Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to distribution (12b-1) and service fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, exchange privileges of each class of shares and sales charges. The price at which the Funds will offer or redeem shares is the net asset value (“NAV”) per share next determined after the order is considered received, subject to any applicable front end or contingent deferred sales charges. Class A shares have a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.25% for Real Estate Fund and Value Fund, and 4.75% for Municipal Fund, Income Fund and Opportunity Fund, as a percentage of the original purchase price.

CDSC on Class C Shares applies to shares sold within 13 months of purchase.

 

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

Each Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)   |   JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED)

 

A. Security Valuation: The offering price and NAV per share for the Funds are calculated as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Each Fund’s securities are valued at the official close or the last reported sales price on the principal exchange on which the security trades, or if no sales price is reported, the mean of the latest bid and ask prices is used. Securities traded over-the-counter are priced at the mean of the latest bid and ask prices. Unlisted securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued using an evaluated quote provided by the independent pricing service, or, if an evaluated quote is unavailable, such securities are valued using prices received from dealers, provided that if the dealer supplies both bid and ask prices, the price to be used is the mean of the bid and ask prices. The independent pricing service derives an evaluated quote by obtaining dealer quotes, analyzing the listed markets, reviewing trade execution data and employing sensitivity analysis. Evaluated quotes may also reflect appropriate factors such as individual characteristics of the issue, communications with broker-dealers, and other market data. Fund securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board of Directors (the “Board”).

 

B. Fair Value Measurements: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date.

 

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

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including each Fund’s own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments).

 

The summary of inputs used to value each Fund’s net assets as of June 30, 2021 is as follows:

In the absence of a listed price quote, or a supplied price quote which is deemed to be unrepresentative of the actual market price, the Adviser shall use any or all of the following criteria to value Level 3 securities:

 

Last sales price

 

Price given by pricing service

 

Last quoted bid & asked price

 

Third party bid & asked price

 

Indicated opening range

 

The significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments in common stock, corporate bonds and convertible corporate bonds for which market quotations are not readily available include: broker quotes, discounts from the most recent trade or “stale price” and estimates from trustees (in bankruptcies) on disbursements. A change in the assumption used for each of the inputs listed above may indicate a directionally similar change in the fair value of the investment.

C. Investment Income and Securities Transactions: Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the identified cost basis for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are reported on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily.

 

D. Federal Income Taxes: The Funds intend to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

E. Use of Estimates: In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

F. Distributions to Shareholders: The Funds intend to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders each year. The Real Estate Fund intends to pay two semi-annual income dividends and other distributions on June 30 and December 31 in the annual minimum amount of $.85 per share. The Value Fund intends to pay two semi-annual income dividends and other distributions on June 30 and December 31 in the annual minimum amount of $1.40 per share. The Opportunity Fund intends to pay two semi-annual income dividends and other distributions on June 30 and December 31 in the annual minimum amount of $.60 per share. For the Income Fund and Municipal Fund, income distributions will typically be declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gains, if any, for all the Funds, will be distributed annually in December, but may be distributed more frequently if deemed advisable by the Board. All such distributions are taxable to the shareholders whether received in cash or reinvested in shares.

 

66 SPIRIT OF AMERICA

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)   |   JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED)

 

The Real Estate Fund, Value Fund and Opportunity Fund have made certain investments in REITs which pay distributions to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. Each REIT reports annually the tax character of its distributions. It is quite common for these distributions to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such distributions being designated as a return of capital or long-term capital gain. The Funds intend to include the gross distributions from such REITs in its distributions to its shareholders; accordingly, a portion of the distributions paid to the Funds and subsequently distributed to shareholders may be re-characterized based on the prior calendar year’s actual reported return of capital. The final determination of the amount of each Fund’s return of capital distribution for the period will be made after the end of each calendar year.

 

G. Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Expenses incurred by the Company that do not relate to a specific fund of the Company are allocated to the individual funds by or under the direction of the Board in such a manner as the Board determine to be fair and equitable. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

 

Note 3 – Derivative Transactions

 

Written Options Contracts – The Real Estate Fund, Value Fund and Opportunity Fund may write options contracts for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. Investing in written options contracts exposes a Fund to equity price risk.

 

The Funds’ use of derivatives for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was limited to written options.

 

Following is a summary of how these derivatives are treated in the financial statements and their impact on the Funds. The month-end average notional amount for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $35,307 and $37,703 for Real Estate Fund and Value Fund, respectively. Following is a summary of how these derivatives are treated in the financial statements and their impact on the Funds. There were no derivatives outstanding as of June 30, 2021.

Note 5 – Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

 

Spirit of America Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) has been retained to act as the Company’s investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”).

A CDSC of 1.00% may be imposed on redemptions of $1 million or more of Class A shares that were purchased within one year of the redemption date where an indirect commission was paid. CDSC on Class C Shares applies to shares sold within 13 months of purchase. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, sales charges received by the Distributor from each of the Funds were as follows:

 

   Front-End Sales   CDSC Fees 
   Charges Received   Received by

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Funds were allocated $8,601 of the Chief Compliance Officer’s salary.

 

Note 6 – Concentration and Other Risks

 

The performance of the Municipal Fund, Income Fund and Opportunity Fund could be adversely affected by interest rate risk, which is the possibility that overall bond prices will decline because of rising interest rates. Interest rate risk is expected to be high for the Funds because they invest mainly in long-term bonds, whose prices are much more sensitive to interest fluctuations than are the prices of short-term bonds.

 

The Municipal Fund, Income Fund and Opportunity Fund may be affected by credit risk, which is the possibility that the issuer of a bond will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that bond to decline. This risk may be greater to the extent that the Funds may invest in junk bonds.

 

The Municipal Fund, Income Fund and Opportunity Fund may be affected by credit risk of lower grade securities, which is the possibility that taxable fixed income or municipal securities rated below investment grade, or unrated of similar quality, (frequently called “junk bonds”), may be subject to greater price fluctuations and risks of loss of income and principal than investment-grade taxable fixed income or municipal securities. Securities that are (or that have fallen) below investment-grade have a greater risk that the issuers may not meet their debt obligations. These types of securities are generally considered speculative in relation to the issuer’s ongoing ability to make principal and interest payments. During

 

  69

 

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.)   |   JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED)

 

periods of rising interest rates or economic downturn, the trading market for these securities may not be active and may reduce the Fund’s ability to sell these securities at an acceptable price. If the issuer of securities is in default in payment of interest or principal, the Fund may lose its entire investment in those securities.

 

The Real Estate Fund invests primarily in real estate related securities. A fund that concentrates its investments among fewer sectors is subject to greater risk of loss than a fund that has more sector diversification. Investments in real estate and real estate-related equity securities involve risks different from, and in certain cases greater than, the risks presented by equity securities generally. The main risks are those presented by direct ownership of real estate or real estate industry securities, including possible declines in the value of real estate, environmental problems and changes in interest rates.

 

To the extent that assets underlying the Fund’s investments are concentrated geographically, by property type or in certain other respects, the Fund may be subject to these risks to a greater extent. The stocks purchased by the Fund may not appreciate in value as the Adviser anticipates. In addition, if the Fund receives rental income or income from the disposition of real property acquired as a result of a default on securities the Fund owns, its ability to retain its tax status as a regulated investment company may be adversely affected.

 

The Value Fund may, at times, concentrate its investments in a particular sector, such as information technology, if the Adviser believes stocks in that particular sector are performing more favorably. If the Fund invests a significant portion of its total assets in certain sectors, its investment portfolio will be more susceptible to the financial, economic, business, and political developments that affect those sectors.

 

Other risks to the Funds may include income risk, liquidity risk, prepayment risk on collateralized mortgage obligations, municipal project specific risk, municipal lease obligation risk, zero coupon securities risk, market risk, manager risk, taxability risk, state-specific risk and exchange traded funds risk. The Funds’ prospectus contains more information regarding these risks and other risks related to the Funds as well as other information about the Funds, and should be read carefully before investing.

