Dear Shareholders,
Throughout the year, the ebb and flow in both the equity and bond markets reflected underlying optimism or angst amidst on again, off again updates on U.S./China trade negotiations. In mid-December, the White House and China announced a 'phase one' trade agreement; the deal, then light on the details, nevertheless de-escalated trade tensions. The deal canceled the 25% tariff on $160 billion of Chinese goods scheduled for mid-December yet retained tariffs on $370 billion of imports ($250 billion at 25%, and $120 billion at a reduced 7.5% rate). China agreed to purchase an extra $200 billion in U.S. agricultural, energy and manufactured products over the next two years, and develop a plan to implement practices regarding intellectual property rights. The agreement, while arguably achieving little regarding Chinese business practices, nevertheless delivered the sought after 'cease fire' in the trade war. Investors remained confident throughout the slow progress towards resolution that an agreement would alleviate some of the economic pressure for both economies. This optimism supported the markets' price gains during the quarter.
The U.S. economy remains resilient; fourth quarter GDP growth estimates anticipate a repeat of the third quarter's 2.1% GDP growth rate. The recent employment reports, with gains of over 400,000 jobs in November and December, an unemployment rate at 3.5%, a 50-year low, and, modest wage growth continue to support the economic growth forecast. That is, job growth helps support consumer spending which accounts for approximately 66% of the U.S. economy; the consumer portion of the domestic economy has offset the reduction in business spending related to trade uncertainties.
Across the globe, economies have managed modest growth despite the trade wars. The European Central Bank (ECB) continues to utilize negative interest rates to stimulate growth even though the long-term effectiveness of this strategy is increasingly problematic. Sweden, which introduced negative interest rates in 2015, one year after the ECB, discontinued the practice in December; the Riksbank determined that lending did not grow as expected because consumers instead hoarded cash. The policy continues in Japan, Switzerland and Denmark.
December elections in the United Kingdom provided the means for Prime Minister Boris Johnson to "get Brexit done," thereby removing the dark cloud over the UK and the European Union since 2016. The outright majority for the Conservative Party, the largest margin of victory since 1987, handed the Labour Party its largest loss since 1935. The unassailable victory for the Conservative Party, and Parliament's subsequent vote in favor of the Withdrawal Agreement, paved the way for the UK's departure from the EU on January 31st of this year and the beginning of an 11-month transition period.
Oil prices have ranged between the low $50s to low $60s per barrel. OPEC+ (including Russia) continue to reduce production in order to maintain a supply and demand equilibrium; meanwhile, geopolitical events in the Middle East remain a source of on-going concerns to oil supplies and prices. In the U.S., shale drilling has leveled off following multi-year growth. The recent emergence of energy as a significant component of the U.S. economy has helped to keep inflation rates low while supporting consumer and industrial products and services across the domestic economy.
The Federal Reserve, following its interest rate cut in mid-September and as widely expected, announced a further 25 basis point cut in late October. At that time, Chairman Powell stated, "The current ... [interest-rate] policy is likely to remain appropriate" as long as the economy expands moderately and the labor market stays strong. At the final, mid-December meeting of the year, the Fed confirmed that a 'no-interest rate change' policy would likely continue through 2020. The rate of inflation, which has long remained below the Fed's 2% target, continues to provide flexibility in monetary policy decision making.

Message
from the chairman continued
All of the eleven market sectors in the S&P 500® Index rose by double digits during the year; three of the four largest sectors by market weight, Information Technology (50.32%), Financials (32.13%), and Communication Services (32.69%), were also the top performers. Other sectors with impressive gains included Industrials (29.38%), Consumer Discretionary (27.94%), Consumer Staples (27.61%) and Health Care (20.82%).
Information Technology, the largest sector by market weight, contributed 32% of the Index's annual performance. Two companies, Apple, and Microsoft, which alone represented 7.8% of the Index by market weight, contributed 16% of the Index's results.
The yields on U.S. Treasuries declined during the year in reflecting both market demand and the Fed's actions to reduce the Fed Funds rate. The yield on the 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill fell from 2.45% to 1.55%; similarly, the yield on the 2-year U.S. Treasury Note fell 90 basis points to 1.58%. The yields on longer-term Treasuries also declined; the yield on the 10-year fell by 77 basis points, to 1.92%, while the yield on the 30-year declined by 63 basis points to 2.39%. Starting in May, and continuing into early October, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note remained below the 3-month T-bill; and, the yield on the 2-year Treasury Note remained below the 3-month T-bill from March through late October. Normally, an "inverted yield curve" condition, which occurred in 2019 for the first time in twelve years, might indicate an upcoming recession. However, most economists consider this to be an anomaly related to the trade disputes. Interest rates began to stabilize in the fourth quarter following the Fed's interest rate cut and the trade agreement.
Looking Ahead
The global outlook is decidedly more positive than expectations one year ago when trade disputes generated fears of a potential recession. The U.S. and China have signed a phase one trade deal; the USMCA agreement to replace NAFTA, recently approved by the U.S., awaits Parliamentary approval in Canada; and the United Kingdom's exit from the EU has advanced to the challenges of implementation Brexit's 11-month transition period. Even so, trade-related constraints on business spending may continue as many tariffs remain in effect.
The outlook for interest rates and inflation remains stable. Chairman Powell, in meetings with both Houses of Congress, reiterated that the economy continues to expand; and that the Fed, which otherwise plans no interest rate changes, would be prepared to further reduce rates, if necessary, should the economy stumble. The Federal Reserve historically tries to maintain a neutral monetary policy during an election year.
Historically, election years tend to reward investors as incumbents seek to provide a positive economic backdrop for their re-election campaigns. And, inflationary concerns and the risk of a recession remains low as the Fed seeks to maintain a neutral approach to the economy. Overall market volatility may remain low; still, certain sectors may experience turbulence in response to specific market events.
Many analysts expect a recovery in global economic growth following the near-recessionary slide in 2019. Currently, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development forecasts 2020 global growth at 3% and U.S. growth at 2%. The U.S. GDP forecast anticipates a somewhat more modest 1.5% expansion in 2020. Any additional improvement in trade relations with China and elsewhere would benefit these forecasts. A cautionary note emerged early in 2020 with the emergence in China of the deadly coronavirus. Investors remain vigilant to assess the potential global impact as the virus has spread to multiple countries and challenged

health officials to contain the virus's spread. We anticipate that, as the health threat subsides, the modest economic expansion will continue as interest and inflation rates remain low and business managers remain cautious.

