing up a fifth year of difficult adjustment and restructuring. Central banks remain on center stage and are the dominant drivers of financial market trends as politicians continue to stumble towards policies to contain the fiscal imbalances which are the greatest source of systematic risk in the western economic system. Our fellow citizens understand these risks; rarely have Washington politicians been held in lower regard by voters and this pessimism is likely holding back our recovery. After all, how can Washington expect consumers and investors to regain their “animal spirits” while observing Congress flail through the Fiscal Cliff, sequestration, the government shutdown and the rollout of ObamaCare? Unfortunately, we do not expect our leaders to fix this toxic environment in the near future.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve continues to do the heavy lifting for the U.S. economy. Quantitative Easing (“QE”) has undoubtedly been a success, if success is measured as negative real government yields and private and corporate sectors that have the lowest debt service costs in decades. But another key objective of QE is to encourage private sector risk-taking and generate healthy nominal economic growth to pay back the accumulated government debt. While the buoyant equity markets would suggest that QE is working, achieving acceptable GDP and inflation targets has been more difficult. The temptation, therefore, is to keep QE and “financial repression” in place longer than what might seem reasonable. And while the new Fed Chairperson-to-be, Janet Yellen, is clearly a dove in regards to these issues, she will be faced with a much more hawkish and vocal Open Market Committee lineup in 2014. Plan on more Fed-generated volatility over the next few years.
The evil twin of financial repression that doesn’t get nearly as much play as it’s sibling but is equally important is “regulatory repression”. Most financial market participants think of Dodd-Frank as a financial market overhaul; however, it also keeps the risk-taking activities encouraged by financial repression out of the depository system. In a fractional banking system, this is exactly where those risks, properly capitalized and managed, need to reside; they encourage investment and economic growth. Unfortunately, these opportunities are migrating back into the unregulated shadow banking and securitization systems. We don’t believe that these non-depository markets have been properly restructured, and therefore remain a future source of unsupervised risk. Depositories, meanwhile, are still de-leveraging, de-risking and being forced to improve liquidity, which is just another way of saying to bulk up on government securities. We fear that if the Washington politicians can’t control spending, the next stage of regulatory repression is far worse: capital and foreign exchange controls, caps on deposit rates, and mandated investment in government securities for non-depositories, such as pension funds. Sound impossible in the U.S.? Perhaps, but examples of this happening in Europe over the past few years are too numerous for this letter.
Given these themes, we continue to focus on staying long liquidity and transparency and under weighting our duration benchmarks. The restructuring of our fixed income funds has proven beneficial for shareholders, and the recent performance of our short duration fixed income funds has been particularly strong. As always, we are grateful for your continuing support and continue to seek the best investment strategies for achieving our shareholder’s investment objectives.

