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 Funds may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-800-688-LKCM. 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’ investment adviser, has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses of each Fund to maintain designated expense ratios through April 30, 2017. This expense limitation excludes interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, indirect fees and expenses related to investments in other investment companies, including money market funds, and extraordinary expenses. Investment performance reflects fee waivers, if any, in effect during the relevant period. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. Investment performance is based upon the net expense ratio. LKCM waived management fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2016. |
** | Expense ratios above are as of December 31, 2015, 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’ six months ended June 30, 2016 may differ due to the inclusion of acquired fund fees and expenses. |

1H2016 Review and Outlook
Domestically, economic data, including real personal income, initial jobless claims, and housing prices, improved during the first half of 2016. Business investment remained somewhat muted during the first half of 2016 as a result of lower levels of investment in the oil and gas industry and the continued impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. We believe that capital investment is likely to rise as these twin headwinds abate. While corporate profit growth generally has been challenging, we anticipate that year-over-year growth in corporate profits will resume in the second half of 2016.
2
With nearly all negative-yield debt concentrated in the Eurozone and Japan, we believe there should be little surprise there has been record demand at U.S. government debt auctions this year. In May, demand for two-, five-, and seven-year U.S. Treasury notes soared to all-time highs. Relative to equities, we believe U.S. Treasury bonds are overvalued. The yield on the ten-year Treasury note closed the second quarter of 2016 at 1.47%, the lowest level since August 2012. Put into context, the dividend yield on the S&P 500® Index was 2.18% at the close of the second quarter of 2016. We believe U.S. Treasury notes have only been more expensive during two other time periods – 2008 and 2012. Following each of these years, U.S. Treasuries went on to post their worst annual returns on record, losing approximately 3.7% in 2009 and 3.4% in 2013.
In our view, the corrosive effect of negative interest rates will become more apparent over time. Negative interest rates generally hurt savers while at the same time compelling them to set aside even greater sums. We believe this will have negative repercussions for economic growth over time, contrary to the stated intent of the exercise. Even low interest rates domestically are unsettling in our view. The yield curve, which represents the anticipated rate of interest for successive years, is traditionally upward-sloping. This is because the interest rate on the ten-year U.S. Treasury note should be the same, in theory, as the rate of a one-year U.S. Treasury note rolled ten times plus a slight premium for the uncertainty of owning a longer-dated asset and its potential erosion in value due to inflation. Therefore, we believe that what longer-term domestic interest rates are implying is that not only is economic growth tepid now, but domestic economic growth is expected to be lackluster for the next ten years. However, we do not believe that interest rates are a definitive indicator of future domestic economic growth due to various factors.
While future economic growth expectations are imbedded in the level of U.S. Treasury rates, we believe there are additional forces pulling interest rates lower. For example, negative interest rates in parts of Europe and Japan appear to be exerting a gravitational pull on U.S. interest rates. While an interest rate of around 1.50% for a ten-year maturity U.S. Treasury note is not exciting in our view from a historical context, we think it is downright exhilarating compared to the negative interest rates of approximately -0.13% in Germany, -0.22% in Japan, and -0.58% in Switzerland. We believe these forces have resulted in record demand for U.S. Treasuries at recent auctions.
We expect the year-over-year change in corporate profits for the S&P 500® Index will be negative for the second quarter of 2016, which would mark the fifth consecutive quarter of negative growth. The level of the S&P 500® Index has essentially moved sideways since the beginning of 2015 with episodic drawdowns primarily related to economic growth concerns. Over the past eighteen months, corporate profits appear to have been hindered by negative earnings in the energy sector as well as the negative impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. We believe both of these headwinds are fading and will eventually result in the resumption of corporate earnings growth as we enter 2017. We believe this has the potential to boost equity markets in the second half of 2016 as investors focus on future earnings expectations, particularly once we get beyond the fall elections.
LKCM Equity Fund
The LKCM Equity Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, returning 5.14% compared to the 3.84% return for the benchmark. Stock selection in the Industrials and Healthcare sectors contributed the most to the Fund’s relative performance, while stock selection in the Financials sector detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund also benefited from underweight positions in the Information Technology and Financials sectors and an overweight position in the Industrials sector, while underweight positions in the Utilities and Telecommunications sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. We remain confident that our emphasis on high quality companies that meet our stringent investment criteria will continue to provide strong performance results for the Fund and its shareholders.
LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund
The LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund’s Institutional Class Shares advanced 0.45% during the first half of 2016 as compared to the 2.22% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index. During the first half of 2016, stock selection in the Healthcare, Consumer Staples and Energy sectors were strong and benefited the Fund’s relative performance, while stock selection in the Financials sector, which suffered from an unexpected decline in interest rates during the first half of 2016, and the Materials sector detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s underweight position in the Utilities sector, where the Fund has no holdings, as well as the Fund’s tilt toward growth stocks, also contributed to the Fund’s relative underperformance. We remain committed to our emphasis on high quality companies that meet our stringent investment criteria and believe this continues to be prudent during this period of higher market volatility.
LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund
The LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund declined 2.78% during the first half of 2016 as compared to the 3.98% advance for the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2500® Index. During the first half of 2016, stock selection in the Healthcare, Consumer Discretionary and Industrials sectors benefited the Fund’s relative performance, which was offset by stock selection in the Financials sector, which suffered from an unexpected decline in interest rates during the first half of 2016, and the Information Technology sector. The Fund’s underweight position in the Utilities sector, where the Fund has no holdings, as well as the Fund’s tilt toward growth stocks also contributed to the Fund’s relative underperformance. We remain committed to our emphasis on high quality companies that meet our stringent investment criteria and believe this continues to be prudent during this period of higher market volatility.

LKCM Balanced Fund
The LKCM Balanced Fund advanced 3.93% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 against the 3.84% return for the S&P 500® Index and the 4.07% return for the Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index. Both the equity and fixed income sectors of the Fund’s portfolio generated positive returns during the period. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Industrials and Materials sectors benefited the Fund’s relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight position in the Utilities sector, where the Fund has no stock holdings, detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. The fixed income portion of the Fund’s portfolio remained focused on high quality, short-to-intermediate corporate bonds, which we believe serves the dual objectives of generating income while helping moderate the volatility of the Fund’s portfolio. As of June 30, 2016, the Fund’s asset mix consisted of approximately 66.0% in equity securities, 27.3% in fixed income securities, and 6.7% in cash and cash equivalents.
LKCM Fixed Income Fund
The LKCM Fixed Income Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index, during the first six months of 2016, advancing 4.38% versus 4.07% for the benchmark. During this period, interest rates declined and the yield curve flattened dramatically with rates on longer-dated issues declining the most. This flattening trend was a reversal of the steepening experienced in the first half of 2015 and led to longer-duration issues outperforming their shorter-duration counterparts. In this environment, the Fund’s defensive 3.2 year average duration posture detracted from the Fund’s performance relative to the 4.1 year average duration for the benchmark. Credit spreads that had widened substantially during the first quarter of 2016 ended the first half of 2016 at levels tighter than where they began the year, with the Materials, Energy and Industrials sectors tightening the most. Within this backdrop, the Fund’s overweight position in corporate bonds, and more specifically BBB-rated issues, relative to the benchmark, was additive to performance during the first half of 2016 as credit spreads tightened, resulting in corporate bonds outperforming government issues. The Fund remains largely focused on short-to-intermediate investment grade corporate bonds in an effort to limit the price volatility inherent in longer-duration issues while picking up additional yield provided in the corporate sector.

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments found on pages 9-21 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 growth is not a measure of future performance.
Stocks are generally perceived to have more financial risk than bonds in that bond holders have a claim on firm operations or assets that is senior to that of equity holders. In addition, stock prices are generally more volatile than bond prices. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. A stock may trade with more or less liquidity than a bond depending on the number of shares and bonds outstanding, the size of the company, and the demand for the securities. Similarly, the transaction costs involved in trading a stock may be more or less than a particular bond depending on the factors mentioned above and whether the stock or bond trades upon an exchange. Depending on the entity issuing the bond, it may or may or may not afford additional protections to the investor, such as a guarantee of return of principal by a government or bond insurance company. There is typically no guarantee of any kind associated with the purchase of an individual stock. Bonds are often owned by individuals interested in current income while stocks are generally owned by individuals seeking price appreciation with income a secondary concern. The tax treatment of returns of bonds and stocks also differs given differential tax treatment of income versus capital gain.
Dividend Yield is a dividend expressed as a percentage of a current share price.

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.
Spread is the percentage point difference between yields of various classes of bonds compared to treasury bonds.
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.
Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.

LKCM Funds Expense Example — June 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
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 (1/1/16-6/30/16).
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the tables 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 Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. 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.
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.

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 (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) 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 (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) 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, potential for above-average capital appreciation and/or companies that the Adviser believes have attractive relative valuations. 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 (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) 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: Equity 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 on the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Nasdaq Global Market securities are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on a particular valuation date are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and ask price on the relevant exchanges or markets. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales price on the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Debt securities are normally valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask price and/or by using a combination of broker quotations or evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing service. Other assets and securities for which no market or broker quotations or evaluated prices 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 determinations regarding the fair value of a portfolio security and to report such determinations to the Board of Trustees. The Funds may use prices provided by independent pricing services to assist in the fair valuation of the Funds’ 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.
33
| | | | |
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 June 30, 2016, 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. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of 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 Fund, LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund and LKCM Equity Fund generally intend to pay dividends and distribute net capital, if any, at least on an annual basis. The LKCM Balanced Fund and LKCM Fixed Income Fund generally intend to pay dividends on a quarterly basis and distribute net capital, if any, at least on an annual basis.
34
4. Foreign Securities: Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. 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. Security Transactions and Investment Income: 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. 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. The Funds may hold the securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Distributions from such investments may include income, capital gains and return of capital.
9. Other: 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.
10. Restricted and Illiquid Securities: The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale including investments considered by the Funds to be illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. Illiquid investments are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. 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: 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 expenses of the Funds through April 30, 2017 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. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Adviser waived the following management fees to meet its expense cap obligations:

Fees Waived in 2016 | | | $85,977 | | | | $67,004 | | | | $220,928 | | | | $48,495 | | | | $257,759 | |
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as transfer agent and administrator for the Trust and serves as accounting services agent for the Trust. 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 Small Cap Equity Fund, Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund and 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 six months ended June 30, 2016, fees incurred by the Small Cap Equity Fund pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan were $6,638. 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
35
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.
C. Fund Shares: At June 30, 2016, 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 difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

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, 2012 through December 31, 2015. 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, 2015. 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: Effective July 29, 2016, the Trust consisted of six diversified series: LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Equity Fund, LKCM Balanced Fund, LKCM Fixed Income Fund, and LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund. On July 29, 2016, the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund and the LKCM Aquinas Growth reorganized into the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund, following which the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund changed its name to the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund and its investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, changed to the investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, of the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund.

RENEWALOF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
WITH RESPECTTO LKCM FUNDS
Introduction. At a meeting held on February 23, 2016, the Board of Trustees of LKCM Funds, including the independent Trustees (the “Board”), approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Luther King Capital Management Corporation (“LKCM”) and LKCM Funds (the “Trust”), on behalf of the LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Equity Fund, LKCM Balanced Fund, and LKCM Fixed Income Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).
In voting to approve the renewal of the Agreement, the Board considered information furnished throughout the year at regularly scheduled Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual renewal process. The Board also considered the overall fairness of the Agreement and factors it deemed relevant with respect to each Fund including, but not limited to: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund; (2) the performance of each Fund as compared to a relevant benchmark and peer group of funds; (3) the level of the fees and the overall expenses of each Fund and how those compared to a peer group of funds and other institutional portfolios; (4) the costs of services provided to the Funds and the profitability of LKCM; (5) whether the fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of investors; and (6) any other benefits derived by LKCM from its relationship with the Funds. The Board did not identify any single factor or item of information as all-important or controlling and each Board member may have accorded different weights to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Agreement.
In considering the approval of the Agreement, the Board requested and considered a broad range of information provided by LKCM, including, but not limited to, reports relating to each Fund’s performance and expenses, information regarding other clients, certain portfolio compliance policies and the background and experience of the portfolio managers. In addition, the Board considered a memorandum from its legal counsel regarding the Board’s legal duties in considering the renewal of the Agreement. The Board also meets each quarter to review various aspects of the Funds.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed and considered the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by LKCM to each Fund under the Agreement. The Board considered that LKCM has provided investment management services to individuals, foundations, estates, employee benefit plans, endowments, corporations and other clients since 1979. The Board recognized that LKCM is responsible for managing the Funds and monitoring their performance. The Board considered LKCM’s financial resources, insurance coverage, culture of compliance and compliance operations that support the Funds. The Board also considered LKCM’s representation that it has invested considerable resources into the firm and its personnel to augment investment management and client service. The Board reviewed the portfolio managers and other key personnel who provide services to each Fund, and considered LKCM’s representation that the firm historically has experienced very low personnel turnover. The Board also considered LKCM’s representation that the firm has implemented a compensation structure designed to attract and retain highly qualified investment professionals.
The Board also reviewed the compliance services provided to the Funds by LKCM, including LKCM’s oversight of the Funds’ day-to-day operations. The Trustees focused on the quality of LKCM’s compliance and support staff. In addition, the Board considered LKCM’s summary of its procedures for monitoring the Funds’ key service providers. The Board also considered LKCM’s description of its best execution practices, and noted LKCM’s representation that its soft-dollar and commission sharing arrangements for client transactions (including those for the Funds) comply with the safe harbor provided by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Performance of the LKCM Funds. The Board considered the performance of each Fund compared to the Fund’s benchmark index (“Benchmark”) and peer group funds compiled by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper Index”) for various time periods ended December 31, 2015. The Board also considered LKCM’s discussion of each Fund’s performance. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviews, at its regularly scheduled meetings, information regarding each Fund’s performance. The Board also noted LKCM’s representation that its investment strategy for the Funds focuses on investments in higher quality companies that meet LKCM’s stringent investment criteria, which had encountered difficulty in overcoming the general market’s “reach for yield” and focus on lower quality companies that have driven performance in recent years, but that LKCM believes the Funds are well positioned for the future.
The Board considered the performance of the Institutional Class of the Small Cap Equity Fund because the Institutional Class has been in existence for the longest period of time and has the longest performance history. The Board noted that the Institutional Class of the Small Cap Equity Fund outperformed its Benchmark and Lipper Index for the since-inception period, but underperformed its Benchmark and Lipper Index for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods.
The Board noted that the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund outperformed its Benchmark and Lipper Index for the one-year period, but underperformed its Benchmark and Lipper Index for the three-year and since-inception periods.
