Letter to Shareholders

January 15, 2018

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

The Torray Fund advanced 12.07% in 2017 compared to a gain of 21.83% on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, the latter number reflecting particular strength in the shares of growth companies. According to the Wall Street Journal, almost 24% of the S&P 500 return last year can be attributed to just five stocks – Alphabet (parent of Google), Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft.  The Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 30.21% while the Russell 1000 Value Index gained 13.66%.  The unusually wide spread on this large group was last seen in the late 1990s.  We believe these excessive valuations are unlikely to support reasonable, long-term outcomes and, in some cases, may cause punishing losses.

Much of the current situation sheds light on the significant flow of capital into index funds and an overwhelming number of exchange traded funds.  In both cases, the capitalization size of companies determines where the money goes, explaining why prices of the largest, most inflated stocks continue to rise regardless of underlying fundamentals.  Such patterns have occasionally surfaced in the past, producing painful results for those playing the game.  As we said in our July letter, our objective remains the same – to invest in sound businesses using a value-oriented strategy that focuses on limiting risk while building shareholder wealth over time.  Our Fund’s portfolio matches this theme.  Today’s shortage of attractive examples explains the Fund’s 11.7% cash reserve which will be used to take advantage of promising opportunities as they arise.

Portfolio activity was modest in the second half of the year. We trimmed three holdings, added to three others, and sold two positions along with one small spin-off.  The only new investment was Royal Dutch Shell, a large integrated oil company with a conservative financial structure, modest valuation and a dividend yield in excess of 6%.

After more than eight years of aggressive monetary ease, fiscal deficits and steady economic growth, asset prices, as noted, seem high to us almost across the board – equities, real estate, tangible assets, cryptocurrencies, etc.  (As skeptical as we are of equities in general, we find fixed income prices even more out of line.)  Investors’ recollections of past stock market booms and busts seem to have faded in the backdrop of surging prices. Our experience of nearly 50 years has consistently shown that a conservative approach to appraising investments is critical to long-term success. In that vein, we are more than comfortable with our Fund’s estimated forward price-earnings ratio of 13.7, but leery of the 18.4 measure carried by the S&P 500.

Letter to Shareholders (continued)

January 15, 2018

Those of us who have devoted a lifetime to investment analysis with special emphasis on business fundamentals and the lessons of history have witnessed triumphs and tragedies, booms and busts, and the rise of countless grand theories only to see them toppled by reality.  For us there is nothing new in the events of recent years, or in the pronouncements of “experts” along the way.  We’ve seen it all, and we’ll see it again.  This is the message our letters have conveyed from the start.  We hope they have helped.

We are grateful for your support and the opportunity to manage your funds.

Sincerely,

Robert E. Torray

Shawn M. Hendon

The returns quoted represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher. For performance current to the most recent month end, please call (800) 626-9769. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on the redemption of fund shares and distributions. The Fund’s Gross Expense Ratio is 1.18%.  The Fund’s Net Expense Ratio of 1.10%, after fee waiver and expense reimbursement, will contractually remain in effect through April 30, 2018. Returns on both The Torray Fund and the S&P 500 Index assume reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index consisting of 500 U.S. large-cap stocks.  It is not possible to invest directly in an index.  Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to change and risk.  Mutual fund investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal value.  At times, the Fund’s portfolio may be more concentrated than that of a more diversified fund, subjecting it to greater fluctuation and risk.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2017

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION

The Torray Fund (“Fund”) is a separate diversified series of The Torray Fund (“Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust is organized as a business trust under Massachusetts law. The Fund’s investment objectives are to build investor wealth over extended periods and to minimize shareholder capital gains tax liability by limiting the realization of long- and short-term gains. The Fund seeks to meet its objectives by investing in the common stocks of high quality businesses that are fairly priced and run by sound management. These companies must have solid finances and a long-term record of rising sales, earnings and free cash flow. Investments are held as long as the issuers’ fundamentals remain intact. The Fund invests principally in the common stocks of large capitalization companies (e.g. companies with market capitalization of $8 billion or more). There can be no assurance that the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved.  The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment companies accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Security Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund complies with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Fund did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2017, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund is not subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities for tax years prior to the period ended December 31, 2014.

Security Transactions and Investment Income – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities.