MARKET OVERVIEW
October 31, 2013
Last year, we expressed some concern that investor complacency could lead to some surprises in the bond markets due to what we called the “Interest Rate Gap”, or the difference between the price the Fed will pay for fixed income securities and price that brings in real economic buyers. We also forecasted a steeper yield curve in 2013. In fact, the sharp increase in interest rates which we experienced in 2013 was the direct result of the Federal Reserve opening the discussion to a “Tapering” of their Quantitative Easing (“QE”) program. While Treasury Bill rates fell 5-10 bps during the funds’ fiscal year, short Treasury Note rates rose 5-20 bps and intermediate and long Treasury Notes and Bonds rose 60-90 bps.
Of course, the catalyst to the Fed opening the discussion of higher rates was the continued firming in economic conditions. While GDP growth remains below potential, it is encouraging that GDP has been accelerating all year given the headwinds caused by the Fiscal Cliff, sequestration, higher taxes, and weak growth in government employment. The housing market has begun what many to believe to be a long, steady improvement, and the rise in home and equity prices mean that household net worth has never been higher. Private employment continues to improve, and indicators hint at an acceleration in job growth into 2014.
And even though employment and industrial activity aren’t back to 2008 levels, the Fed’s QE policy has allowed consumer and corporation balance sheets to heal dramatically. While nominal debt levels remain historically high, most consumer debt has been termed out at very low interest rates. Households are currently spending just over 15% of disposable income to service fixed debt and other payments (such as property taxes), which is the lowest level in over thirty years. The federal government’s HARP (“Home Affordable Refinance Program”) program for underwater mortgagors certainly helped to lower mortgage payments, and the Fed’s QE policy allowed healthy homeowners to lock in the lowest mortgage rates since the 1960’s. While that made owning higher coupon mortgage-backed securities somewhat uncomfortable for a good part of 2013, we believe the mortgage-backed securities market is entering a period of tremendous prepayment stability now that the generational lows in mortgage rates have been achieved. Since Q 2 2009, over 18 million GSE loans (about 75% of the total) have been refinanced, with 2.9 million coming through HARP alone. As such, the pool of eligible loans that are refinanceable has declined sharply. With mortgage rates up 100 bps since late last year, principal prepayment rates have fallen by 60%.
By our estimates, U.S. economic growth looks primed for a surprise on the upside. We say that with some real trepidation; actual GDP has come in below both the Fed’s forecast and private economist survey’s since 2008. For the record, the Fed’s September 2013 forecast is for 2014 GDP of 2.9% - 3.1%, down slightly from their June 2013 forecast. The private sector is forecasting 2.6%. We’re leaning towards the Fed, and as the unemployment rate prepares to drop below 7% early next year - a level not breached since the end of 2008 – we expect that QE will be dialed down throughout 2014. Janet Yellen will be faced with an Open Market Committee with almost as many hawks as doves. She will face some contentious new members, and we expect Fed risk will add to volatility in 2014. As such, we’ve focused our investments on shorter duration, floating rate securities.
As we stated last year, the rebound in home prices caught some by surprise. In 2013, the continued rebound impacted economic and political events on a number of fronts. First, after several tweaks to the HARP program, the Obama administration got the desired results in mortgage modifications. At the same time, the political imperative to do something dramatic to cure the underwater homeowner problem has declined significantly. At one point, nearly 25% of all homes with mortgages were underwater. Currently, that number is less than 15%, and only 6% are significantly underwater. With home prices forecast to continue to rise modestly, the underwater homeowner is being cured naturally. The one caveat: the improvement in the housing market has also returned the GSEs to reasonable health, and FHLMC and FNMA have nearly completely repaid the government’s initial investment from 2008 when they were placed into receivership. For the foreseeable future, the GSEs will be net cash generators for the federal government. The Obama Administration could use some of these profits for more aggressive loan modifications. All said, what this certainly means is that housing reform is likely to take a back seat once again, as Congress faces more pressing problems with debt and entitlement reforms.

MARKET OVERVIEW
October 31, 2013
As for 2014, we expect a year of increased volatility. After several years of growth hovering around 2% in the U.S., a number of headwinds have been removed. QE is nearing its end; investors should start to think hard about what they believe to be market based levels on nominal, long term interest rates because, in our view, the Fed will wind down its QE program throughout 2014 and U.S. Treasury and mortgage rates will, for the first time in several years, be solely dominated by the forces of inflation and real GDP. We thank all of our shareholders for allowing us to assist them with their investment needs, and look forward to serving you in the future.

ASSET MANAGEMENT FUND REVIEW
October 31, 2013
Ultra Short Mortgage Fund
With nearly zero interest rate volatility on the front part of the yield curve, the Fund focused on securities that we believed would provide stable, prepayment protected yields. The Fund’s holdings are mainly seasoned government agency hybrid ARMs. Many of the loans backing these pools provide the borrower with a monthly mortgage payment below that available from fixed mortgage rates, which helps to keep their refinancing risk relatively low. However, the federal government’s enhancements to the HARP Program (“Home Affordable Refinance Program”) in late 2012 did raise prepayments rates on most government mortgage securities, negatively impacting the returns of the Fund. Once interest rates rose in the second half of the fiscal year, prepayment rates declined markedly, allowing the Fund to retain more of its coupon income and positively impacted performance. The Fund’s focus continues to be on seasoned loans which have a variety of impediments to refinancing. This strategy allows the Fund to maintain a relatively attractive yield compared to newly issued securities. The Fund benefitted substantially from a number of litigation recoveries associated with private label mortgage-backed securities. The Fund was ranked in the 55th percentile and the 5th percentile of the Morningstar Ultrashort Bond category* for the one-year periods ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2013, respectively.

Short U.S. Government Fund
With nearly zero interest rate volatility on the front part of the yield curve, the Fund focused on securities that we believed would provide stable, prepayment protected yields. The Fund increased its exposure to seasoned government agency hybrid ARMs throughout the year as a defensive strategy against rising interest rates. From the beginning of 2013 until October, the percentage of floating rate and adjustable rate securities increased from 40% to 63%. Mortgage spreads also widened during the initial increase in interest rates, and since the Fund maintained its spread duration during this period the net asset value has improved as spreads tightened in the last few months of the fiscal year. Also, prepayment rates have declined markedly since interest rates rose this summer, allowing the Fund to retain more of its coupon income and positively impacted performance. The Fund’s focus continues to be on seasoned loans which have a variety of impediments to refinancing. The Fund benefitted slightly from a number of litigation recoveries associated with private label mortgage-backed securities. The Fund was ranked in the 33rd percentile and the 24th percentile of the Morningstar Short Government Bond category* for the one year periods ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2013, respectively.

October 31, 2013
U.S. Government Mortgage Fund
The fund sought to maintain a lower than normal interest rate exposure throughout the year due to our expectation that interest rate would rise. While this strategy was beneficial to the Fund as rates rose in the summer, the defensive nature of funds’ holdings also reduced net interest income. The Fund’s holdings are mainly higher coupon, fixed rate securities and refinancing-impaired securities. This strategy has allowed the Fund to maintain a relatively attractive yield compared to newly issued securities. For example, the Fund purchased GNMA securities backed by home loans from residences in Puerto Rico. Even though these securities were refinanceable for much of 2013, they have experienced no prepayments. The Fund also used fixed rate MBS to manage interest rate exposure, and the Fund was generally positioned toward the lower end of its targeted duration range. The Fund was ranked in the 44th percentile and the 76th percentile of the Morningstar Intermediate Government Bond category* for the one year periods ended October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2013, respectively.
On December 11, 2013, the Board of Trustees determined that it is in the best interest of the Shareholders of the U.S. Government Mortgage Fund to liquidate the Fund. The liquidation will commence on January 10, 2014.

AMF LARGE CAP EQUITY FUND REVIEW
October 31, 2013
During the one-year period ending October 31, 2013, the AMF Large Cap Equity Fund (Class AMF) produced a total return of 23.55%. Total return figures for the Fund’s peer group and benchmark index were 27.16% for the Morningstar Large Blend Category and 27.18% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index for the same period. Total return assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains and the deduction of all applicable fees and expenses. Individual security performance, relative market sector weightings, cash balances and fund expense ratio are the primary drivers of the Fund’s investment return relative to its peer group and index benchmarks.
The Fund contains 28 high quality, large capitalization common stock investments. With its focus on companies that have demonstrated an ability to achieve long-term sustainable earnings and dividend growth, the Fund is more heavily weighted toward sectors of the market that are less cyclical in nature. As such, the Fund tends to be less volatile than the broad market, rising less in a bull market but declining less in a bear market.
We are happy to report that the Fund just celebrated its sixtieth anniversary, making it one of the oldest mutual funds in the country. The Fund’s 23.55% total return this year is the best October 31st 1-year return since 1998, 15 years ago. As of October 31, 2013, the Fund’s annualized total return since inception on June 30, 1953 is 10.51%, more than 700 basis points above inflation. A $10,000 investment at inception would be worth $4,164,563 as of October 31, 2013 assuming the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. To put these figures into some perspective, in 1953 $10,000 was equivalent to about half of the cost of a typical new home. Today $4.1 million is equivalent to approximately 16 new homes. The power of long-term compounding is an amazing investment tool.
The domestic economy produced positive growth during this past year, however the overall pace remains sluggish. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth made progress throughout the past four quarters rising from 0.1% to 2.8%, although the year-over-year figure amounted to a relatively modest 1.6%. The employment landscape continues to show signs of improvement with the unemployment rate dipping to 7.3% recently. The underemployment rate however, which includes people marginally attached to the labor force and those working part-time but who would prefer full-time employment, remains elevated at 13.8%. The labor participation rate of 62.8% is the lowest it’s been since the 1970’s.
Due to the slow economic progress and the challenging labor market, the Federal Reserve continued its accommodative monetary policy throughout the past year. However, there have been signs that the Fed may begin to reduce its Quantitative Easing policy in the near future. This strategy of purchasing bonds in the open market has kept both short and long-term interest rates at historically low levels. As the market has anticipated the Fed “tapering” its Quantitative Easing program, long-term interest rates have begun to move up from their extremely low levels. This has produced a slight headwind for the recovering housing market as mortgage rates have risen.
From a corporate performance perspective, during the past year S&P 500 revenues grew 4% while profit margins expanded from 8.9% to 9.6%, resulting in operating earnings growth of 5%. This is an improvement over the prior year’s 3% operating earnings growth rate. The stock market’s strong return during the past year was largely attributable to an expansion in the price-to-earnings ratio. Investors were more willing to pay a higher price for each dollar of earnings as recent economic data supported the outlook for further economic improvement. The Fed added to this economic optimism flashing signs of “tapering” its Quantitative Easing program.
The Fund’s investment philosophy focuses on investing in high quality, large capitalization common stocks. We specifically seek to acquire equity stakes in established companies that we believe have the ability to produce long-term sustainable earnings and dividend growth at favorable valuations for long-term ownership. We believe that this is a prudent way for investors to accumulate wealth over the long-term and benefit from the mathematical merits of compounding. As of October 31, 2013, the portfolio’s 28 holdings had a weighted average earnings yield of 6.08% (12-month trailing earnings divided by the closing stock price on 10/31/13). The weighted average 5-year historical earnings growth rate for these holdings was 7.10%. The weighted average dividend yield of our current portfolio holdings was 2.34%. Over the previous 5-year period, the growth rate of these dividends has been 8.07% on a weighted average basis. The return on equity for our portfolio holdings on a weighted average basis was 25.16% as of October 31, 2013. The current earnings and dividend yields available in the equity market are attractive relative to the “risk-free” alternatives available in the U.S. Treasury market. While price-to-earnings ratios have expanded during the past few years, they remain in line with the 60-year historical average.
Our portfolio turnover of 5% during the past year is evidence of our long-term investment horizon. There are three primary reasons why we will choose to make changes in portfolio composition: valuations, fundamentals and relative opportunities. In late

