Message from the Chief Investment Officer
Dear Shareholder:
Much like last year, the final quarter of 2014 provided most of the performance for the entire year. This was particularly true for the Standard and Poor’s SmallCap 600 Index®(a) (“S&P 600”) which rose 9.85% during the quarter, pushing it into positive territory for the entire year. The larger cap issues, as highlighted by the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index®(b) (“S&P 500”), gained almost 5% for the quarter driving the index to exceed the other major indices with an annual return of 13.69%. Beset by currency and economic woes, the international equity markets as characterized by the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index(c) (“MSCI-EAFE”), fell in both the fourth quarter of 2014 and the entire year.
With this backdrop of mixed results, the managers of the Huntington Funds have characterized this past year as one that experienced a number of transitions. These transitions evoked both positive and negative perceptions within the investment community and, as a result, short-term volatility increased as investors tried to figure out the most attractive or prudent courses. The markets and economy have had to adjust to six very significant changes during the year.
First and probably foremost, is the decision by the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) to cease its six year quantitative easing monetary policy. This was of concern to some investors as liquidity provided by the Fed has served as a stimulus to the equity markets and to the economy, especially in certain sectors such as housing. The second impactful change was to the make-up of Congress, which shifted stronger control to the Republican Party as a result of the November elections. This could affect budgetary, regulatory and defense issues as the new majority deals with the Administration over the next two years. The third alteration of course was the assumption of a more bellicose attitude by Russia in its dealings with the West. Since 1989 and the fall of the Berlin Wall, the former components of the Soviet Union have moved more closely in alignment with the West in commerce and politics. This took a radical turn as conflict escalated within Ukraine and sanctions were imposed upon Russia.
The U.S. Dollar was also a highlight in 2014 as its surprising strength helped contain inflation and will probably make it more difficult to sell U.S. manufactured goods overseas. The year also marked the first time the U.S. has become energy independent, could export petroleum products and exceeded the actual production of Saudi Arabia. The resulting reduction of cost at the pump has become a boon to U.S. consumers. In our opinion, perhaps the most significant issue in 2014 was the most subtle. The perception of robotics in the workplace has been well established in manufacturing over the past few years. It is, however, remarkable that in this past year the use of drones and robots of various types became acceptable in the service and consumer sectors. This phenomenon may lay the ground work for a rapid expansion of robotics in daily life. While the long term implications of robotics in the work place and in the home may include the acceptance of a higher intrinsic level of unemployment, there will likely be an explosion of investor interest much like the halcyon days of the dot-com era with frequent Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and significant technological breakthroughs.
It will be an interesting first quarter of 2015 for investors who will need to assess these transitions and how they will affect their investment strategies. Our experienced investment team of fund managers will strive to provide our own interpretations of these influences and chart a course that takes advantage of the forthcoming opportunities. As a business practice within Huntington Asset Advisors, we are continuously evaluating products and growth opportunities. In 2014, Huntington Funds made a strategic decision to close some of its funds with lower asset sizes in order to focus on a select group of core funds. We believe this

action will strengthen our position and allow us to continue to generate growth and meet the investment needs of our shareholders. We are committed to the ongoing success of Huntington Funds and leveraging the expertise of our fund managers.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Managers:
Kirk Mentzer, MBA
Director of Fund Research
Peter Sorrentino, CFA
Senior Vice President
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Huntington Dividend Capture Fund’s (“Fund”) Institutional Shares and Class A Shares produced total returns (not including the deduction of applicable sales charges) of 9.59% and 9.45%, respectively, based on net asset value. The Fund underperformed relative to the 12.36% total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Value Index® (“S&P 500 Value”)(a), its benchmark, and the 13.69% return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index® (“S&P 500” )(a), its previous benchmark for the same period. The Fund’s Class A Shares underperformed the benchmark by 2.91% for the same period. The Fund underperformed relative to the 16.74% total return of the Dividend Capture Indices Blend (“DCIB”)(b) for the same period.
The Fund is managed using our top-down style and portfolio construction techniques, which are aimed at producing a high level of stable income and low volatility by investing in three distinct asset classes highlighted below:
| • | | Value-Style Common Stocks: Domestic equity market returns were nearly zero for the year in early October, but managed to rally during the fourth quarter to produce strong gains for all of 2014. Seasonal factors, improving economic growth (U.S.), low inflation, plentiful liquidity, and plummeting oil prices and bond yields all factored prominently into rising stock markets. Stocks as measured by the S&P 500 Value ended the year with a 12.36% total return. The Fund was overweight common stocks for the entire period versus the DCIB unmanaged custom index. Within this class, sector allocation subtracted 83 basis points and security selection detracted 388 basis points from performance. As a result, the common stocks in the Fund underperformed the overall market. The Fund’s common stock total return for 2014 was 7.07%, trailing the S&P 500 Value return for the year. The three largest positive contributors to performance were: Intel Corp. (+0.73%), Cisco Systems, Inc. (+0.72%) and CSX Corp. (+0.48%). The three largest detractors were: Noble Corp. PLC (-0.70%), Marathon Oil Corp. (-0.32%) and Peabody Energy Corp. (-0.31%). |
| • | | Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)(c): Falling interest rates helped propel REIT markets in 2014, making them the best performing asset class. The Fund’s REIT holdings produced a total return of 26.13% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which slightly underperformed the benchmark NAREIT Index total return of 27.20% for the same period. The three largest positive contributors to performance were: HCP, Inc. (+2.83%), Kimco Realty Corp. (+2.79%) and Camden Property Trust (+2.06%). The three largest detractors were: Hospitality Properties Trust (-0.05%), Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust (-0.02%) and Healthcare Realty Trust, Inc. (-0.01%). |
| • | | Preferred Stocks(d): Declining yields, likewise, gave preferred stocks a tail wind for the year, making the class second best performing asset class of the Fund. The Fund’s preferred stocks holdings produced a total return of 17.33%, which outperformed the benchmark, BofA Merrill Lynch Fixed Rate Preferred Securities Index, total return of 15.44%. The three largest positive contributors to performance were: BB&T Corp., 5.85% (+0.38%), PS Business Parks, Inc., Series S, 6.45% (+0.33%) and Charles Schwab Corp., Series B, 6.00% (+0.32%). The three largest underperforming issues were: Ameriprise Financial, Inc., 7.75 % (+0.01%), Vornado Realty LP 7.875% (+0.01%) and NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, Inc., Series F, 8.75% (Called at 100) (0.00%), which were sold during the year. |
The composition of the Fund’s holdings is subject to change.

Dividend Capture Fund (Continued)
(a) | Effective 11/18/2014, the Dividend Capture Fund’s benchmark was updated from the S&P 500 Index® to the S&P 500 Value Index® as it was determined to more closely reflect the investment strategy of the Fund. The S&P 500 Index® is an unmanaged index generally representing the performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The S&P 500 Value Index® is an unmanaged market-capitalization-weighted index consisting of those stocks within the S&P 500 Index® that exhibit strong value characteristics. It uses a numerical ranking system based on four value factors and three growth factors to determine the constituents and their weightings |

Global Select Markets Fund | | As of December 31, 2014 |
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Managers:
Paul W. Attwood, CFA
Senior Vice President
Martina Cheung, CFA, MBA
Vice President
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Huntington Global Select Markets Fund’s (“Fund”) Institutional Shares and Class A Shares reported total returns (not including the deduction of applicable sales charges) of 1.31% and 1.13%, respectively, based on net asset value. The Fund outperformed relative to the (2.19)% total return of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (“MSCI-EM”)(a), its benchmark, for the same time period. The Fund’s Class A Shares outperformed the benchmark by 3.32% for the same period.
Although the MSCI-EM reported a negative total return in 2014, there were some very strong performances by individual countries. The Fund was able to outperform its benchmark by being overweight in some of these areas, such as India and Indonesia. In addition, the Fund had no exposure to Russia which experienced a collapse of both their equity market and currency. A substantial underweight in Brazil also contributed to the strong relative performance.
Energy and Material stocks were particularly weak. The Fund had very little exposure to these sectors. The Fund had a significant overweight in Healthcare, which was the best performing sector throughout 2014. Stock selection added to the relative outperformance of the Fund, relative to its benchmark. The three holdings that had the largest positive contribution to the Fund’s performance were KCE Electronics, Amara Raja Batteries and ICICI Bank Ltd. Collectively these holdings added 3.83% to the Fund’s return. The three holdings that had the largest negative contribution to the Fund’s return were LPP S.A., Kingsoft Corp. and Supermax Corp. These three holdings subtracted 2.12% from the Fund’s return and were all sold before the end of the year.
On December 19, 2014, Huntington International Equity Fund was merged into the Huntington Global Select Markets Fund. As we headed into year-end activities, the Fund retained some of the holdings from the International Equity Fund. The Fund’s December 31, 2014 Portfolio of Investments reflects these combined positions. The Fund’s portfolio is now being fully positioned to provide investors with exposure to what we consider to be the most attractive markets in the world, in a risk managed portfolio. As we begin 2015, we are targeting those countries that we believe display positive and improving fiscal and monetary policies and other key attributes that are essential to solid long-term performance.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Managers:
Peter Sorrentino, CFA
Senior Vice President
Paul Attwood, CFA
Senior Vice President
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Huntington Real Strategies Fund’s (“Fund”) Institutional Shares and Class A Shares produced total returns (not including the deduction of applicable sales charges) of (15.03)% and (15.23)%, respectively, based upon net asset value. The Fund outperformed relative to the (33.05)% total return of the Standard & Poor’s Goldman Sachs Commodity Index® (“S&P GSCI”)(a), its benchmark, for the same period. The Fund’s Class A Shares outperformed its benchmark by 17.82%.
Thanks to the relatively stable pricing of natural gas during 2014, the Fund achieved returns that significantly outperformed its benchmark. With a number of natural gas liquefaction facilities nearing completion, the prospect of exporting low cost North American natural gas to the world market produced solid gains for companies such as Cheniere Energy (+63%) and Magellan Midstream Partners (+30%). Unfortunately, the confluence of a decade of over-investment along with slowing global growth and a rising U.S. Dollar drove virtually all other commodity prices down. At some point in 2014, every traded commodity, with the exception of gold, suffered at least a 25% price decline. Nowhere was this more evident than in the share prices of commodity driven economies, where the Fund’s investment in Canadian Oil Sands fell 52% and in Brazilian miner Vale S.A. lost 46%.
Efforts to insulate the Fund from these negative price actions contributed significantly to the outperformance relative to the benchmark. The covered call writing on the Fund’s holdings generated incremental return, as did the downside hedging through the purchase of put options on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index® and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. The Fund continued to employ the purchase of forward volatility through call options on the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index as another means of mitigating negative price action. The Fund disposed of two of its direct real estate holdings, the Scott’s Gahanna property and its interest in the BB&T office tower in Winston-Salem, North Carolina during the fourth quarter.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Managers:
Randy Bateman, CFA
Chief Investment Officer
Kirk Mentzer, MBA
Director of Fund Research
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Huntington Situs Fund’s (“Fund”) Institutional Shares and Class A Shares produced total returns (not including the deduction of applicable sales charges) of (1.41)% and (1.62)%, respectively, based upon net asset value. The Fund underperformed relative to the 5.76% total return of the Standard and Poor’s SmallCap 600 Index® (“S&P 600”)(a), its benchmark, and the 9.77% total return of the Standard and Poor’s MidCap 400 Index® (“S&P 400”)(b) for the same period. The Fund’s Class A shares underperformed the benchmark by (7.38)%.
Prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, the Huntington Mid Corp America Fund was merged into the Fund adding close to $200 million to the size of the Fund and providing an opportunity to reduce the Fund’s expense ratio. Much of the portfolio structure underperformance was as a result of the integration of the Huntington Mid Corp America Fund as its capitalization had always been benchmarked to the Mid Cap marketplace. The Fund’s underperformance was primarily the result of certain stocks that fell along with the drop in the price of oil. With overproduction and a commitment by OPEC to maintain current production levels, oil prices fell precipitously during the final quarter of 2014, and GeoSpace Technologies and Carbo Ceramics were both heavily impacted by the energy price change.
One of the major drivers of performance from a stock selection perspective was TASER International, Inc. (“TASER”), which added 1.96% to the Fund’s performance for the 4th quarter and had been a minor holding until early autumn. The Fund made a major commitment to the holding following the events in Ferguson, Missouri. In the aftermath of the incident, a large number of police departments made commitments to TASER’s body cameras. This was duplicated internationally and the stock rose accordingly. Currently, the company is the largest single holding of the Fund. In addition to TASER, four other companies moved into the top ten holdings of the Fund. Watts Water, South State Bank, Sanderson Farms and Tyler Technologies were among the major structural changes in the Fund’s efforts to expand into earnings driven corporations for the coming quarters.
The markets in 2014 were primarily impacted by activities surrounding the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System (“Fed”), international turmoil, the Ebola virus scare and the change in Congressional makeup as a result of the November 2014 elections. The Fed ended its quantitative easing monetary policy in October and the markets handled the news in stride. In fact, much of the performance of the markets for the entire year occurred following the Fed’s withdrawal from its bond purchase program. This was particularly evident in the S&P 600, which was down 3.74% for the first nine months of the year then recovered with a 9.83% rebound in the fourth quarter, allowing the index to increase 5.76% for the entire year.

