Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance 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 of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling 1-800-999-0887 or visiting www.thompsonim.com.
Results include the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions. Investment performance reflects all fee waivers that may be in effect.

LARGECAP FUND INVESTMENT REVIEW(Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2019 |
Management Commentary
The Fund’s lag relative to its benchmark over this period was driven to a large degree by changes in investor macroeconomic expectations. The most high-profile indicator of this was the fluctuation in yield on the 10 Year US Treasury note, which moved from 2.99% on November 30 to 2.13% on May 31 – a drop of -0.86%. As interest rates declined significantly, sectors and industries most sensitive to their gyrations reacted accordingly. Banks performed poorly, as investors questioned their ability to expand or even maintain net interest margins. The Real Estate and Utilities sectors performed well, driven by the appeal of their dividend yields relative to bonds. This change in sentiment was likely driven by concerns relating to the potential economic fallout from escalating trade tensions. While a deal between China and the U.S. was largely expected in late April, by mid-May talks had broken down. To compound the worry, late in the month the President threatened incremental tariffs against Mexico unless the country reduced the flow of immigration from Central American countries.
We have no special insight as to the ultimate resolution of the President’s trade negotiations. In many ways the up and down flow of news acts as a Rorschach test on the President himself. To supporters of his trade stance, the benefits of a potential future trade landscape are worth the volatility and economic risks. To critics, the payoff is doubtful, and the dangers of a recession-causing policy mistake are material.
Given this elevated uncertainty, it is understandable that stocks have drifted down from their recent highs. With the market seemingly trapped between “economic boom” and “recession” scenarios, we believe the best option is to not tilt the Fund’s exposure in a way that heavily favors either outcome. We think at this point that committing strongly in one direction or the other risks crossing over the fine line from investing into speculation.
Compounding this is our belief that the valuation risk in many traditional safe haven sectors is elevated. The risk of rotating into overbought securities is that if and when sentiment changes in the opposite direction, a stock’s reaction to the change is that much more dramatic. We would rather take an intermediate view and continue to focus on seeking out earnings growth potential and attractive valuations, while discounting our expectations in accordance with the general level of macroeconomic uncertainty.
Opinions expressed are subject to change, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in smaller companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Investments in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) are subject to some extent to the risks associated with directly investing in securities of foreign issuers, including the risk of changes in currency exchange rates, expropriation or nationalization of assets, and the impact of political, diplomatic, or social events. Investments in real estate securities may involve greater risk and volatility including greater exposure to economic downturns and changes in real estate values, rents, property taxes, and tax and other laws. A real estate investment trust’s (REIT’s) share price may decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry.
Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on page 5 of this report for holdings information. The management commentary above as well as Fund holdings and asset/sector allocations should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. In addition, please note that Fund holdings and asset/sector allocations are subject to change.
Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that indicates how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price.
Net Interest Margin is the ratio of net interest income to invested assets.
Yield is the income earned from a bond, which takes into account the sum of the interest payment, the redemption value at the bond’s maturity, and the initial purchase price of the bond.
Earnings Growth is a measure of growth in a company’s net income over a specific period, often one year. It is not a prediction of the Fund’s future returns.

MIDCAP FUND INVESTMENT REVIEW(Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2019 |
Management Commentary
After a poor start in December 2018, the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark bounced back for the rest of the semi-annual period until May, when the gap significantly widened again in favor of the benchmark. During both poor months, concerns relating to escalating trade tensions rattled investors, sending interest rates lower and investors searching for safe havens. While some of the Fund’s lag can be explained by security-specific issues, much of it is thematic in nature. For the last few years, momentum has been carrying some stocks higher than we believe reasonable and driving others lower than we think justified. The discrepancy has reached extreme levels, with the Russell Growth Index beating the Value index by a cumulative 31.19% since the end of 2016 through the end of the period.
This had been changing, but as sentiment again turned negative in May, investors retreated to strategies that worked well previously over the past two and a half years (favoring growth over value, for example). The question we’ve been asking ourselves repeatedly over that time period is, “Is the growth or safety premium of Company X really worth THAT much more than only slightly worse metrics from Company Y?” Even when taking the potential for operational stumbles into account, we find ourselves questioning valuation discrepancies more and more frequently. The problem we see is that in order for valuations to be close to reasonable for many growth stocks or perceived safe havens, the earnings and interest rate expectations for those stocks must be accurate well into the future. Given the trade and economic concerns mentioned above, we think the accuracy of predictions well into the future are anything but certain.
In aggregate, the Fund portfolio’s estimated earnings growth rate is roughly in line with that of its benchmark. It is our opinion that the Fund’s price/earnings ratio is at a clear discount to the benchmark. This is consistent with the Growth at a Reasonable Price (GARP) strategy we are attempting to employ in the Fund. We believe this strategy provides the opportunity for competitive returns in the future, and over the long run should continue to work toward that end.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Midcap companies tend to have more limited liquidity and greater volatility than large-capitalization companies. Investments in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) are subject to some extent to the risks associated with directly investing in securities of foreign issuers, including the risk of changes in currency exchange rates, expropriation or nationalization of assets, and the impact of political, diplomatic, or social events. Investments in real estate securities may involve greater risk and volatility including greater exposure to economic downturns and changes in real estate values, rents, property taxes, and tax and other laws. A real estate investment trust’s (REIT’s) share price may decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry.

