Semi-Annual Report
June 30, 2020
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the LKCM Funds’ shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the LKCM Funds (if you hold your Fund shares directly with the LKCM Funds) or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank (if you hold your Fund shares through a financial intermediary). Instead, the reports will be made available on a website, and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report.
If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. If you hold your Fund shares directly with the LKCM Funds, you may elect to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically from the LKCM Funds by calling 1-800-688-LKCM or, if you hold your Fund shares through a financial intermediary, by contacting your financial intermediary.
You may elect to receive all future reports on paper free of charge. If you hold your Fund shares directly with the LKCM Funds, you can inform the LKCM Funds that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by calling 1-800-688-LKCM or, if you hold your Fund shares through a financial intermediary, contacting your financial intermediary.

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 the expense ratios designated in the Funds’ prospectus through May 1, 2021. 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, which is based on the net expense ratio, 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, 2020. |

1H2020 Review and Outlook
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused tremendous human and economic hardships both domestically and globally. The measures taken to protect public health have induced a sharp decline in economic activity and a surge in job losses, which has directly impacted consumer spending. Prior to the pandemic, the U.S. recorded the lowest unemployment rate in a half a century, which reversed and soared to a postwar high of approximately 14.7% in April 2020. The disruptions to economic activity resulting from the pandemic materially tightened financial conditions and impaired the flow of credit to households and businesses. The Federal Reserve, in response to tightening financial conditions, quickly lowered its policy interest rate to near zero in March 2020 and took extraordinary measures to bolster the flow of credit to households, businesses, and communities. We believe that financial conditions have improved considerably as a result of this monetary policy response alongside the flow of capital within the economy.
We believe the scale and breadth of the fiscal policy response to the pandemic is equally critical. The potential costs of doing too little include, among other things, lost wages, fewer jobs, and deteriorating job skills. We believe the people most vulnerable to the adverse
2
effects of a recession are those who already faced barriers to economic opportunity, including low-income workers. While the pandemic-induced recession resulted in significant dislocations in the labor market, we believe the degree to which these disruptions are permanent or temporary largely hinges on the appropriate fiscal response. In our view, the U.S. fortunately has the fiscal capacity to undertake large scale spending. We believe that while there are naturally times to be concerned about growing the national debt, as the former chairman of President George W. Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers, Gregory Mankiw, recently quipped, “This is not one of them.”
In our view, the unprecedented monetary and fiscal response to the pandemic thus far has been sufficient to bolster investor confidence that the recession is likely to be as brief as it is deep. This optimistic level of investor confidence appears evident in the 20.5% appreciation in the S&P 500® Index in the second quarter of 2020. However, we believe it is difficult to recall a time when the general level of uncertainty has been as great as it is today. In our view, this uncertainty is clearly evident in the wide range of economic forecasts across public and private sector economists. We believe the breadth of potential outcomes is driven by the record speed of economic change and policy responses. Additionally, we believe the pandemic is undermining the reliability of certain economic data, particularly survey-based data of businesses and households as noted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Finally, we believe epidemiological outcomes will significantly influence the rate of business reopening, which has a profound impact on economic output. In our view, with the lack of visibility into these fundamental assumptions in economic models, there remains high dispersion and low confidence in traditional economic forecasts.
The pandemic ended the longest economic expansion on record, but the recession that ended it may be the shortest on record. The economy peaked in February 2020 and fell into a severe recession partially as a result of state governors’ lockdown orders to impose social distancing. We believe the slow reopening of the economy since mid-May 2020 has already resulted in a large upswing in data series such as gasoline consumption and electricity usage, which are near real-time proxies for economic activity.
We believe the Federal Reserve is trying to ensure that credit continues to flow to households and businesses during this difficult time and that the financial system does not amplify the shock to the economy. In our view, fiscal policies aimed at limiting the permanent damage to the economy have been enacted so that when the pandemic eventually recedes, the economy is positioned to supply goods and services to meet demand. Following a sharp rebound in economic activity from a very low level, we believe the shape of the extended economic recovery will depend a great deal on progress to combat the coronavirus. We believe the Funds have invested in companies that are financially strong and well-positioned to compete once the economy recovers from this economic and health crisis.
LKCM Equity Fund
The LKCM Equity Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, returning 0.07% against the -3.08% return for the benchmark. We believe the Fund’s investment strategy of investing in high quality companies with solid cash flow characteristics and reasonable debt levels proved successful during the uncertain and challenging environment. The Fund benefited from strong stock selection in the Industrials, Information Technology and Materials sectors relative to the benchmark, which was partially offset by stock selection in the Financials sector. The Fund’s underweight position in the Financials sector enhanced the Fund’s relative performance, while the Fund’s underweight position in the Information Technology sector and overweight position in the Industrials sector detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. We believe the Fund’s continued emphasis on high quality companies that meet our stringent investment criteria has the Fund well positioned in this uncertain and challenging environment.
LKCM Balanced Fund
The LKCM Balanced Fund returned -1.07% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 against the -3.08% return for the S&P 500® Index and the 5.28% return for the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index during the same period. The Fund’s equity portfolio benefited from solid stock selection in the Information Technology, Consumer Staples and Materials sectors relative to the benchmark, as well as having limited exposure to the underperforming Utilities and Real Estate sectors. Stock selection in the Communications Services and Financials sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the period. The Fund’s fixed income portfolio generated positive returns during the period as interest rates moved lower across the yield curve. The Fund’s fixed income portfolio remains focused on investments in high quality corporate bonds with intermediate maturities. We believe the Fund continues to be well-positioned in this uncertain and challenging environment.