Discussion with Portfolio Managers February 26, 2020

Fund Strategy
The Fund employs a conservative strategy that seeks to achieve total return through current income and capital appreciation. The Fund's fixed income holdings, typically investment-grade bonds and preferred stocks, are actively managed to seek the greatest income and return potential while minimizing risk. The Fund's equity holdings are a focused selection of 30-40 dividend-paying, blue chip stocks; the equity allocation depends upon economic and market conditions. When interest rates are low and the economic outlook is optimistic, the Fund's equity allocation, which typically ranges between 20% and 40%, often increases above 40% to capture dividend income as well as opportunities for price appreciation. During the period, the allocation to common stocks remained between 45% and 50%. Equity investments are selected based upon a history of price stability, long-term growth potential, and attractive dividend income.
Fund Performance1
During 2019, Class A shares rose 11.26% to underperform the Fund's the equity benchmark, the S&P 500® Index (31.49%), and outperform the fixed income benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Corporate Bond Index (10.14%).
Overall Fund performance is best compared to a blended return2 based on the benchmarks (22.74% for the 1-year period) even though the composition of the Fund's fixed income and equity holdings differ from their respective benchmarks. Importantly, the Fund maintained substantially lower volatility than the benchmark as demonstrated by the Fund's one-year beta3 of 0.50 vs. the S&P 500® Index as of December 31st.
The Fund's combination of stock selection and sector allocation in Health Care, Industrials, and Consumer Staples outperformed the Index's results in each of these sectors. In particular, the Fund's overweighting in Health Care companies Abbvie and CVS, Industrials holdings Fastenal and Lockheed Martin, and Consumer company Proctor & Gamble, benefitted the Fund. The most significant contributors to performance during the year were global pharmaceutical giant Abbvie, Target, and Microsoft. Target (+94.0%) increased its earnings outlook and reported impressive multi-year growth in same store sales and digital sales with same-day fulfillment. Microsoft (+55.3%), now the second largest provider of cloud-based services, reported a 39% year-over-year increase in cloud services revenue, and a 38% increase in quarterly net income.
The Fund's most significant detractors from returns were Kohl's (-23.2%); Tapestry (-20.1%), and Pfizer (-10.2%). Retailer Kohl's lowered guidance and reported a decline in revenues, income and earnings per share. Tapestry, the corporate entity which includes the Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman lines, continues to suffer from integration challenges, a decline in same store sales for Kate Spade, and delays in developing and delivering product for the Stuart Weitzman line. Pfizer reported a decline in revenues and earnings per share as the company is in the midst of a consumer healthcare joint venture with GlaxoSmithKline and a restructuring of the company's biopharma business into a new Upjohn division to include Mylan-Japan.
Fixed income holdings were primarily short-to-intermediate-term bonds (typically maturing in five years or less). During the period, several of the Fund's corporate bonds matured or were called in as issuers retired debt. The Fund holds corporate bonds and preferred stock of companies in the Financials sector;

most of these are variable rate securities with interest rates that adjust based on the 3-month LIBOR rate or the year-over-year change in the consumer price index ("CPI"); these investments provide both principal protection and attractive yields.
The Fund's fixed income allocation also reduces price volatility. The Fund's 3.56% dividend yield is significantly higher than the Barclays Capital benchmark's 2.42% yield while the Fund's fixed income holdings provided a 3.35% yield to maturity (or call) with a weighted average duration (1.50 years as of December 31st) substantially shorter than the 4.28 year weighted average duration of the benchmark, an unmanaged bond portfolio. Duration measures a portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate movements; when rates increase by 1%, the value of a portfolio with a 4-year duration would decrease by approximately 4%.

Discussion with Portfolio Managers February 26, 2020
George A. Henning and Jingjing Yan, CFA
Fund Strategy
The Fund is designed for investors seeking to participate in the equity markets with reduced volatility. The Fund's strategy combines high-quality stocks across all market capitalizations with investment-grade corporate bonds. We identify leading, well-managed companies that generate high returns on capital and consistent earnings over a full economic cycle. We look to purchase stocks at a discount to our internal price targets with the expectation that, as the companies' growth strategies unfold, the stocks will appreciate over the medium-to-long-term. The Fund may experience periods of underperformance when short-term market trends overshadow long-term outlooks; yet, over time, performance should reflect the strength of these companies as they demonstrate the ability to grow through various economic and business cycles.
We manage the Fund's asset allocation based on our assessment of risk-appropriate investments in the context of the overall economic, market, and interest rate outlook. This balanced approach enables the Fund to take advantage of specific growth opportunities while reducing overall risk.
Fund Performance1
Class A shares of the Fund rose 12.28% in 2019 to underperform the Fund's equity benchmark, the S&P 500® Index (31.49%), and outperform the fixed income benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Intermediate Corporate Bond Index (10.14%).
The equity portion of the Fund includes a 54% allocation to large cap stocks; mid-cap stocks and small cap stocks represent 19% and 27%, respectively. Despite the mid-cap and small cap stock allocations, the Fund's one-year beta2, as compared against the S&P 500® Index, was 0.79. The results are in-line with the Fund's investment objective of participating in the equity markets with reduced volatility. The Fund's fixed income holdings remained concentrated in investment-grade issuers and shorter-term maturities (less than five years); the Fund's average duration (2.28 years) is significantly less than the Barclays Capital benchmark's 4.28 years.
The Fund's combination of stock selection and sector allocation in Communication Services, Health Care and Industrials outperformed the Index's results in each of these sectors. In particular, the Fund's overweighting in Alphabet Class A (+28.2%), CVS (+13.4%), AbbVie and container leasing company, Triton International, (+29.4%) benefitted performance. CVS reported a 32% growth in revenues for the year with the successful integration of its November 2018 acquisition of Aetna Inc. while Triton gained due to a combination of high utilization rates, cost savings and a 6.83% dividend yield (as of year-end). The Fund's top performer during the year was Apple (+86.2%) which soared on record quarterly revenues (earnings per share rose 19%) driven by strong demand for iPhone 11 and Wearables.
Underperformance, and relative over- or under-weightings compared to the benchmark in Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology and Energy stocks hurt the Fund. The Fund's most significant detractors during the year were Ulta Beauty (+3.4%); Conn's (-34.3%), and Navistar (+11.5%). Ulta Beauty, the largest U.S. beauty retailer, disappointed with lower sales growth due to delays in new product introductions. Conn's, a specialty retailer which offers in-house credit, reported an 8.4% decline in same store sales due to increased competition and price deflation in large screen televisions; still, the company continues to open new stores, including its initial entry into the Florida market in 2020. Truck manufacturer and distributor, Navistar suffered due to analyst expectations for lower sales in commercial Class 8 trucks. In late January 2020, the much anticipated buyout announcement from Traton (formerly Volkswagen Truck and Bus) was priced at a 21% premium over the year-end valuation.

Samuel C. Coquillard
Fund Strategy
The Fund uses a value-oriented, focused portfolio strategy (25 holdings as of 12/31/19) to invest in more conservative, less volatile U.S. stocks that pay attractive dividends. The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation with reduced volatility. Holdings concentrate on mega-cap stocks of well-managed companies with dominant market positions, strong financials, and track records of steady growth. The weighted average market capitalization of Fund holdings ($304 billion as of 12/31/19) is over five times larger than the average of the benchmark S&P 500® Index. The mega-cap emphasis helps achieve stable total returns with moderate volatility relative to the broader market; as of December 31st, the Fund's one- and five-year betas1 were 1.00. The weighted average dividend yield was 2.05%; several holdings, including AT&T, MetLife, Coca-Cola, Wells Fargo, and United Parcel Service, paid dividends in excess of 3.00%.
Fund Performance2
During 2019, Class A shares rose 27.87% to underperform the benchmark S&P 500® Index's 31.49% gain. The Fund's combination of stock selection and sector allocation in Information Technology, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, and Communication Services outperformed the Index's results in each of these sectors. In particular, the Fund's overweighting in Industrials holding Illinois Tool Works, Information Technology companies MasterCard and Apple, and Consumer Staples company Sysco, benefitted the Fund. The Fund's top contributors to returns during the year were Apple, Mastercard and Microsoft. Apple (+86.2%) soared on record quarterly revenues (earnings per share rose 19%) driven by strong demand for iPhone 11 and Wearables. Mastercard (+58.3%) reported a 13% increase in dollar volume and a 6% decrease in operating expenses. Microsoft (+55.3%), now the second largest provider of cloud-based services, reported a 39% year-over-year increase in cloud services revenue, and a 38% increase in quarterly net income.
Underperformance, and relative over- or under-weightings compared to the benchmark in Financials, Industrials and Consumer Discretionary stocks hurt the Fund. The Fund's most significant detractors during the period were FedEx (-6.3%), ExxonMobil (2.3%), and Wells Fargo (16.8%). FedEx reported lower operating results, higher ground delivery costs and the loss of business with Amazon (the one-month ban was lifted in January) as the company reworks its operations to better compete in the e-commerce arena. ExxonMobil reported lower earnings due to depressed oil prices and higher expenses. Wells Fargo's earnings losses reflect the bank's litigation accruals related to its retail sales practices; in February, the bank's new leadership agreed to a $3 billion settlement with the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Fund's positioning in mega-cap holdings is suitable for investors who want to participate in the equity markets while incurring lower volatility. The Fund typically outperforms its benchmark during a correction or bear market and trails during a strong bull market.

Discussion with Portfolio Manager February 26, 2020
George A. Henning
Fund Strategy
Mid-cap companies provide distinctive advantages for long-term investors by combining the strategic flexibility of smaller businesses with the economies of scale typically enjoyed by large corporations. The Fund uses a fundamental, bottom-up strategy to identify leading mid-cap companies with attractive opportunities for long-term appreciation. Our focused, value-oriented approach selects approximately 30 to 40 stocks; we expect to hold each investment for 3 to 5 years, or longer. Our long-term investment horizon typically reduces turnover and contributes to tax efficiency by minimizing the realization of short-term gains. For the year, the Fund's annualized turnover rate of 12% was consistent with its five-year average annual turnover rate of 12.2%1. The Fund invests in companies that are within the market cap range of the Russell Midcap® Index (between $2.4 and $35.5 billion as of the Index's latest reconstitution in May 2019). The Fund's average (mean) market cap of $7.8 billion (as of 12/31/19) underscores the Fund's focus on smaller mid-cap holdings.
Fund Performance2
During 2019, Class A shares rose 9.59% to underperform the benchmark Russell Midcap® Index's 30.54% gain. The Fund's larger weighting in market sectors that typically respond well during periods of economic growth, such as Industrials, and Consumer Discretionary, outperformed the Index's results in these sectors. In particular, the Fund's overweight positions in Helix Energy Solutions, and transportation holdings, including railroad companies Genesee & Wyoming and Kansas City Southern, and trucking company Knight-Swift Transportation, benefitted the Fund. Helix Energy Solutions (+78.0%), a provider of subsea construction, maintenance and salvage services for the offshore natural gas and oil industry, reported strong equipment utilization and projected a debt-free balance sheet in 2020. Kansas City Southern (60.5%), which operates rail lines throughout the north-south corridor into Mexico, rose due to the anticipated signing of the USMCA replacement for NAFTA. Railway company Genesee & Wyoming (51.2%) rose in response to acquisition-related speculation in March; a deal was announced in July at a 39.5% premium early-March prices. The acquisition closed in late December.
The Fund was underweighted in the Information Technology, Financials, Health Care, Utilities and Real Estate sectors; the Fund's lack of representation in these areas (16.5% weighting compared to 57.6% for the benchmark) hurt the Fund. The Fund's most significant detractors to returns were McDermott International, Spirit Airlines and Noble Corporation. Oil & gas engineering company, McDermott International (-75.1%), struggled to manage the debt incurred with the 2018 purchase of Chicago Bridge & Iron construction company. Spirit Airlines (-30.4%) underperformed due to increased price competition from the major airlines. Offshore drilling contractor Noble Corporation (-53.4%) continues to suffer from the protracted recovery in offshore drilling projects; the company, though, reported higher rates of operating activity. The Fund may continue to hold positions in companies with depressed valuations yet favorable fundamental outlooks for appreciation potential.
1 Annual turnover: 2% (2018); 9% (2017); 13% (2016); and 25% (2015).

Discussion with Portfolio Manager February 26, 2020
George A. Henning
Fund Strategy
The Fund employs a value-oriented approach to identify when high-quality, well-managed companies with attractive growth outlooks become undervalued. Periods of heightened market volatility often create opportunities to strategically invest in these companies for long-term appreciation. The Fund takes a business ownership view in seeking to identify stocks that are undervalued or temporarily out-of-favor and have a catalyst for multi-year growth. The Fund focuses on a limited number of small cap stocks (typically 25 to 50 holdings), including a significant number of micro-cap stocks which tend to attract limited analyst attention. Investing in small and micro-cap stocks may contribute to above-average volatility; yet, smaller, well-positioned companies can provide superior long-term results. Partly due to the strategic allocation to undervalued micro-cap stocks, the Fund's one-year beta1 was 1.17, as of December 31st, in comparison to the Russell 2000® Index.
Fund Performance2
During 2019, Class A shares rose 15.59% to underperform the benchmark Russell 2000® Index's 25.53% gain. The Fund's larger weighting in market sectors that typically respond well during periods of economic growth, such as Industrials, Energy, and Consumer Discretionary, weighed on performance; these sectors accounted for more than 83% of Fund assets compared to a weighting of 30% for the benchmark. Fund holdings in Industrials, including trucking company SAIA, services company DXP Enterprises, truck manufacturer and retailer Rush Enterprises, container leasing company Triton International and Energy company Helix Energy Solutions outperformed. The Fund's top contributors to returns during the year were Helix Energy Solutions (+78.0%), SAIA (+66.8%), and DXP Enterprises (+43.0%). Helix Energy, a provider of subsea construction, maintenance and salvage services for the offshore natural gas and oil industry, reported strong equipment utilization and projected a debt-free balance sheet in 2020. SAIA's geographic expansion into the Northeast is ahead of schedule in generating better-than-expected revenues and earnings. Industrial products and service distributor and manufacturer, DXP Enterprises, continued to increase the company's market share; the Pumping Solutions division benefits from advantages in cost, quality and delivery times; also, the company's efforts to expand into industrial applications diminishes its previous reliance on the energy sector.
The Fund's most significant detractors to returns were Conn's (-34.3%), Independence Drilling Contractors (-68.0%) and home décor superstore At Home Group (-70.5%). Conn's, a specialty retailer which offers in-house credit, reported an 8.4% decline in same store sales due to increased competition and price deflation in large screen televisions; still, the company continues to open new stores, including its initial entry into the Florida market in 2020. Independence Drilling Contractors declined sharply on diminished drilling activity and the idling of four drilling rigs pending upgrades and improved market conditions. At Home Group declined on lower same store sales, decreased margins; even so, the company opened nine new stores in the most recent quarter and reported higher net sales. Several Consumer stocks and Energy holdings weighed on performance. Also, the Fund was underweighted in the Information Technology, Financials, Health Care, Utilities and Real Estate sectors; the Fund's lack of representation in these areas (10.1% weighting compared to 60.1% for the benchmark) hurt the Fund.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Performance quoted represents past performance. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. Returns include reinvested dividends and capital gains. Returns for Class A shares reflect a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%; and returns for Class C shares reflect the deduction of a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% on shares sold within the first year of purchase. Returns do not take into account individual taxes which may reduce actual returns when shares are sold. Small cap stocks typically have fewer financial resources and may carry higher risks and experience greater volatility than large cap stocks. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Call (800) 989-6693 for the most recent month-end performance.
1 Fund results are shown for Class A shares and reflect deduction of the maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% on the $10,000 investment for a net amount invested of $9,425. At the end of the same period, a $10,000 investment in Class C shares and Class I shares would have been valued at $15,846, and $17,998, respectively, and no contingent deferred sales charges would apply. The inception date is 02/08/93 for Class A shares; 04/01/98 for Class C shares; and 10/09/06 for Class I shares. Performance of the share classes will vary based on the difference in charges and expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in the Index. Index results assume reinvestment of dividends, but, unlike the Fund's results, do not reflect sales charges, commissions or expenses.

Expense Examples
(unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
The following transaction costs are not included in the expenses shown in the table and, if applicable, would increase the expenses that you paid over the period: (1) a front-end sales charge (load) of 4.75% on Class A shares of the Income and Equity Fund and 5.75% on Class A shares of all other funds; (2) a 2% redemption fee if you sell or exchange shares within 30 days of purchase, with certain exceptions. The redemption fee does not apply to: (a) redemptions under an automatic withdrawal program or periodic asset reallocation plan, required minimum distributions (RMD), employer mandated distributions from a qualified plan, or redemptions under a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO); (b) redemptions to pay for expenses related to terminal illness, extended hospital or nursing home care, or other serious medical conditions, including death; (c) redemptions of shares acquired through dividend or capital gains reinvestments; (d) loans from a qualified plan account; and (e) redemptions initiated by the Fund; and (3) a $10 service fee on each exchange after the first five exchanges in each calendar year.
The following ongoing costs are not included in the expenses shown in the table and, if applicable, would increase the expenses that you paid over the period: (1) a $12 low balance fee on accounts with balances of less than $250 as of September 30th of each calendar year and no investment activity (excluding reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains) during the prior calendar year or the first nine months of the current calendar year. This fee does not apply to IRAs, qualified plan accounts, or Coverdell Education Savings Accounts; (2) a $15 annual custodial fee on IRAs, SEPs, SIMPLE IRAs, and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts; and (3) a $20 annual custodial fee on 403(b) accounts.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which in not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
The following transaction costs are not included in the expenses shown in the table and, if applicable, would increase the expenses that you paid over the period: (1) a front-end sales charge (load) of 4.75% on Class A shares of the Income and Equity Fund and 5.75% on Class A shares of all other funds; (2) a 2% redemption fee if you sell or exchange shares within 30 days of purchase, with certain exceptions. The redemption fee does not apply to: (a) redemptions under an automatic withdrawal program or periodic asset reallocation plan, required minimum distributions (RMD), employer mandated distributions from a qualified plan, or redemptions under a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO); (b) redemptions to pay for expenses related to terminal illness, extended hospital or nursing home care, or other serious medical conditions, including death; (c) redemptions of shares acquired through dividend or capital gains reinvestments; (d) loans from a qualified plan account; and (e) redemptions initiated by the Fund; and (3) a $10 service fee on each exchange after the first five exchanges in each calendar year.
The following ongoing costs are not included in the expenses shown in the table and, if applicable, would increase the expenses that you paid over the period: (1) a $12 low balance fee on accounts with balances of less than $250 as of September 30th of each calendar year and no investment activity (excluding reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains) during the prior calendar year or the first nine months of the current calendar year. This fee does not apply to IRAs, qualified plan accounts, or Coverdell Education Savings Accounts; (2) a $15 annual custodial fee on IRAs, SEPs, SIMPLE IRAs, and Coverdell Education Savings Accounts; and (3) a $20 annual custodial fee on 403(b) accounts.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
Note 1. Organization
Pacific Advisors Fund Inc. (the "Company") is an open-end diversified investment management company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the 40 Act"), as amended. The Company currently offers five Funds: Income and Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund (individually, a "Fund," or collectively, the "Funds"). Each Fund is a separate investment portfolio of the Company with a distinct investment objective, investment program, policies and restrictions.
The Income and Equity Fund seeks to provide current income and, secondarily, long-term capital appreciation. The Balanced Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation and income consistent with reduced risk. The Large Cap Value Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Mid Cap Value Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Small Cap Value Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation through investment in small capitalization companies.
The Funds offer Class A and Class C shares. In addition to Class A and Class C shares, the Small Cap Value Fund also offers Class I shares. Each Class has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges except that Class A and Class C each has exclusive voting rights with respect to its distribution plan. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and the common expenses of each Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each Class based on the relative net assets of each Class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each Class of shares differs in its respective service and distribution expenses and may differ in its transfer agent, registration, and certain other Class-specific fees and expenses.
The Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Company's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Company has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies."
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
A. Security Valuation and Fair Value Measurement. Securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs), listed on a national securities exchange and certain over-the-counter ("OTC") issues traded on the NASDAQ national market system are valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of the New York Stock Exchange. OTC issues not quoted on the NASDAQ system, and other equity securities for which no sale price is available, are valued at the last bid price as obtained from published sources or real time quote services, where available, and otherwise from brokers who are market makers for such securities. Fixed Income securities, which are typically purchased and held as odd lots (less than $1 million) are valued based on bid prices for institutional round lot positions (typically $1 million or greater); round lot prices often reflect more favorable pricing than odd lot holdings. For securities that mature in 60 days or less, the Funds may utilize the amortized cost method of valuation if it is reasonable to conclude it approximates fair value. In determining the fair value of other debt securities, Pacific Global Investment Management Company, Inc. (the "Investment Manager") utilizes independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (the "Board") using one or more of the following valuation techniques:
(1) a matrix pricing approach that considers market inputs including, in approximate order of priority, the following: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications; market indicators, industry and economic events. Evaluators may prioritize inputs differently on any given day for any security based on market conditions, and not all inputs listed are available for use in the evaluation process for each security evaluation on any given day; (2) a comparison of the value of the borrower's outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; and/or (3) a discounted cash flow analysis. Fair value determinations are made by the Investment Manager based on the Company's Fair Value Procedure, as adopted by the Board. In conducting its assessment and analysis for the purpose of determining fair value, the Investment Manager uses its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising the relevant factors, including examining the source and nature of the quotations, to validate that the quotations and prices are representative of fair value.
Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of each Fund's investments. For financial statements, these inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below. Level 1 inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 inputs are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar securities and quoted prices in inactive markets. Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Equity securities (common and preferred stock) that are actively traded and market priced are typically classified as Level 1 securities. Fixed income securities are typically classified as Level 2 securities. The Funds had no Level 3 holdings during the year ended December 31, 2019.
B. Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with maturities of less than three months when acquired to be cash equivalents. For cash management purposes, each Fund may concentrate cash with the Fund's custodian, United Missouri Bank, ("UMB"). This typically results in cash balances exceeding the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limits.
C. Security Transactions and Investment Income. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premium or discount on debt securities are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method.
D. Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. The Income and Equity Fund declares and distributes dividends of its net investment income, if any, quarterly. The Balanced Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund declare and distribute dividends of their net investment income, if any, annually. In addition, each Fund declares and distributes a capital gain dividend, if any, annually. The Board determines the amount and timing of such payments.
E. Federal Income Tax. The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and for the year ended December 31, 2019 and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements. Tax years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 are still subject to examination by major federal jurisdictions. Tax years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 are still subject to examination by major state jurisdictions.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
At December 31, 2019, components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | Income and Equity Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Large Cap Value Fund | | Mid Cap Value Fund | | Small Cap Value Fund | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | | |
Undistributed long-term gains | | | 138,571 | | | | 74,522 | | | | 246,156 | | | | - | | | | 639,076 | | |
Post October loss | | | - | | | | - | | | | | | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation on investments | | | 1,559,760 | | | | 577,988 | | | | 3,165,598 | | | | 621,570 | | | | 3,251,512 | | |
Accumulated earnings | | $ | 1,698,331 | | | $ | 652,510 | | | $ | 3,411,754 | | | $ | 621,570 | | | $ | 3,890,588 | | |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and characterization of certain income items, if any.
As of December 31, 2019, the Funds had no accumulated net realized losses on investment transactions that represent capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund had no capital losses carried forward under the provisions of the Act that were utilized.
F. Reclassification of Capital Accounts. Distributions of net investment income and realized gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due to differing treatments for items such as net operating losses, reclassification of dividends and return of capital. To the extent that these differences are permanent in nature, reclassifications are made among the net asset accounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Net assets and net asset value per share are not affected by these reclassifications.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, reclassifications among the components of net assets are as follows:
| | Accumulated Earnings | | Paid in Capital | |
Income and Equity Fund | | $ | 55,608 | | | $ | (55,608 | ) | |
Balanced Fund | | | 141,866 | | | | (141,866 | ) | |
Large Cap Value Fund | | | 179,017 | | | | (179,017 | ) | |
Mid Cap Value Fund | | | 251,437 | | | | (251,437 | ) | |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 659,703 | | | | (659,703 | ) | |
The reclassifications were due to net investment losses incurred by the Funds, which are not permitted to be carried forward for tax purposes , as well as differing book and tax treatment of certain securities.
G. Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and footnotes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 3. Investment Management, Distributor and Other Related Party Transactions
The Company and the Funds have entered into investment management agreements ("Management Agreements") with the Investment Manager.
The Management Agreements provide for investment management fees, payable monthly, and calculated at the maximum annual rate of 0.75% of average net assets for the Income and Equity, Balanced, Large Cap Value and Small Cap Value Funds and 1.00% of average net assets for the Mid Cap Value Fund.
In accordance with Expense Limitation Agreements with the Company, the Investment Manager waives its respective management fees to the extent that the actual operating expenses of the following Funds exceed the following thresholds:
| | Class A | | Class C | |
Income and Equity Fund | | | 1.95 | % | | | 2.70 | % | |
Large Cap Value Fund | | | 2.65 | % | | | 3.40 | % | |

The Investment Manager does not have any rights to recover fees it waives, with respect to any of the Funds.

("PGFD"), the principal underwriter for the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager, received commissions on sales of capital stock, after deducting amounts allowed to authorized distributors as commissions. In addition, PGFD, as a registered broker-dealer, may act as broker for the Funds, in conformity with Rule 17e-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Funds or PGFD may subsidize the amount of commissions charged by the clearing firm for small trades; if so, the Brokerage Commission Received / (Paid) shown below may be negative. The Company's Board has approved procedures for evaluating the reasonableness of commissions paid to PGFD and periodically reviews these procedures.

Note 7. Bank Borrowings
Each Fund may borrow money to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, as amended, or any rules, exemptions or interpretations thereunder that may be adopted, granted or issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the 1940 Act, a mutual fund may borrow up to one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks for any purpose, and may borrow up to 5% of its total assets from banks or other lenders for temporary purposes. Each Fund may borrow to facilitate portfolio transactions or meet redemptions. The Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, and Small Cap Value Fund also may borrow money to invest in portfolio securities. Each Fund has the ability to borrow, from UMB, on an unsecured basis, at 3.75% over the Federal Funds rate. As of December 31, 2019, Income & Equity Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund had borrowings from UMB with amounts of $3,660, $79,098, $18,870 and $188,129, respectively, and were paying interest at 5.23% per annum on their outstanding borrowings. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Income & Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund had a daily average borrowing of $60,579, $20,948, $36,975, $11,409 and $79,098, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.90%, 5.55%, 5.57%, 5.64% and 5.47% per annum, respectively. No compensating balances were required.
Note 8. Recent Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The new ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the policy for the timing of transfers between levels. For investment companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is allowed. Management adopted the implications of the ASU and determined no material impact on the financial statement disclosures.
Note 9. Subsequent Events
On February 21, 2020, the Board of Directors for the Funds approved a proposal, subject to shareholder approval, to dissolve and liquidate the Funds, which include the Income and Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, on or about March 30, 2020 (the liquidation date). In anticipation of the dissolution and liquidation, the Funds closed to investments effective as of the close of business on February 21, 2020.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of Pacific Advisors Fund Inc.
and the Shareholders of Income and Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Large Cap Value Fund,
Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Income and Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund, each a series of shares of beneficial interest in Pacific Advisors Fund Inc. (the "Funds"), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2019, and the related statements 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 Funds as of December 31, 2019, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and their 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.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' 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 Funds 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 Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their 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 Funds' 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 included 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, 2019 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.