12

The Torray Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As of December 31, 2017

The Fund distributes all net investment income, if any, quarterly and net realized capital gains, if any, annually.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, GAAP requires that they be reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Fund increased net investment income by $569,905, decreased accumulated net realized gain on investments by $569,904, and decreased paid in capital by $1.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 — SECURITIES VALUATION

The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

• Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Fund’s investments are carried at fair value.

The Torray Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As of December 31, 2017

Equity Securities – Securities that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Securities traded primarily in the Nasdaq Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and ask prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If the market for a particular security is not active, and the mean between bid and ask prices is used, these securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-Term Investments – Investments in money market funds are valued at their net asset value per share. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Short-term debt securities (maturing in 60 days or less), such as U.S. Treasury Bills, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or if the closing price does not represent fair value, are valued following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.  As of December 31, 2017, no Fund portfolio securities were priced using the Trust’s fair value guidelines.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s securities as of December 31, 2017:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Common Stocks	$	395,196,625	$	—	$	—	$	395,196,625
Short-Term Investments		17,461,172		34,982,481		—		52,443,653

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As of December 31, 2017

As of December 31, 2017, the Fund did not have any capital loss carryovers.  A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year.  Qualified late year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the Fund’s taxable year subsequent to October 31.  For the taxable year ended December 31, 2017, the Fund does not plan to defer any late year losses.

The cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2017, was as follows:

	2017
Gross unrealized appreciation	$	139,055,255
Gross unrealized depreciation		(10,217,935	)
Net unrealized appreciation		128,837,320
Cost	$	318,802,958

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable to differences in the treatment of partnerships.

NOTE 8 — SECTOR RISK

As of December 31, 2017, the Fund had a significant portion of its assets invested in the financials sector.  The financials sector may be more greatly impacted by the performance of the overall economy, interest rates, competition, and consumer confidence spending.

NOTE 9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

NOTE 10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date these financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and the Shareholders

of The Torray Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of The Torray Fund (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2017, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2017, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Torray Fund

FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN CONNECTION WITH ITS

APPROVAL OF THE TRUST’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE MANAGER

(unaudited)

The Torray Fund (“Trust”) has entered into a Management Contract (the “Agreement”) with Torray LLC (“Manager”) pursuant to which the Manager provides investment management services to The Torray Fund, a series of the Trust (“Fund”). In accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Independent Trustees”) is required, on an annual basis, to consider the continuation of the Agreement with the Manager, and this must take place at an in-person meeting of the Board. The relevant provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) specifically provide that it is the duty of the Board to request and evaluate such information as the Board determines is necessary to allow them to properly consider the continuation of the Agreement, and it is the duty of the Manager to furnish the Trustees with such information that is responsive to their request.

At the regular meeting of the Board on September 13, 2017, the Board, including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the continuation of the Agreement. Prior to the meeting, the Trustees received and considered information from the Manager designed to provide the Trustees with the information necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement (“Support Materials”). Before voting to approve the continuation of the Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Support Materials with counsel to the Fund and the Independent Trustees, as well as a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the continuation of the Agreement. The Manager also met with the Trustees and provided further information regarding the management services it provides to the Fund under the Agreement (“Management Services”), including but not limited to information regarding its overall investment philosophy with respect to the Fund.

In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Agreement, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant to such determination, including the following: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services of the Management Services; (2) the investment performance of the Fund; (3) the cost of the Management Services and the profits that the Manager and its affiliate realize from the Manager’s relationship with the Fund; (4) the extent to which the Manager realizes economies of scale as the Fund grows and whether fees for the Management Services reflect these economies for the benefit of the Fund’s investors; (5) management fees paid by the Fund and the net and total expense ratios of the Fund and other similar mutual funds; and (6) any other benefits that the Manager derives from its relationship with the Fund.

Based upon the Manager’s presentation and Support Materials, the Board concluded that the overall arrangements between the Fund and the Manager as set forth in the Agreement are fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees paid and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis of the Trustees’ determination to approve the continuation of the Agreement are summarized below.

FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN CONNECTION WITH ITS

APPROVAL OF THE TRUST’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE MANAGER

(unaudited) (continued)

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. With respect to the nature, extent and quality of services that Manager renders, the Trustees considered the scope of services provided under the Agreement, which includes, but are not limited to, the following: (1) investing the Fund’s assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions; (2) making investment decisions and placing all orders for the purchase and sale of portfolio securities and cash instruments; (3) pursuant to its Operating Expense Limitation Agreement with the Trust, paying for the administration, fund accounting, custody, transfer agency and distribution services that are provided to the Fund; (4) monitoring the compliance of the Fund’s investment portfolio with applicable Federal securities laws and regulations and Internal Revenue standards; and (5) providing the interested Trustee, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) of the Fund, and paying the salaries, fees and expenses of such persons.  The Trustees also considered the long-term investment philosophy and the significant industry experience of the Manager’s personnel involved in servicing the Fund, noting their high quality. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the Manager’s brokerage and best-execution procedures and observed that they were reasonable and consistent with standard industry practice. The Trustees also noted that while the Manager is permitted to use soft dollars to acquire proprietary and third-party research, it receives only proprietary research and that such research is provided on an unsolicited basis and is not a motivation for the selection of broker-dealers. Finally, the Trustees discussed the state of the Manager’s compliance program, including the transition of CCO responsibilities from former CCO Janet Gallagher, who was appointed to be the Manager’s Director of Investment Operations, to the new CCO Suzanne Kellogg.  They further discussed with Ms. Kellogg the Manager’s increased emphasis on cybersecurity and the new liquidity rules affecting the Fund. The Board also noted the significant resources that the Manager had expended to enhance the compliance program.  The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager pursuant to the Agreement.

Performance of the Fund. The Board next reviewed the Fund’s performance as reported in the Meeting Materials for the period ending July 31, 2017.  The Trustees discussed the Manager’s focus on long-term investing and risk management, as well as the fact that the Fund tends to underperform in strong markets and outperform during periods of negative market activity.  The Trustees noted the Fund’s positive returns for all the reported time periods as of July 31, 2017, as well as its overall three star Morningstar rating for the same time period.  The Trustees further noted that despite the positive returns, the Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the one, three, five and 10 year periods ended July 31, 2017, and only slightly underperformed the benchmark for the since inception period ended July 31, 2017.  The Trustees observed that the Fund’s performance has generally been consistent with its benchmark.  After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the Fund’s performance.

Cost of Advisory Services and Profitability. The Trustees considered and discussed with the Manager the profitability to the Manager of its relationship with the Fund, the overall profitability of the Manager as of August 31, 2017, and the Manager’s balance sheet as of the same date.  The Trustees also discussed with the Manager its business succession planning, insurance coverage, existing new business, and potential new business opportunities.  Mr. Lane indicated that the Manager is dedicating significant resources to grow both its mutual fund and separate account businesses, and in that regard has entered into a marketing services agreement with ENDEAVOUR Investment Partners,

22

The Torray Fund

FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IN CONNECTION WITH ITS

APPROVAL OF THE TRUST’S MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE MANAGER

(unaudited) (continued)

LLC, a marketing consultant and strategist, to assist in the marketing of both the mutual funds and separate account businesses across all investment strategies.  The Trustees also discussed the growth of the two other mutual funds that the Manager sub-advises which have a different investment strategy and a different portfolio manager than the Fund, as well as another mutual fund that the Manager advises, also with a different investment strategy and a different portfolio manager than the Fund. The Trustees inquired and received responses from the Manager concerning how much each of these endeavors contributed to the Manager’s revenues and expenses relative to the revenues and expenses of the Fund. After further discussion, the Trustees  concluded  that  the  Manager’s  profitability  with respect to the Fund was  reasonable,  that  its  assets and revenues were sufficient to provide the services called for by the Agreement, and that the Manager’s assets, coupled with its insurance coverage, were sufficient to cover potential liabilities incurred under the Agreement.

