2014 Review
Investors were faced with several data series in 2014 that shaped the trajectory of the financial markets, including declining bond yields, declining crude oil prices, and global economic growth rates. The year started with weakness domestically due to the unusually cold weather across the United States. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United States contracted approximately 2.1% in the first quarter of 2014, the first quarterly contraction in three years. As weather and business activity improved in the second quarter of 2014, economic growth rebounded with real GDP expanding approximately 4.6%, followed by approximately 5.0% and 2.6% growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively.
Bond yields fell both in the United States and abroad throughout 2014, finishing the year near annual lows in most cases. The operative phrase from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has shifted from interest rates staying low for a “considerable time” to the path of interest rates being “data dependent,” which appears to provide the Federal Reserve with necessary room to maneuver while

reassuring the marketplace that it will not act prematurely. We believe the phase-out of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve in October 2014 went much more smoothly than many anticipated, as suggested by the activity in interest rates during the year.
We believe easily the biggest story in the financial markets during the year was the steep decline in crude oil prices. The approximate 46% decline in the price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude oil from $98.42 a barrel at the beginning of the year to $53.27 a barrel at year-end negatively affected the equity values of energy service and production companies. The volatility in crude oil prices is reminiscent of 2008 when oil began the year trading for $96.00 a barrel, briefly reaching $146.30 a barrel, before finishing the year at $44.60 a barrel. The abrupt decline in oil prices in 2008 proved transitory as oil prices recovered to $80.00 a barrel the following year. That collapse appeared to be driven in large part by a demand shock as the market grappled with the ensuing global economic slowdown in 2009. In contrast, we believe the current decline in oil prices is mainly a result of excess global supply, predominantly driven by the success of domestic shale oil production, although slowing economic growth in China and Europe appear to be contributing factors as well. However, we believe the decision by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) on Thanksgiving Day not to curtail production sent oil tumbling $7.54 a barrel the following day with a clear signal that OPEC will not promote a short term solution for propping up crude oil prices.
2015 Outlook
We believe much of the current economic environment is akin to the second half of the 1990s. At that time, as today, the U.S. economy was growing faster than its global counterparts, resulting in divergent central bank monetary policy in which the United States was tightening monetary policy while other Group of Five economies, such as Germany and Japan, were either sustaining or tightening monetary policy. As a result, the dollar appreciated in the late 1990s and contributed in part to the decline in crude oil prices in 1997-1998. In addition, Japan entered a deflationary spiral in the late 1990s from which it is still attempting to escape, as deflationary forces in Japan resulted in excess Japanese savings spilling into the global financial system, dragging down bond yields in other developed economies, including the United States where yields on the 10-Year Treasury Bond fell from 7.85% in early 1995 to a low of 4.28% in 1998. At that time, the Federal Reserve had to reverse course and become more dovish in response to financial contagion in the rest of the world, which began with the Asian currency crisis in July 1997, despite strong United States economic output. Today we believe we have a similar situation with the collapse in commodity prices exerting pressure on emerging market economies, which in our view are attempting to unwind excesses created from a cyclical boom in commodity prices. In addition to emerging market economies risk, we believe there are deflationary fears in Europe, the result of which could well be a continued flight to quality in U.S. bonds and further flattening of the yield curve similar to the late 1990s.
We believe low European bond yields in conjunction with the high likelihood of European Central Bank (ECB) quantitative easing have exerted downward pressure on U.S. Treasury bond yields by creating demand for U.S. debt securities due to their relative attractiveness. The strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro appears to only exacerbate this pressure. If oil stays near current levels, we believe it will keep a lid on headline inflation around the world and further frustrate the ECB and Bank of Japan which are battling deflationary fears. If the Federal Reserve were to tighten monetary policy by raising the federal funds rate, we believe the U.S. dollar would likely rise, reinforcing downward pressure on oil and U.S. Treasury bond yields.
There have been two major rallies in the U.S. dollar since the mid-1970s, both lasting roughly seven years. The dollar appreciated approximately 52% in the early 1980s and approximately 34% in the late 1990s. The U.S. dollar has risen approximately 13% from its lows during 2014, and we believe the divergence in global growth and prospective monetary policy are likely to further boost the value of the U.S. dollar. We believe this will present a risk that the U.S. dollar overshoots and undercuts the profit expectations for U.S.-based multinational companies. We also believe the Eurozone is flirting with deflation and structural challenges in fiscal policy within the European Union also appear to remain unaddressed. These fiscal and monetary challenges further support our view that the U.S. dollar appears to be in a period of cyclical strength relative to other major currencies.
If indeed the recent drop in crude oil prices is more supply-driven than demand-drive, the logical conclusion would seemingly be that the path of future crude oil prices may more closely resemble current levels than a $100 a barrel level. Saudi Arabia has long played the role of the “swing producer” within OPEC to crimp supply and buoy the price of crude oil. Thus, when Saudi Arabia has historically been faced with the choice of defending the price of crude oil or defending its market share, it has historically chosen to defend the price of crude oil and risk forfeiting its market share. Although OPEC retains the right to shift its strategy at any point, we do believe that market clearing forces will eventually work and lower crude oil prices will beget a reduction in unprofitable production and discourage capital investment in energy companies and projects. The dramatic decline in oil prices effectively behaves economically like a “tax cut” for the consumer, and we estimate that each penny decline in gas prices translates into approximately $1 billion of annual incremental spending power for consumers.
We believe many of the drivers of the U.S. equity market returns in 2014 are likely to remain in place for 2015, including higher GDP growth compared to 2014, low inflation, and a stable-to-improving job market. We estimate corporate earnings per share for the S&P 500 Index® were $117 in 2014 and further estimate they may grow 7-8% in 2015. In our view, the four key tenets of earnings multiples – taxes, regulation, interest rates, and inflation – remain favorable. We remain constructive on the U.S. equity markets for 2015, but would not be surprised to see greater market volatility than 2012-2014 as financial markets wrestle with slowing global economic growth, conflicting central bank monetary policy, and volatile commodity prices.