Balanced Allocation Fund | | As of December 31, 2014 |
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Manager:
Randy Bateman, CFA
Chief Investment Officer
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Huntington Balanced Allocation Fund’s (“Fund”) Class A Shares produced a total return (not including the deduction of applicable sales charges) of 2.05% based upon net asset value. The Fund underperformed relative to the 13.69% total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index® (“S&P 500”)(a), its benchmark, and the 10.60% total return of the Balanced Allocation Indices Blend (“BAIB”)(b) for the same period.
Contributing to the performance was the Fund’s exposure of 57.3% in growth assets, 19.5% in income focused securities and 22.2% in stable assets. At year end, the Fund was balanced with exposure to the Federated Short-Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund at 7.2%(c) of net assets, the Huntington Global Select Markets Fund at 15.0%(c) of net assets and the Huntington Dividend Capture Fund, at 9.5%(c) of net assets. Other levels of exposure included the Huntington EcoLogical Strategy ETF at 12.7%(c) of net assets, the Huntington US Equity Rotation Strategy ETF at 11.6%(c) of net assets and the Huntington Situs Fund at 8.5%(c) of net assets. Other fixed income exposures included the Federated Total Return Government Bond Fund at 7.2%(c) of net assets and the Federated Mortgage Fund at 5.1%(c) of net assets. During the last days of 2014, the Fund was reallocated and the money market fund position was larger than traditionally maintained. Overall, the Fund was extremely diversified and reflected the market expectations of the Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc.
During much of the year, the Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”) continued its strategy of maintaining an extremely easy monetary policy through quantitative easing (“QE”). In October, however, the Fed ceased the formal QE program and, despite fears of a market reversal, investors took the change in stride. In fact, most of the equity markets improved significantly in the fourth quarter. Stocks continued to build on their five year rally as Fed liquidity and the economic recovery led to higher corporate profits and continued optimism by investors. It was against this backdrop that the Fund maintained a moderate exposure to risk-based securities and rebalanced cash into equities. During the year, substantial changes were effected to adjust the asset allocation to match the opportunities that the markets presented.

Conservative Allocation Fund | | As of December 31, 2014 |
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Manager:
Randy Bateman, CFA
Chief Investment Officer
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Huntington Conservative Allocation Fund’s (“Fund”) Class A Shares produced a total return (not including the deduction of applicable sales charges) of (0.12)% based upon net asset value. The Fund underperformed relative to the 5.97% total return of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (“BUSAI”)(a), its benchmark, and underperformed relative to the 7.51% total return for the Conservative Allocation Indices Blend (“CAIB”)(b) for the same period.
The Fund’s investment in the Huntington World Income Fund, sold in Q4, detracted from performance during the year. Despite the underperformance to the benchmark index, the Fund maintained relatively larger exposure to the equity markets, which enjoyed a strong fourth quarter, later in the year and could set the Fund up for better performance as we begin 2015. At year end, the Fund was balanced with exposure to the Federated Total Return Bond Fund at 14.1%(c) of net assets, the Federated Short-Intermediate Total Return Bond Fund with 14.1%(c) of net assets and the Federated Mortgage Fund, at 9.8%(c) of net assets. The largest growth components were a 10.8%(c) of net assets to the Huntington Global Select Markets Fund, 6.6%(c) of net assets to the Huntington Dividend Capture Fund and exposure to both the Huntington Ecological Strategy ETF and the Huntington U.S. Equity Rotation Strategy ETF for a combined 9.9%(c) of net assets. There was a rebalancing that occurred at year end that resulted in a heavier exposure to money markets funds. Those funds were allocated to the fixed income portion of the portfolio. For those reasons, the Fund maintained a beta(d) of only 0.6 at year-end.
During much of the year, the Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”) continued its strategy of maintaining an extremely easy monetary policy through quantitative easing (“QE”). In October, however, the Fed ceased the formal QE program and, despite fears of a market reversal, investors took the change in stride. In fact, most of the equity markets improved significantly in the fourth quarter and bond portfolios fared better than expected. Extremely low international interest rates prevailed as worldwide economies were virtually inflation-free and central banks were willing to provide liquidity. Stocks continued to build on their five year rally as Fed liquidity and the economic recovery led to higher corporate profits and continued optimism by investors. It was against this backdrop that the manager of the Fund maintained its exposure to risk-based securities. During the year substantial changes were effected to adjust the asset allocation to match the opportunities that the markets presented.

Contributing to the Fund’s performance was its exposure of 77.7% to growth assets, 10.4% to income focused securities and 11.6% to stable assets. At year end, the Fund was balanced with exposure to the Huntington Global Select Markets Fund at 21.2%(c) of net assets, and the Huntington EcoLogical Strategy ETF which constituted 16.2%(c) of net assets.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
The Huntington Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a single Delaware statutory trust on June 23, 2006. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of December 31, 2014, the Trust operated 12 separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objective and strategy. This report contains financial statements and financial highlights of the retail funds listed below (individually referred to as a “Fund,” or collectively as the “Funds”):
| | |
Funds | | Investment Share Classes Offered* |
Huntington Money Market Fund (“Money Market Fund”) | | Institutional, A & Interfund** |
Huntington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (“U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund”) | | Institutional & A |
Huntington Dividend Capture Fund (“Dividend Capture Fund”) | | Institutional, A & C |
Huntington Global Select Markets Fund (“Global Select Markets Fund”) | | Institutional & A |
Huntington Real Strategies Fund (“Real Strategies Fund”) | | Institutional & A |
Huntington Situs Fund (“Situs Fund”) | | Institutional, A & C |
Huntington Balanced Allocation Fund (“Balanced Allocation Fund”) | | A |
Huntington Conservative Allocation Fund (“Conservative Allocation Fund”) | | A |
Huntington Growth Allocation Fund (“Growth Allocation Fund”) | | A |
* | Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to distribution (12b-1) and service fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, exchange privileges of each class of shares and sales charges. The price at which the Funds will offer or redeem shares is the net asset value (“NAV”) per share next determined after the order is considered received, subject to any applicable front end or contingent deferred sales charges. Class A shares have a maximum sales charge on purchases of 4.75% as a percentage of the original purchase price. Class C shares have a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% on shares sold within one year of purchase. The Money Market Fund and the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (collectively the “Money Market Funds”) do not have sales charges on purchases. |
** | As of December 31, 2014, the Interfund shares are available for purchase; however the balance remains zero. |
The prospectus provides a description of each Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered.
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 Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust
may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
On December 19, 2014, the Global Select Markets Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Huntington International Equity Fund (“International Equity Fund”) pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) on September 22, 2014. The reorganization provides shareholders of the International Equity Fund access to a larger and more diversified portfolio with a similar investment strategy and lower expenses. The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders.
The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 2,618,940 Institutional Class shares of the Global Select Markets Fund (valued at $24,958,498) for 3,641,716 Institutional Class shares of the International Equity Fund and 690,613 Class A shares of the Global Select Markets Fund (valued at $6,560,828) for 980,223 Class A shares of the International Equity Fund, each outstanding on December 19, 2014. The investment portfolio of the International Equity Fund, with a fair value of $27,128,665 and identified cost of $21,876,394 was the principal asset acquired by the Global Select Markets Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Global Select Markets Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the identified cost of the investments received from the International Equity Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Global Select Markets Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of the Global Select Markets Fund immediately before the acquisition were $7,795,589. The aggregate net assets of the International Equity Fund at that date of $31,519,326, including $5,199,907 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the Global Select Markets Fund, resulting in combined aggregate net assets of $39,314,915.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Global Select Markets Fund, the Global Select Markets Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, are as follows:
| | | | |
Net Investment Income | | $ | 2,611,201 | |
Net Realized and Unrealized Loss on Investments | | ($ | 13,305,478 | ) |
Net Decrease in Net Assets Resulting From Operations | | ($ | 10,694,277 | ) |