Comparative Fee and Expense Data; Economies of Scale. The Trustees discussed the Fund’s management fee of 1.00% and its current expense ratio of 1.07%. The Trustees noted that the management fee payable to the Manager is in the form of a partial “unified fee,” an arrangement wherein the Manager pays certain expenses of the Fund from its management fee, and that comparative fee data for such arrangements is not readily available from data sources such as Morningstar. They also noted that the Manager has entered into an Operating Expense Limitation Agreement (“OELA”) with the Fund, which remains in effect.  The Trustees then discussed that the Manager receives a net management fee of approximately ninety basis points after payment of fees to service providers and other required waivers and reimbursements made pursuant to the OELA.  They also considered that because the Fund has no rule 12b-l or shareholder service fees, the Manager pays certain distribution and platform expenses exclusively from its own profits, noting that expense amounted to approximately five basis points.  The Trustees then focused their attention on the gross and net expense ratios of comparable funds, noting that the Fund’s expense ratio was slightly higher when compared to those funds within the Morningstar Large Value category, the Fund’s designated Morningstar category.  The Trustees discussed economies of scale with the Manager and considered the Manager’s representation that the Fund’s asset level is not high enough to warrant breakpoints in the management fee.  The Trustees also noted that the Manager advised 33 separate accounts in a similar investment style to that of the Fund, and that with respect to 32 of these accounts, the Manager charged a significantly lower basis point fee, while the 33rd account (whose purpose is to maintain a composite of this investment style) charged no management fee. The Trustees further noted however, that management of the Fund entails many additional regulatory and compliance responsibilities and higher costs, and therefore would be expected to have a higher fee. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the fees paid to the Manager under the Agreement and the Fund’s overall expenses were reasonable, and were not inflated to cover distribution-related expenses.

Other Benefits. The Trustees considered the Manager’s representation that it does not derive any other benefits from its relationship with the Fund and concluded that Manager does not receive any additional financial or other benefits from its relationship with the Fund.

ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

As of December 31, 2017 (unaudited)

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, and other fund expenses. Operating expenses, which are deducted directly from the Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund.

A mutual fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.

The table below illustrates the Fund’s cost in two ways:

Actual Fund Return This section helps you estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the operating expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” below.

Hypothetical 5% Return This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, and that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess the Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transactions fees, such as purchase or redemption fees, nor does it carry a “sales load.”

The calculation assumes no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

More information about the Fund’s expenses, including recent annual expense ratios, can be found in this report.  For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus.

	Beginning	Ending
	Account Value	Account Value	Expenses Paid
	July 1, 2017	December 31, 2017	During Period(1)
Based on Actual Fund Return(2)	$1,000.00	$1,076.00	$5.62
Based on Hypothetical 5% Return (before expenses)	$1,000.00	$1,019.80	$5.46

(1)	Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the most recent six-month period of 1.07%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 to reflect the one-half year period.
(2)	Based on the actual returns for the six-month period ended December 31, 2017 of 7.60%.

TAX INFORMATION

As of December 31, 2017 (unaudited)

We are required to advise you within 60 days of the Fund’s fiscal year end regarding the Federal tax status of certain distributions received by shareholders during such fiscal year. The information below is provided for the Fund’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2017. All designations are based on financial information available as of the date of this annual report and, accordingly are subject to change. For each item it is the intention of the Fund to designate the maximum amount permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder.

Qualified Dividend Income/Dividends Received Deduction

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, certain dividends paid by the Fund may be subject to a maximum tax rate of 23.8%, as provided for by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. The percentage of dividends declared from ordinary income designated as qualified dividend income was 100% for the Fund.

For corporate shareholders, the percent of ordinary income distributions qualifying for the corporate dividends received deduction for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, was 100% for the Fund.

The percentage of taxable ordinary income distributions that are designated as short-term capital gain distributions under Internal Revenue Section 871(k)(2)(C) for the Fund was 4.64%.

Dividends and distributions received by retirement plans such as IRA’s, Keogh-type plans and 403(b) plans need not be reported as taxable income. However, many retirement plan trusts may need this information for their annual information reporting.

The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

A copy of the registrant’s code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer is filed herewith.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The Registrant’s Board of Trustees has not designated an audit committee financial expert. The Registrant has determined that it will retain the services of an independent third party to assist it if circumstances arise that require specific investment company auditing expertise.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal periods.  “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the past fiscal year.  “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit.  “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including reviewing the Fund’s tax returns and distribution calculations.  There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant.  For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 the Fund’s principal accountant was BBD, LLP. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal periods for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

	FYE  12/31/2017	FYE  12/31/2016
Audit Fees	$22,000	$22,000
Audit-Related Fees	$0	$0
Tax Fees	$2,000	$2,000
All Other Fees	$0	$0

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre‑approve all audit and non‑audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The percentage of fees billed by BBD, LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement was as follows:

	FYE  12/31/2017	FYE 12/31/2016
Audit-Related Fees	0%	0%
Tax Fees	0%	0%
All Other Fees	0%	0%

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full‑time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billedor expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the past year.  The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.

Non-Audit Related Fees	FYE  12/31/2017	FYE  12/31/2016
Registrant	$0	$0
Registrant’s Investment Adviser	$0	$0