LKCM Equity Fund
The LKCM Equity Fund returned 6.40% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the 13.69% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index. The Fund benefited from stock selection in the Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary sectors, which was more than offset by stock selection in the Industrials, Information Technology and Financial sectors relative to the benchmark. The Fund’s underweight position in the Utilities sector also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance as companies in this sector benefited from investors seeking yield in response to lower bond yields. We remain committed to our investment strategy and stock selection process for the Fund and believe we have the Fund well-positioned for the opportunities and challenges we expect the financial markets will present during the upcoming year.
LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund
The LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund – Institutional Class declined 3.11% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the 4.89% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index. During the year, both stock selection and sector allocation decisions detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark. Positive stock selection in the Energy sector was more than offset by weakness in stock selection in the Technology, Industrials, Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors relative to the benchmark. Sector allocation decisions also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance with the Fund’s underweight position in the Utilities sector and overweight position in the Energy sector accounting for much of the shortfall. Our investment strategy for the Fund focuses on investments in what we view as higher quality companies and it had difficulty overcoming two powerful forces – “reach for yield” and focus on lower quality companies – that we believe continued to drive the markets during the year. We remain committed to our investment strategy and stock selection process for the Fund and believe we have the Fund well-positioned for the opportunities and challenges we expect the financial markets will present during the upcoming year.
LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund
The LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund declined 4.39% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the 7.07% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500® Index. During the year, both stock selection and sector allocation decisions detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark. Positive stock selection in the Energy sector was more than offset by weakness in stock selection in the Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors relative to the benchmark. Sector allocation decisions also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance with the Fund’s underweight position in the Utilities sector and overweight position in the Energy sector accounting for much of the shortfall. Our investment strategy for the Fund focuses on investments in what we view as higher quality companies and it had difficulty overcoming two powerful forces – “reach for yield” and focus on lower quality companies – that we believe continued to drive the markets during the year. We remain committed to our investment strategy and stock selection process for the Fund and believe we have the Fund well-positioned for the opportunities and challenges we expect the financial markets will present during the upcoming year.
LKCM Fixed Income Fund
The LKCM Fixed Income Fund advanced 1.72% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the 3.13% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index. The Fund’s defensive duration posture during the year, which benefited the Fund’s relative performance during the prior two years, was the primary reason for the Fund’s relative underperformance, as interest rates rose in the short-to-intermediate part of the yield curve and declined significantly on the long-end of the yield curve. After steepening dramatically during 2013 as a result of the Federal Reserve’s communiques regarding the winding down of quantitative easing, the yield curve flattened throughout 2014 as quantitative easing was withdrawn and global growth slowed. The Fund’s overweight position in investment grade corporate bonds, and more specifically the BBB-rated sector, benefited the Fund’s relative performance, as BBB-rated corporate bonds generally outperformed the higher-rated sectors, including U.S. bonds. During a year when interest rates declined sharply on longer-dated fixed income securities, the Fund’s 2.9 year duration, versus the 3.8 year duration for the benchmark, while reducing the Fund’s volatility, ultimately detracted from the Fund’s relative performance as longer duration fixed income securities outperformed their shorter duration counterparts.
LKCM Balanced Fund
The LKCM Balanced Fund advanced 5.99% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the 13.69% return for the S&P 500 Index® and the 3.13% return for the Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index. Both the equity as well as the fixed income sectors of the Fund’s portfolio generated positive absolute returns during the year. The equity sector of the Fund’s portfolio was led by stock selection in the Consumer Staples and Consumer Discretionary sectors, while stock selection in the Technology, Financials and Energy sectors detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark. The fixed income sector of the Fund’s portfolio remains focused on short-to-intermediate investment grade corporate bonds in an effort to manage risk during this historically low interest rate

environment. We believe the Fund is well-positioned to meet the challenges and opportunities we expect the financial markets will present during the upcoming year.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments found on pages 15-27 of the report for more information on Fund holdings. Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and are not recommendations to buy or sell any securities.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Small and medium capitalization funds typically carry additional risks, since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure, and, historically, their stocks have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than stocks on average. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in mortgage backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. These risks are discussed in the Funds’ summary and statutory prospectuses.
Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by taking the total earnings divided by the number of shares outstanding.
Duration is a commonly used measure of the potential volatility of the price of a debt security, or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of debt securities, prior to maturity. Securities with a longer duration generally have more volatile prices than securities of comparable quality with a shorter duration.
BBB refers to bond ratings. Bond ratings are grades given to bonds that indicate their credit quality as determined by private independent rating services such as Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch. These firms evaluate a bond issuer’s financial strength, or its ability to pay a bond’s principal and interest in a timely fashion. Ratings are expressed as letters ranging from ‘AAA’, which is the highest grade, to ‘D’, which is the lowest grade.
Stocks and bonds are not guaranteed. Bonds traditionally experience less volatility than stocks but have less growth potential. High yield bonds are subject to certain risks including market, greater price volatility, credit, liquidity, issuer, interest-rate, and inflation. Lower-rated and non-rated securities involve greater risk than higher rated securities. Stocks, investment grade bonds and high yield bonds as well as other asset classes have different risk profiles which should be considered when investing. High yield securities have greater price volatility and credit and liquidity risks (presenting a greater risk of loss to principal and interest) than other higher-rated, investment grade securities.

LKCM Funds Expense Example — December 31, 2014
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (7/1/14-12/31/14).
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the tables below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Funds’ transfer agent. You will be charged a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares of the LKCM Small Cap Equity, Small-Mid Cap Equity, Equity, Balanced and Fixed Income Funds within 30 days of purchase, unless otherwise determined by the Funds in their discretion. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of other investment companies as part of their investment strategies, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the example below. The example below includes management fees, registration fees and other expenses. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactions costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTESTOTHE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies: LKCM Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware business trust on February 10, 1994 and consists of eight diversified series, five of which are presented herein and include the LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Equity Fund, LKCM Balanced Fund and LKCM Fixed Income Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), the assets of which are invested in separate, independently managed portfolios. Investment operations of the Funds began on July 14, 1994 (LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund), January 3, 1996 (LKCM Equity Fund), December 30, 1997 (LKCM Balanced Fund and LKCM Fixed Income Fund), and May 2, 2011 (LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund—Institutional and Adviser Class Shares). The Small Cap Equity Fund and the Equity Fund created a second class of shares, Adviser Class Shares, and renamed the initial class as Institutional Class Shares on May 1, 2003. The Small Cap Equity Adviser Class Shares were initially sold on June 5, 2003 and are subject to expenses pursuant to the Rule 12b-1 plan described in Note B. The Equity Fund and Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund Adviser Class Shares have not yet commenced operations. Each Fund charges a 1% redemption fee for redemptions on Fund shares held for less than 30 days, unless otherwise determined by a Fund in its discretion.
The LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of smaller companies (those with market capitalizations at the time of investment between $600 million and $4.5 billion) which Luther King Capital Management Corporation (the “Adviser”) believes are likely to have above-average growth in revenue and/or earnings and potential for above-average capital appreciation. The LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-mid capitalization companies (those with market capitalizations at the time of investment between $1.25 billion and $10 billion) which the Adviser believes are likely to have above-average growth in revenue and/or earnings and potential for above average capital appreciation. The LKCM Equity Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies which the Adviser believes are likely to have above-average growth in revenue and/or earnings, above-average returns on shareholders’ equity, and/or potential for above-average capital appreciation. The LKCM Balanced Fund seeks to provide investors with current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of equity and fixed income securities and cash equivalent securities with at least 25% of the Fund’s total assets invested in fixed income securities under normal circumstances. The LKCM Fixed Income Fund seeks current income by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets in a portfolio of investment grade corporate and U.S. government fixed income securities.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of the financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Investment Companies.
1. Security Valuation: Securities listed or traded on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Nasdaq National Market securities are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked price. Securities listed on a foreign exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales price available before the time when assets are valued. Debt securities are normally valued at the mean of the bid and ask price and/or by using a combination of broker quotes or matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service. Other assets and securities for which no market or broker quotations or matrix evaluations are readily available (including restricted securities) are valued in good faith at fair value using guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees. The Board has adopted specific guidelines and procedures for valuing portfolio securities and delegated their implementation to the Adviser. The guidelines and procedures authorize the Adviser to make all determinations regarding the fair value of a portfolio security and to report such determinations to the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also use independent pricing services to assist in pricing portfolio securities.
The Trust has adopted 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 and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
36
| | | | |
Level 1 | | – | | Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Trust has access at the date of measurement. |
Level 2 | | – | | Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers. |
Level 3 | | – | | Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Trust’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. As of December 31, 2014, the Funds’ assets carried at fair value were classified as follows:

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements during the reporting period.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The Funds have elected to be treated as “regulated investment companies” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and each Fund intends to distribute all of its investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
3. Distributions to Shareholders: The LKCM Small Cap Equity, LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity and LKCM Equity Funds generally intend to pay dividends and net capital gain distributions, if any, at least on an annual basis. The LKCM Balanced and LKCM Fixed Income Funds generally intend to pay dividends on a quarterly basis and net capital gain distributions, if any, at least on an annual basis.

4. Foreign Securities: Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include devaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government.
5. Expense Allocation: Expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated among the Funds based upon (i) relative average net assets, (ii) a specific identification basis as incurred, or (iii) evenly among the Funds, depending on the nature of the expense. Expenses that are directly attributable to a class of shares, such as Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, are charged to that class. For multi-class Funds, income, unrealized and realized gains/losses are generally allocated between the Fund’s classes in proportion to their respective net assets.
6. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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.
7. Guarantees and Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Funds that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
8. Other: Security and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. All discounts and premiums are amortized on the effective interest method for tax and financial reporting purposes.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, reclassifications were recorded as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

9. Restricted and Illiquid Securities: The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.
B. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements: Luther King Capital Management Corporation (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds under an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Adviser receives a fee, computed daily and payable quarterly, at the annual rates presented below as applied to each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Funds through April 30, 2015 in order to limit each Fund’s operating expenses to the annual cap rates presented below. This expense limitation excludes interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, indirect fees and expenses relating to investments in other investment companies, including money market funds, and extraordinary expenses.

Distribution services are performed pursuant to a distribution contract with Quasar Distributors, LLC, the Trust’s principal underwriter.
The Small Cap Equity Fund, Small-Mid Cap Equity and the Equity Fund have adopted a Rule 12b-1 plan under which the Adviser Class of each Fund may pay up to 1.00% of its average daily net assets for distribution and other services. However, the Board of Trustees has currently only authorized a fee of 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2014, fees incurred by the Small Cap Equity Fund pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan were $66,717. The Adviser Class shares of the Equity Fund and the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund have not yet commenced operations. The Funds have also adopted an Institutional Class Distribution Plan, under which each Fund may pay up to 0.75% of its average daily net assets for distribution and other services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has not authorized payments under this plan and, as a result, the Funds currently neither accrue nor pay any fees under the plan.

The Trust has adopted financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Trust has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Funds’ financial position or results of operations. Tax years that remain open to examination by major tax jurisdictions include tax years ended December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2014. There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns as of December 31, 2014. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. If applicable, the Funds would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “interest expense” and penalties in “other expense” on the statement of operations.
F. Subsequent Events: In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events after December 31, 2014 and determined that there were no significant subsequent events that would require adjustment to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

REPORTOF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of LKCM Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of LKCM Funds (the “Funds”) comprising the LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Equity Fund, LKCM Balanced Fund, LKCM Fixed Income Fund, and LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting the LKCM Funds as of December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-800-423-6369. The Funds impose a 1.00% redemption fee on shares held less than 30 days. If reflected, the fee would reduce performance shown.
* | Luther King Capital Management Corporation, the Funds’ adviser, has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund to maintain designated expense ratios through April 30, 2015. This expense limitation excludes interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, indirect fees and expenses relating to investments in other investment companies, including money market funds, and extraordinary expenses. Investment performance reflects fee waivers, if any, in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. Investment performance is based upon the net expense ratio. |
** | Expense ratios above are as of December 31, 2013, the Funds’ prior fiscal year end, as reported in the Funds’ current prospectus. Expense ratios reported for other periods in the financial highlights of this report for the Funds’ fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 may differ due to the inclusion of acquired fund fees and expenses in the ratios presented above. |
*** | On July 11, 2005, the Aquinas Funds merged into the LKCM Aquinas Funds. Due to the change in adviser and investment technique, performance is being quoted for the period after the merger. |
(1) | The Russell 1000 Value® Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. |
(2) | The Russell 1000 Growth® Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. |
(3) | The Russell 2000® Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 2000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index. |
Note: These indices defined above are not available for direct investment and the index performance therefore does not include expenses.
2014 Review
Investors were faced with several data series in 2014 that shaped the trajectory of the financial markets, including declining bond yields, declining crude oil prices, and global economic growth rates. The year started with weakness domestically due to the unusually cold weather across the United States. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United States contracted approximately 2.1% in the first quarter of 2014, the first quarterly contraction in three years. As weather and business activity improved in the second quarter of 2014, economic growth rebounded with real GDP expanding approximately 4.6%, followed by approximately 5.0% and 2.6% growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively.
Bond yields fell both in the United States and abroad throughout 2014, finishing the year near annual lows in most cases. The operative phrase from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has shifted from interest rates staying low for a “considerable time” to the path of interest rates being “data dependent,” which appears to provide the Federal Reserve with necessary room to maneuver while reassuring the marketplace that it will not act prematurely. We believe the phase-out of quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve in October 2014 went much more smoothly than many anticipated, as suggested by the activity in interest rates during the year.
We believe easily the biggest story in the financial markets during the year was the steep decline in crude oil prices. The approximate 46% decline in the price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate crude oil from $98.42 a barrel at the beginning of the year to $53.27 a barrel at year-end negatively affected the equity values of energy service and production companies. The volatility in crude oil prices is reminiscent of 2008 when oil began the year trading for $96.00 a barrel, briefly reaching $146.30 a barrel, before finishing the year at $44.60 a barrel. The abrupt decline in oil prices in 2008 proved transitory as oil prices recovered to $80.00 a barrel the following year. That collapse appeared to be driven in large part by a demand shock as the market grappled with the ensuing global economic slowdown in 2009. In contrast, we believe the current decline in oil prices is mainly a result of excess global supply, predominantly driven by the success of domestic shale oil production, although slowing economic growth in China and Europe appear to be contributing factors as well. However, we believe the decision by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) on Thanksgiving Day not to curtail production sent oil tumbling $7.54 a barrel the following day with a clear signal that OPEC will not promote a short term solution for propping up crude oil prices.