The Board noted that the Equity Fund outperformed its Benchmark for the ten-year period, but underperformed its Benchmark for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods. The Board also noted that the Equity Fund outperformed its Lipper Index for the ten-year and since-inception periods, but underperformed its Lipper Index for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods.
The Board noted that the Balanced Fund had outperformed the Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index for the three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods, but underperformed the Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index for the
40
one-year period. The Board also noted that the Balanced Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods. The Board also compared the Balanced Fund’s performance to a blended index that reflected the Fund’s historical allocation to equity and fixed income securities (“Blended Index”). The Board noted that the Balanced Fund outperformed the Blended Index for the ten-year period, but underperformed the Blended Index for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods. The Board also noted that the Balanced Fund outperformed the Lipper Index for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods.
The Board noted that the Fixed Income Fund underperformed its Benchmark for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods. The Board also noted that the Fixed Income Fund outperformed its Lipper Index for the ten-year and since-inception periods, performed in line with its Lipper Index for the five-year period, and underperformed its Lipper Index for the one-year and three-year periods.
Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the advisory fee rates paid each Fund and each Fund’s net expense ratio (after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) relative to similar funds and LKCM’s other clients. The Board also considered that LKCM had contractually agreed to continue the current fee waivers and expense caps in effect for each Fund through April 30, 2017. The Board compared the contractual advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio of each Fund to a category of similar funds compiled by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper Category”). The first quartile in a Lipper Category represents those funds with the lowest fees or expenses. The Board considered that, although the Funds’ contractual advisory fee rates may be higher than those of their peers, the expense cap arrangements generally cause the Funds’ overall net expense ratios to be lower than, or in line with, those of their peers.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio for the Institutional Class of the Small Cap Equity Fund each were in the second quartile of its Lipper Category, respectively. In this case, the Small Cap Equity Fund’s advisory fee rate was slightly higher and its net expense ratio was lower than the average of its Lipper Category.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio for the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund were in the second quartile of its Lipper Category. In this case, the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund’s advisory fee rate and its net expense ratio were lower than the average of its Lipper Category.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio for the Equity Fund were in the third and first quartile of its Lipper Category, respectively. In this case, the Equity Fund’s advisory fee rate was higher than the average of its Lipper Category, and the net expense ratio was lower than the average of its Lipper Category.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio for the Balanced Fund were in the third and second quartile of its Lipper Category, respectively. In this case, the Balanced Fund’s advisory fee rate was higher than the average of its Lipper Category, and the net expense ratio was lower than the average of its Lipper Category.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio for the Fixed Income Fund were in the fourth and second quartile of its Lipper Category, respectively. In this case, the Fixed Income Fund’s advisory fee rate was higher than the average of its Lipper Category and the net expense ratio was lower than the average of its Lipper Category.
The Board considered the advisory fee rates charged by LKCM to other accounts managed by LKCM with similar investment strategies. The Board noted LKCM’s explanation that the fee rates charged by LKCM to the Funds and its similar accounts differ primarily as a result of differences in the regulatory, compliance and related expenses and level of services between the Funds and the other similar accounts.
Costs, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered LKCM’s costs in rendering services to the Funds and the profitability of LKCM. The Board reviewed the fees paid by each Fund to LKCM for the last three calendar years. The Board also reviewed the estimated profit and loss statement provided by LKCM on a Fund-by-Fund basis. With respect to economies of scale, the Board considered that the Funds generally benefit from competitive management fee rates and net expense ratios despite not having reached an asset size at which economies of scale traditionally would be considered to exist. The Board also considered that, while there are no breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules, LKCM waives fees and/or reimburses expenses to maintain the Funds’ net expense ratios at competitive levels.
Benefits Derived by LKCM from its Relationship with the Funds. The Board requested and considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to LKCM from its association with the Funds. The Board noted that LKCM believes that both LKCM and the Funds benefit from LKCM’s soft dollar and commission sharing arrangements for third party and proprietary research used by LKCM in connection with its investment process. The Board also noted that LKCM believes its relationship with the Funds provides an indirect benefit to both parties in the form of enhanced recognition among institutional investors, consultants and other members of the financial community. The Board considered the indirect benefits to LKCM, in the form of additional clients with separately managed portfolios or subadvisory relationships with other mutual funds, and the Funds, which also may attract additional investors to the Funds.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of these and other factors, the Board: (1) concluded that the fees paid to LKCM under the Agreement are fair and reasonable; (2) determined that shareholders would benefit from LKCM’s continued management of the Funds; and (3) approved the renewal of the Agreement with respect to the Funds.

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 Funds 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’ investment adviser, has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses of each Fund to maintain designated expense ratios through April 30, 2017. 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 during the relevant period. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. Investment performance is based upon the net expense ratio. LKCM waived management fees and/or reimbursed expenses for each Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2016. |
** | Expense ratios above are as of December 31, 2015, 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’ six months ended June 30, 2016 may differ due to the inclusion of acquired fund fees and expenses. |
*** | 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) | On July 29, 2016, the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund and the LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund reorganized into the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund (the “Reorganizations”). At the time the Reorganizations were completed, the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund changed its name to the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund (“Equity Fund”) and its investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, changed to the investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, of the Equity Fund. |
(2) | 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. |
(3) | 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. |
(4) | The Russell 2000® Index is an unmanaged index which measures the performance of the 2000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000® Index. |
Note: The indices defined above are not available for direct investment and the index performance therefore does not include fees, expenses or taxes.
1H2016 Review and Outlook
Domestically, economic data, including real personal income, initial jobless claims, and housing prices, improved during the first half of 2016. Business investment remained somewhat muted during the first half of 2016 as a result of lower levels of investment in the oil and gas industry and the continued impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. We believe that capital investment is likely to rise as these twin headwinds abate. While corporate profit growth generally has been challenging, we anticipate that year-over-year growth in corporate profits will resume in the second half of 2016.
With nearly all negative-yield debt concentrated in the Eurozone and Japan, we believe that it should come as no surprise that there has been record demand at U.S. government debt auctions this year. In May, demand for two-, five-, and seven-year U.S. Treasury notes soared to all-time highs. Relative to equities, we believe U.S. Treasury bonds are overvalued. The yield on the ten-year Treasury note closed the second quarter of 2016 at 1.47%, the lowest level since August 2012. Put into context, the dividend yield on the S&P 500® Index was 2.18% at the close of the second quarter of 2016. We believe U.S. Treasury notes have only been more expensive during two other time periods – 2008 and 2012. Following each of these years, U.S. Treasuries went on to post their worst annual returns on record, losing approximately 3.7% in 2009 and 3.4% in 2013.
In our view, the corrosive effect of negative interest rates will become more apparent over time. Negative interest rates generally hurt savers while at the same time compelling them to set aside even greater sums. We believe this will have negative repercussions for economic growth over time, contrary to the stated intent of the exercise. Even low interest rates domestically are unsettling in our view. The yield curve, which represents the anticipated rate of interest for successive years, is traditionally upward-sloping. This is because the interest rate on the ten-year U.S. Treasury note should be the same, in theory, as the rate of a one-year U.S. Treasury note rolled ten times plus a slight premium for the uncertainty of owning a longer-dated asset and its potential erosion in value due to inflation. Therefore, we believe that what longer-term domestic interest rates are implying is that not only is economic growth tepid now, but domestic economic growth is expected to be lackluster for the next ten years. However, we do not believe that interest rates are a definitive indicator of future domestic economic growth due to various factors.
2
While future economic growth expectations are imbedded in the level of U.S. Treasury rates, we believe there are additional forces pulling interest rates lower. For example, negative interest rates in parts of Europe and Japan appear to be exerting a gravitational pull on U.S. interest rates. While an interest rate of around 1.50% for a ten-year maturity U.S. Treasury note is not exciting in our view from a historical context, we think it is downright exhilarating compared to the negative interest rates of approximately -0.13% in Germany, -0.22% in Japan, and -0.58% in Switzerland. We believe these forces have resulted in record demand for U.S. Treasuries at recent auctions.
We expect the year-over-year change in corporate profits for the S&P 500® Index will be negative for the second quarter of 2016, which would mark the fifth consecutive quarter of negative growth. The level of the S&P 500® Index has essentially moved sideways since the beginning of 2015 with episodic drawdowns primarily related to economic growth concerns. Over the past eighteen months, corporate profits appear to have been hindered by negative earnings in the energy sector as well as the negative impact of a stronger U.S. dollar. We believe both of these headwinds are fading and will eventually result in the resumption of corporate earnings growth as we enter 2017. We believe this has the potential to boost equity markets in the second half of 2016 as investors focus on future earnings expectations, particularly once we get beyond the fall elections.
LKCM Aquinas Value Fund
The LKCM Aquinas Value Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, advancing 1.38% against the 6.30% return for the benchmark. The Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark benefited from stock selection in the Materials sector, but stock selection in the Information Technology, Financials and Industrials sectors detracted from performance relative to the benchmark. The Fund’s underweight position in the Utilities and Financials sectors and overweight position in the Consumer Discretionary sector also detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the period. Upon the completion of the reorganizations of the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund and the LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund into the Fund on July 29, 2016, the Fund changed its name to the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund and its investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, changed to the investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, of the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund, as discussed below. We believe that, as the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund, the Fund is well positioned for an anticipated improvement in consumer spending based on our expectations for improving employment and wages and lower energy costs.
LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund
The LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, during the six months ended June 30, 2016, declining 0.33% versus the 2.22% advance for the benchmark. During the first half of 2016, stock selection in the Healthcare and Consumer Staples sectors benefited the Fund’s relative performance, while stock selection in the Financials sector, which suffered from an unexpected decline in interest rates during the first half of 2016, detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund’s underweight position in the Utilities sector, in which the Fund had no holdings, as well as the Fund’s tilt toward growth stocks, also contributed to the Fund’s relative underperformance during the first half of 2016.
LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund
The LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund returned 1.63% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the 1.36% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, during the same period. During the first half of 2016, stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Healthcare and Information Technology sectors benefited the Fund’s relative performance, while stock selection in the Industrials and Financials sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. The Fund also benefited from its underweight position in the Healthcare sector, which was primarily the result of the Fund’s Catholic-values investing mandate that limits the Fund’s ability to invest in a number of companies in this sector.
Fund Reorganizations
We are pleased to report that shareholders of the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund and the LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund approved the Plan of Reorganization and Dissolution with respect to the reorganization of the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund and the LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund into the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund (the “Reorganizations”) at a special meeting of shareholders held on July 20, 2016. Accordingly, effective July 29, 2016, the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund and the LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund were reorganized into the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization and Dissolution. At the time the Reorganizations were completed, the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund changed its name to the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund and its investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, changed to the investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, of the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund. Upon consummation of the Reorganizations, the cap on the net expense ratio of the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund under an expense limitation agreement with Luther King Capital Management Corporation was lowered from 1.50% per annum to 1.00% per annum through at least December 31, 2017 and the Rule 12b-1 distribution fee rate payable by the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund was reduced from 0.25% per annum to 0.10% per annum. Additional information about the Reorganizations and the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund can be obtained by visiting www.aquinasfunds.com.

The information provided herein represents the opinion of J. Luther King, Jr., CFA, CIC and is not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice.
Please refer to the Schedule of Investments found on pages 7-11 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 Investing Guidelines, the Funds may forego a profitable investment opportunity or sell a security when it may be disadvantageous to do so.
Earnings growth is not a measure of future performance.
Stocks are generally perceived to have more financial risk than bonds in that bond holders have a claim on firm operations or assets that is senior to that of equity holders. In addition, stock prices are generally more volatile than bond prices. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. A stock may trade with more or less liquidity than a bond depending on the number of shares and bonds outstanding, the size of the company, and the demand for the securities. Similarly, the transaction costs involved in trading a stock may be more or less than a particular bond depending on the factors mentioned above and whether the stock or bond trades upon an exchange. Depending on the entity issuing the bond, it may or may or may not afford additional protections to the investor, such as a guarantee of return of principal by a government or bond insurance company. There is typically no guarantee of any kind associated with the purchase of an individual stock. Bonds are often owned by individuals interested in current income while stocks are generally owned by individuals seeking price appreciation with income a secondary concern. The tax treatment of returns of bonds and stocks also differs given differential tax treatment of income versus capital gain.
Dividend yield is a dividend expressed as a percentage of a current share price.
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.

LKCM Aquinas Funds Expense Example — June 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
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 (1/1/16 - 6/30/16).
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the tables 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 Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. 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.
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 (UNAUDITED) |
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 statutory trust on February 10, 1994 and consisted of eight diversified series as of June 30, 2016, three of which are presented herein: the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund, LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund (collectively, the “Funds”). The assets of the Funds are invested in separate, independently managed portfolios. On July 11, 2005, the Funds acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Aquinas Funds. As discussed in Note F below, on July 29, 2016, the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund and the LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund reorganized into the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund, which changed its name immediately thereafter to the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund and its investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, to the investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, of the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund. The 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 securities 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 (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) 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 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: Equity 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 on the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Nasdaq Global Market securities are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on a particular valuation date are valued at the mean of the most recent quoted bid and ask price on the relevant exchanges or markets. Equity securities listed on a foreign exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sales price on the exchange on which the security is primarily traded. Debt securities are normally valued at the mean of the closing bid and ask price and/or by using a combination of broker quotations or evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing service. Other assets and securities for which no market or broker quotations or evaluated prices 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 determinations regarding the fair value of a portfolio security and to report such determinations to the Board of Trustees. The Funds may use prices provided by independent pricing services to assist in the fair valuation of the Funds’ 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.
18
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.
| | | | |
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 June 30, 2016, 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. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of 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 Fund, LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund generally intend to pay dividends and distribute net capital, 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 securities of U.S. issuers. 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.
19
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. Security Transactions and Investment Income: 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. 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. The Funds may hold the securities of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Distributions from such investments may include income, capital gains and return of capital.
9. Other: 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.
10. Restricted and Illiquid Securities: The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale including investments considered by the Funds to be illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. Illiquid investments are investments that cannot be sold or disposed of within seven days in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. 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: 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 expenses of the Funds through April 30, 2017 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 six months ended June 30, 2016, the Adviser waived the following management fees and/or reimbursed expenses to meet its expense cap obligations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | LKCM Aquinas Value Fund | | | LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund | | | LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund | |
Annual Management Fee Rate | | | 0.90% | | | | 0.90% | | | | 1.00% | |
Annual Cap on Expenses | | | 1.50% | | | | 1.50% | | | | 1.50% | |
Fees Waived and/or Expenses Reimbursed in 2016 | | | $30,283 | | | | $32,683 | | | | $44,826 | |
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as transfer agent and administrator for the Funds 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 Fund, LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund, 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 Fund, LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, fees incurred by the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund, LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan were $49,469, $31,502, and $7,481, respectively.