LKCM Fixed Income Fund
The LKCM Fixed Income Fund returned 3.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index, which advanced 5.28% during the period. During this period, U.S. Treasury yields declined sharply and the curve steepened, as measured by the yield differential between the 3-month T-bill and the 10-year U.S. Treasury. The longest economic expansion on record came to an abrupt end in February 2020 as COVID-19 began to take hold in the United States and was followed by the unprecedented step of a government-mandated shut down of the vast majority of the U.S. economy in an effort to stem the virus spread. Within this backdrop, the Federal Reserve stepped up with aggressive monetary policy, cutting the federal funds rate to near zero in a period of twelve days and implemented a series of liquidity backstops in an effort to ensure the functioning of the financial markets. Congress also acted by quickly implementing fiscal stimulus legislation to cushion the fallout of mandated business closures in an effort to provide a bridge for the record loss of jobs and commerce. In this environment, U.S. Treasuries, especially longer-dated issues, substantially outperformed corporate bonds as spreads widened sharply and investors sought
3
to reduce credit risk exposure. The Fund’s overweight position in corporate bonds and shorter duration issues relative to the benchmark detracted from the Fund’s performance during this period. The majority of the Fund remains focused on short-to-intermediate investment grade corporate bonds with strong underlying credit fundamentals in an effort to mitigate interest rate risk and credit risk in this volatile economic environment.
LKCM International Equity Fund
The LKCM International Equity Fund returned -7.62% during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the -11.07% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, during the same period. The Fund’s performance benefited from being underweight the Financials sector relative to the benchmark, which was partially offset by the Fund’s overweight position in the Industrials sector relative to the benchmark. The Fund remained overweight the Information Technology and Healthcare sectors, which also collectively contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance. Stock selection was the greatest contributor to the Fund’s relative performance with sector allocation decisions providing more modest contributions to the Fund’s relative performance. In particular, the Fund benefited from strong stock selection in the Information Technology, Industrials and Healthcare sectors relative to the benchmark, which was partially offset by stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Financials sectors where the dislocations resulting from COVID-19 persist in concerns for certain consumer activity and bank credit. We believe the Fund continues to be well-positioned to generate attractive returns for shareholders through investments in companies that we believe are competitively advantaged, can generate returns in excess of their costs of capital, and have good opportunities for long-term earnings growth.
LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund
The LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, returning -5.13% compared to the -12.98% return for the benchmark. During the first half of 2020, both stock selection and sector allocation decisions for the Fund contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. The largest contributions to the Fund’s relative performance during the period came from stock selection in the Information Technology and Financials sectors and the Fund’s underweight position in the underperforming Utilities sector. Stock selection in the Information Technology sector was enhanced by the outperformance of one of the Fund’s investments, which was up nearly 350% during the second quarter of 2020. Stock selection in the Financials sector benefited from overweighting investments in insurance companies and underweighting investments in banks. The Fund also benefited from stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector relative to the benchmark, which was partially offset by stock selection in the Communications Services sector. In addition, the Fund benefited from an overweight position in the Healthcare sector as well as a continued tilt towards investments in companies with growth characteristics. We believe our investment strategy of investing in high quality, competitively advantaged companies has the Fund well-positioned to continue to deliver solid returns to shareholders.
LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund
The LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500® Index, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, returning -1.10% compared to the -11.05% return for the benchmark. During the first half of 2020, both stock selection and sector allocation decisions for the Fund contributed to the Fund’s relative performance. The largest contributions to the Fund’s relative performance during the period came from stock selection in the Financials, Healthcare and Industrials sectors and the Fund’s underweight position in the underperforming Utilities sector. Stock selection in the Financials sector benefited from overweighting investments in insurance companies and underweighting investments in banks. The Fund also benefited from stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples sectors relative to the benchmark, which was partially offset by stock selection in the Information Technology sector. In addition, the Fund benefited from overweight positions in the Information Technology and Healthcare sectors as well as a continued tilt towards investments in companies with growth characteristics. We believe our investment strategy of investing in high quality, competitively advantaged companies has the Fund well-positioned to continue to deliver solid returns to shareholders.

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 9-23 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. Investments in equity securities are subject to market risks and significant fluctuations in value. 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.
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.
Yield curve is a line that plots yields (interest rates) of bonds having equal credit quality but differing maturity dates. The slope of the yield curve gives an idea of future interest rate changes and economic activity.
Bond ratings are grades given to bonds that indicate their credit quality as determined by a private independent rating service such as S&P Global. The firm evaluates 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. In limited situations when the rating agency has not issued a formal rating, the rating agency will classify the security as nonrated.
Cash flow is the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents being transferred into and out of a business.
Investors should consider the investment objective, risks and charges and expenses of a Fund carefully before investing. Each Fund’s summary prospectus and the prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund. Investors can obtain a summary prospectus or the prospectus by calling 1-800-688-LKCM. The summary prospectus and the prospectus should be read carefully before investing in a Fund.

LKCM Funds Expense Example — June 30, 2020 (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 (1/1/20-6/30/20).
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 (doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services), 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, Fixed Income, and International Equity 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 consists of seven diversified series as of June 30, 2020, six of which are presented herein and include the LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Equity Fund, LKCM Balanced Fund, LKCM Fixed Income Fund and LKCM International Equity Fund (collectively, the “Funds”). The assets of the Funds are invested in separate, independently managed portfolios. Investment operations of the Funds began on July 14, 1994 (LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund), January 3, 1996 (LKCM Equity Fund), December 30, 1997 (LKCM Balanced Fund and LKCM Fixed Income Fund), May 2, 2011 (LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund) and May 1, 2019 (LKCM International Equity Fund). The LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund and LKCM Equity Fund previously had two share classes—Institutional Class shares and Adviser Class shares. The Board of Trustees of the Trust approved the (i) liquidation and termination of Adviser Class shares of the LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund, which took place on October 31, 2018, and (ii) termination of Adviser Class shares of the LKCM Equity Fund and LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, which had not commenced operations and had no assets or shareholders, on September 24, 2018. Each Fund charges a 1% redemption fee for redemptions of 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 (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 $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 $12 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 current income and long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of equity and fixed income 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 LKCM International Equity Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities of non-U.S. companies and invests under normal circumstances at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity 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. equity securities and listed U.S. equity 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. Futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement prices established each day on the principal exchange on which they are traded. Forward contracts are valued based on the forward rate using information provided by an independent pricing service. Other assets and securities for which no market or broker quotations or evaluated prices are readily available are valued in good faith at fair value using guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established policies and procedures that authorize the Adviser to fair value a security in good faith under certain circumstances. The Funds may use prices provided by independent pricing services to assist in the fair valuation of the Funds’ portfolio securities. For foreign securities held by the LKCM International Equity Fund, such fair value prices generally will be based on such independent pricing services’ proprietary multi-factor models that measure movements in relevant indices, market indicators or other factors between the time the relevant foreign markets have closed and the time the Fund calculates its net asset value.
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
32
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, 2020, the Funds’ assets carried at fair value were classified as follows:

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, LKCM Equity Fund and LKCM International Equity Fund generally intend to declare and pay income dividends and distribute net capital gains, if any, at least on an annual basis. The LKCM Balanced Fund and LKCM Fixed Income Fund generally intend to declare and pay income dividends on a quarterly basis 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.
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 jurisdiction’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: Distributions from net investment income and realized capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Certain capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These permanent differences are primarily due to the varying treatment of income and gain/loss on portfolio securities held by the Fund and have no impact on net assets or NAV 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 the Funds reasonably expect cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions within seven calendar days or less in the ordinary course of business without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. 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.
34
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 May 1, 2021 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, 2020, the Adviser waived the following management fees and/or reimbursed expenses to meet its expense cap obligations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund | | | LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund | | | LKCM Equity Fund | | | LKCM Balanced Fund | | | LKCM Fixed Income Fund | | | LKCM International Equity Fund | |
Annual Management Fee Rate | | | 0.75% | | | | 0.75% | | | | 0.70% | | | | 0.65% | | | | 0.50% | | | | 0.90% | |
Annual Cap on Expenses | | | 1.00% | | | | 1.00% | | | | 0.80% | | | | 0.80% | | | | 0.50% | | | | 1.00% | |
Fees Waived and/or Expenses Reimbursed in 2020 | | | $78,495 | | | | $58,295 | | | | $325,885 | | | | $96,087 | | | | $381,323 | | | | $82,454 | |
The Trust reimburses the Adviser for a portion of compensation paid to the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer. This compensation is reported as part of the “Trustees’ fees and officer compensation” expense on the Statement of Operations.
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“U.S. Bancorp”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, 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 (“Quasar”), the Trust’s principal underwriter.
Effective March 31, 2020, Foreside Financial Group, LLC (“Foreside”) acquired Quasar, the Funds’ distributor, from U.S. Bancorp. As a result of the acquisition, Quasar became a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Foreside and is no longer affiliated with U.S. Bancorp. The Board of Trustees of the Funds has approved a new Distribution Agreement to enable Quasar to continue serving as the Funds’ distributor.
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan, under which each Fund may pay an annualized fee of 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, 2020, there was an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, no par value, authorized, for each Fund. The following table summarizes the activity in shares of each Fund:

The difference between book cost of investments and tax cost of investments is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
Net investment income and realized gains and losses for federal income tax purposes may differ from that reported on the financial statements because of permanent book-to-tax differences. GAAP requires that permanent differences between financial reporting and tax reporting be reclassified between various components of net assets. These differences are primarily due to net operating losses, swap contract adjustments, dividend reclasses, and dividends on redemption adjustments with differing book and tax methods.
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. At December 31, 2019, the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

The Funds designated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders upon the redemption of shares during 2019 in determining undistributed net capital gains as of December 31, 2019.
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, 2016 through December 31, 2019 (LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund, LKCM Equity Fund, LKCM Balanced Fund and LKCM Fixed Income Fund) and December 31, 2019 (LKCM International Equity Fund). There is no
37
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, 2019. 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. Other Matters: The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Funds’ performance.
G. Subsequent Events: In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated the Funds’ related events and transactions that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2020 through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no significant subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
WITH RESPECT TO LKCM SMALL CAP EQUITY FUND, LKCM
SMALL-MID CAP EQUITY FUND, LKCM EQUITY FUND, LKCM
BALANCED FUND, LKCM FIXED INCOME FUND AND LKCM
INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
Introduction. At a meeting held on February 25, 2020, 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, on behalf of the LKCM Small Cap Equity Fund (the “Small Cap Equity Fund”), LKCM Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund (the “Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund”), LKCM Equity Fund (the “Equity Fund”), LKCM Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”), LKCM Fixed Income Fund (the “Fixed Income Fund”) and LKCM International Equity Fund (the “International Equity 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, peer group of funds compiled by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) and an account managed by LKCM pursuant to similar investment strategies (“Similar Account”) or a composite (“Composite”) of Similar Accounts; (3) the contractual advisory fee rate, actual advisory fee rate and net expense ratio of each Fund, how those compared to a peer group of funds compiled by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), and how each applicable Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate compared to the Similar Accounts; (4) the costs of services provided to the Funds and the profitability of LKCM with respect to such services; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by LKCM as a Fund grows and 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 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 renewal 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 the Similar Accounts, 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 the Funds’ performance and expenses and various aspects of the Funds’ operations.