(2) | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds are each an investment company and each follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust calculates the NAV for each of the Funds (other than the Money Market Funds) by valuing securities held based on 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.
For the Money Market Funds, the Trust attempts to stabilize the NAV per share at $1.00 per share by valuing portfolio securities using the amortized cost method, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, premium or discount, if any, is amortized or accreted, respectively, on a constant (straight-line) basis to the maturity of the security.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds’ investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. |
• | | Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
• | | Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Trust recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
In computing the NAV of the Funds, other than the Money Market Funds, fair value is based on market valuations with respect to portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available. Pursuant to Trustee-approved policies, the Trust relies on certain security pricing services to provide the current market value of securities. Those security pricing services value equity securities (including foreign equity securities, exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds) traded on a securities exchange at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. Equity securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and in the case of over-the-counter securities, equity securities are valued at a bid price estimated by the security pricing service. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Option contracts are generally valued using the closing price based on quote data from the six major U.S. options exchanges on which such options are traded which are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Debt securities traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and for all other debt securities, debt securities are valued at a bid price estimated by the security pricing service. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated in U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. Short-term investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase may be valued at amortized cost. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value under Trust procedures approved by the Trustees. In these cases, a Pricing Committee established and appointed by the Trustees determines in good faith, subject to Trust procedures, the fair value of portfolio securities held by a Fund (“good faith fair valuation”). When a good faith fair valuation of a security is required, consideration is generally given to a number of factors including, but not limited to the following: dealer quotes, published analyses by dealers or analysts regarding the security, transactions which provide implicit valuation of the security (such as a merger or tender offer transaction), the value of other securities or contracts which derive their value from the security at issue, and the implications of any other circumstances which have caused trading in the security to halt.

respect to certain categories of securities, the procedures utilized by the Pricing Committee detail specific valuation methodologies to be applied in lieu of considering the aforementioned list of factors. Depending on the source and relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair valuation procedures are also used when a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which is when each Fund’s NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Significant events include significant securities market movements occurring between the time the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For domestic fixed income securities, such events may occur where the cut-off time for the market information used by the independent pricing service is earlier than the end of regular trading on the NYSE. For securities normally priced at their last sale price in a foreign market, such events can occur between the close of trading in the foreign market and the close of trading on the NYSE.
In some cases, events affecting the issuer of a portfolio security may be considered significant events. Examples of potentially significant events include announcements concerning earnings, acquisitions, new products, management changes, litigation developments, a strike or natural disaster affecting the company’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For securities of foreign issuers, such events could also include political or other
developments affecting the economy or markets in which the issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded.
There can be no assurance that a Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. In the case of good faith fair valued portfolio securities, lack of information and uncertainty as to the significance of information may lead to a conclusion that a prior valuation is the best indication of a portfolio security’s present value. Good faith fair valuations generally remain unchanged until new information becomes available. Consequently, changes in good faith fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations.
The Trustees have authorized the use of an independent fair valuation service. If the movement in a designated U.S. market index, after foreign markets close, is greater than predetermined levels, the Funds may use a systematic valuation model provided from that independent third party to fair value its international equity securities. Securities which are fair value according to this model are then typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
In accordance with the valuation procedures adopted by the Trustees, real estate investments are fair valued using the results of an appraisal conducted by an independent valuation agent on the property(ies) underlying investment, as adjusted by any outstanding debt related to the property(ies). The Trustees deem this to be indicative of the fair value of the real estate investments. Such valuations are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Prior to May 2014, real estate investments were valued by applying a discounted cash flows model to establish the fair value of each investment.

Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 are due to significant movement of a designated U.S. market index, triggering a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party to fair value the international equity securities at reporting period end. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 indicate that the fair valuation of international equity securities used at the previous reporting period end did not occur as of the current reporting period end.
The Trust recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The following is a summary of the transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for the year ended December 31, 2014:

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Real Strategies Fund’s Level 3 investments as of December 31, 2014:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Type of Assets | | Fair Value At 12/31/2014 | | | Valuation Techniques | | Unobservable Input(s) | | Range (Weighted Average) | |
Real Estate Investments | | $ | 1,713,390 | | | Independent Valuation | | Sales Comparison Approach | | | N/A | |
| | | | | | | | Income Approach | | | N/A | |
| | | | | | | | Market Cap Rate | | | 5.30%-13.60%(7.00%) | |
As noted previously, the Real Strategies Fund’s investments in real estate investments are valued by using the results of an independent valuation appraisal. The independent valuation agent will utilize either an income approach, a sales comparison approach, or a combination thereof to arrive at the valuation. The significant unobservable inputs used in the income approach include the net cash flow from each underlying property and the related discount and market cap rates. An increase in the cash flows and/or market cap rates or decreases in the discount rate used would increase the value of the real estate. A decrease in the cash flows and/or market cap rate or increases in the discount rate used would decrease the value of the real estate. The significant unobservable inputs used in the sales comparison approach include measurable units of comparison (such as price per acre, price per unit, price per square foot, or gross rent multiplier), as adjusted for each comparable property’s location, physical condition or other economic characteristics.

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker/dealers, which are deemed by Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc., a subsidiary of The Huntington National Bank, to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Trustees. It is the policy of the Funds to require the custodian bank to take possession of, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank’s vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement’s collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement transaction. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.
C. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange each business day to determine the value of investments, and other assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of foreign securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuation arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency transactions.
Certain of the Funds may be subject to equity price risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course
of pursuing their investment objectives. Certain of the Funds may invest in various financial instruments including positions in foreign currency contracts and written option contracts to gain exposure to or hedge against changes in the value of equities or foreign currencies. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Funds, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Foreign Exchange Contracts—Certain of the Funds may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts. A forward foreign exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Such contracts are used to sell unwanted currency exposure that comes with holding securities in a market, or to buy currency exposure where the exposure from holding securities is insufficient to provide the desired currency exposure. The contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a forward foreign currency contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Funds could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in exchange rates. As of December 31, 2014, the Funds did not have any forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding.
Written Options Contracts—Certain of the Funds may write options contracts for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. Investing in written options contracts exposes a Fund to equity price risk.

Balance | Sheet Offsetting Information |
Netting Agreements—During the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable netting agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows a Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral
received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreement. Generally, a Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of December 31, 2014, the Funds were not invested in any portfolio securities or derivatives that could be netted subject to the netting agreements.
The following tables provide a summary of offsetting financial liabilities and derivatives and the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2014.

Derivative positions open during the year and at year end, if any, are reflected for each Fund in the previous tables. The volume of these positions relative to each Fund’s net assets at the close of the reporting period is generally higher than the volume of such positions at the beginning of the reporting period. The Funds value derivative instruments at fair value and recognize changes in fair value currently in the results on operations.
To generate additional income, the Funds may lend a certain percentage of their total assets, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or the rules or regulations thereunder, on a short-term basis to certain brokers, dealers or other financial institutions pursuant to a
securities lending agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. In determining whether to lend to a particular broker, dealer or financial institution, Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the size, creditworthiness and reputation of the borrower. Any loans made will be continuously secured by collateral in cash at least equal to 100% of the value of the securities on loan for the Funds, based on the prior day’s closing price. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. The Funds receive payments from the borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities on

loan. In addition, the Funds lending securities receive an annual minimum securities lending fee and retain a portion of the interest, dividends and other distributions received on investment of cash collateral. Collateral is marked-to-market daily. One of the risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, is the possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. Although the loan is fully collateralized, if a borrower defaults, a Fund could lose money. There is also the risk that, when lending portfolio securities, the
securities may not be available to a Fund on a timely basis and a Fund may, therefore, lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. In addition, in the event that a borrower of securities would file for bankruptcy or become insolvent, disposition of the securities may be delayed pending court action. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”) serves as the custodian and receives an annual securities lending fee for collateral monitoring and recordkeeping services.
As of December 31, 2014, the following Funds had securities with the following market values on loan and related activity for the year ended December 31, 2014:

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid. The Funds will not incur any registration costs upon such resale. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value price as determined by the Trust’s Pricing Committee. As of December 31, 2014, the Real Strategies Fund and the Money Market Fund held restricted securities representing 5.5% and 5.1%, respectively, of net assets as listed below:

G. | Security Transactions and Related Income |
During the period, investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities. Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends, less foreign tax withholding (if any), are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
H. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders |
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly by the Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually by the Global Select Markets Fund, Real Strategies Fund, Situs Fund and Growth Allocation Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly by the Balanced Allocation Fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly by the Dividend Capture Fund and Conservative Allocation Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with the federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. tax treatment of foreign currency gain/loss, non-deductible stock issuance costs, distributions and income received from pass through investments and net investment loss adjustments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary differences are primarily due to market discounts, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales, straddles and return of capital from investments.
Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually.
Certain of the Funds may own shares of real estate investments trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
Certain of the Funds may invest in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), which generally are treated as partnerships for Federal income tax purposes. As a limited
partner in the MLPs, the Fund includes its allocable share of the MLPs’ taxable income in computing its own taxable income.
I. | Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses |
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses specific to a class are charged to that class. Except for the daily dividend Funds, expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionally among various Funds or all Funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. For the daily dividend Funds, expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated pursuant to the “settled shares method.” Income and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify or 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.
Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains with respect to the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
As of December 31, 2014, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Tax Cost of Securities | | | Unrealized Appreciation | | | Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)(a) | |

Growth Allocation Fund | | | 12,945,508 | | | | 1,571,523 | | | | (680,293 | ) | | | 891,230 | |
(a) | The differences between the book-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are attributable primarily to: tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the tax treatment of Trust Preferred securities, hybrid securities and Grantor trusts, differences related to partnership investments, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on investments in passive foreign investment companies, the utilization of earnings and profits due to shareholder redemptions and the return of capital adjustments from real estate investment trusts. |

As of December 31, 2014, for federal income tax purposes and the treatment of distributions payable, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations:

(a) | The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. The provisions of the Act were effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be utilized. Under the Act, new capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss as compared with pre-enactment law, where capital losses could be carried forward for up to eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital losses, irrespective of the character of the original loss. |
(b) | Future utilization is limited under current tax law. |
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the following Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards and had capital loss carryforwards expire:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Utilized Amount | | | Expired Amount | |
Money Market Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | 921 | |
Real Strategies Fund | | | 3,771,959 | | | | — | |
Situs Fund | | | 550,102 | | | | — | |
Certain capital and qualified late year losses incurred after October 31 and within the current taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds’ following taxable year. For the tax year ended December 31, 2014, the Funds deferred post October capital and late year ordinary losses as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Capital Losses | | | Late Year Ordinary Losses | |
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | | $ | 3,401 | | | $ | — | |
Balanced Allocation Fund | | | 303,120 | | | | — | |
Conservative Allocation Fund | | | 107,473 | | | | | |
Growth Allocation Fund | | | 117,619 | | | | — | |
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
(3) | Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates |
Investment Advisory Fee—Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a subsidiary of The Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”), serves as the Funds’ investment adviser. The Advisor receives a fee for its services, computed daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets on a tiered basis, according to the table below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Tiered Annual Rate: | |