Disclosure Regarding the Board's Approval
of the Funds' Advisory Contracts (Unaudited)
The Board of Directors, including a majority of the Independent Directors, most recently approved the Investment Management Agreements (the "Agreements") for the Funds at its meeting held on August 15, 2019 (the "Meeting"). At the Meeting, the Board approved the continuation of the Agreements by and between Pacific Advisors Fund Inc. (the "Corporation"), on behalf of each of its Funds, and Pacific Global Investment Management Company, Inc. ("PGIMC").
In approving the Agreements, the Board considered materials relating to, among other matters: (1) the financial condition and profitability of PGIMC, including information regarding PGIMC's cost of providing services, as well as comparative fee and expense information for a peer group of funds; (2) investment performance of each Fund over various periods, including information comparing the performance of each Fund with a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices; (3) the services provided by PGIMC to the Funds; (4) sales and redemption data for each Fund; (5) the extent to which economies of scale could be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect any economies of scale for the Funds' investors; (6) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which each Fund invests; and (7) "fall-out" benefits realized by PGIMC (i.e., ancillary benefits derived by PGIMC and its affiliates from PGIMC's relationship with the Funds). The Board also periodically considers other material facts such as the allocation of each Fund's brokerage commissions, each Fund's record of compliance with its investment policies and restrictions on personal securities transactions, and the nature, cost, and character of non- investment management services provided by PGIMC and its affiliates. In approving the Agreements, the Board relied on all information presented to it over the course of the year.
Prior to the Meeting, the Independent Directors met separately with independent counsel to review the materials provided. Based on its evaluation of all material factors, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, determined that the Agreements were in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders and that the fees to be paid to PGIMC under the Agreements were fair and reasonable in relationship to the services to be rendered thereunder and in light of the factors considered. During its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor as all important or controlling, and individual Directors may have weighed the same factors differently. The following summaries do not detail every matter considered. Matters considered by the Board included the following:
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board examined the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by PGIMC to the Funds. The Board reviewed PGIMC's key personnel in providing investment management services to the Funds, as well as the changes in such personnel, and the duties that such personnel perform for the Funds. The Board considered the qualifications and experience of PGIMC's portfolio management team and PGIMC's commitment of its resources to portfolio management services. The Board considered PGIMC's responsibilities under the Agreements in serving as the Funds' investment manager, including responsibilities for investment research and stock selection; administration of the Funds' daily business operations; supervision of the Funds' transfer agent and administrative services agent; monitoring adherence to the Funds' investment restrictions; monitoring compliance with various policies and procedures of the Funds; and responsiveness to the Independent Directors. The Board was provided with, and considered information regarding, PGIMC's trading; operations; compliance; and investment research functions. The Board considered PGIMC's marketing strategy with respect to the Funds and the current asset levels of the Funds. The Board also considered the Funds' compliance program, the compliance and risk management reports periodically furnished to the Board, and the results of any regulatory exams. The Board concluded that the Funds have the potential to benefit from the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by PGIMC under the Agreements.

Investment Performance of PGIMC and the Funds. The Board considered the performance of PGIMC and the Funds, including each Fund's year-to-date, one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since-inception performance for the periods ended June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018; as well as certain comparative performance information sourced by an independent data service for each Fund's benchmark(s) and funds PGIMC considered peers of the Funds. The Board was provided information regarding PGIMC's investment decision making process and trade execution policies and strategies. After reviewing the Funds' performance records, including performance relative to the Funds' benchmarks, peers and, with respect to the Balanced Fund and Income and Equity Fund, the blended returns of the Fund's benchmarks, and their investment objectives and strategies and PGIMC's role in the overall Corporation's complex, the Board noted the challenging market conditions affecting the recent performance of the Funds; the Board remained very attentive to the substantial underperformance over the more recent and longer-term periods and the very high relative expenses.
Among other factors, the Board considered:
(i) with respect to the Small Cap Value Fund: the Fund's performance over the year-to-date and one-year periods has lagged its peers due, in large part, to volatile conditions in the fourth quarter 2018 and second quarter 2019; the strong performance over the three year period when the Fund was ranked in the top 20% of its Lipper category, and its performance surpassed the average for its Lipper category, and 7 of its 10 peer funds; the Fund's disappointing longer-term performance in light of challenging market conditions; and management's explanation of the Fund's investment strategy, portfolio composition and long-term growth potential;
(ii) with respect to the Mid Cap Value Fund: the impact of recent volatility (in the fourth quarter of 2018 and the second quarter of 2019) leading to underperformance for the one-year period; the Fund's year-to-date performance from January 1 through September 30, 2018, and from January 1 through March 31, 2019, when the Fund surpassed the average for its Lipper category and 9 of its 10 peer Funds, and 6 of its 10 peer Funds, respectively ; the Fund's positioning for economic growth; the Fund's performance in light of the mid-cap strategy adopted at the end of 2010 and its long-term investment approach; and management's explanation of the Fund's focused portfolio strategy and long-term growth potential;
(iii) with respect to the Large Cap Value Fund: the Fund's 1-year performance (which surpassed the average return for its Lipper category and 5 of its 10 peer funds); challenging market conditions given the Fund's emphasis on minimizing volatility; management's explanation of the Fund's conservative approach and value strategy and its expectation for the Fund to grow at a slower rate in rising markets while potentially providing better downside protection in falling markets; and management's recognition of the difference between the Fund's concentrated portfolio focused on leading mega-cap companies within the benchmark S&P 500® Index, and the benchmark's larger number of holdings;
(iv) with respect to the Balanced Fund: the Fund's disappointing shorter and longer-term performance has been impacted by volatile market conditions and the Fund's investment objective and policies; and management's explanation of the Fund's equity approach to seek total return while minimizing risk and its fixed income strategy, in response to the persistently low yields and heightened interest rate volatility of the past few years, to remain concentrated in shorter-term bonds which provided greater principal protection during periods of rising interest rates and market turbulence; and
(v) with respect to the Income and Equity Fund: the Fund's relatively steady performance in light of market conditions and the Fund's investment objective, strategies, and policies; management's explanation of the Fund's more defensive fixed income strategy during the past few years focused on