2015 Outlook
We believe much of the current economic environment is akin to the second half of the 1990s. At that time, as today, the U.S. economy was growing faster than its global counterparts, resulting in divergent central bank monetary policy in which the United States was tightening monetary policy while other Group of Five economies, such as Germany and Japan, were either sustaining or tightening monetary policy. As a result, the dollar appreciated in the late 1990s and contributed in part to the decline in crude oil prices in 1997-1998. In addition, Japan entered a deflationary spiral in the late 1990s from which it is still attempting to escape, as deflationary forces in Japan resulted in excess Japanese savings spilling into the global financial system, dragging down bond yields in other developed economies, including the United States where yields on the 10-Year Treasury Bond fell from 7.85% in early 1995 to a low of 4.28% in 1998. At that time, the Federal Reserve had to reverse course and become more dovish in response to financial contagion in the rest of the world, which began with the Asian currency crisis in July 1997, despite strong United States economic output. Today we believe we have a similar situation with the collapse in commodity prices exerting pressure on emerging market economies, which in our view are attempting to unwind excesses created from a cyclical boom in commodity prices. In addition to emerging market economies risk, we believe there are deflationary fears in Europe, the result of which could well be a continued flight to quality in U.S. bonds and further flattening of the yield curve similar to the late 1990s.
We believe low European bond yields in conjunction with the high likelihood of European Central Bank (ECB) quantitative easing have exerted downward pressure on U.S. Treasury bond yields by creating demand for U.S. debt securities due to their relative attractiveness. The strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the Euro appears to only exacerbate this pressure. If oil stays near current levels, we believe it will keep a lid on headline inflation around the world and further frustrate the ECB and Bank of Japan which are battling deflationary fears. If the Federal Reserve were to tighten monetary policy by raising the federal funds rate, we believe the U.S. dollar would likely rise, reinforcing downward pressure on oil and U.S. Treasury bond yields.
There have been two major rallies in the U.S. dollar since the mid-1970s, both lasting roughly seven years. The dollar appreciated approximately 52% in the early 1980s and approximately 34% in the late 1990s. The U.S. dollar has risen approximately 13% from its lows during 2014, and we believe the divergence in global growth and prospective monetary policy are likely to further boost the value of the U.S. dollar. We believe this will present a risk that the U.S. dollar overshoots and undercuts the profit expectations for U.S.-based multinational companies. We also believe the Eurozone is flirting with deflation and structural challenges in fiscal policy within the European Union also appear to remain unaddressed. These fiscal and monetary challenges further support our view that the U.S. dollar appears to be in a period of cyclical strength relative to other major currencies.
If indeed the recent drop in crude oil prices is more supply-driven than demand-drive, the logical conclusion would seemingly be that the path of future crude oil prices may more closely resemble current levels than a $100 a barrel level. Saudi Arabia has long played the role of the “swing producer” within OPEC to crimp supply and buoy the price of crude oil. Thus, when Saudi Arabia has historically been faced with the choice of defending the price of crude oil or defending its market share, it has historically chosen to defend the price of crude oil and risk forfeiting its market share. Although OPEC retains the right to shift its strategy at any point, we do believe that market clearing forces will eventually work and lower crude oil prices will beget a reduction in unprofitable production and discourage capital investment in energy companies and projects. The dramatic decline in oil prices effectively behaves economically like a “tax cut” for the consumer, and we estimate that each penny decline in gas prices translates into approximately $1 billion of annual incremental spending power for consumers.
We believe many of the drivers of the U.S. equity market returns in 2014 are likely to remain in place for 2015, including higher GDP growth compared to 2014, low inflation, and a stable-to-improving job market. We estimate corporate earnings per share for the S&P 500 Index® were $117 in 2014 and further estimate they may grow 7-8% in 2015. In our view, the four key tenets of earnings multiples—taxes, regulation, interest rates, and inflation—remain favorable. We remain constructive on the U.S. equity markets for 2015, but would not be surprised to see greater market volatility than 2012-2014 as financial markets wrestle with slowing global economic growth, conflicting central bank monetary policy, and volatile commodity prices.
LKCM Aquinas Value Fund
The LKCM Aquinas Value Fund returned 2.73% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the 13.45% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value® Index. During the year, both stock selection and sector allocation decisions detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark. The Fund’s overweight position in the Technology sector benefited the Fund’s relative performance, but was more than offset by the Fund’s underweight positions in the Utilities and Healthcare sectors and overweight position in the Materials sector. The Fund’s underweight position in the Healthcare sector was primarily the result of the Fund’s Catholic-values investing mandate, which limits the Fund’s ability to invest in a number of companies in this sector. Stock selection in the Healthcare and Consumer Staples sectors benefited the Fund’s relative performance, but was more than offset by stock selection in the Technology, Financials and Energy sectors. We remain confident the Fund is well-positioned with a strong emphasis on companies that we view has high quality with reasonable valuations relative to their earnings growth rate, which we believe can provide an opportunity to add value for the Fund and its shareholders in the upcoming year. We continue to emphasize holdings in which we expect meaningful dividend increases or share buybacks during 2015.

LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund
The LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund declined 4.54% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the 4.89% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index. During the year, both stock selection and sector allocation decisions detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark. Positive stock selection in the Energy sector was more than offset by weakness in stock selection in the Technology, Industrials, Financials and Consumer Discretionary sectors relative to the benchmark. Sector allocation decisions also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance with the Fund’s underweight position in the Utilities sector and overweight position in the Energy sector accounting for much of the shortfall. Our investment strategy for the Fund focuses on investments in what we view as higher quality companies and it had difficulty overcoming two powerful forces—“reach for yield” and focus on lower quality companies—that we believe continued to drive the markets during the year. We remain committed to our investment strategy and stock selection process for the Fund and believe we have the Fund well-positioned for the opportunities and challenges we expect the financial markets will present during the upcoming year.
LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund
The LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund advanced 1.25% for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the 13.05% return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth® Index. During the year, both stock selection and sector allocation decisions detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark. The Fund’s underweight position in the Materials sector benefited the Fund’s relative performance, but was offset by the Fund’s underweight position in the Healthcare sector and overweight position in the Energy sector. The Fund’s underweight position in the Healthcare sector was primarily the result of the Fund’s Catholic-values investing mandate, which limits the Fund’s ability to invest in a number of companies in this sector. Stock selection in the Energy, Financials, Technology and Industrials sectors also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. We remain committed to our investment strategy and stock selection process for the Fund and believe we have the Fund well-positioned for the opportunities and challenges we expect the financial markets will present during the upcoming year.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments found on pages 10-15 of the report for more information on Fund holdings. Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and are not recommendations to buy or sell any securities.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Small and medium capitalization funds typically carry additional risks, since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure, and, historically, their stocks have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than stocks on average. These risks are discussed in the Funds’ summary and statutory prospectuses. Since the Funds practice socially responsible investing within the framework provided by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop’s socially responsible investment guidelines, the Funds may forego a profitable investment opportunity or sell a security when it may be disadvantageous to do so.
The Standard & Poor’s 500® Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 selected stocks that is generally representative of the performance of large capitalization companies in the U.S. stock market. One cannot invest directly in an index.
Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by taking the total earnings divided by the number of shares outstanding.
Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer term debt securities. Stocks and bonds are not guaranteed. Bonds traditionally experience less volatility than stocks but have less growth potential. High yield bonds are subject to certain risks including market, greater price volatility, credit, liquidity, issuer, interest-rate, and inflation. Lower-rated and non-rated securities involve greater risk than higher rated securities. Stocks, investment grade bonds and high yield bonds as well as other asset classes have different risk profiles which should be considered when investing. High yield securities have greater price volatility and credit and liquidity risks (presenting a greater risk of loss to principal and interest) than other higher-rated, investment grade securities.