The U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund pays the Advisor a fee of 0.20% of its average daily net assets, computed daily and paid monthly. Each of Balanced Allocation Fund, Conservative Allocation Fund and Growth Allocation Fund pays the Advisor a fee of 0.10% of its average daily net assets, computed daily and paid monthly.
Huntington and the Advisor may also pay out of their reasonable profits and other resources (including those of their affiliates) advertising, marketing, and other expenses for the benefit of the Funds.
The Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund are subject to a fee waiver and expense
reimbursement agreement with the Advisor whereby the Advisor has agreed to waive fees or reimburse expenses in amounts necessary to maintain a minimum yield of 0.01% for the Money Market Fund and the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund. The Money Market Funds have agreed to repay amounts that were waived or reimbursed by the Advisor for a period up to three years after such waiver or reimbursement was made to the extent that such repayments would not cause the yield of the Money Market Funds to decrease below their applicable minimum yield.
The Advisor has agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee for the following funds (based on average daily net assets) to which it is otherwise entitled to receive and/or to reimburse certain operating expenses in order to limit each Fund’s total annual fund expenses (after fee waivers, and/or expense reimbursements, and exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends, and extraordinary expenses) (“Expense Cap”) to the following (prior to April 30, 2014, each Fund’s Expense Cap included the acquired fund fees and expenses):

(5) | Balanced Allocation Fund, Conservative Allocation Fund and Growth Allocation Fund Structure |
Balanced Allocation Fund, Conservative Allocation Fund and Growth Allocation Fund (“Investing Funds”), in accordance with their prospectus, seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) with similar investment objectives. As a result, investors in the Investing Funds incur expenses of both the Investing Funds and Underlying Funds, including transaction costs related to the purchases and sales of Underlying Fund shares.
(6) | Investment Transactions |
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 2014, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
Dividend Capture Fund | | $ | 241,352,116 | | | $ | 405,392,773 | |

There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government obligations during the year ended December 31, 2014.
(7) | Foreign Investment Risk |
Compared with investing in the United States, investing in foreign markets involves a greater degree and variety of risk. Investors in international or foreign markets may face delayed settlements, currency controls and adverse economic developments as well as higher overall transaction costs. In addition, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar’s value versus other currencies may erode or reverse gains from investments denominated in foreign currencies or widen losses. Foreign governments may expropriate assets, impose capital or currency controls, impose punitive taxes, impose limits on ownership or nationalize a company or industry. Any of these actions could have severe effect on security prices and impair the Fund’s ability to bring its capital or income back to the U.S. Exchange rate. Fluctuations also may impair an issuer’s ability to repay U.S. dollar denominated debt, thereby increasing credit risk of such debt. Finally, the value of foreign securities may be affected by incomplete, less frequent, or inaccurate financial information about their issuers, social upheavals or political actions ranging from tax code changes to government collapse. Foreign companies may also receive less coverage than U.S. companies by market analysts, and financial reporting standards or regulatory requirements may not be comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.

The Trust participates in a short-term credit agreement (“Line of Credit”) with Huntington. Prior to December 18, 2014, the Trust’s short-term credit agreement was with Citibank, N.A. Under the terms of the agreement, the Funds may borrow up to $30 million at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 135 basis points. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. Huntington receives an annual facility fee of 0.125% on $30 million as well as an additional annual fee of 0.125% on any unused portion of the credit facility for providing the Line of Credit. Each Fund in the Trust pays a pro-rata portion of this facility fee, and unused fee, plus any interest on amounts borrowed.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the Huntington Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Huntington Money Market Fund, Huntington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, Huntington Dividend Capture Fund, Huntington Global Select Markets Fund, Huntington Real Strategies Fund, Huntington Situs Fund, Huntington Balanced Allocation Fund, Huntington Conservative Allocation Fund, and Huntington Growth Allocation Fund (nine of the portfolios constituting The Huntington Funds, collectively referred to as the “Funds”), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2014 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Huntington Funds referred to above at December 31, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Examples
Fund Expenses— As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
Actual Expenses—The “Actual” lines of the table provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number
in the “Actual” 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 “Hypothetical” lines of the table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios for each class of shares and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Fund’s 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 Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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. Therefore, the “Actual” and “Hypothetical” lines of the table are 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.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES’ CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS FOR THE HUNTINGTON FUNDS (the “Funds”)
The Board of Trustees is responsible for determining whether to approve the Funds’ investment advisory agreements. At a meeting held on August 19, 2014, the Board unanimously approved the investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) between Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) and the Funds. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreements between the Advisor and the Funds, the Advisor provides advisory services to the Funds.
During the review process, the Board received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent legal counsel. In approving each of the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, considered many factors, the most significant of which were: (1) the nature of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor in relation to the advisory fees; (2) the individual performance of the Funds; (3) the Advisor’s costs and the profits realized through providing the Funds with advisory services; (4) whether the Advisor has realized or may realize economies of scale in providing services to the Funds and, if so, whether these economies are shared with the Funds; and (5) a comparison of the fees and performance of comparable funds.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services in Relation to the Advisory Fees—In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Board reviewed information relating to the Advisor’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Advisor provided descriptions of its organizational and management structure, biographical information on its supervisory and portfolio management staff on a fund-by-fund basis, and financial information. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Advisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Advisory Agreements. The Board determined that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, in relation to the advisory fees, were acceptable.
Individual Performance of the Funds—The Board reviewed the Funds’ short-term and long-term performance records and the Advisor’s management styles in relation to comparable funds and appropriate benchmarks. The Board noted that it reviews detailed information about the Funds’ performance on a quarterly basis. The Board also reviewed various comparative data for each of the Funds provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, including, among other information, each Fund’s performance compared to similar funds based on information provided by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) for the one-, three-, five and ten-year periods, as applicable, ending March 31, 2014, as well as each Fund’s performance compared to its benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year and since-inception periods, as applicable, ending March 31, 2014.
Advisor’s Costs and the Profits Realized Through Providing the Funds With Advisory Services—In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fees, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect, received by the Advisor and its affiliates attributable to managing each of the Funds individually, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees determined that the profitability of the Advisor was acceptable in relation to the nature and quality of services provided to the Funds. The Board took into consideration the Advisor’s agreement with the Trust with respect to the Huntington Real Strategies Fund and Huntington Situs Fund, whereby the Advisor agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee in order to limit each Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses through April 30, 2015. The Board also considered the Advisor’s agreement with the Trust with respect to the Huntington Dividend Capture Fund, whereby the Advisor agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee in order to limit the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses through April 30, 2016. The Board also considered the Advisor’s agreement with the Trust with respect to the Huntington Global
Annual Shareholder Report
76
Select Markets Fund, whereby the Advisor agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee in order to limit the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses through April 30, 2017. The Board also took into consideration the Advisor’s agreement with the Trust with respect to the Huntington Balanced Allocation Fund, Huntington Conservative Allocation Fund and Huntington Growth Allocation Fund (the “Allocation Funds”), whereby the Advisor agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fee in order to limit each Allocation Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses through April 30, 2015. In addition, the Board considered that, with respect to the Huntington Money Market Fund (“Money Market Fund”), the Advisor voluntarily agreed to waive or reimburse all or a portion of its advisory fee. The Board also considered that the Advisor entered into an agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Huntington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (“U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund”) whereby the Advisor agreed to waive or reimburse all or a portion of its advisory fee in order to limit the Fund’s total operating expenses through April 30, 2015. In addition, the Board considered the Advisor’s agreement with the Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, whereby the Advisor agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Funds to the extent necessary to ensure that Money Market Fund maintains a positive yield of at least 0.01% and that the U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund maintains a positive yield of at least 0.00%.
Economies of Scale in Providing Services to the Funds and Whether These Economies Are Shared With the Funds—The Board also considered the effect of the Funds’ growth and size on their performance and fees. The Board noted that, with the exception of the Allocation Funds and the Huntington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, all of the Funds’ Advisory Agreements reflect the implementation of investment advisory fee breakpoints for the Funds. The Board further noted that the administration fee charged to all Funds included fee breakpoints, which allowed the Funds to realize economies of scale as the assets of the Funds increased over time.
Comparison of the Fees and Performance of Comparable Funds—With respect to the Funds’ performance and fees, the Board considered comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board used Lipper peer group information provided by Strategic Insight, Inc. with respect to its comparable fee and performance analysis for the Funds. The Board considered that the data for the fee and performance analysis was generated on an aggregate portfolio level since not all Funds offer the same types of share classes. The Board noted that the Advisor does not provide services to other accounts. The Board also considered updated fee and expense information from management which reflected the impact of certain waivers and reimbursements.
Other Considerations—The Board also requests and receives substantial and detailed information about the Funds and the Advisor on a regular basis. The Advisor provides much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board and furnishes additional reports in connection with the Board’s formal review of the Advisory Agreements. The Board may also receive information between regular meetings relating to particular matters as the need arises. The Board’s evaluation of the Advisory Agreements is informed by reports covering such matters as: the Advisor’s investment philosophy, personnel, and processes; operating strategies; the Funds’ short- and long term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitive funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate) and comments on reasons for performance. The Board also considered reports concerning the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Funds’ portfolio securities; the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Funds by the Advisor and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports

77
Investment Contract Review Disclosure (Unaudited) (Continued)
concerning the Funds (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as the Advisor’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and the Advisor are responding to them.
The Board based its decision to approve the Advisory Agreements on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above are relevant to each of the Funds, nor does the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that are relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the Advisory Agreements reflects its determination that the Advisor’s performance and actions provide an acceptable basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.
While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decisions. In each case, the Board concluded that the Funds’ performance was acceptable and expenses were reasonable in light of the quality and nature of services provided by the Advisor and its affiliates.