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 was established in 1979 and provides investment management services to private funds, foundations, endowments, pension plans, trusts, estates, high net worth individuals and other clients. The Board recognized that LKCM is responsible for managing the Funds, including identifying investments for the Funds, monitoring the Funds’ investment programs, executing trades and overseeing the Funds’ performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations and the Funds’ investment policies. 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 information regarding the portfolio managers and other key personnel who provide services to each Fund and considered LKCM’s representation that the firm historically has experienced 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 Board considered the quality of LKCM’s compliance personnel. In addition, the Board considered LKCM’s summary of its oversight of 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 requirements of the safe harbor provided by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Performance of the Funds. The Board considered the performance of each Fund compared to the Fund’s benchmark index (“benchmark”), peer groups of funds compiled by Broadridge and Lipper, and a Lipper peer group index (“Lipper Index”) for various time periods ended December 31, 2019. Additionally, the Board considered LKCM’s discussion of each Fund’s performance.
The Board 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 LKCM believes have not been characteristics that have driven the performance of certain funds’ benchmarks in prior years, and considered that these factors had adversely affected the performance of the Small Cap Equity Fund and Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund during the longer-term periods ended December 31, 2019. The Board also considered certain additional factors cited by LKCM as contributing to or detracting from a Fund’s performance during the prior year.
The Board noted that the Small Cap Equity Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, and its Lipper Index for the three-year and since-inception periods, but underperformed its benchmark and Lipper Index for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods.
40
The Board noted that the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index, and its Lipper Index for the one-year and three-year periods, but underperformed its benchmark and Lipper Index for the five-year and since-inception periods.
The Board noted that the Equity Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods. The Board also noted that the Equity Fund outperformed its Lipper Index for the one-year, three-year, ten-year and since-inception periods, but underperformed its Lipper Index for the five-year period.
The Board noted that the Balanced Fund had outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods. 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 custom 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 since-inception period, but underperformed the Blended Index for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year 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, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index, 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 one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods.
The Board noted that the International Equity Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, and its Lipper Index, for the since-inception period.
The Board also considered the performance of each Fund against its Similar Account or Composite, as applicable. The Board considered LKCM’s explanation that underperformance, if any, generally was attributable to tax considerations attendant to the management of a Fund that do not apply to non-taxable portfolios included in the Composite, the timing of cash flows resulting from shareholder purchase and redemption activities and, in the case of the International Equity Fund, the Fund’s cash position in connection with the initial investment of the Fund’s assets after the commencement of operations.
Fees and Expenses. The Board considered each Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, effective advisory fee rate (the contractual advisory fee rate net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements), total expense ratio and net expense ratio (the total expense ratio, including Rule 12b-1 fees and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees, after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements). The Board also considered that LKCM had contractually agreed to continue the current fee waivers and expense caps in effect for each Fund through May 1, 2021.
The Board compared the contractual advisory fee rate, effective advisory fee rate and net expense ratio of each Fund to a category of similar funds compiled by Broadridge (“Expense Group”) and a broader category comprised of the Fund, the Expense Group and other similar retail funds (“Expense Universe”). The Broadridge reports did not include a comparison of a Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate relative to the Expense Universe. For the Expense Group, contractual advisory fee rates were compared at a Fund’s asset level. The first quartile in an Expense Group and Expense Universe represents those funds with the lowest fees or expenses.
The Board generally considered that, although certain of the Funds’ contractual advisory fee rates are higher than those of their peers, the expense cap arrangements generally cause the Funds’ effective advisory fee rates and 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 for the Small Cap Equity Fund was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Small Cap Equity Fund’s net expense ratio was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. In this case, the Small Cap Equity Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, effective advisory fee rate and net expense ratio were lower than the median of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as applicable.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund’s net expense ratio was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. In this case, the Small-Mid Cap Equity Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, effective advisory fee rate and net expense ratio were lower than the median of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as applicable.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for the Equity Fund was in the second quartile of its Expense Group and the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Equity Fund’s net expense ratio was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and second quartile of its Expense Universe. In this case, the Equity Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was equal to the median of its Expense Group, and its effective advisory fee rate and net expense ratio were lower than the median of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as applicable.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for the Balanced Fund was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Balanced Fund’s net expense ratio was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. In this case, the Balanced Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, effective advisory fee rate and net expense ratio were lower than the median of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as applicable.
41
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for the Fixed Income Fund was in the fourth quartile of its Expense Group and the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Fixed Income Fund’s net expense ratio was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. In this case, the Fixed Income Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was higher than the median of its Expense Group and the effective advisory fee rate and net expense ratio were lower than the median of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as applicable.
The Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate for the International Equity Fund was in the second quartile of its Expense Group and the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the International Equity Fund’s net expense ratio was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and the second quartile of its Expense Universe. In this case, the International Equity Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was equal to the median of its Expense Group, and its effective advisory fee rate and net expense ratio were lower than the median of its Expense Group and Expense Universe, as applicable.