AMF LARGE CAP EQUITY FUND REVIEW
October 31, 2013
2012, we eliminated Cisco Systems and Home Depot from the portfolio. Cisco was eliminated primarily for fundamental reasons and secondarily for valuation. Its revenue and earnings growth were continuing to decelerate as its core server and switch markets have matured. New competitors have been entering the market with alternative software solutions that risk diminishing the value of Cisco’s core hardware product lines. Management has attempted to diversify the company’s business although success has been limited. For these reasons, along with the fact that its stock price reflected our estimate of fair market value, we chose to eliminate the position. Home Depot’s valuation exceeded our estimated fair value as its stock price had risen significantly over the prior 18 months. In our opinion, this lofty valuation discounted a significant portion of its future return potential.
During the past year, long-term holding Abbott Labs spun off its research-based pharmaceutical business into a new company called AbbVie. The “new” Abbott Labs consists of the remaining business units, including Nutritionals, Diabetes Care, Vascular and other medical devices and products. AbbVie is highly reliant on its blockbuster drug Humira for a majority of its revenues and profits. With so much riding on the success of one product, we felt it was best for the Fund to eliminate AbbVie from the portfolio after the spinoff and realize the capital appreciation accumulated over the Fund’s 15+ year holding period. Shares of the remaining Abbott Labs company were retained in the portfolio as this business is more reflective of the type of high quality, stable investment the Fund seeks.
In the relative opportunities category, early in 2013 we eliminated General Dynamics in exchange for Emerson Electric, both in the Industrial sector of the portfolio. General Dynamics is a major defense contractor as well as the manufacturer of Gulf-stream business jets. With so much of its revenue dependent on the Department of Defense and subject to cuts by the U.S. government, its projected revenue growth has been on the decline. It will be difficult for the Gulfstream business to offset these large potential headwinds. Given its weakening business environment and fair valuation, the position was used as a source of funds to purchase Emerson Electric. Emerson is a high quality company that has demonstrated an ability to deliver long-term sustainable earnings and dividend growth. It is a well diversified industrial company with multiple business units including Process Management, Industrial Automation, Network Power, Climate Technologies and Commercial and Residential Solutions. At the time of purchase, the shares were favorably valued and offered an attractive dividend yield.
A second opportunistic transaction occurred toward the end the period when we eliminated Sysco (the food distribution company) in the Consumer Staples sector and purchased Schlumberger in the Energy sector. Sysco had been in the Fund for over 17 years. It was a model of consistent earnings and dividend growth over a majority of that period, up until the past few years. The recession injured their client base, many of which are restaurants. Moreover, it has also been conducting a business transformation project for an extensive period of time that has not met objectives. Management recently announced that next year’s earnings would fall below expectations. We chose to realize our large capital gains in this long-term holding, which had the added effect of reducing our large market overweighting in the Consumer Staples sector. Schlumberger is an oilfield services company that has a worldwide footprint and dominates its industry. It is involved in all aspects of exploration and production for the oil and natural gas industry including reservoir characterization, drilling and servicing, along with reservoir production. This company compliments our other energy sector holdings which include Chevron and Exxon Mobil. As new oil and gas reserves become harder to locate and extract, demand for Schlumberger’s technology and service capabilities continues to increase.
In addition to the companies mentioned above, a number of other holdings were reduced during the year due to rising valuations after strong performance and/or due to their large weighting in the portfolio. Some of the larger reductions included Berkshire Hathaway, American Express, Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson and United Technologies. All of these companies, however, continue to be core holdings in the portfolio.
As always, the Fund’s portfolio management team continues its focus on common stock investments that offer the opportunity for long-term sustainable earnings and dividend growth, making additions to the portfolio when valuations are attractive, in pursuit of long-term wealth creation with subdued volatility.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2013
| | | | |
| | | | |
Asset Management Fund (the “Trust”) was reorganized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 30, 1999, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management company. As of October 31, 2013, the Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares in six separate series: the Ultra Short Mortgage Fund, the Ultra Short Fund, the Short U.S. Government Fund, the Intermediate Mortgage Fund, the U.S. Government Mortgage Fund and the Large Cap Equity Fund (referred to individually as a “Fund” and collectively as the “Funds”). Each of the Funds, except the Large Cap Equity Fund, offer a single class of shares. The Large Cap Equity Fund is authorized to issue two classes of shares: Class AMF Shares and Class H Shares. Class AMF and Class H Shares of the Large Cap Equity Fund have the same rights and obligations except: (i) Class AMF Shares bear a distribution fee, while Class H Shares do not have any distribution fee, which will cause Class AMF Shares to have a higher expense ratio and to pay lower dividends than those related to Class H Shares; (ii) other expenses, which are determined to properly apply to one class of shares upon approval by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (“Board”), will be borne solely by the class to which such expenses are attributable; and (iii) each class will have exclusive voting rights with respect to the matters relating to its own distribution arrangements. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnification. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund. The Trust maintains an insurance policy that insures its officers and trustees against certain liabilities. A. Significant accounting policies are as follows: SECURITY VALUATION Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques employed by the Funds, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad levels: | | The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, certain short-term debt securities are valued using amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Funds’ prices for equity securities are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Board as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4:00 pm EST, each business day on which the share price of each Fund is calculated. Equity securities listed or traded on a primary exchange are valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sales price on the primary exchange. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the securities will be valued at the mean of the latest bid and ask quotations as of the close of the primary exchange. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. In these types of situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Funds’ debt and other fixed income securities are generally valued at an evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing source approved by the Board. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality that mature within sixty days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. If a pricing service is unable to provide valuations for a particular security or securities, or the Adviser has determined that such valuations are unreliable, the Funds will fair value the security or securities pursuant to the fair valuation methodology of the Adviser approved by the Board. Within the fair value pricing methodology used by the Adviser, among the more specific factors that are considered in determining the fair value of investments in debt instruments are: (1) information obtained with respect to market transactions in such securities or comparable securities; (2) the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable securities; (3) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; (4) quotations from broker/dealers, yields, maturities, ratings and various relationships between securities; and (5) evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. The fair valuation process also takes into consideration factors such as interest rate changes, movements in credit spreads, default rate assumptions, repayment assumptions, type and quality of collateral, and security seasoning. Imprecision in estimating fair value can impact the amount of unrealized appreciation or |

| ● | Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets | |
| | | |
| ● | Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) | |
| | | |
| ● | Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) | |

depreciation recorded for a particular security, and differences in the assumptions used could result in a different determination of fair value, and those differences could be material. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value pricing, including evaluated prices obtained from pricing services, is inherently a process of estimates and judgments. Fair value prices may fluctuate less than market prices due to technical issues which may impact the prices at which the Funds can purchase or sell securities. Market prices can be impacted by technical factors such as short term changes in market liquidity and volatility which may not directly impact | | fair value prices. There can be no assurance that a Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio of investments at the fair value price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. In addition, changes in the value of portfolio investments priced at fair value may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of securities that trade frequently in the marketplace, resulting in potentially greater NAV volatility. While the Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values at the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair value prices would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security, particularly in a forced or distressed sale. |
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of October 31, 2013:

As of October 31, 2013, there were no Level 3 securities held by the Funds. The Trust’s policy is to disclose transfers between levels based on valuations at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 as of October 31, 2013, based on levels assigned to securities as of October 31, 2012. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS With the exception of the Ultra Short Fund and Large Cap Equity Fund, obligations of the U.S. Government or other | | obligations that are not subject to any investment limitation on the part of national banks may be purchased from government securities dealers or the custodian bank, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The value of collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. If the counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by Funds may be delayed or limited. |

SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED OR DELAYED-DELIVERY BASIS Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. In when-issued transactions, securities are bought or sold during the period between the announcement of an offering and the issuance and payment date of the securities. When securities are purchased on a delayed-delivery basis, the price of the securities is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is made, but settlement may take place at a future date. By the time of delivery, securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be valued at less than the purchase price. At the time when-issued or delayed-delivery securities are purchased, the Fund must set aside funds in a segregated account to pay for the purchase, and until acquisition, the Fund will not earn any income on the securities that it purchased. There were no when-issued securities held in the Funds as of October 31, 2013. DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS Ultra Short Mortgage Fund, Ultra Short Fund, Short U.S. Government Fund, Intermediate Mortgage Fund and U.S. Government Mortgage Fund: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Large Cap Equity Fund: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least quarterly. Net short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. For all Funds, distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. reclass of dividend distribution and return of capital), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital. FEDERAL TAXES No provision is made for Federal income taxes as it is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. | | For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. MANAGEMENT ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. OTHER Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, amortization and accretion is recognized based on the anticipated effective maturity date, and the cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations. B.