The above expense ratio is from the Fund’s prospectus dated April 30, 2014. Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee (based on average daily net assets) and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary in order to limit the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (after the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, and exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends, and extraordinary expenses) to not more than 0.99% of the Fund’s daily net assets through April 30, 2015.
The graph above illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000(a) in the Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2014, compared to the S&P 500 Value, S&P 500 and DCIB.
The performance information does not include the charges and expenses imposed by the insurance company separate accounts or charges and expenses under the variable insurance product contracts. The inclusion of such charges would lower performance. Please refer to the variable insurance product prospectus for a complete listing of these expenses. Additional information pertaining to the Fund’s expense ratio as of December 31, 2014 can be found in the financial highlights. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, Fund shares were available only through variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies offered by participating insurance companies. Variable investment options are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.
(a) | The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The S&P 500 Value, S&P 500 and DCIB have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indices. |
| The composition of the Fund’s holdings is subject to change. |
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund (“Fund”) reported a total return of 10.16% based on net asset value. The Fund underperformed relative to the 12.36% total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Value Index® (“S&P 500 Value”)(b), its benchmark, and the 13.69% total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index® (“S&P 500”)(b), its previous benchmark for the same period. The Fund underperformed its benchmark by 2.20%. The Fund underperformed relative to the 16.74% total return of the Dividend Capture Indices Blend (“DCIB”)(c) for the same period.
The Fund is managed using our top-down style and portfolio construction techniques, which are aimed at producing a high level of stable income and low volatility by investing in three distinct asset classes highlighted below:
¢ | | Value-Style Common Stocks: Domestic equity market returns were nearly zero for the year in early October, but managed to rally during the fourth quarter to produce strong gains for all of 2014. Seasonal factors, improving economic growth (US), low inflation, plentiful liquidity and plummeting oil prices and bond yields all factored prominently into rising stock markets. Stocks as measured by the S&P 500 Value ended the year with a 12.36% total return. The Fund was overweight common stocks for the entire period versus the DCIB unmanaged custom index. Within this class, sector allocation subtracted 83 basis points and security selection detracted 299 basis points from performance. As a result, the common stocks in the Fund underperformed the overall market. The Fund’s common stock total return for 2014 was 7.84% trailing the S&P 500 Value for the year. The three largest positive contributors to performance were: Intel Corp. (+0.76%), Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (+0.72%) and Cisco Systems, Inc. (+0.70%). The three largest detractors were: Noble Corporation PLC (-0.66%), Marathon Oil Corp. (-0.40%) and International Business Machines Corp. (-0.36%). |
¢ | | Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)(d): Falling interest rates helped propel REIT markets in 2014, making them the best performing asset class. The Fund’s REIT holdings produced a total return of 26.77%, which slightly underperformed the benchmark NAREIT Index total return of 27.20%. The three largest positive contributors to performance were: Camden Property Trust (+2.55%), Lexington Realty Trust (+2.50%) and Highwoods Properties, Inc. (+2.42%). The three largest detractors were Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust (-0.05%), CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (-0.01%) and Healthcare Realty Trust Inc. (-0.01%), which were sold during the year. |
¢ | | Preferred Stocks(e): Declining yields likewise gave preferred stocks a tail wind for the year, making it second best performing asset class of the Fund. The Fund’s preferred share holdings produced a total return of 16.18%, which outperformed the benchmark BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Preferred Stock Fixed Rate Index total return of 15.44%. The three largest positive contributors to performance were: PS Business Parks, Series S, 6.45% (+0.42%), BB&T Corp., 5.85% (+0.38%) and Charles Schwab Corp., Series B, 6.00% (+0.37%). The three largest underperforming issues were: Vornado Realty LP, 7.875% (+0.01%), Ameriprise Financial, Inc., 7.75% (+0.01%) and NextEra Energy Capital Holdings, Inc., Series F, 8.75% (Called at 100%) (0.00%), which were sold during the year. |
Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for a variable investment option changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month end performance, contact your insurance company.
(b) | Effective 11/18/2014, the VA Dividend Capture Fund’s benchmark was updated from the S&P 500 Index® to the S&P 500 Value Index® as it was determined to more closely reflect the investment strategy of the Fund. The S&P 500 Index® is an unmanaged index generally representing the performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The S&P 500 Value Index® is an unmanaged market-capitalization-weighted index consisting of those stocks within the S&P 500 Index® that exhibit strong value characteristics. It uses a numerical ranking system based on four value factors and three growth factors to determine the constituents and their weightings. Investments cannot be made in an index. |
(c) | The DCIB is a custom, blended index comprised of the following three indices with their noted respective weightings: S&P 500 Value Index (40%), Merrill Lynch Fixed Rate Preferred Index (40%) and NAREIT Index (20%). This custom, blended index and its respective weightings are reflective of the Fund’s sector diversification. Indices are unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, are not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. |
(d) | REIT returns represented by the NAREIT Index. The NAREIT Index represents returns for the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust Equity Index. The index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index. |
(e) | Preferred returns represented by BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Preferred Stock Fixed Rate Index. |
There are no guarantees that dividend paying stocks will continue to pay dividends. In addition, dividend paying stocks may not experience the same capital appreciation potential as non-dividend paying stocks.

10 Year | | | 5.15 | % |
| | | | |
| | Expense Ratio | |
Gross | | | 1.03 | % |
With Contractual Waivers | | | 1.00 | % |
The above expense ratios are from the Fund’s prospectus dated April 30, 2014. Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee (based on average daily net assets) and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary in order to limit the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (after the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, and exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends, and extraordinary expenses) to not more than 0.98% of the Fund’s daily net assets through April 30, 2015.
The graph above illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000(a) in the Huntington VA International Equity Fund from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2014, compared to the MSCI-EAFE.
The performance information does not include the charges and expenses imposed by the insurance company separate accounts or charges and expenses under the variable insurance product contracts. The inclusion of such charges would lower performance. Please refer to the variable insurance product prospectus for a complete listing of these expenses. Additional information pertaining to the Fund’s expense ratio as of December 31, 2014 can be found in the financial highlights. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, Fund shares were available only through variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies offered by participating insurance companies. Variable investment options are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Huntington VA International Equity Fund (“Fund”) produced a total return of -6.63% based on net asset value. The Fund underperformed relative to the -4.90% total return of the Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (“MSCI-EAFE”)(b), its benchmark, for the same time period. The Fund underperformed the benchmark by -1.73%.
One of the primary factors that produced the underperformance of the Fund relative to its benchmark was the Fund’s exposure to both French and German equities, which had a weak 2014 due to economic growth concerns. With the exception of a few countries, most members of the MSCI-EAFE declined for the year. The Fund’s overweight exposure in the Healthcare sector was beneficial, but the relative overweight in the Industrials sector negatively affected performance.
Once again, the weakest performing sectors were Materials and Energy. Energy stocks had a particularly big decline in the fourth quarter as oil prices collapsed. The three stocks that contributed the most to performance were Murata Manufacturing (a Japanese technology company), Celgene Corp. (a US based healthcare company) and Novartis AG (a Swiss based pharmaceutical company). Their combined contribution to performance was 1.77%.

| The composition of the Fund’s holdings is subject to change. |
(a) | The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The MSCI-EAFE has been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends on securities in the index. |
(b) | The MSCI-EAFE is a market capitalization-weighted equity index comprising 20 of the 48 countries in the MSCI universe and representing the developed world outside of North America. Each MSCI country index is created separately, then aggregated, without change, into regional MSCI indices. The index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
International investing involves special risks including currency risk, political risk, increased volatility of foreign securities, and differences in auditing and other financial standards. Prices of emerging markets securities can be significantly more than the prices of securities in developed countries and currency risk and political risks are accentuated in emerging markets.

VA Situs Fund
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
Portfolio Managers:
| | |
B. Randolph Bateman, CFA Chief Investment Officer | | Kirk Mentzer, MBA Director of Fund Research |

| | | | |
| | Average Annual Total Return for the Period Ended 12/31/14 | |
1 Year | | | (2.06 | %) |
3 Year | | | 16.58 | % |
5 Year | | | 15.27 | % |
10 Year | | | 8.08 | % |
The above expense ratio is from the Fund’s prospectus dated April 30, 2014. Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee (based on average daily net assets) and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary in order to limit the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (after the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, and exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends, and extraordinary expenses) to not more than 1.00% of the Fund’s daily net assets through April 30, 2015.
The graph above illustrates the hypothetical investment of $10,000(a) in the Huntington VA Situs Fund from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2014, compared to the S&P 600 and the S&P 400.
The performance information does not include the charges and expenses imposed by the insurance company separate accounts or charges and expenses under the variable insurance product contracts. The inclusion of such charges would lower performance. Please refer to the variable insurance product prospectus for a complete listing of these expenses. Additional information pertaining to the Fund’s expense ratio as of December 31, 2014 can be found in the financial highlights. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, Fund shares were available only through variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies offered by participating insurance companies. Variable investment options are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the Huntington VA Situs Fund (“Fund”) reported a total return of -2.06%, based on net asset value. The Fund underperformed relative to the 5.76% total return of the Standard and Poor’s SmallCap 600 Index® (“S&P 600®”)(b), its benchmark, and the 9.77% total return of the Standard and Poor’s MidCap 400 Index® (“S&P 400”)(b) for the same period. The Fund underperformed the benchmark by -7.82%.
During the year, the Huntington VA Mid Corp America Fund was merged into the Fund. Much of the portfolio structure underperformance was as a result of the integration of the VA Mid Corp America Fund as its capitalization has always been benchmarked to the Mid Cap marketplace. The Huntington VA Situs Fund’s underperformance was primarily the result of certain stocks that fell along with the drop in the price of oil. With overproduction and a commitment by OPEC to maintain current production levels, oil prices fell precipitously during the final quarter of 2014 and GeoSpace Technologies and Carbo Ceramics were both heavily impacted by the energy price change.
One of the major drivers of performance from a stock selection perspective was TASER, which rose 1.96% during the fourth quarter and had been a minor holding until early autumn. However, the Fund made a major commitment to the holding following the events in Ferguson, Missouri. In the aftermath of the incident, a large number of police departments made commitments to TASER’s body cameras. This was duplicated internationally and the stock rose accordingly. Currently the company is the largest single holding of the Fund. In addition to TASER, four other companies moved into the top ten holdings of the Fund. Watts Water, South State Bank, Sanderson Farms and Tyler Technologies were among the major structural changes in the Fund’s efforts to expand into earnings driven corporations for the coming quarters.
The markets in 2014 were primarily impacted by activities surrounding the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve System (“Fed”), international turmoil, the Ebola virus scare and the change in Congressional makeup. The Fed ended its QE monetary policy in October and the markets handled the news in stride. In fact, much of the performance of the markets for the entire year occurred following the Fed’s withdrawal from its bond purchase program. This was particularly evident in the S&P 600®, which was down 3.74% for the first nine months of the year then recovered with a 9.83% rebound in the fourth quarter, allowing the index to increase 5.76% for the entire year.

(a) | The Fund’s performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The S&P 600 and S&P 400 have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of all dividends on securities in the index. |
(b) | The S&P 600 is a capitalization-weighted index representing all major industries in the small-cap range of the U.S. stock market. The S&P 400 is a capitalization-weighted index comprised of common stocks representing all major industries in the mid-range of the U.S. stock market. The indices are unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, are not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
International investing involves special risks, including currency risk, increased volatility of foreign securities, political risks, and differences in auditing and other financial standards.
Small company stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large company stocks.
Funds whose investments are concentrated in a specific industry or sector may be subject to a higher degree of market risk than funds whose investments are diversified. In addition, the Fund may be subject to specific risks of the information technology sector, such as obsolescence.