 

Note 7 – Restricted Securities

 

Securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid. The Funds will not incur any registration costs upon such resale. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined by the Board. At June 30, 2021, the Income Fund held illiquid restricted securities representing 2% of net assets, as listed below:

 

Issuer Description  Acquisition  Principal         
Corporate Bonds  Date  Amount   Cost   Value

Management of the Funds have reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)

 

The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, each Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of their portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources. The Board approved the appointment of an Administrator, who is responsible for the Program’s administration in conjunction with the Adviser’s Liquidity Risk Committee. The Administrator maintains Program oversight and reports to the Board on at least an annual basis regarding the Program’s operational effectiveness through a written report (the “Report”). The Report outlined the operation of the Program and the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program’s implementation and was presented to the Board for consideration at its meeting held on May 12, 2021. During the review period, the Funds did not experience unusual stress or disruption to its operations related to purchase and redemption activity. Also, during the review period the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. The Report concluded that (i) the Program was adequately designed and (ii) the Program has been effectively implemented.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)

FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD JANUARY 1, 2021 TO JUNE 30, 2021 (UNAUDITED)

 

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from the Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund.

 

Each Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the six month period, January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021.

 

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, the third column shows the period’s annualized expense ratio, and the last column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund at the beginning of the period. You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

 

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

 

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had a return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of 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 sales charges (loads), or redemption fees.

APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED)

 

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) requires that the continuance of a registered management investment company’s investment advisory agreement be approved annually by both the board of directors and also by a majority of its directors who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or “interested persons” (as defined by the 1940 Act) of any such party (the “Independent Directors”). At a meeting held on May 12, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board” or “Directors”) of Spirit of America Investment Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) met telephonically (the “Meeting”) to, among other things, consider the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) by and between Spirit of America Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) and the Company, on behalf of Spirit of America Municipal Tax Free Bond Fund (the “Municipal Fund”), Spirit of America Income Fund (the “Income Fund”), Spirit of America Real Estate Income and Growth Fund (the “Real Estate Fund”), Spirit of America Large Cap Value Fund (the “Value Fund”), and Spirit of America Income & Opportunity Fund (the “Opportunity Fund”) (each a “Fund”; collectively, the “Funds”). The Directors noted that the Meeting was held telephonically in accordance with relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to ease certain governance obligations in light of travel concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic and acknowledged that all actions that required a vote of the Directors at an in-person meeting, including the approval of the Advisory Agreement, would be ratified at the Board’s next in-person meeting, as required by the SEC’s relief. At the Meeting, after determining that the Adviser’s compensation continues to be fair and reasonable pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Board concluded that the approval of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of each Fund’s shareholders and the Board, including the Independent Directors voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement. The Board’s approval was based on consideration and evaluation of the information and materials provided to the Board and a variety of specific factors discussed at the Meeting and at prior meetings of the Board, including the factors described below.

 

As part of the approval process and oversight of the advisory relationship, counsel to the Independent Directors (“Independent Counsel”) sent a questionnaire to the Adviser seeking certain relevant information, and the Directors received for their review in advance of the Meeting, the Adviser’s responses. In addition, the Directors were provided with the opportunity to request additional information and materials. In advance of the Meeting, the Board including the Independent Directors, requested and received materials provided by the Adviser and Independent Counsel, including, among other things, the following: (i) Independent Counsel’s 15(c) questionnaire and the responses provided by the Adviser; (ii) comparative information on the investment performance of the Funds, relevant indices and Morningstar category peer funds in the form of reports generated by the Funds’ administrator; (iii) graphs of fee comparisons for the minimum fee, maximum fee, average fee and median fee in the form of reports generated by the Funds’ administrator; (iv) graphs of performance comparisons for the minimum performing fund, maximum performing fund, average performing fund and median performing fund for various time periods in the form of reports generated by the Funds’ administrator; (v) the allocation of the Funds’ brokerage commissions, (vi) the record of compliance with the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions and with the Funds’ Code of Ethics as well as the structure and responsibilities of the Adviser’s compliance department; (vii) the profitability of the Funds’ investment advisory business to the Adviser taking into account both advisory fees and any other potential direct or indirect benefits; (viii) the Adviser’s Form ADV; and (ix) a memorandum from Independent Counsel regarding the responsibilities of the Independent Directors related to the approval of the Advisory Agreement.