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation, if any, is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
To the extent the Funds realize future net capital gains, taxable distributions will be reduced by any unused capital loss carryforwards as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. The Funds currently have no unused capital loss carryforwards.
At December 31, 2015, the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund and the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund deferred, on a tax basis, post-October capital losses of $199,596 and $23,931, respectively.
The tax components of dividends paid during the periods shown below were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 1,106,020 | |
The Funds designated as long-term capital gain dividend, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3), the amount necessary to reduce earnings and profits of the Funds related to net capital gain to zero for the tax year ended December 31, 2015. The Funds designated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders upon the redemption of shares during 2015 in determining undistributed net capital gains as of December 31, 2015.
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, 2012 through December 31, 2015. 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, 2015. 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: Effective July 29, 2016, the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund and the LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund (collectively, the “Acquired Funds”) were reorganized into the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund (“Acquiring Fund”) pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization and Dissolution (“Plan”) approved by the Board of Trustees and shareholders of the Acquired Funds the (“Reorganizations”). Pursuant to the Plan, each Acquired Fund transferred all of its respective assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange solely for shares of the Acquiring Fund having a net asset value equal to such Acquired Fund’s net asset value on the closing date of the Reorganizations and the Acquiring Fund’s assumption of all the liabilities of such Acquired Fund, following which such Acquired Fund distributed such shares of the Acquiring Fund pro rata to its shareholders and dissolved. The Reorganizations were tax-free to each Acquired Fund and its shareholders. Upon consummation of the Reorganizations contemplated by the Plan, the Acquiring Fund changed its name to the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund and the Acquiring Fund’s investment strategies and operating expenses, including its expense limitation agreement, changed to the investment strategies and operating expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, of the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund.

RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
WITH RESPECT TO LKCM AQUINAS FUNDS
Introduction. At a meeting held on February 23, 2016, the Board of Trustees of LKCM Funds, including the independent Trustees (the “Board”), approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between Luther King Capital Management Corporation (“LKCM”) and LKCM Funds (the “Trust”), on behalf of the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund, LKCM Aquinas Value Fund, and LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund (each, an “Aquinas Fund” and collectively, the “Aquinas Funds”).
In voting to approve the renewal of the Agreement, the Board considered information furnished throughout the year at regularly scheduled Board meetings, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with the annual renewal process. The Board also considered the overall fairness of the Agreement and factors it deemed relevant with respect to each Aquinas Fund including, but not limited to: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Aquinas Fund; (2) the performance of each Aquinas Fund as compared to a relevant benchmark and peer group of funds; (3) the level of the fees and the overall expenses of each Aquinas Fund and how those compared to a peer group of funds and other institutional portfolios; (4) the costs of services provided to the Aquinas Funds and the profitability of LKCM; (5) whether the fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of investors; and (6) any other benefits derived by LKCM from its relationship with the Aquinas Funds. The Board did not identify any single factor or item of information as all-important or controlling and each Board member may have accorded different weights to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Agreement.
In considering the approval of the Agreement, the Board requested and considered a broad range of information provided by LKCM, including but not limited to, reports relating to the Aquinas Funds’ Catholic-values investing mandate, each Aquinas Fund’s performance and expenses, information regarding other clients, certain portfolio compliance policies and the background and experience of the portfolio managers. In addition, the Board considered a memorandum from its legal counsel regarding the Board’s legal duties in considering the renewal of the Agreement. The Board also meets each quarter to review various aspects of the Aquinas Funds. In considering the approval of the Agreement, the Board also noted that it would be considering, at the meeting, a plan of reorganization pursuant to which the Aquinas Small Cap Fund and Aquinas Growth Fund would reorganize into the Aquinas Value Fund, and the name, investment strategy and operating expenses of the Aquinas Value Fund would change.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed and considered the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by LKCM to each Aquinas Fund under the Agreement. The Board considered that LKCM has provided investment management services to individuals, foundations, estates, employee benefit plans, endowments, corporations and other clients since 1979. The Board recognized that LKCM is responsible for managing the Aquinas Funds and monitoring their performance. The Board considered LKCM’s financial resources, insurance coverage, culture of compliance and compliance operations that support the Aquinas Funds. The Board also considered LKCM’s representation that it has invested considerable resources into the firm and its personnel to augment investment management and client service. The Board reviewed the portfolio managers and other key personnel who provide services to each Aquinas Fund, and considered LKCM’s representation that the firm historically has experienced very low personnel turnover. The Board also considered LKCM’s representation that the firm has implemented a compensation structure designed to attract and retain highly qualified investment professionals.