Huntington Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
The Huntington Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 23, 2006. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of December 31, 2014, the Trust operated 12 separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objective and strategy. This report contains financial statements and financial highlights of the funds listed below (individually referred to as a “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”):
Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund (“VA Dividend Capture Fund”)
Huntington VA International Equity Fund (“VA International Equity Fund”)
Huntington VA Situs Fund (“VA Situs Fund”)
The prospectus provides a description of each Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered. The price at which the Funds will offer or redeem shares is the net asset value (“NAV”) per share next determined after the order is considered received. The assets of each Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.
The Trust accounts for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund separately. Shares of the Funds are not offered directly to the public, but pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and procedures adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”), the Funds were sold during the year only to separate accounts of Hartford Life Insurance Company, Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance Company, Lincoln Insurance Company, Nationwide Insurance Company, Delaware Life Insurance Company, Forethought Life Insurance Company, and Transamerica Life Insurance Company for use with their respective variable insurance contracts and policies.
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 Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
On June 20, 2014, the VA Dividend Capture Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Huntington VA Income Equity Fund (“VA Income Equity Fund”), and the VA Situs Fund acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of the Huntington VA Mid Corp America Fund (“VA Mid Corp America Fund”), pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization approved by the Trustees on January 30, 2014. The reorganization provides shareholders of the VA Income Equity Fund and VA Mid Corp America Fund access to a larger and more diversified portfolio with a similar investment strategy and lower expenses. The reorganizations qualified as tax-free reorganizations for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized to the funds or their shareholders.
With respect to the VA Dividend Capture Fund and VA Income Equity Fund merger, the acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 922,746 shares of the VA Dividend Capture Fund (valued at $11,894,194) for 1,090,350 shares of the VA Income Equity Fund outstanding on June 20, 2014. The investment portfolio of the VA Income Equity Fund, with a fair value of $11,491,112 and identified cost of $10,018,073, was the principal asset acquired by the VA Dividend Capture Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the VA Dividend Capture Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the identified cost of the investments received from the VA Income Equity Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the VA Dividend Capture Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of the VA Dividend Capture Fund immediately before the acquisition were $28,867,249. The net assets of the VA Income Equity Fund at that date of $11,894,194, including $1,473,039 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the VA Dividend Capture Fund, resulting in combined net assets of $40,761,443.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the VA Dividend Capture Fund, the VA Dividend Capture Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, are as follows:
| | | | |
Net Investment Income(a) | | $ | 1,440,834 | |
Net Realized and Unrealized Gain on Investments | | | 2,778,239 | |
Net Increase in Net Assets Resulting From Operations | | | 4,219,073 | |
| (a) | Net Investment Income includes $16,800 of pro forma additional merger expenses. |

December 31, 2014
With respect to the VA Situs Fund and VA Mid Corp America Fund merger, the acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 714,623 shares of the VA Situs Fund (valued at $16,321,997) for 1,952,602 shares of the VA Mid Corp America Fund outstanding on June 20, 2014. The investment portfolio of the VA Mid Corp America Fund, with a fair value of $15,896,411 and identified cost of $12,865,034, was the principal asset acquired by the VA Situs Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the VA Situs Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the identified cost of the investments received from the VA Mid Corp America Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the VA Situs Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of the VA Situs Fund immediately before the acquisition were $54,403,068. The net assets of the VA Mid Corp America Fund at that date of $16,321,997, including $3,031,377 of unrealized appreciation, were combined with those of the VA Situs Fund, resulting in combined net assets of $70,725,065.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the VA Situs Fund, the VA Situs Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014, are as follows:
| | | | |
Net Investment Income(a) | | $ | 178,639 | |
Net Realized and Unrealized Loss on Investments | | | (1,512,182 | ) |
Net Decrease in Net Assets Resulting From Operations | | | (1,333,543 | ) |
| (a) | Net Investment Income includes $16,800 of pro forma additional merger expenses. |
Because the investment portfolios of VA Dividend Capture Fund and VA Situs Fund have each been managed as single portfolios since their respective acquisitions were completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the VA Income Equity Fund and VA Mid Corp America Fund that have been included in the accompanying relevant Statements of Operations since June 20, 2014.
(2) | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds are each an investment company and each follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust calculates the NAV for each of the Funds by valuing securities held based on 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 described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds’ investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| | |
| |
• Level 1 | | - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. |
| |
• Level 2 | | - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
| |
• Level 3 | | - significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Trust recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
In computing the NAV of the Funds, fair value is based on market valuations with respect to portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available. Pursuant to Trustee-approved policies, the Trust relies on certain security pricing services to provide the current market value of securities. Those security pricing services value equity securities (including foreign equity securities, exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds) traded on a securities exchange at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. Equity securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. If there is no

reported sale on the principal exchange, and in the case of over-the counter securities, equity securities are valued at a bid price estimated by the security pricing service. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Option contracts are generally valued using the closing price based on quote data from the six major U.S. options exchanges on which such options are traded which are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value under Trust procedures approved by the Trustees. In these cases, a Pricing Committee established and appointed by the Trustees determines in good faith, subject to Trust procedures, the fair value of portfolio securities held by a Fund (“good faith fair valuation”). When a good faith fair valuation of a security is required, consideration is generally given to a number of factors including, but not limited to the following: dealer quotes, published analyses by dealers or analysts regarding the security, transactions which provide implicit valuation of the security (such as a merger or tender offer transaction), the value of other securities or contracts which derive their value from the security at issue, and the implications of any other circumstances which have caused trading in the security to halt. With respect to certain categories of securities, the procedures utilized by the Pricing Committee detail specific valuation methodologies to be applied in lieu of considering the aforementioned list of factors. Depending on the source and relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fair valuation procedures are also used when a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which is when each Fund’s NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Significant events include significant securities market movements occurring between the time the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For domestic fixed income securities, such events may occur where the cut-off time for the market information used by the independent pricing service is earlier than the end of regular trading on the NYSE. For securities normally priced at their last sale price in a foreign market, such events can occur between the close of trading in the foreign market and the close of trading on the NYSE.
In some cases, events affecting the issuer of a portfolio security may be considered significant events. Examples of potentially significant events include announcements concerning earnings, acquisitions, new products, management changes, litigation developments, a strike or natural disaster affecting the company’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For securities of foreign issuers, such events could also include political or other developments affecting the economy or markets in which the issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded.
There can be no assurance that a Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. In the case of good faith fair valued portfolio securities, lack of information and uncertainty as to the significance of information may lead to a conclusion that a prior valuation is the best indication of a portfolio security’s present value. Good faith fair valuations generally remain unchanged until new information becomes available. Consequently, changes in good faith fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations.
The Funds’ Trustees have authorized the use of an independent fair valuation service. If the movement in a designated U.S. market index, after foreign markets close, is greater than predetermined levels, the Funds may use a systematic valuation model provided from that independent third party to fair value its international equity securities. Securities which are fair value according to this model are then typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 are due to significant movement of a designated U.S. market index, triggering a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party to fair value the international equity securities at reporting period end. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 indicate that the fair value of international equity securities used at the previous reporting period end did not occur as of the current reporting period end.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value. The Trust recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The following is a summary of the transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for the year ended December 31, 2014:

B. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange each business day to determine the value of investments, and other assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of foreign securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuation arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency transactions.
Certain of the Funds may be subject to equity price risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. Certain of the Funds may invest in various financial instruments including positions in foreign currency contracts and written option contracts to gain exposure to or hedge against changes in the value of equities or foreign currencies.

December 31, 2014
The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Funds, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Foreign Exchange Contracts—VA International Equity Fund and VA Situs Fund may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts. A forward foreign exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Such contracts are used to sell unwanted currency exposure that comes with holding securities in a market, or to buy currency exposure where the exposure from holding securities is insufficient to provide the desired currency exposure. The contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a forward foreign currency contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. These unrealized and realized gains and losses are reported on the Statement of Operations. The Funds could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in exchange rates. As of December 31, 2014, VA International Equity Fund and VA Situs Fund did not have any forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding.
Written Options Contracts—Certain of the Funds may write options contracts for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. Investing in written options contracts exposes a Fund to equity price risk.
The following is a summary of VA Situs Fund’s written option activity for the year ended December 31, 2014:
| | | | | | | | |
Contracts | | Number of Contracts | | | Premium | |
Outstanding at 12/31/2013 | | | 350 | | | $ | 81,954 | |
Options exercised | | | (350 | ) | | | (81,954 | ) |

The following tables identify the location and fair value of derivative instruments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2014, and the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The effect of Derivative Instruments on the Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Primary Risk Exposure | | Location of Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized in Income | | Fund | | Realized Gain (Loss) on Derivatives Recognized from Operations | | | Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Derivatives Recognized from Operations | |

The notional value of the written options contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and the month-end average notional amount for the year ended December 31, 2014 are detailed in the table below:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Average Month-End Notional Amount | | | December 31, 2014 Notional Amount | |
VA Situs Fund | | $ | 116,667 | | | $ | — | |
Derivative positions open during the period and at period end are reflected for each Fund in the previous tables. The volume of these positions relative to each Fund’s net assets at the close of the reporting period is generally higher than the volume of such positions at the beginning of the reporting period. The Funds value derivative instruments at fair value and recognize changes in fair value currently in the results on operations.
Netting Agreements—During the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable netting agreements or other similar arrangements (��netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows a Fund to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreement. Generally, a Fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of December 31, 2014, the Funds were not invested in any portfolio securities or derivatives that could be netted subject to the netting agreements.
To generate additional income, the Funds may lend a certain percentage of their total assets, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or the rules or regulations thereunder, on a short-term basis to certain brokers, dealers or other financial institutions pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. In determining whether to lend to a particular broker, dealer or financial institution, Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the size, creditworthiness and reputation of the borrower. Any loans made will be continuously secured by collateral in cash at least equal to 100% of the value of the securities on loan for the Funds, based on the prior day’s closing price. When the collateral falls below specified amounts the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the security lending agreement. The Funds receive payments from the borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities on loan. In addition, the Funds lending securities receive an annual minimum securities lending fee and retain a portion of the interest, dividends and other distributions received on investment of cash collateral. Collateral is marked-to market daily. One of the risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, is the possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. Although the loan is fully collateralized, if a borrower defaults, a Fund could lose money. There is also the risk that, when lending portfolio securities, the securities may not be available to a Fund on a timely basis and a Fund may, therefore, lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. In addition, in the event that a borrower of securities would file for bankruptcy or become insolvent, disposition of the securities may be delayed pending court action. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”) serves as the custodian for related collateral and receives an annual securities lending fee for collateral monitoring and recordkeeping services.