The Board also considered the advisory fee rates generally charged by LKCM to Similar Accounts and noted LKCM’s explanation that the fee rates charged by LKCM to the Funds and its Similar Accounts differ primarily as a result of the greater regulatory, compliance and related expenses incurred by LKCM in providing investment management services to the Funds as compared to the 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, except the International Equity Fund, to LKCM for the last three calendar years. The Board reviewed the fees paid by the International Equity Fund to LKCM for the last calendar year. The Board also reviewed the estimated profit and loss statement provided by LKCM on a Fund-by-Fund basis for the past calendar year, before and after any distribution payments made by LKCM. The Board noted that, during the year, LKCM had invested significant resources to cap the Funds’ net expense ratios and facilitate the distribution of the Funds. With respect to economies of scale, the Board considered that the Funds generally benefit from competitive effective advisory 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’ effective advisory fee rates and 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, which enhance the level of research that LKCM performs on the Funds’ portfolio companies. 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 and other investors, consultants and other members of the financial community. The Board considered the indirect benefits to LKCM of this recognition, 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 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.

ANNUAL REPORT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), LKCM Funds (the “Trust”) has adopted a liquidity risk management program (“Program”). The Program sets forth the Trust’s policies and procedures with respect to the management of liquidity risk for the separate series of the Trust (each, a “Fund”). Liquidity risk is generally defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet a request to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of the interest of the remaining shareholders of the Fund.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program addresses: (1) the assessment, management and periodic review of each Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the liquidity classification of each Fund’s portfolio investments as a highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid investment; (3) the determination of a highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”) for a Fund that does not primarily hold highly liquid investments, and procedures to respond to a shortfall in a Fund’s HLIM; (4) a limitation on each Fund’s investment in illiquid investments of 15% of the Fund’s net assets; and (5) redemptions in kind.
The Trust’s board of trustees (“Board”) has reviewed and approved the Program. The Board has designated Luther King Capital Management Corporation (“LKCM”), the Trust’s investment adviser, as the Program administrator (“Administrator”) with responsibility for administering the Program.
At a meeting of the Board held on May 19, 2020, the Board reviewed a written report (“Report”) from the Administrator addressing the operation of the Program and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation, for the period commencing with the Program’s partial implementation on June 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020. The Report reflected that each Fund was invested primarily in highly liquid assets and had sufficient cash flows to manage its liquidity requirements. The Report concluded that the Program is adequate and effective in managing the Funds’ liquidity risks.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
We report the following performance information for the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund for indicated periods ended June 30, 2020:

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-800-423-6369. The Fund imposes 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 Fund’s investment adviser, has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund to maintain an expense ratio of 1.00% per annum through May 1, 2021. 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, which is based on the net expense ratio, 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 the Fund during the six months ended June 30, 2020. |
** | Expense ratios above are as reported in the Fund’s current prospectus dated May 1, 2020. Expense ratios reported for other periods in the financial highlights of this report may differ. |
*** | The assets of the Aquinas Value Fund, Aquinas Growth Fund and Aquinas Small-Cap Fund were acquired by the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund, LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund and LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund, respectively, on July 11, 2005. Due to the change in adviser and investment technique, performance is being quoted for the period after the merger. The LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund and LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund were reorganized into the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund effective upon the close of business on July 29, 2016, after which the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund’s name, investment strategies and expenses changed to those of the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund. The performance shown prior to August 1, 2016 is that of the LKCM Aquinas Value Fund. |
(1) | Effective upon the close of business 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”). Immediately after 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. The Fund’s performance prior to August 1, 2016 reflects the Fund’s prior investment strategies. |
(2) | The S&P 500® Index is an unmanaged capitalization-weighted index of 500 selected stocks that is generally considered representative of the performance of large capitalization companies in the U.S. stock market. |

1H2020 Review and Outlook
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused tremendous human and economic hardships both domestically and globally. The measures taken to protect public health have induced a sharp decline in economic activity and a surge in job losses, which has directly impacted consumer spending. Prior to the pandemic, the U.S. recorded the lowest unemployment rate in a half a century, which reversed and soared to a postwar high of approximately 14.7% in April 2020. The disruptions to economic activity resulting from the pandemic materially tightened financial conditions and impaired the flow of credit to households and businesses. The Federal Reserve, in response to tightening financial conditions, quickly lowered its policy interest rate to near zero in March 2020 and took extraordinary measures to bolster the flow of credit to households, businesses, and communities. We believe that financial conditions have improved considerably as a result of this monetary policy response alongside the flow of capital within the economy.
We believe the scale and breadth of the fiscal policy response to the pandemic is equally critical. The potential costs of doing too little include, among other things, lost wages, fewer jobs, and deteriorating job skills. We believe the people most vulnerable to the adverse effects of a recession are those who already faced barriers to economic opportunity, including low-income workers. While the pandemic-induced recession resulted in significant dislocations in the labor market, we believe the degree to which these disruptions are permanent or temporary largely hinges on the appropriate fiscal response. In our view, the U.S. fortunately has the fiscal capacity to undertake large scale spending. We believe that while there are naturally times to be concerned about growing the national debt, as the former chairman of President George W. Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers, Gregory Mankiw, recently quipped, “This is not one of them.”
In our view, the unprecedented monetary and fiscal response to the pandemic thus far has been sufficient to bolster investor confidence that the recession is likely to be as brief as it is deep. This optimistic level of investor confidence appears evident in the 20.5% appreciation in the S&P 500® Index in the second quarter of 2020. However, we believe it is difficult to recall a time when the general level of uncertainty has been as great as it is today. In our view, this uncertainty is clearly evident in the wide range of economic forecasts across public and private sector economists. We believe the breadth of potential outcomes is driven by the record speed of economic change and policy responses. Additionally, we believe the pandemic is undermining the reliability of certain economic data, particularly survey-based data of businesses and households as noted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Finally, we believe
2
epidemiological outcomes will significantly influence the rate of business reopening, which has a profound impact on economic output. In our view, with the lack of visibility into these fundamental assumptions in economic models, there remains high dispersion and low confidence in traditional economic forecasts.