As a result of the civil action, the Ultra Short Mortgage and Ultra Short Fund incurred legal expenses of $103,775 and $2,328 respectively, during the period covered by the report. These legal expenses have been included in the Statements of Operations under legal | | expenses for each Fund. In addition to the legal expense incurred, a corresponding legal expense reimbursement from the Funds’ insurance carrier has also been included in the Statements of Operations under expenses reduced for each Fund. As of October 31, 2013, this civil action is no longer pending. The legal fees and corresponding expense reimbursement incurred in connection with this civil action resulted in no net asset value impact to either Fund. |

| | |
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, Ultra Short Mortgage Fund, Ultra Short Fund, Intermediate Mortgage Fund and Short U.S. Government Fund had net capital loss carry-forward amounts expire of 18,592,703, 1,402,014, 1,821,864 and 1,805,629 respectively. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) eliminated the eight year limit on the use of capital loss carryforwards that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. The changes became effective for the Funds for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. Consequently, capital losses incurred by the Funds in taxable years beginning with the taxable year ended October 31, 2012 can be carried forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses | | incurred by the Funds in taxable years beginning before the taxable year ended October 31, 2012 with an expiration date may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning with the taxable year ended October 31, 2012 without an expiration date have been utilized. As a result, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The Funds’ ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. |
Capital losses incurred that will be carried forward under the provisions of the Act are as follows: | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | | | | Long Term Capital Loss Carryforward | |
Short U.S. Government Fund | | $ | 182,861 | | | $ | — | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded)
October 31, 2013
| | |
| | |
Dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for deferral of losses on wash sales. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate components of net assets in the period that these differences arise. F. LITIGATION PROCEEDS During the year ended October 31, the Ultra Short Mortgage, Ultra Short, Short U.S. Government and Intermediate Mortgage Funds received proceeds of approximately $5,639,985, $215,769, $66,921 and $278,545, respectively, relating to settlements of litigation. In addition, the Ultra Short Mortgage and Intermediate Mortgage Funds received proceeds of approximately $333,144 and $42,221, respectively, relating to class action settlements. The proceeds have been included in “Realized gains (losses) from investment transactions” on the Statement of Operations and Statement of Changes in Net Assets. | | G. SHAREHOLDER CONCENTRATION At October 31, 2013, the Ultra Short Fund, Short U.S. Government Fund, Intermediate Fund and U.S. Government Mortgage Fund have a concentrated number of shareholders invested in the Funds. Investment activities of these concentrated investors could have a material effect on the Funds. H. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Funds have evaluated events from October 31, 2013 through the date that these financial statements were issued. On December 11th, 2013, the Board of Trustees determined that it is in the best interest of the shareholders of the U.S. Government Mortgage fund to liquidate the fund, which is expected to commence on January 10, 2014. Effective immediately, the U.S. Government Mortgage Fund is closed to new investors. There are no additional subsequent events to report that would have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements. |
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Asset Management Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ultra Short Mortgage Fund, Ultra Short Fund, Short U.S. Government Fund, Intermediate Mortgage Fund, U.S. Government Mortgage Fund, and Large Cap Equity Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2013, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As disclosed in Note H of the Notes to Financial Statements, the U.S. Government Mortgage Fund will liquidate after the close of business on January 10, 2014.

B. EXPENSE COMPARISON: | | ACTUAL EXPENSES |
| | |
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including management 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 table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. |
| |
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from May 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013. | |

| Class H | | | | 1,000.00 | | | | | 1,075.70 | | | | | 5.60 | | | | 1.07% | |
* | Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (184) divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (365). |
| | |
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES | | 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. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. |
| |
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each 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 balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. | |