December 31, 2014
As of December 31, 2014, the following Funds had securities with the following market values on loan and related activity for the year ended December 31, 2014:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Value of Loaned Securities | | | Value of Collateral | | | Average Loan Outstanding During the Year | | | Securities Lending Income Received by the Funds | | | Fees Paid by the Funds to Huntington from Securities Lending | |
VA Dividend Capture Fund | | $ | 482,936 | | | $ | 496,352 | | | $ | 2,048,983 | | | $ | 48,260 | | | $ | 23,667 | |
VA International Equity Fund | | | — | | | | — | | | | 1,138,188 | | | | 5,799 | | | | 2,300 | |
VA Situs Fund | | | 14,350,288 | | | | 14,805,531 | | | | 14,636,698 | | | | 224,707 | | | | 50,916 | |
E. | Security Transactions and Related Income |
During the period, investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities. Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends, less foreign tax withholding (if any), are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
F. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders |
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually by the Funds. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with the federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. tax treatment of foreign currency gain/loss, distributions and income received from pass through investments and net investment loss adjustments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary differences are primarily attributable to losses deferred due to wash sales and straddles, capital loss carryfowards, non-taxable distributions from underlying investments and the tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies.
The Funds may own shares of real estate investments trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
The Funds may invest in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), which generally are treated as partnerships for Federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs, the Fund includes its allocable share of the MLPs’ taxable income in computing its own taxable income.
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionally among various Funds or all Funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis.
It is the policy of each Fund to qualify or 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. In addition to complying with the federal tax requirements applicable to regulated investment companies, the Funds also plan to comply with certain diversification standards applicable to underlying assets of variable annuity contracts in order to avoid taxation on the variable contract owners with respect to earnings allocable to the contract from investments in the Funds.
Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains with respect to the Funds have been provided for in accordance with each applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

As of December 31, 2014, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Tax Cost of Securities | | | Unrealized Appreciation | | | Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)(a) | |
VA Dividend Capture Fund | | $ | 33,350,070 | | | $ | 3,068,698 | | | $ | (718,535 | ) | | $ | 2,350,163 | |

| (a) | The differences between the book-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable primarily to: tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the tax treatment of Trust Preferred securities, hybrid securities and Grantor trusts, differences related to partnership investments, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on investments in passive foreign investment companies and the return of capital adjustments from real estate investment trusts. |
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, was as follows:

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, was as follows:

As of December 31, 2014, for federal income tax purposes and the treatment of distributions payable, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards available to offset future gains, if any, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| (a) | The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. The provisions of the Act were effective for the Funds’ fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may be utilized. Under the Act, new capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss as compared with pre-enactment law, where capital losses could be carried forward for up to eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital losses, irrespective of the character of the original loss. |
| (b) | Future utilization is limited under current tax law. |
As of December 31, 2014, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards subject to expiration that are limited as a result of changes in Fund ownership during the year and in prior years:

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the following Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards:
| | | | |
Fund | | Utilized Amount | |
VA Dividend Capture Fund | | $ | 3,534,715 | |
VA International Equity Fund | | | 1,261,974 | |
VA Situs Fund | | | 191,305 | |
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
(3) | Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates |
Investment Advisory Fee—Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a subsidiary of The Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”), serves as the Funds’ investment advisor. The Advisor receives a fee for its services, computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.60% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.
The Advisor has agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee for the following funds (based on average daily net assets) to which it is otherwise entitled to receive and/or to reimburse certain operating expenses in order to limit each Fund’s total annual fund expenses (after fee waivers, and/or expense reimbursements, and exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends, and extraordinary expenses) (“Expense Cap”) to the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Expense Cap | | | Expense Cap Effective Date | | | Expense Cap Expiration Date | |
VA Dividend Capture Fund | | | 0.99 | % | | | April 30, 2014 | | | | April 30, 2015 | |

VA Situs Fund | | | 1.00 | % | | | April 30, 2014 | | | | April 30, 2015 | |
| (a) | Prior to April 30, 2014, the Advisor had agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee for the VA International Equity Fund (based on average daily net assets) to which it is otherwise entitled to receive and/or to reimburse certain operating expenses in order to limit the total direct net annual operating expenses and acquired (underlying) fund operating expenses to not more than 1.00% through April 30, 2014. |

The Audit Committee Chairman receives $33,000 annual retainer plus $2,500 per regular Board meeting. The Independent Chairman of the Board receives a $50,000 annual retainer plus $2,500 per regular Board meeting. The Board or a committee may establish ad hoc committees or sub-committees. Any committee or sub-committee member may be compensated by the Funds for incremental work outside of the regular meeting process based on the value added to the Funds. In addition, the Funds reimburse Trustees for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conjunction with attendance at meetings. For the year ended December 31, 2014, actual Trustee compensation was $299,000 in aggregate from the Trust.
Affiliated Funds—Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds may invest in certain affiliated money market funds which are managed by the Advisor. Income distributions earned from investments in these funds are recorded as income from affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. A summary of each Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market funds is set forth below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Money Market Fund | | 12/31/13 Market Value | | | Purchases | | | Sales | | | 12/31/14 Market Value | | | Income | |

(4) | Investment Transactions |
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for the year ended December 31, 2014, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
VA Dividend Capture Fund | | $ | 37,013,258 | | | $ | 56,964,819 | |
VA International Equity Fund | | | 2,513,673 | | | | 11,351,263 | |
VA Situs Fund | | | 12,545,722 | | | | 24,915,955 | |
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government obligations during the year ended December 31, 2014.
(5) | Foreign Investment Risk |
Compared with investing in the United States, investing in foreign markets involves a greater degree and variety of risk. Investors in international or foreign markets may face delayed settlements, currency controls and adverse economic developments as well as higher overall transaction costs. In addition, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar’s value versus other currencies may erode or reverse gains from investments denominated in foreign currencies or widen losses. Foreign governments may expropriate assets, impose capital or currency controls, impose punitive taxes, impose limits on ownership or nationalize a company or industry. Any of these actions could have severe effect on security prices and impair the Fund’s ability to bring its capital or income back to the U.S. Exchange rate. Fluctuations also may impair an issuer’s ability to repay U.S. dollar denominated debt, thereby increasing credit risk of such debt. Finally, the value of foreign securities may be affected by incomplete, less frequent or inaccurate financial information about their issuers, social upheavals or political actions ranging from tax code changes to government collapse. Foreign companies may also receive less coverage than U.S. companies by market analysts, and financial reporting standards or regulatory requirements may not be comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.
The Trust participates in a short-term credit agreement (“Line of Credit”) with Huntington. Prior to December 18, 2014, the Trust’s short-term credit agreement was with Citibank, N.A.. Under the terms of the agreement, the Funds may borrow up to
H U N T I N G T O N F U N D S
Huntington Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
December 31, 2014
$30 million at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 135 basis points. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. Huntington receives an annual facility fee of 0.125% on $30 million as well as an additional annual fee of 0.125% on any unused portion of the credit facility for providing the Line of Credit. Each Fund in the Trust pays a pro-rata portion of this facility fee, and unused fee, plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the following Funds had borrowings under this, and the previous agreement with Citibank, N.A., Line of Credit.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Average Loan Balance | | | Weighted Average Interest Rate | | | Number of Days Outstanding(a) | | | Interest Expense Accrued | | | Maximum Loan Outstanding | |
VA Dividend Capture Fund | | $ | 378,057 | | | | 1.41 | % | | | 5 | | | $ | 74 | | | $ | 1,232,304 | |
VA International Equity Fund | | | 347,466 | | | | 1.41 | | | | 4 | | | | 54 | | | | 1,000,000 | |
VA Situs Fund | | | 373,697 | | | | 1.43 | | | | 33 | | | | 417 | | | | 1,767,697 | |
| (a) | Number of Days Outstanding represents the total days during the year ended December 31, 2014 that each Fund utilized the Line of Credit. |
As of December 31, 2014, the VA Situs Fund had $117,110 in outstanding borrowings at an interest rate of 1.51% under this Line of Credit.
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on October 30, 2014, the Trustees considered and approved the recommendation of the Advisor to dissolve and liquidate the VA International Equity Fund on or about the close of business on March 6, 2015. Accordingly, the Advisor will prepare a Plan of Liquidation for execution by the Trust.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
of the Huntington Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund, Huntington VA International Equity Fund and Huntington VA Situs Fund (three of the portfolios constituting The Huntington Funds, collectively referred to as the “Funds”), including the portfolios of investments, as of December 31, 2014 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Huntington Funds referred to above at December 31, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Examples
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These 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.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period from July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
Actual Expenses. The “Actual” lines of the table provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line together with the amount you invested to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” 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 “Hypothetical” lines of the table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate 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 and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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 withdrawal charges, mortality and expense risk fees and other charges that may be assessed by participating insurance companies under the separate accounts, variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies. Therefore, the “Actual” and “Hypothetical” lines of the table are 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.