The Board also reviewed the compliance services provided to the Aquinas Funds by LKCM, including LKCM’s oversight of the Aquinas Funds’ day-to-day operations. The Trustees focused on the quality of LKCM’s compliance and support staff. In addition, the Board considered LKCM’s summary of its procedures for monitoring the Aquinas Funds’ key service providers. The Board also considered LKCM’s description of its best execution practices, and noted LKCM’s representation that its soft-dollar and commission sharing arrangements for client transactions (including those for the Aquinas Funds) comply with the safe harbor provided by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Performance of the Aquinas Funds. The Board considered the performance of each Aquinas Fund compared to the Aquinas Fund’s benchmark index (“Benchmark”) and peer group funds compiled by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper Index”) for various time periods ended December 31, 2015. In considering this comparative data, the Board noted that each Aquinas Fund is managed in accordance with its Catholic-values investing guidelines, which restricts their investments and generally are not applicable to the Benchmark or funds included in the respective Lipper Indexes. The Board also considered LKCM’s discussion of each Aquinas Fund’s performance.
In considering each Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviews, at its regularly scheduled meetings, information about each Fund’s performance. The Board also noted LKCM’s representation that its investment strategy for the Funds focuses on investments in higher quality companies that meet LKCM’s stringent investment criteria, which had encountered difficulty in overcoming the general market’s “reach for yield” and focus on lower quality companies that have driven performance in recent years, but that LKCM believes the Funds are well positioned for the future.
The Board noted that the Aquinas Small Cap Fund underperformed its Benchmark and its Lipper Index for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods.
The Board noted that the Aquinas Value Fund outperformed its Benchmark and its Lipper Index for the one-year, ten-year and since-inception periods, but underperformed its Benchmark and Lipper Index for the three-year and five-year periods.
24
The Board noted that the Aquinas Growth Fund underperformed its Benchmark and its Lipper Index for one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods.
Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the advisory fee rates and the net expense ratios (after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) of each Aquinas Fund relative to similar funds and LKCM’s other clients. The Board also considered that LKCM had contractually agreed to continue the current fee waivers and expense caps in effect for each Aquinas Fund until April 30, 2017. The Board noted that the fee rates for the Aquinas Funds may be higher than other similar funds due to the additional services LKCM provides in managing the Aquinas Funds in accordance with the socially responsible investing guidelines provided by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Board compared the contractual advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio of each Aquinas Fund to a category of similar funds compiled by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper Category”). The first quartile in a Lipper Category represents those funds with the lowest fees or expenses.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio for the Aquinas Small Cap Fund were in the fourth and third quartile of its Lipper Category, respectively. In this case, the Aquinas Small Cap Fund’s advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio were higher than the average of its Lipper Category.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio for the Aquinas Value Fund were both in the fourth quartile of its Lipper Category. In this case, the Aquinas Value Fund’s advisory fee rate and net expense ratio were higher than the average of its Lipper Category.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate and the net expense ratio for the Aquinas Growth Fund were in the fourth and third quartile of its Lipper Category, respectively. In this case, the Aquinas Growth Fund’s advisory fee rate and net expense ratio were higher than the average of its Lipper Category.
The Board considered the advisory fee rates charged by LKCM to other accounts managed by LKCM with similar investment strategies. The Board noted LKCM’s explanation that the fee rates charged by LKCM to the Funds and its similar accounts differ primarily as a result of differences in the regulatory, compliance and related expenses and level of services between the Funds and the other similar accounts.
Costs, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered LKCM’s costs in rendering services to the Aquinas Funds and the profitability of LKCM. The Board reviewed the fees paid by each Aquinas Fund to LKCM for the last three calendar years. The Board also reviewed the estimated profit and loss statement provided by LKCM on a Fund-by-Fund basis, before and after any distribution-related payments made by LKCM. With respect to economies of scale, the Board considered that the asset levels in the Aquinas Funds are relatively low. Based on these asset levels, the Board noted that LKCM believes that economies of scale likely cannot be achieved until assets increase in the Aquinas Funds. The Board also considered that, while there are no breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules, LKCM waives fees and/or reimburses expenses to maintain the Funds’ net expense ratios at competitive levels.
Benefits Derived by LKCM from its Relationship with the Aquinas Funds. The Board requested and considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to LKCM from its association with the Aquinas Funds. The Board noted that LKCM believes that both LKCM and the Aquinas Funds benefit from LKCM’s soft-dollar and commission sharing arrangements for third party and proprietary research used by LKCM in connection with its investment process. The Board also noted that LKCM believes its relationship with the Aquinas Funds provides an indirect benefit to both parties in the form of enhanced recognition among institutional investors, consultants and other members of the financial community. The Board considered the indirect benefits to LKCM, in the form of additional clients with separately managed portfolios or subadvisory relationships with other mutual funds, which also may attract additional investors to the Aquinas Funds.
Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of these and other factors, the Board: (1) concluded that the fees paid to LKCM under the Agreement are fair and reasonable; (2) determined that shareholders would benefit from LKCM’s continued management of the Aquinas Funds; and (3) approved the renewal of the Agreement.