The pandemic ended the longest economic expansion on record, but the recession that ended it may be the shortest on record. The economy peaked in February 2020 and fell into a severe recession partially as a result of state governors’ lockdown orders to impose social distancing. We believe the slow reopening of the economy since mid-May 2020 has already resulted in a large upswing in data series such as gasoline consumption and electricity usage, which are near real-time proxies for economic activity.
We believe the Federal Reserve is trying to ensure that credit continues to flow to households and businesses during this difficult time and that the financial system does not amplify the shock to the economy. In our view, fiscal policies aimed at limiting the permanent damage to the economy have been enacted so that when the pandemic eventually recedes, the economy is positioned to supply goods and services to meet demand. Following a sharp rebound in economic activity from a very low level, we believe the shape of the extended economic recovery will depend a great deal on progress to combat the coronavirus. We believe the Funds have invested in companies that are financially strong and well-positioned to compete once the economy recovers from this economic and health crisis.
LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, returning -0.53% against the -3.08% return for the benchmark. During the first half of 2020, the Fund benefited from solid stock selection and sector allocation decisions relative to the benchmark. At June 30, 2020, we believe the Fund’s investments collectively had an annualized dividend yield of approximately 1.3% based upon our estimates of anticipated dividends from those investments.
During the period, the Fund’s relative performance benefited from being overweight the Information Technology sector and underweight the Financials, Utilities and Energy sectors. Stock selection during the period also contributed positively to the Fund’s relative performance, particularly in the Information Technology and Industrials sectors, which was partially offset by stock selection in the Energy and Financials sectors.
From a macro perspective, we anticipate that corporate profits for the second quarter of 2020 will decline significantly, improve sequentially thereafter, and be down meaningfully for the full year. We believe this has resulted in traditional valuation measures, such as price-earnings ratios, to appear extended but to date investors appear to have focused on recovery levels of profits and the sustainability of low interest rates. In our view, the commentary from corporate management teams as second quarter earnings are released will be important to the directional movement around stock prices, particularly in the short term.
In the short term, we believe overall corporate profits will be under a great deal of pressure and while we anticipate a sharp recovery during the third quarter of 2020, the magnitude and sustainability of such a recovery is inherently difficult to predict with any high level of confidence. We believe there is little question that despite significant Federal governmental actions to maintain and support the economy, many companies and consumers will not be able to reengage for some time. In our view, this could result in overall corporate profit levels remaining below peak 2019 levels for some time. We believe our conversations with corporate management teams of the Fund’s investments have been insightful and left us comfortable with their ability to work through financial issues created by this unique crisis.
In our view, there are challenges to achieving normalized economic growth including, among others, the duration of the virus pandemic, the timing of an effective vaccine and therapeutics, the ability and willingness of the Federal government to continue supporting challenged consumers and industries, and the overall level of consumer confidence. We believe low interest rates levels are currently an important support for the stock market given the high relative historic yields generated from stocks, and in the short-term we do not anticipate higher inflation or interest rates to be a negative factor for investors.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Investments in equity securities are subject to market risks and significant fluctuations in value. 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 Fund’s summary and statutory prospectuses. Since the Fund practices socially responsible investing within the framework provided by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop’s Socially Responsible Investing Guidelines, the Fund may forego a profitable investment opportunity or sell a security when it may be disadvantageous to do so.

LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund Expense Example — June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, 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 Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (1/1/20-6/30/20).
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. Although the Fund charges 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 (doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services) the Fund’s transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15 fee is charged by the Fund’s 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 Fund within 30 days of purchase, unless otherwise determined by the Fund in its discretion. To the extent the Fund invests in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. 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 table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. 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 Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 10, 1994 and consists of seven diversified series as of June 30, 2020, one of which is presented herein: the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund (the “Fund”). On July 11, 2005, the LKCM Aquinas Funds acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Aquinas Funds. Effective upon the close of business 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, changed to the investment strategies and expenses, including the expense limitation agreement, of the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund. The Fund is subject to expenses pursuant to the Rule 12b-1 plan described in Note B. The Fund charges a 1% redemption fee for redemptions of Fund shares held for less than 30 days, unless otherwise determined by the Fund in its discretion.
The LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund seeks to maximize long-term capital appreciation, while incorporating Catholic values investing principles in the investment process. The LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity 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 companies that Luther King Capital Management Corporation (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 the Adviser believes have attractive relative valuations.
The Fund practices socially responsible investing within the framework provided by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Socially Responsible Investment Guidelines (the “Guidelines”). The 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 the 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 Fund for policies on various issues contemplated by the Guidelines. If the 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 Fund in preparation of the financial statements. The Fund is an investment company and, accordingly, follows 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. equity securities and listed U.S. equity 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. Futures and options on futures are valued at the settlement prices established each day on the principal exchange on which they are traded. Forward contracts are valued based on the forward rate using information provided by an independent pricing service. Other assets and securities for which no market or broker quotations or evaluated prices are readily available are valued in good faith at fair value using guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established policies and procedures that authorize the Adviser to fair value a security in good faith under certain circumstances. The Fund may use prices provided by independent pricing services to assist in the fair valuation of the Fund’s 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.
| | | | |
Level 1 | | – | | Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Trust has access at the date of measurement. |
12
| | | | |
| | |
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, 2020, the Fund’s assets carried at fair value were classified as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund | | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| * | Additional information regarding the industry classifications of these investments is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. |
2. Federal Income Taxes: The Fund has elected to be treated as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and the 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 Fund generally intends to declare and pay income dividends and distribute net capital gain, 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 in the Trust are allocated among the Funds based upon (i) relative average net assets, (ii) a specific identification basis as incurred, or (iii) evenly among the Funds, depending on the nature of the expense.
6. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
7. Guarantees and Indemnifications: In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Fund expects 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 Fund’s understanding of the applicable jurisdiction’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 Fund 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: Distributions from net investment income and realized capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Certain capital accounts in the consolidated financial statements are periodically adjusted for permanent differences in order to reflect their tax character. These permanent differences are primarily due to the varying treatment of income and gain/loss on portfolio securities held by the Fund and have no impact on net assets or NAV per share.
10. Restricted and Illiquid Securities: The Fund is permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale including investments considered by the Fund to be illiquid. Restricted securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration. Illiquid investments are investments that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions within seven calendar days or less in the ordinary course of business without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily
13
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 Fund under an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Adviser receives a fee, computed daily and payable quarterly, at the annual rate presented below as applied to the 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 Fund through May 1, 2021 in order to limit the Fund’s operating expenses to the annual cap rate 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, 2020, the Adviser waived the following management fees and/or reimbursed expenses to meet its expense cap obligations for the Fund:
| | | | | |
Annual Management Fee Rate | | | | 0.90% | |
Annual Cap on Expenses | | | | 1.00% | |
Fees Waived and/or Expenses Reimbursed in 2020 | | | $ | 108,591 | |
The Trust reimburses the Adviser for a portion of compensation paid to the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer. This compensation is reported as part of the “Trustees fees and officer compensation” expense on the Statement of Operations.
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“U.S. Bancorp”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, serves as transfer agent and administrator for the Fund and serves as accounting services agent for the Fund. U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as custodian for the Fund.
Distribution services are performed pursuant to a distribution contract with Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar”), the Trust’s principal underwriter.
Effective March 31, 2020, Foreside Financial Group, LLC (“Foreside”) acquired Quasar, the Fund’s distributor, from U.S. Bancorp. As a result of the acquisition, Quasar became a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Foreside and is no longer affiliated with U.S. Bancorp. The Board of Trustees of the Fund has approved a new Distribution Agreement to enable Quasar to continue serving as the Fund’s distributor.
The Trust has adopted a Rule 12b-1 plan for the Fund, under which the Fund may pay an annualized fee of up to 1.00% of its average daily net assets for distribution and other services. However, the Board of Trustees has currently only authorized an annual fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets for the Fund. Prior to August 1, 2016, the Fund assessed an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets for the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, fees incurred by the Fund pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan were $21,737.

The tax components of dividends paid during the periods shown below for the Fund were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 | | | Year Ended December 31, 2019 | |
| | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | |
| | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 216,623 | | | $ | 4,712,789 | |
The Fund designated earnings and profits distributed to shareholders upon the redemption of shares during 2019 in determining undistributed net capital gains as of December 31, 2019.
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 Fund’s financial position or results of operations. Tax years that remain open to examination by major tax jurisdictions include tax years ended December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2019. 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, 2019. The Fund is 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 Fund would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in “interest expense” and penalties in “other expense” on the statement of operations.
F. Other Matters: The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
G. Subsequent Events: In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated the Fund’s related events and transactions that occurred subsequent to June 30, 2020 through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no significant subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
WITH RESPECT TO LKCM AQUINAS CATHOLIC EQUITY FUND
Introduction. At a meeting held on February 25, 2020, 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, on behalf of the LKCM Aquinas Catholic Equity Fund (the “Fund”).
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 the Fund, including, but not limited to: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund; (2) the performance of the Fund as compared to a relevant benchmark and peer group of funds compiled by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”); (3) the contractual advisory fee rate, actual advisory fee rate and net expense ratio of the Fund and how those compared to a peer group of funds compiled by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”); (4) the costs of services provided to the Fund and the profitability of LKCM with respect to such services; (5) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by LKCM as the Fund grows and 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 Fund. The Board did not identify any single factor or item of information as 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 renewal 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 Fund’s Catholic-values investing mandate, the Fund’s performance and expenses, 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 the Fund’s performance and expenses and various aspects of the Fund’s operations.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed and considered the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by LKCM to the Fund under the Agreement. The Board considered that LKCM was established in 1979 and provides investment management services to private funds, foundations, endowments, pension plans, trusts, estates, high net worth individuals and other clients. The Board recognized that LKCM is responsible for managing the Fund, including identifying investments for the Fund, monitoring the Fund’s investment program, executing trades and overseeing the Fund’s performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations and the Fund’s investment policies. The Board considered LKCM’s financial resources, insurance coverage, culture of compliance and compliance operations that support the Fund. 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 information regarding the portfolio managers and other key personnel who provide services to the Fund and considered LKCM’s representation that the firm historically has experienced 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 Fund by LKCM, including LKCM’s oversight of the Fund’s day-to-day operations. The Board considered the quality of LKCM’s compliance personnel. In addition, the Board considered LKCM’s summary of its oversight of the Fund’s 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 Fund) comply with the requirements of the safe harbor provided by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Performance of the Fund. The Board considered the performance of the Fund compared to the Fund’s benchmark index, the S&P 500 Index (“benchmark”), a peer group of funds compiled by Broadridge and Lipper, and a Lipper peer group index (“Lipper Index”) for various time periods ended December 31, 2019. The Board noted that, upon the closing of the reorganizations of the LKCM Aquinas Small Cap Fund and LKCM Aquinas Growth Fund into the Fund (the “Reorganization”), the Fund’s name, investment strategies, expenses, benchmark index and Lipper index changed and considered this in reviewing the Fund’s longer-term performance against its current benchmark and Lipper Index. The Board also considered LKCM’s discussion of the Fund’s performance.