 

In evaluating the Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Directors, requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Adviser and questioned personnel of the Adviser, including the Funds’ portfolio managers, with respect to, among other things, personnel, each Fund’s performance, operations and the financial condition of the Adviser. Among other information, the Board, including the Independent Directors, requested and was provided information regarding:

 

The investment performance of each Fund over various time periods both by itself and in relation to relevant indices;

 

The fees charged by the Adviser for investment advisory services, as well as the compensation received by the Adviser and its affiliates;

 

The waiver of fees and reimbursements of expenses at various times by the Adviser with respect to certain Funds under the Operating Expenses Agreement;

 

The investment performance, fees and total expenses of mutual funds with similar objectives and strategies managed by other investment advisers;

 

76 SPIRIT OF AMERICA

 

 

APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED) (CONT.)

 

The investment management staffing and the experience of the Adviser, as well as the Adviser’s administrative and other personnel providing services to the Funds and the historical quality of the services provided by the Adviser; and

 

The profitability to the Adviser of managing and to its affiliate of distributing the Funds, and the methodology in allocating expenses to the management of the Funds.

 

At the Meeting, Independent Counsel also referred to the “Gartenberg Memorandum” which had been distributed to each Director in advance of the Meeting, outlining the legal standards applicable to the Independent Directors under the 1940 Act with respect to the approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement on behalf of each of the Funds. Independent Counsel explained that the Board must consider: (1) the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds; (2) the investment performance of each Fund independently; (3) the costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with each Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been realized as each Fund grows; (5) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of each Fund’s investors; and (6) any other relevant considerations that the Board deems appropriate.

 

The following is a summary of the Board’s discussion and views regarding the factors it considered in evaluating the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.

 

1. Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services.

 

The Board, including the Independent Directors, evaluated the nature, extent and quality of advisory, administrative and shareholder services provided by the Adviser, which encompassed the following: determination and execution of investment decisions for each Fund; regulatory filings and disclosure to the Funds’ shareholders, general oversight of the Funds’ service providers, coordination of Fund marketing initiatives, review of Fund legal issues and other services. The Board, including the Independent Directors, acknowledged the ever-increasing responsibilities of the Adviser in response to the increasing regulations of the mutual fund industry. The Board also noted that there was no significant disruption or impact to services provided to the Funds by the Adviser as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as the Adviser was able to operate effectively under its business continuity plan. The Board, including the Independent Directors, determined that the services provided to the Funds are extensive in nature, that the Adviser delivered a high level of service to each Fund and that the Adviser is positioned to continue providing such quality of service in the future.

 

2. Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser.

 

The Board, including the Independent Directors, reviewed the Funds’ short-term and long-term investment performance over various periods of time as compared to both relevant indices and the performance of such Funds’ peer groups. The Municipal Fund’s performance for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2021 was 2.98% as compared to the median of its peer group of 5.20%. The Income Fund’s performance for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2021 was 11.65% as compared to the median of its peer group of 11.64%. The Real Estate Fund’s performance for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2021 was 27.22% as compared to the median of its peer group of 35.70%. The Value Fund’s performance for the 1-year period was 53.37% as compared to the median of its peer group of 53.33%. The Opportunity Fund’s performance for the 1-year period ended March 31, 2021 was 21.92% as compared to the median of its peer group of 24.23%. The Board then determined that each Fund was delivering reasonable performance results, especially over the long-term, and that each Fund’s results were consistent with the investment strategies followed by each Fund.

 

3. Costs of Services and Profits Realized by the Adviser.

 

a. Fund Fees and Performance. The Board, including the Independent Directors, reviewed the information (as of March 31, 2021) provided by the Funds’ administrator, including the comparative graphs, regarding each Fund’s management fee and overall expense ratio relative to industry averages for each Fund’s peer group category and the advisory fees charged by the Adviser to other accounts. The Municipal Fund had a management fee of 0.60% as compared to the median in its peer group of 0.43%. The Income Fund had a management fee of 0.60% as compared to the median in its peer group of 0.60%. The Real Estate Fund had a management fee of 0.97% as compared to the median in its peer group of 0.80%. The Value Fund had a management fee of 0.97% as compared to the median in its peer group of 0.75%. The Opportunity Fund had a management fee of 0.65% as compared to the median in its peer group of 0.55%. The Board viewed favorably the current and historic willingness of the Adviser to limit the overall expense ratios of the Funds, as appropriate. Acknowledging that the fees paid by the Funds were higher than certain of the comparable funds and, except in the case of the Income Fund,

 

  77

 

 

APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED) (CONT.)

 

higher than the medians in the Funds’ peer groups, the Board nevertheless noted that the fees were still close enough to the medians in each case. The Board noted that, although higher than the fees of certain other funds in their respective groups, the fees were not unreasonable.

 

b. Profitability and Costs of Services to the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Directors, reviewed estimates of the Adviser’s profitability and costs attributable to the Funds through 2020. The Board noted that, in recent years, increased fixed costs and, in particular, legal and audit fees in response to increasing regulations, have had a greater impact on small fund families, such as the Funds, than on larger fund complexes, and overall expenses of the Funds may compare unfavorably to the overall expenses of some funds identified as peers. Additionally, the Board considered whether the amount of the Adviser’s profit is a fair profit for managing the Funds and observed that the Adviser has devoted a large amount of its resources to the Funds throughout the years. The Adviser’s management noted that the fund-by-fund expense analysis does not reflect all of the overhead costs paid by its affiliate, David Lerner & Associates, Inc. (“DLA”), which may be attributed to the Adviser. The Board, including the Independent Directors, then determined that the Adviser’s profitability was at a fair and acceptable level, especially given the quality of the services being provided to the Funds, and that it bore a reasonable relationship to the services rendered.

 

4. Extent of Economies of Scale as the Funds Grow.

 

The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered whether there had been economies of scale regarding the management of the Funds and whether the Funds would appropriately benefit from any economies of scale. However, due to the relatively small size of each Fund, the Board did not believe that significant (if any) economies of scale had been achieved at this time.

 

5. Whether Fee Levels Reflect Economies of Scale.

 

The Board, including the Independent Directors, discussed the fact that the Adviser does not at this time offer breakpoints in its fees that would otherwise allow investors to benefit directly from economies of scale in the form of lower fees as Fund assets grow. The Board observed, however, that the Adviser had provided enhancements in personnel and services to the Funds, without any fee increase. The Board stated that it would continue to review the concept of breakpoints in future years as the Funds’ assets grow.

 

6. Other Relevant Considerations.

 

a. Personnel and Methods. The Board, including the Independent Directors, reviewed the Adviser’s Form ADV, with the Adviser responding to the Board’s questions regarding the size, experience and education of the Adviser’s staff, its fundamental research capabilities, and its approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research and management personnel. The Board then concluded that such factors allow the Adviser to provide a high level of service to the Funds. In addition, the Board members considered the history, reputation, qualifications and background of the Adviser as well as the qualifications of the Adviser’s personnel.

 

b. Other Benefits. The Board, including the Independent Directors, then considered the character and amount of other direct and incidental benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates due to their association with the Funds, including the benefits received by DLA, the affiliated distributor. The Board concluded that potential “fall-out” benefits that the Adviser and its affiliates might receive, which might include greater name recognition or increased ability to obtain research services (although the Board noted that the Adviser currently does not use soft dollars for research services), seemed to be reasonable, and in some instances might benefit the Funds.

 

Conclusions. The Board, including the Independent Directors, considered the aforementioned factors and other factors collectively in light of the Funds’ surrounding circumstances and did not identify any factor as all-important or all-controlling. Each Independent Director gave the weight to each factor that he deemed appropriate in his own judgment. The Independent Directors considered the renewal of the Advisory Agreement on a Fund-by-Fund basis and determined that the renewal of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the shareholders of each Fund. The Independent Directors also determined that the fees charged to each Fund for the services provided were not unreasonable. Therefore, the Board, including the Independent Directors, determined that continuation of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