Board of Trustees’ Consideration of Investment Advisory Agreement for the
Huntington VA Funds (the “Funds”) (Unaudited)
The Board of Trustees is responsible for determining whether to approve the Funds’ investment advisory agreements. At a meeting held on August 19, 2014, the Board unanimously approved the investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) between Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) and the Funds. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreements between the Advisor and the Funds, the Advisor provides advisory services to the Funds.
During the review process, the Board received assistance and advice from, and met separately with, independent legal counsel. In approving each of the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, considered many factors, among the most significant of which are: (1) the nature of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor in relation to the advisory fees; (2) the individual performance of the Funds; (3) the Advisor’s costs and the profits realized through providing the Funds with advisory services; (4) whether the Advisor has realized or may realize economies of scale in providing services to the Funds and, if so, whether these economies are shared with the Funds; and (5) a comparison of the fees and performance of comparable funds.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services in Relation to the Advisory Fee. In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Board reviewed information relating to the Advisor’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Advisor provided descriptions of its organizational and management structure, biographical information on its supervisory and portfolio management staff on a fund-by-fund basis, and financial information. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Advisor with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Advisory Agreements. The Board determined that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor in relation to the advisory fees were acceptable.
Individual Performance of the Funds. The Board reviewed the Funds’ performance record and the Advisor’s management styles in relation to comparable funds and appropriate benchmarks. The Board noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about each Funds’ performance. The Board also reviewed various comparative data for each of the Funds provided to them in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, including, among other information, each Fund’s performance compared to similar funds based on information provided by Strategic Insight Inc. (“Strategic Insight”) for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ending March 31, 2014, as applicable, as well as each Fund’s performance compared to its benchmark index for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year and since-inception periods ending March 31, 2014, as applicable.
Advisor’s Costs and the Profits Realized Through Providing the Funds With Advisory Services. In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fees, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect, received by the Advisor and its affiliates attributable to managing each of the Funds individually, the cost of providing such services and the resulting profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates from these relationships. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s agreement to limit the total direct net annual operating expenses of the VA Dividend Capture Fund to not more than 0.99% of its average daily net assets through April 30, 2015. The Board also took into account the Advisor’s agreement to limit the total direct net annual operating expenses of the VA International Equity Fund to not more than 0.98% of its average daily net assets through April 30, 2015(a). The Board also took into account the Advisor’s agreement to limit the total direct net annual operating expenses of the VA Situs Fund to not more than 1.00% of its average daily net assets through April 30, 2015. The Trustees determined that the profitability of the Advisor was acceptable in relation to the nature and quality of services provided to the Funds.
Economies of Scale in Providing Services to the Funds and Whether These Economies are Shared With the Funds. The Board also considered the effect of the Funds’ growth and size on their performance and fees. The Board considered the fees under the Advisory Agreements for each Fund and possible economies of scale that may be realized as the assets of the Funds grow. The Board noted that none of the Funds was currently large enough to have realized economies of scale. However, the Board noted that the administrative fee charged to the Funds included fee breakpoints, which allowed the Funds to realize economies of scale as the assets of the Funds increased over time.
Comparison of the Fees and Performance of Comparable Funds. With respect to the Funds’ performance and fees, the Board considered comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be particularly useful, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board used peer group information provided by Strategic Insight with respect to its comparable fee and performance analysis for the Funds. The data for the fee and performance analysis was generated on an aggregate portfolio level since not all Funds offer the same types of share classes. The Board noted that the Advisor does not provide services to other accounts. The Board also took into account updated fee and expense information from management which reflected the impact of certain waivers and reimbursements.
Other Considerations. The Board also requests and receives substantial and detailed information about the Funds and the Advisor on a regular basis. The Advisor provides much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board and furnishes additional reports in connection with the Board’s formal review of the Advisory Agreements. The Board may also receive information between regular meetings relating to particular matters as the need arises. The Board’s evaluation of the Advisory Agreements is informed by reports covering such matters as the Advisor’s investment philosophy, personnel, and processes; operating strategies; each Fund’s short- and
H U N T I N G T O N F U N D S
Huntington Funds
long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitive funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate) and comments on reasons for performance; the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Funds’ portfolio securities; the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Funds by the Advisor and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as the Advisor’s responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and the Advisor are responding to them. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreements, the Board also evaluated, among other things, the Advisor’s ability to supervise each of the Fund’s other service providers and their compliance programs.
The Board based its decision to approve the Advisory Agreements on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above are relevant to each of the Funds, nor does the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that are relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the Advisory Agreements reflects its determination that the Advisor’s performance and actions provide an acceptable basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.
While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decisions. In each case, the Board concluded that the Funds’ performance was acceptable and that the Funds’ advisory fee and total expenses, which included the administrative fee, were reasonable in light of the quality and nature of services provided by the Advisor and its affiliates.
Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund
Among other data considered, the Board noted that the Fund underperformed the average and median of its peer group for the one-, three- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2014, and the Fund outperformed the average and median of its peer group for the five-year period ended March 31, 2014. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2014, and outperformed its benchmark index for the since-inception period ended March 31, 2014. The Board also considered the Fund’s advisory fee and total expenses, which included the administrative fee. The Board noted that the Fund’s combined advisory/administrative fee and total net expenses were above the average and median of its peer group, respectively. The Board took into consideration the Advisor’s discussion regarding the Fund’s performance, including the impact of market conditions on the Fund’s performance, and management’s continued close monitoring of the Fund’s performance.

(e)(1) Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
I. Purpose
Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”), the Audit Committees of the Board of Trustees of The Huntington Funds and Huntington Strategy Shares (each a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”) is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the Trust’s independent auditor. As part of this responsibility, the Audit Committee is required to grant approval for audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor for the Trust in order assure that they do not impair the auditor’s independence from the Trust. In addition, the Audit Committee also must pre-approve its independent auditor’s engagement for non-audit services with the Trust’s investment adviser (not including a sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and/or financial reporting of the Trust.
To implement these provisions of the Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has issued rules specifying the types of services that the Trust’s independent auditor may not provide to the Trust, as well as the Audit Committee’s administration of the engagement of the independent auditor. Under these rules, the SEC has provided that a permissible approval of audit and non-audit services can take the form of either (i) a general pre-approval, or (ii) a specific pre-approval (where a specific type
of service is authorized, generally subject to a fee maximum). General pre-approvals are authorized by SEC rules only subject to detailed policies and procedures. Unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has adopted these Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures, which set forth the procedures and the conditions pursuant to which services for the Trust may be performed by the independent auditor under pre-approvals.
II. General Pre-Approval Policies
It is the policy of the Audit Committee that audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Trust’s independent auditor be pre-approved only when in the best interests of the Trust’s shareholders and fully consistent with applicable law and, particularly, the maintenance of the auditor’s independence. In granting any pre-approval, consideration shall be given to:
| 1. | the qualifications of the auditor to perform the services involved; |
| 2. | the proposed costs (which may be presented as an estimate or based on professional time charges subject to a ceiling) of the services and the reasonableness thereof; |
| 3. | the permissibility of the services under applicable rules and guidance of the SEC; |
| 4. | the effect, if any, of the performance of the proposed services on the auditor’s independence; |
| 5. | the effect of the compensation for the proposed services on the auditor’s independence; and |
| 6. | the effect, if any, of the proposed services on the Trust’s ability to manage or control risk or to improve audit quality. |
In accordance with SEC rules, non-audit services performed by the Trust’s independent auditor may not include the following:
| 1. | Bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the audit client; |
| 2. | Financial information systems design and implementation; |
| 3. | Appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; |
| 5. | Internal audit outsourcing services; |
| 6. | Management functions or human resources; |
| 7. | Broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; and |
| 8. | Legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit. |
III. Procedures for Pre-Approval by the Audit Committee
| 1. | Requests for pre-approval shall be in writing and may be made by either the independent auditors or by management of the Trust. |
| 2. | All requests for pre-approval shall be made to the full Audit Committee at regularly scheduled meetings thereof (or at a special meeting of the Audit Committee set to coincide with regular meetings of the Trust’s Board of Trustees) whenever practicable. |
| 3. | Under normal circumstances, requests for pre-approval should be presented at least 7 days prior (and in no event later than 48 hours prior) to the proposed commencement of the engagement. |
| 4. | If consideration of a request for pre-approval on the dates identified in Section III(2) would not be timely, the requesting party shall notify the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Chairman of the Audit Committee shall then determine whether to schedule a special meeting of the Audit Committee (which may be conducted telephonically) on an alternative date or whether the request may appropriately be presented to a delegate of the Audit Committee under procedures set forth in Section IV below. |
| 5. | Requests for pre-approval may include, but are not limited to, the following services: |
| a. | audit engagement, particularly for interim periods; |
| b. | tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice; |
| c. | review and consents with respect to use of reports in post-effective amendments to the registration statements of the Trust; |
| d. | review of IRS shareholder materials; |
| e. | review and validation of Trust procedures (e.g., valuation, interTrust lending, etc.), and |
| f. | market research and strategic insights. |
| 6. | Requests for pre-approval should identify the nature of the services to be provided in a manner sufficiently specific to allow evaluation of the considerations identified above in Section II. |
| 7. | In accordance with PCAOB Rule 3524, requests for pre-approval of permissible tax services by the independent auditor must have the following items described in writing for the audit committee: |
| a. | the scope of the proposed tax service, |
| b. | the fee structure for the engagement, |
| c. | any side letters, amendments to the engagement letter or any other agreements, whether oral, written, or otherwise, relating to the service between the audit firm and the Trusts, and |
| d. | any compensation arrangements or other agreements between the audit firm and any third party with respect to promoting, marketing, or recommending a transaction covered by the proposed tax service. |
The audit firm should discuss with the Audit Committee the potential effect of the proposed tax service(s) on the audit firm’s independence.
| 8. | Requests for pre-approval must include an assessment by the independent auditor of its independence should the request be granted and the proposed services rendered. |
| 9. | The Audit Committee’s action on a request for pre-approval shall be recorded in the Audit Committee’s minutes. |
| 10. | The Audit Committee’s action on a request for pre-approval shall be communicated in writing to the independent auditor and, under normal circumstances, a copy of this communication shall be provided to the Trust’s management. |
| 11. | The Audit Committee’s action on a request for pre-approval shall be reported to the full Board of Trustees. |
| 12. | Pre-approvals will be granted for a period of no more than one year. |
IV. Procedures for Pre-Approval by a Delegate of the Audit Committee
| 1. | Where it has been determined by the Chairman of the Audit Committee that consideration of a request for pre-approval by the full Audit Committee would not be timely, the Chairman may determine that the request be presented to a member(s) of the Audit Committee appointed by the Audit Committee as its delegate (the “Delegate”) for this purpose. (As of the date of the adoption of these guidelines and procedures, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has been so appointed, and such appointment may be revoked or modified by the Audit Committee at any time.) |
| 2. | Requests for pre-approval shall be in writing and may be made by either the independent auditors or by management of the Trust. |
| 3. | Under normal circumstances, requests for pre-approval should be presented at least 7 days prior (and in no event later than 48 hours prior) to the proposed commencement of the engagement. |
| 4. | Requests for pre-approval may include, but are not limited to, the following services: |
| a. | audit engagement, particularly for interim periods; |
| b. | tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice; |
| c. | review and consents with respect to use of reports in post-effective amendments to the registration statements of the Trust; |
| d. | review of IRS shareholder materials; |
| e. | review and validation of Trust procedures (e.g., valuation, interfund lending, etc.); and |
| f. | market research and strategic insights. |
| 5. | Requests for pre-approval should identify the nature of the services to be provided in a manner sufficiently specific to allow evaluation of the considerations identified above in Section II. |
| 6. | Requests for pre-approval must include an assessment by the independent auditor of its independence should the request be granted and the proposed services rendered. |
| 7. | The Delegate’s action on a request for pre-approval shall be communicated in writing to the independent auditor, with a copy to each other member of the Audit Committee and, under normal circumstances, to the Trust’s management. |
| 8. | Pre-approvals by the Delegate shall be reviewed by the Audit Committee at a meeting held no later than the next scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees or the Audit Committee, whichever occurs sooner. An earlier review shall be conducted upon the written request of one or more Audit Committee members addressed to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. |
| 9. | Pre-approvals by the Delegate may be modified or revoked by the Audit Committee, but will not absolve the Trust of its responsibility to compensate the independent auditor for services rendered prior to such modification or revocation. |
| 10. | The results of the Audit Committee’s review of the Delegate’s action on a request for pre-approval shall be recorded in the Audit Committee’s minutes and reported to the full Board of Trustees. |
| 11. | Pre-approvals will be granted by the Delegate for a period of no more than one year. |
V. Procedures for Monitoring Engagements Authorized Under Pre-Approval Procedures
The independent auditor shall inform the Audit Committee in writing upon the commencement of services rendered under a pre-approval. The independent auditor shall thereafter provide the Audit Committee with written quarterly progress reports within one month of the close of each calendar quarter detailing the work done and fees and other charges incurred during said calendar quarter. Should fees and expenses exceed those specified in a pre-approval (or appear likely to do so prior to completion of the work), the independent auditor or management shall so apprise the Audit Committee and an additional express approval or pre-approval must be obtained.
VI. Amendment
These Policies and Procedures may be amended or revoked at any time by the Audit Committee and shall be reviewed at least annually in conjunction with review of the Audit Committee Charter.