BOND FUND INVESTMENT REVIEW(Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2019 |
Management Commentary
Changes in credit spreads frequently explain the Fund’s relative under and outperformance over short timeframes, but did not during this semi-annual period. In this case, a precipitous decline in yields led to the differential. Yields on the 2 and 5-Year US Treasury dropped 0.87% and 0.90% respectively. The Fund’s end of the period duration of 1.26 years is significantly less than that of its benchmarks, which is 2.67 years for the U.S. Government/Credit 1-5 Year Index and 2.67 years for the U.S. Credit 1-5 Year Index. Consequently, it did not benefit as much from the dramatic interest rate retreat.
While we do not attempt to predict near-term interest rate movements, a dearth of attractive opportunities at the far end of the Fund’s maturity ladder has naturally resulted in fewer purchases of longer-dated securities over the last several quarters. As we have noted before, our goal is to maintain a competitive SEC yield relative to the Fund’s benchmarks. An SEC yield of 3.45% at the end of the period gives us the opportunity to make up the recent lag in the future.
A narrowing of credit spreads has also caused us to retreat to some degree from new purchases of corporate debt for the Fund’s portfolio. The Fund’s exposure to US government debt at the end of the period stands at 15.88%, which is the highest it’s been in many years. If spreads widen (and we expect they eventually will), we’ll look to take advantage. Until then, we’ll seek to remain patient.
We do anticipate that more opportunities to add value will emerge over the next half of the fiscal year. It would be unusual for both interest rates and credit spreads to remain depressed for an extended period of time. It is our opinion that it wouldn’t take much to produce a rebound in either.
Opinions expressed are subject to change, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. The risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in bonds of foreign issuers involve greater volatility, political and economic risks, and differences in accounting methods. Investment by the Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.
Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on page 20 of this report for holdings information. The management commentary above as well as Fund holdings should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. In addition, please note that Fund holdings are subject to change.
The federal government guarantees interest payments from government securities while dividend payments carry no such guarantee. Government securities, if held to maturity, guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest.
Duration is a commonly used measure of the potential volatility of the price of a debt security, or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of debt securities, prior to maturity. Securities with a longer duration generally have more volatile prices than securities of comparable quality with a shorter duration.
SEC Yield is a standardized yield computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the 30-day period prior to quarter-end and was created to allow for fairer comparisons among bond funds.
Spread is the percentage point difference between yields of various classes of bonds compared to treasury bonds.
Yield is the income earned from a bond, which takes into account the sum of the interest payment, the redemption value at the bond’s maturity, and the initial purchase price of the bond.
Credit Ratings are provided by Standard & Poor’s, who assign a rating based on their analysis of the issuer’s creditworthiness. The highest rating given is AAA and the lowest is C.
The purpose of Moody’s ratings is to provide investors with a simple system of gradation by which relative creditworthiness of securities may be noted. Gradations of creditworthiness are indicated by rating symbols, with each symbol representing a group in which the credit characteristics are broadly the same. The highest rating assigned by Moody’s is AAA and the lowest is C.
Although the makeup of the Bond Fund’s portfolio is constantly changing, as of May 31, 2019, 61.04% of the Fund’s portfolio was invested in corporate bonds. Due to prevailing market conditions, the composition of the Fund’s portfolio as of that date was consistent with the composition of the Fund’s portfolio over the past 5 years. In addition, as of that date 51.29% of the Fund’s portfolio was invested in securities rated BBB by Standard & Poor’s, while an additional 4.25% of the Fund’s portfolio was rated below investment-grade and 21.36% of the Fund’s portfolio was not rated by Standard & Poor’s. For portfolio information current as of the most recent quarter-end, please call 1-800-999-0887 or visit our website at www.thompsonim.com. Compared to a portfolio that is more evenly allocated between government and corporate bonds, a portfolio that is heavily allocated to corporate bonds may provide higher returns but is also subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk and to greater price fluctuations. A portfolio that is significantly allocated to bonds having lower and below-investment-grade ratings may also be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk and experience greater price fluctuations than a portfolio comprised of higher-rated investment-grade bonds.