The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its current benchmark for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its Lipper Index for the one-year period, but underperformed its Lipper Index for the three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods.
In considering the comparative performance data, the Board noted that the Fund is managed in accordance with its Catholic-values investing guidelines, which restrict the Fund’s investments and generally are not applicable to the benchmark or the funds included in the Lipper Index. The Board noted LKCM’s representation that its investment strategy for the Fund focuses on investments in higher quality companies that meet LKCM’s stringent investment criteria, and that the Fund pursued a value investing strategy prior to the Reorganization, which had underperformed growth investing strategies during certain periods. The Board also considered certain additional factors cited by LKCM as contributing to or detracting from the Fund’s performance during the prior year.
Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the contractual advisory fee rate, effective advisory fee rate (the contractual advisory fee rate net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements), total expense ratio and net expense ratio (the total expense ratio, including
17
Rule 12b-1 fees and non-Rule 12b-1 service fees, after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) of the Fund. The Board also considered that LKCM had contractually agreed to continue the current fee waivers and expense caps in effect for the Fund through May 1, 2021.
The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate, effective advisory fee rate and net expense ratio to a category of similar funds compiled by Broadridge (“Expense Group”) and a broader category comprised of the Fund, the Expense Group and other similar retail funds (“Expense Universe”). The Broadridge reports did not include a comparison of the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate relative to the Expense Universe. For the Expense Group, contractual advisory fee rates were compared at the Fund’s asset level. The first quartile in an Expense Group and Expense Universe represents those funds with the lowest fees or expenses.
The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was in the third quartile of its Expense Group and the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate was in the first quartile of its Expense Group and Expense Universe. The Board also considered that the Fund’s net expense ratio was in the second quartile of its Expense Group and third quartile of its Expense Universe. In this case, the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was higher than the median of its Expense Group, its effective advisory fee rate was lower than the median of its Expense Group and Expense Universe and its net expense ratio was lower than the median of its Expense Group and higher than the median of its Expense Universe.
The Board considered that, although the Fund’s contractual advisory fee rate was higher than those of its peers, the expense cap arrangements caused the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate and overall net expense ratio to be lower than, or in line with, those of its peers.
Costs, Profitability and Economies of Scale. The Board considered LKCM’s costs in rendering services to the Fund and the profitability of LKCM. The Board reviewed the fees paid by the Fund to LKCM for the last three calendar years. The Board also reviewed the estimated profit and loss statement provided by LKCM for the past calendar year, before and after any distribution payments made by LKCM. The Board noted that, during the year, LKCM had invested significant resources to cap the Fund’s net expense ratio and facilitate the distribution of the Fund. With respect to economies of scale, the Board considered that the Fund generally benefits from a competitive effective advisory fee rate and net expense ratio 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 Fund’s advisory fee rate schedule, LKCM waives fees and/or reimburses expenses to maintain the Fund’s effective advisory fee rate and net expense ratio at a competitive level.
Benefits Derived by LKCM from Its Relationship with the Fund. The Board requested and considered information regarding the potential fall-out benefits to LKCM from its association with the Fund. The Board noted that LKCM believes that both LKCM and the Fund benefit from LKCM’s soft-dollar and commission-sharing arrangements, which enhance the level of research that LKCM performs on the Fund’s portfolio companies. The Board also noted that LKCM believes its relationship with the Fund provides an indirect benefit to both parties in the form of enhanced recognition among institutional and other investors, consultants and other members of the financial community. The Board considered the indirect benefits to LKCM of this recognition, 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 Fund.
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 Fund; and (3) approved the renewal of the Agreement.

ANNUAL REPORT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), LKCM Funds (the “Trust”) has adopted a liquidity risk management program (“Program”). The Program sets forth the Trust’s policies and procedures with respect to the management of liquidity risk for the separate series of the Trust (each, a “Fund”). Liquidity risk is generally defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet a request to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of the interest of the remaining shareholders of the Fund.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Program addresses: (1) the assessment, management and periodic review of each Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the liquidity classification of each Fund’s portfolio investments as a highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid investment; (3) the determination of a highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”) for a Fund that does not primarily hold highly liquid investments, and procedures to respond to a shortfall in a Fund’s HLIM; (4) a limitation on each Fund’s investment in illiquid investments of 15% of the Fund’s net assets; and (5) redemptions in kind.
The Trust’s board of trustees (“Board”) has reviewed and approved the Program. The Board has designated Luther King Capital Management Corporation (“LKCM”), the Trust’s investment adviser, as the Program administrator (“Administrator”) with responsibility for administering the Program.
At a meeting of the Board held on May 19, 2020, the Board reviewed a written report (“Report”) from the Administrator addressing the operation of the Program and assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation, for the period commencing with the Program’s partial implementation on June 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020. The Report reflected that each Fund was invested primarily in highly liquid assets and had sufficient cash flows to manage its liquidity requirements. The Report concluded that the Program is adequate and effective in managing the Funds’ liquidity risks.