short-to-intermediate- term investment grade, lower-duration bonds seeking to provide greater principal protection and manage interest rate risk; the Fund's use of high-quality, well-established equities with attractive dividend yields to achieve total return; and the Fund's active strategy which was positioned to preserve valuations as interest rates rise.
The Board concluded that PGIMC's explanations provided a reasonable basis for understanding the performance of each Fund that underperformed in comparison to its peer group and benchmark. The Board recognized the importance and potential value of PGIMC's consistency and discipline with respect to its investment strategies and determined that these factors overall weighed in favor of renewing the relevant Agreement for each Fund given the Board's continued monitoring of each Fund's investment performance and the potential for improvement based in part on improvements in relative performance for certain Funds for certain recent periods.
Costs of Services and Profits Realized by PGIMC. The Board reviewed PGIMC's 2018 financial statements. The Board reviewed the 2018 consolidated statement of operations of PGIMC and its subsidiaries and also considered the costs and profitability of PGIMC and its affiliates from their operations. The Board also reviewed the 2018 consolidated statement of financial condition of PGIMC and its subsidiaries and considered the financial condition of PGIMC and its ability to provide the services specified under the Agreements and expected by the Board. The Board examined the fee information for the Funds as compared to that of comparable funds managed by other advisers, and in light of the investment strategy applied to each Fund.
The comparative fee information provided to the Board indicated that each Fund's advisory fee rate was near or towards the high-end of the range of its comparable funds (with the exception of Mid Cap Value Fund which, along with one of its peers, charged the highest advisory fee), given the level of each Fund's assets and of those charged by funds PGIMC considered peers of the Funds based on factors such as portfolio characteristics, investment style and asset level. The Board noted, however, that gross expenses and/or net expenses for each Fund, even with the application of the expense limitations, as applicable, continued to place it as the most expensive fund in its respective peer group, in some cases by a considerable margin. The Board reviewed a description of the methodology used for selecting the funds in each peer group. The Board considered that during 2018, PGIMC had waived fees for the Income and Equity Fund and Large Cap Value Fund in order to reduce their expenses; and that PGIMC expected to continue to waive fees for the Income and Equity Fund and Large Cap Value Fund in 2019 to the extent expenses exceed the agreed expense limits for those Funds. Another factor was that, over the history of the Funds, PGIMC and its affiliates had waived and/or reimbursed expenses for all the Funds in excess of $5.4 million. The Board recognized the limited financial resources of PGIMC with respect to subsidizing the Funds' expenses and the small asset size of each Fund. The Board noted PGIMC's efforts to increase Fund assets, recognizing that as Fund assets increase, the Funds' expense ratios would decrease as fixed costs are spread over a larger asset base. The Board also considered that affiliates of PGIMC provide distribution, administrative, and transfer agency services for the Funds, and, based on information furnished by PGIMC, the benefits to the Funds of having such services provided by such affiliates and the potential alternatives and related costs. The Board also considered the Funds' sales and redemption data in the first six months of 2019, in light of current market conditions and industry trends. The Board concluded that the Funds' management fees were reasonable in light of the services provided, despite the high level of other expenses.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered the extent to which the Funds' management fees reflect economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds' shareholders. The Board reviewed the Funds' fee

arrangements, which include breakpoints that decrease the fee rate as the Funds' assets increase. The Board considered the fact that current assets were well below the threshold for the initial advisory fee breakpoint for each Fund. The Board noted that the expense ratios for the Funds were impacted by lower asset levels for all of the Funds in 2018 as compared to prior periods. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the Funds' management fee structures have the potential to allow shareholders to benefit from economies of scale if the Funds' assets were to increase. The Board also considered that PGIMC had been waiving fees for the Income and Equity Fund and the Large Cap Value Fund.
Other Benefits to PGIMC. In evaluating the benefits that accrue to PGIMC through its relationship with the Funds, the Board recognized that, in addition to providing advisory services, PGIMC and its affiliates serve the Funds in various capacities, including as transfer agent, administrative services agent and distributor, and receive compensation from the Funds in connection with providing these services. The Board considered that each service provided to the Funds by PGIMC or one of its affiliates is pursuant to a written agreement, which the Board evaluates periodically. The Board also considered the benefits that accrue to PGIMC through its relationship with the Funds in its management of separately managed accounts. The Board concluded that the benefits were consistent with PGIMC's rights and obligations under the Agreements.
After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, concluded that approval of the Agreements was in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders.