LKCM Aquinas Funds Expense Example — December 31, 2014
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (7/1/14 - 12/31/14).
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the tables below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15 fee is charged by the Funds’ transfer agent. You will be charged a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares of the LKCM Aquinas Value, Aquinas Growth and Aquinas Small Cap Funds within 30 days of purchase, unless otherwise determined by the Funds in their discretion. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of other investment companies as part of their investment strategies, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the example below. The example below includes management fees, registration fees and other expenses. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLES FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactions costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTESTOTHE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
A. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies: LKCM Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware business trust on February 10, 1994 and consists of eight diversified series of shares, three of which are the LKCM Aquinas Value, LKCM Aquinas Growth and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Funds (collectively, the “Funds”) and are reported here. On July 11, 2005, the Funds acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Aquinas Funds. The LKCM Aquinas Value, LKCM Aquinas Growth and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Funds are subject to expenses pursuant to the Rule 12b-1 plan described in Note B. Each Fund charges a 1% redemption fee for redemptions on Fund shares held for less than 30 days, unless otherwise determined by the Funds in their discretion.
The LKCM Aquinas Value Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation, while incorporating Catholic values investing principles in the investment process. The LKCM Aquinas Value Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in equity securities of companies that Luther King Capital Management Corporation (the “Adviser”) believes to be undervalued relative to a company’s earnings. The LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation, while incorporating Catholic values investing principles in the investment process. The LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in equity securities of companies that the Adviser believes generally have above-average growth in revenue and/or earnings, above-average returns on shareholders’ equity, and/or potential for above-average capital appreciation. The LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation, while incorporating Catholic values investing principles in the investment process. The LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of smaller companies (those with market capitalizations at the time of investment between $600 million and $4.5 billion) that the Adviser believes are likely to have above-average growth in revenue and/or earnings and potential for above-average capital appreciation.
The LKCM Aquinas Funds practice socially responsible investing within the framework provided by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Socially Responsible Investing Guidelines (the “Guidelines”). Each Fund’s investment approach incorporates the Guidelines through a combination of screening portfolio companies based on criteria set forth in the Guidelines, dialogue with companies whose policies and practices may conflict with the Guidelines, and/or potentially excluding from each Fund’s portfolio the securities of those companies that are unwilling to alter their policies and practices over a reasonable period of time. The Adviser monitors companies selected for the Funds for policies on various issues contemplated by the Guidelines. If a Fund invests in a company whose policies and practices are inconsistent with the Guidelines, the Adviser may attempt to influence the company, sell the company’s securities or otherwise exclude future investments in such company.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of the financial statements. The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Investment Companies.
1. Security Valuation: Securities listed or traded on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price, taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Nasdaq National Market securities are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and asked price. Securities listed on a foreign exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales price available before the time when assets are valued. Debt securities are normally valued at the mean of bid and ask price and/or by using a combination of broker quotes or matrix evaluations provided by an independent pricing service. Other assets and securities for which no market or broker quotations or matrix evaluations are readily available (including restricted securities) are valued in good faith at fair value using guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees. The Board has adopted specific guidelines and procedures for valuing portfolio securities and delegated their implementation to the Adviser. The guidelines and procedures authorize the Adviser to make all determinations regarding the fair value of a portfolio security and to report such determinations to the Board of Trustees. The Funds may also use independent pricing services to assist in pricing portfolio securities.
The Trust has adopted 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 and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
21
| | | | |
Level 1 | | – | | Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Trust has access at the date of measurement. |
Level 2 | | – | | Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or instances where prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers. |
Level 3 | | – | | Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Trust’s own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information. |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. As of December 31, 2014, the Funds’ assets carried at fair value were classified as follows:

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements during the reporting period.
2. Federal Income Taxes: The Funds have elected to be treated as “regulated investment companies” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and each Fund intends to distribute all of its investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
3. Distributions to Shareholders: The LKCM Aquinas Value, LKCM Aquinas Growth and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Funds generally intend to pay dividends and net capital gain distributions, if any, at least on an annual basis.
4. Foreign Securities: Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government. These risks include devaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and securities of the U.S. government.
5. Expense Allocation: Expenses incurred by the Funds are allocated among the Funds based upon (i) relative average net assets, (ii) a specific identification basis as incurred, or (iii) evenly among the Funds, depending on the nature of the expense.
6. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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.
7. Guarantees and Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Funds that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
22
8. Other: Security and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income and dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. All discounts and premiums are amortized based on the effective interest method for tax and financial reporting purposes.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.
Accordingly, at December 31, 2014, reclassifications were recorded as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | LKCM Aquinas Value Fund | | | LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund | | | LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund | |
Accumulated net investment income | | | $— | | | | $154,305 | | | | $104,580 | |
Paid in capital | | | — | | | | (154,305 | ) | | | (104,580 | ) |
9. Restricted and Illiquid Securities: The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or are illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at the current valuation may be difficult.
B. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements: Luther King Capital Management Corporation (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds under an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Adviser receives a fee, computed daily and payable quarterly, at the annual rates presented below as applied to each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Funds through April 30, 2015 in order to limit each Fund’s operating expenses to the annual cap rates identified below. This expense limitation excludes interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, indirect fees and expenses relating to investments in other investment companies, including money market funds, and extraordinary expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Adviser waived the following management fees to meet its expense cap obligations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | LKCM Aquinas Value Fund | | | LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund | | | LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund | |
Annual Advisory Rate | | | 0.90% | | | | 0.90% | | | | 1.00% | |
Annual Cap on Expenses | | | 1.50% | | | | 1.50% | | | | 1.50% | |
Fees Waived in 2014 | | | $— | | | | $35,664 | | | | $102,159 | |
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as transfer agent and administrator for the Trust and serves as accounting services agent for the Funds. U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as custodian for the Funds.
Distribution services are performed pursuant to a distribution contract with Quasar Distributors, LLC, the Trust’s principal underwriter.
The LKCM Funds have adopted a Rule 12b-1 plan for the LKCM Aquinas Value, LKCM Aquinas Growth and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Funds, under which each Fund may pay up to 1.00% of its average daily net assets for distribution and other services. However, the Board of Trustees has currently only authorized a fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets for the LKCM Aquinas Value, LKCM Aquinas Growth and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Funds. For the year ended December 31, 2014, fees incurred by the LKCM Aquinas Value, LKCM Aquinas Growth and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Funds pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan were $147,341, $93,329, and $33,158, respectively.
C. Fund Shares: At December 31, 2014, there was an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, no par value, authorized. The following table summarizes the activity in shares of each Fund:

The tax components of dividends paid during the periods shown below were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended December 31, 2014 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2013 | |
| | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | |
LKCM Aquinas Value Fund | | $ | 550,565 | | | $ | 4,145,607 | | | $ | 507,623 | | | $ | 2,482,399 | |

LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund | | | — | | | | 1,153,966 | | | | — | | | | 498,077 | |

The Trust has adopted financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Trust has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Funds’ financial position or results of operations. Tax years that remain open to examination by major tax jurisdictions include tax years ended December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2014. There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on tax returns as of December 31, 2014. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. If applicable, the Funds would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “interest expense” and penalties in “other expense” on the statement of operations.
F. Subsequent Events: In preparing these financial statements, the Trust has evaluated events after December 31, 2014 and determined that there were no significant subsequent events that would require adjustment to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

REPORTOF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of LKCM Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of LKCM Aquinas Funds (the “Funds”) comprising the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund, LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund, and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund as of December 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting the LKCM Aquinas Funds as of December 31, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Richard J. Howell is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
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 years. “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 those fiscal years. “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. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

Audit Fees | | $ | 147,000 | | | $ | 135,800 | |

Tax Fees | | $ | 30,625 | | | $ | 29,725 | |
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 Deloitte & Touche LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

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 billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (including any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of trustees 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.