^The Bond Fund’s quality composition is calculated using ratings from Standard & Poor’s. If Standard & Poor’s does not rate a holding then Moody’s is used. If Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s do not rate a holding then Fitch is used. For certain securities that are not rated by any of these three agencies, credit ratings from other Nationally Recognized Statistical Credit Rating Organization (NRSRO) agencies may be used. Not rated category includes holdings that are not rated by any NRSRO. All ratings are as of 05/31/19. |

FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLES(Unaudited) |
May 31, 2019 |
Example
A Fund shareholder may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below under each Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for such Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below under each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on such 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 the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Unaudited) |
May 31, 2019 |
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Thompson IM Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Wisconsin corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end, diversified management investment company.
The Company consists of separate mutual funds series (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”): Thompson LargeCap Fund (the “LargeCap Fund”), Thompson MidCap Fund (the “MidCap Fund”) and Thompson Bond Fund (the “Bond Fund”). The assets and liabilities of each Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which the shareholder owns shares. The objectives and strategies of each Fund are described in the Funds’ Prospectus.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services — Investment Companies.
VALUATION POLICY AND PROCEDURES - The Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Funds’ Board”) has adopted methods for valuing securities set forth in the Funds’ Pricing Policies and Procedures, including circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available or deemed to be unreliable, and has delegated authority to the Advisor to apply those methods in making fair value determinations, subject to oversight by the Funds’ Board. The Advisor has established a valuation committee that, along with other Advisor employees, administers, implements, and oversees the fair valuation process and makes fair value decisions. The valuation committee regularly reviews its own fair value decisions, as well as valuations, valuation techniques and services furnished by pricing services; considers circumstances in the markets which may require it to make or adjust valuation determinations; and reviews previous valuation determinations. The valuation committee reports on its activities and any changes to the fair valuation guidelines to the Funds’ Board.
VALUATION MEASUREMENTS – In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
Inputs may include price information, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. The Fund considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Fund. The categorization of a security within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the security and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of that security. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair valuation 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 that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
40
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2019 |
SECURITY VALUATION - Each Fund’s equity securities, including common stocks, ADRs and REITs, are valued at their market prices (generally the last reported sales price on the exchange where the securities are primarily traded or, for Nasdaq-listed securities, at their Nasdaq Official Closing Prices). If no sales are reported on a particular day, the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked quotations at the close of the exchanges will generally be used. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When adjustments to observable prices are applied or when the market is considered inactive, securities will be categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in money market mutual funds are generally priced at the ending net asset value provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as level 1 securities.
Fixed-income securities such as corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, U.S. government and agency securities, sovereign bonds, municipal bonds and commercial paper are typically valued based on valuations published by an independent pricing service, which uses various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Factors considered by pricing services include market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit spreads and fundamental analytical data relating to the issuer. Short-term investments in fixed-income securities (those with remaining maturities of 60 days or less) are generally valued on an amortized cost basis. Fixed-income securities will generally be categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances where lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in level 3.
Where market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable, a value is determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Funds’ Board. When determining the value of a security, consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, which includes factors such as fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, which may include consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue, nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition of the security and an evaluation of forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased or sold. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security.
SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME - Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method for both book and tax purposes. Gains and losses on paydowns of asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are reflected in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Income and capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which are accrued as applicable, and have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state, or region. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.
EXPENSES - Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributed to it. Expenses that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are generally allocated among the Funds in proportion to the relative sizes of the Funds.
SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED OR DELAYED-DELIVERY BASIS - Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. When-issued securities are securities purchased with delivery to occur at a later date at a stated price and/or yield, thereby involving the risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those available in the market when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. Each Fund designates and maintains cash and marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities.

May 31, 2019 |
LINE OF CREDIT - The Funds have established an unsecured line of credit (“LOC”) with U.S. Bank N.A. which expires November 8, 2019, used primarily to finance redemption payments. Each individual Fund’s borrowing under the LOC is limited to 5% of the value of that Fund’s net assets, 33.33% of the value of the Fund’s investments, or any explicit borrowing limits imposed by the LOC, whatever is less. Interest is charged at the prime rate, which was 5.50% as of May 31, 2019. As of May 31, 2019, the limits established are: LargeCap Fund - $6,000,000, MidCap Fund - $2,300,000 and Bond Fund - $145,000,000. All terms and borrowing limits imposed by the LOC are subject to review and approval by the Funds’ Board. The following table shows the average balance, average interest rate, interest expense, and maximum borrowings incurred by the Funds on the LOC for the six-month period ended May 31, 2019.

USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS - Under the Funds’ organizational documents, each Director, officer, employee or other agent of the Funds (including the Funds’ investment advisor) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believe the risk of loss to be remote.
PERMANENT BOOK AND TAX DIFFERENCES - GAAP requires that permanent financial reporting and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified in the capital accounts.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and realized gains on securities for the LargeCap Fund and MidCap Fund normally are declared at least annually. Bond Fund distributions to shareholders from net investment income normally are declared on a quarterly basis, and distributions to shareholders from realized gains on securities normally are declared at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - No provision has been made for federal income taxes since the Funds have elected to be taxed as regulated investment companies and intend to distribute substantially all income to shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES - As of and during the six-month ended May 31, 2019, the Funds did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Also, the Funds recognized no interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits during the same period. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the Funds’ financial statements. Other than as described in note 5, there were no additional subsequent events which were deemed to have an impact on the Funds’ financial statements.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATIVE AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Investment Advisory Agreement pursuant to which Thompson Investment Management, Inc. (“TIM” or “Advisor”) is retained by the Funds provides for monthly compensation to TIM computed on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
| | First | | Over |
| | $50 Million | | $50 Million |
LargeCap Fund | | 1.00% | | 0.90% |
MidCap Fund | | 1.00% | | 0.90% |
Bond Fund | | 0.65% | | 0.60% |
The Advisor is contractually bound to waive management fees and/or reimburse expenses incurred by the Funds through March 31, 2020 so that the annual operating expenses of the Funds do not exceed the following percentages of their respective average daily net assets: LargeCap Fund - 1.03%, MidCap Fund - 1.15% and Bond Fund - 0.80%. For the six-month period ended May 31, 2019, the Advisor reimbursed expenses incurred by the LargeCap Fund and the MidCap Fund in the amounts of $120,665 and $80,190, respectively. The Funds are not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for any fees or expenses waived in previous fiscal years.
As of May 31, 2019, affiliated shareholders held 22.36% of the MidCap Fund’s outstanding shares. Transactions by the shareholders may have a material impact on the Fund.
Pursuant to an Administrative and Accounting Services Agreement, TIM maintains the Funds’ financial records in accordance with the 1940 Act, prepares all necessary financial statements of the Funds and calculates the net asset value per share of the Funds on a daily basis. As compensation for its services, each Fund pays TIM a fee computed daily and payable monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets up to $30 million, 0.10% of the next $70 million of average daily net assets and 0.025% of average daily net assets in excess of $100 million, with an annual minimum fee of $30,000 per Fund. The calculations of daily net asset value are subcontracted to U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, resulting in fees paid by TIM for the six-month period ended May 31, 2019, in the following amounts:
| | Administrative & |
| | Accounting Fees Paid |
LargeCap Fund | | | $20,461 | |
MidCap Fund | | | $18,524 | |
Bond Fund | | | $169,572 | |
The Funds reimburse the Advisor for a portion of amounts paid by the Advisor out of the Advisor’s own resources under various shareholder, account maintenance, networking and other services provided to the Funds by broker-dealers and other intermediaries. The amount reimbursed by the Funds is equal to (1) for those accounts maintained through a shareholder servicing arrangement, an annual rate of no more than 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the omnibus accounts in the Funds for which all broker-dealers and other intermediaries, in the aggregate, are responsible, and (2) for those accounts maintained through a networking arrangement, no more than $6 per year per account in the Funds for which the broker-dealers and other intermediaries are responsible; provided however, in all cases only one of these fees shall be applicable to the assets in an account. This amount has been determined by the Funds’ Board to approximate (or not to exceed) the transfer agency fees that would otherwise have been payable by the Funds if such broker-dealers and intermediaries did not maintain these accounts. Such amounts are recorded within Shareholder servicing costs on each Fund’s Statement of Operations. For the six-month period ended May 31, 2019, the amounts reimbursed by the Funds to the Advisor were:
| | Intermediary |
| | Fees Reimbursed |
LargeCap Fund | | | $10,481 | |
MidCap Fund | | | $1,629 | |
Bond Fund | | | $545,897 | |
