James Advantage Funds Notes to Quarterly Schedule of Investments
  March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

James Advantage Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company that was organized as an Ohio business trust on August 29, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund, James Small Cap Fund, James Micro Cap Fund and James Aggressive Allocation Fund are each a diversified series of the Trust (individually a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”). Each class of James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments and has the same rights, but differs primarily in distribution fees and shareholder features. The Retail Class shares are subject to distribution (12b-1) fees but have a lower minimum investment requirement and offer certain shareholder services not available to Institutional Class shareholders. The Institutional Class shares are not subject to distribution (12b-1) fees and are available only through investment advisers and bank trust departments that have made arrangements for shares of all of their clients investing in the Fund to be held in an omnibus account (as well as other investors that are approved by management of the Trust).

 

James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund seeks to provide total return through a combination of growth and income and preservation of capital in declining markets. The James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in common stocks and/or debt securities that the Fund’s adviser, James Investment Research, Inc. (“James” or the “Adviser”), believes are undervalued.

 

James Small Cap Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The James Small Cap Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in common stocks of small capitalization companies. The Adviser defines small capitalization as those companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase no larger than the stocks in the James Small Cap Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index.

 

James Micro Cap Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The James Micro Cap Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in common stocks of micro capitalization companies. Micro capitalization companies are defined as those companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase no larger than the stocks in the Russell Microcap® Index, including exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest primarily in such securities.

 

James Aggressive Allocation Fund seeks to provide total return through a combination of growth and income. Preservation of capital in declining markets is a secondary objective. The James Aggressive Allocation Fund will generally run equity allocations of 60% or higher and, therefore, could be more volatile than a more conservative fund that holds a smaller percentage of its assets in stocks. Due to its aggressive nature, the James Aggressive Allocation Fund will generally have a turnover ratio much higher than the James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Funds are considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements.

 

Share Valuation

The net asset value per share of each Fund, other than the James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund, is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the Fund’s assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The net asset value per share of each class of shares of the James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund is calculated daily by dividing the total value of the Fund’s assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of outstanding shares of that class. The offering price and redemption price per share is equal to the net asset value per share, except that shares of the James Micro Cap Fund are subject to a redemption fee of 2% if redeemed within 180 days of purchase.

 

Securities Valuation

Securities are valued at fair value. The Funds' portfolio securities, including short positions, are valued as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the NYSE is open for business. Equity securities that are traded on any exchange, including closed-end funds and exchange-traded funds, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the exchange or market in which such securities are principally traded. Lacking a last sale price, a security is valued at its last bid price except when, in James’ opinion, the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value of the security. Securities that are traded on the NASDAQ® over-the-counter market are valued at their NASDAQ® Official Closing Price (“NOCP”) for all NASDAQ® National Market (“NNM”) and NASDAQ® Capital Market® securities. When market quotations are not readily available, if an event occurs after the close of the trading market (but before the time as of which a Fund calculates its net asset value) that materially affects a security’s value, when James determines that the market quotation does not accurately reflect the current value or when a non-144A restricted security is being valued, that security will be valued at its fair value as determined in good faith in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Corporate bonds, U.S. government agencies, U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, foreign, and municipal bonds are generally valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing services generally use market models that consider trade data, yields, spreads, quotations from dealers and active market makers, credit worthiness, market information of comparable securities, and other relevant security specific information. Asset backed/commercial mortgage backed securities are generally valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing service generally uses models that consider trade data, prepayment, and default projections, benchmark yield and spread data and estimated cash flows of each tranche of the issuer. If the Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities or when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, those securities will be priced at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser. Shares of open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

 

 

 

Notes to Quarterly Schedule of Investments James Advantage Funds
March 31, 2021 (Unaudited)  

 

For valuation purposes, quotations of foreign securities in a foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the time of pricing the Funds. The values of foreign portfolio securities are generally based upon market quotations which, depending upon the exchange or market, may be last sale price, last bid price or the average of the last bid and asked prices as of, in each case, the close of the appropriate exchange or another designated time.

 

In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, James is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. There is no single standard for determining fair value, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Adviser would appear to be the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings, (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers), or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 -Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 -Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; or
Level 3 -Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method, which liquidates all losses first, before any gains. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds will instruct its custodian to segregate assets in a separate account with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of March 31, 2021, the Funds did not hold when-issued securities or delayed delivery purchase commitments.

 

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, provided by WM Reuters, at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.

 

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized and between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the changes in the value of assets and liabilities including investments in securities at the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. The portion of realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed and is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments, when applicable.

 

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

Each Fund may invest in shares of ETFs. The ETFs in which a Fund invests will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the indices they track because the total return generated by the securities will be reduced by transaction costs incurred in adjusting the actual balance of the securities. In addition, the ETFs and other investment companies in which a Fund invests will incur expenses not incurred by their applicable indices. Certain securities comprising the indices tracked by the ETFs may, from time to time, temporarily be unavailable, which may further impede the ability of the ETFs to track their applicable indices. The market value of the ETF shares may differ from their net asset value. This difference in price may be due to the fact that the supply and demand in the market for ETF shares at any point in time is not always identical to the supply and demand in the market for the underlying basket of securities. Accordingly, there may be times when an ETF’s shares trade at a discount to its net asset value.

 

3. LINE OF CREDIT

Each Fund has a revolving line of credit agreement with U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”). Borrowings under these arrangements are secured by investments held in the Funds’ portfolios as notated on the Schedules of Investments and bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund, James Small Cap Fund and James Micro Cap Fund utilized their line of credit. The average amount of borrowings was $180,000 over 1 day with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.25% for the James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund. The average amount of borrowings was $196,000 over 2 days with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.25% for the James Small Cap Fund. The average amount of borrowings was $212,000 over 1 day with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.25% for the James Micro Cap Fund. During the nine months ended March 31, 2021, the James Aggressive Allocation Fund did not utilize the line of credit. Interest on funded and unfunded loans was $16 for the James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund, $35 for the James Small Cap Fund and $19 for the James Micro Cap Fund for the nine month period ended March 31, 2021. Each Fund’s line of credit agreement expired on July 8, 2020 and was renewed for one year. The terms of the agreements can be characterized as follows:

 

Fund Maximum Balance Available Interest Rate Expiration Date
James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund $ 35,000,000 Prime Rate* July 7, 2021
James Small Cap Fund $ 1,250,000 Prime Rate* July 7, 2021
