GIANT 5 FUNDS
NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS
JUNE 30, 2009
(unaudited)


1. ORGANIZATION

Giant 5 Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a trust under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 9, 2005. The Trust is an open-ended investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. The trust currently offers shares of two series, each of which has different and distinct investment objectives and policies: the Giant 5 Total Investment System and the Giant 5 Total Index System (individually a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”).

The investment objective for each Fund is to seek total return. To pursue its investment objective, the Giant 5 Total Investment System will make investments primarily in other mutual funds that are not affiliated with the Fund. To pursue its investment objective, the Giant 5 Total Index System will primarily invest in unaffiliated index funds and exchange traded funds.

Each Fund is non-diversified, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, and each Fund is a “fund of funds,” which means that each Fund invests in other mutual funds and exchange traded funds (“Underlying Funds”).

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by Trust in the preparation of its schedules of portfolio investments. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of schedules of portfolio investments in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts at the date of the schedules of portfolio investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION

The value of assets in a Fund’s portfolio is determined on the basis of their market value, or where market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable due to a significant event or otherwise, based on fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with the procedures established by, and under the general supervision of, the Funds’ Board of Trustees.  The Funds may invest in securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Funds do not price their shares. The value of portfolio securities held by the Funds may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem shares.
 
 
 
 

 

 
As noted above each Fund is a fund of funds, primarily invested in Underlying Funds that have their own internal fair pricing and valuation procedures. Due to this structure, the Underlying Funds policies will be used in the daily calculation of their net asset value per share (“NAV”), which will, in turn, be used in calculating the Funds’ NAVs. If for any reason, an Underlying Fund does not provide its NAV to the Fund in timely fashion for the Fund’s NAV calculation, the last available NAV for that Underlying Fund will be used for valuation purposes.

A Fund will fair value price its securities when market quotations are not readily available. Generally, this would include securities for which trading has been halted, securities whose value has been materially affected by the occurrence of a significant event (as defined below), securities whose price has become stale (i.e., the market price has remained unchanged for five business days), and other securities where a market price is not available from either a national pricing service or broker. In addition, the Pricing Committee will review exception priced securities (i.e., securities for which the market value is provided by a quote from a single broker rather than a national pricing service) on a quarterly basis. In these situations, the Pricing committee will employ certain Board-approved methodologies to determine a fair value for the securities. Fair valuations will be reviewed by the Board of Trustees on a quarterly basis. Fair value pricing should result in a more accurate determination of a Fund’s net asset value price, which should eliminate the potential for stale pricing arbitrage opportunities in a Fund. However, fair value pricing involves the risk that the values used by a Fund to price its investments may be different from those used by other investment companies and investors to price the same investments.

A “significant event” is one that occurred prior to a Fund’s valuation time, is not reflected in the most recent market price of a security, and materially affects the value of a security. Generally, such “significant events” relate to developments in foreign securities that occur after the close of trading in their respective markets. The Fund’s accounting agent may obtain fair value prices of foreign securities through utilization of a Fair Value Pricing Service previously approved by the Board where a movement in the U.S. equities market is sufficiently large to constitute a trigger established by the Pricing Committee.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

At June 30, 2009, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes for the Giant 5 Total Investment System and Giant 5 Total Index System were as follows:

Net unrealized depreciation
               
   on investments
  $ (2,575,155 )   $ (4,926,724 )

The difference between cost amounts, if any, for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.

INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date plus one basis, except for on the last day of the fiscal quarter end, when they are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Securities gains and losses are calculated based on the costs of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of accretion of premium or discount.
 
 
 
 

 
 

Footnote Disclosure

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
§  
Level 1 – quoted prices for active markets for identical securities.  An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.  A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.
 
§  
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active.  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.  An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement.
 
§  
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of June 30, 2009:
