Seligman

 

140 Years of Investment Experience


 

J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated is a firm with a long tradition of investment expertise, offering a broad array of investment choices to help today’s investors seek their long-term financial goals.

 

 

 

Established in 1864, Seligman has a history of providing financial services marked not by fanfare, but rather by a quiet and firm adherence to financial prudence. While the world has changed dramatically in the 140 years since Seligman first opened its doors, the firm has continued to offer its clients high-quality investment solutions through changing times.

 

 

 

In the late 19th century, as the country grew, Seligman helped finance the westward expansion of the railroads, the construction of the Panama Canal, and the launching of urban transit systems. In the early 20th century, the firm helped fund the growing capital needs of new industries, including the nascent automobile and steel industries.

 

 

 

With the formation of Tri-Continental Corporation in 1929 — today, one of the nation’s largest diversified publicly-traded closed-end investment companies — Seligman began shifting its emphasis to investment management. In 1930, Seligman established what would be the first in an impressive lineup of mutual funds.

 

 

 

Seligman is proud of its distinctive past and of the traditional values that continue to shape the firm’s business decisions and investment judgment. While much has changed over the years, the firm’s commitment to providing prudent investment management that seeks to build wealth for clients over time is an enduring value that will continue to guide Seligman.

Interview With Your Portfolio Manager

Charles W. Kadlec


Q:

How did Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series, Inc. perform for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003?

 

 

A:

During this time, based on the net asset value of Class A shares, Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund delivered a total return of 39.22%, Seligman Time Horizon 20 Fund delivered 37.96%, Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund delivered 32.96%, and Seligman Harvester Fund delivered 21.44%.

 

 

Q:

What market conditions and events materially affected the Funds’ performances during the period?

 

 

A:

Equity markets around the world, after more than two years of declines, staged an impressive rally in 2003. US markets were driven higher by the fall of Iraq to coalition forces, better-than-expected economic growth, higher-than-expected corporate profits, extraordinary productivity gains, and continued low interest rates and low inflation.

 

 

 

Continued strong productivity gains indicate that the capital spending boom of the last half of the 1990s continues to pay dividends. Such gains reduce unit labor costs even as real income rises and increases profit margins. Even during the economic slowdown, productivity continued to advance on average more than 3% a year. And during this past year, productivity surged. That allowed companies to pay higher wages even as they reduced unit labor costs, increased profits, and held the line on price increases.

 

 

 

Investor willingness to take on additional risk within this improving economic environment was evidenced by the fact that smaller-company stocks were pursued to a greater degree than large-company stocks.

 

 

 

Mid-cap stocks outperformed large-caps, but underperformed small-caps. An increased tolerance for risk was also seen in the fixed-income market. The highest-quality bonds, such as US Treasury securities, delivered the weakest returns, while lower-quality high-yield bonds had an outstanding year.

 

 

 

Stimulative monetary policies throughout the world and the aggressively pro-growth fiscal policy in the US boosted economic activity around the world, and global equities posted strong returns. Global investors were more confident and risk-tolerant than they have been in years, and favored more cyclical and volatile investments. This was particularly evident in the strength of the emerging-markets rally that took place in 2003.

 

 

Q:

What investment strategies or techniques materially affected the Funds’ performances during the period?

 

 

A:

All the Funds’ underlying funds contributed positively to portfolio performance. Some, however, delivered outstanding returns.

 

 

 

All the Funds in the Series benefited from their significant exposure to the technology sector. Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund, however, had the greatest exposure, and so benefited the most, while Seligman Harvester Fund had the lowest exposure, and so benefited least from the impressive tech-market rally of 2003.

 

 

 

Seligman Time Horizon 30, 20, and 10 Funds all have somewhat heavy weightings in small- and mid-cap stocks and so benefited from the outsized performances delivered in these areas. However, even Seligman Harvester Fund, the Series’ most

conservative offering, provides some exposure to mid-cap stocks.

 

 

 

All the Funds benefited from their exposure to international stock markets, but Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund, with its relatively heavy exposure to global smaller companies and emerging markets, benefited to the greatest degree since these areas delivered particularly strong performances.

 

 

 

Fixed-income investments generally lagged equity investments in 2003. This equity-market outperformance benefited Seligman Time Horizon 30 and 20 Funds, which hold no fixed-income funds.

 

 

 

Most of Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund’s exposure to fixed income is through the Seligman High-Yield Bond Series, which delivered double-digit returns that approached the returns seen in the equity markets.

 

 

 

Seligman Harvester Fund has the same exposure to high-yield as Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund, but its fixed-income allocation is heavier overall. It is the only Fund in the Series to hold Seligman U.S. Government Securities Series, which delivered a weak, although positive, total return. It is important to note that Seligman U.S. Government Securities Series was the Series’ best-performing underlying fund in fiscal-year 2002, and Seligman Harvester Fund benefited from its exposure to this asset class last year.

Performance Overview

Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund

This chart compares a $10,000 hypothetical investment made in Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund Class A shares since the commencement of operations on January 10, 2000, through December 31, 2003, to $10,000 investments made in the Horizon 30 Composite Index and the S&P 500 for the same period. The results for Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund Class A shares were determined with and without the initial 4.75% maximum sales charge, and assume that all distributions within the period are invested in additional shares. The performances of Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund Class B, Class C, and Class D shares are not shown in this chart but are included in the table on page 7. This chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is not indicative of future investment results. It is important to keep in mind that the Horizon 30 Composite Index and the S&P 500 exclude the effects of taxes, fees and sales charges.

Performance Overview

Seligman Harvester Fund

This chart compares a $10,000 hypothetical investment made in Seligman Harvester Fund Class A shares since the commencement of operations on January 10, 2000, through December 31, 2003, to $10,000 investments made in the Harvester Composite Index and the S&P 500 for the same period. The results for Seligman Harvester Fund Class A shares were determined with and without the initial 4.75% maximum sales charge, and assume that all distributions within the period are invested in additional shares. The performances of Seligman Harvester Fund Class B, Class C, and Class D shares are not shown in this chart but are included in the table on page 13. This chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is not indicative of future investment results. It is important to keep in mind that the Harvester Composite Index and the S&P 500 exclude the effects of taxes, fees and sales charges.

Seligman Harvester Fund Chart

The performances of Class B, Class C, and Class D shares will differ from the performance shown for Class A shares, based on the differences in sales charges and fees paid by shareholders.

Performance Overview

The rates of return will vary and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data quoted does not reflect the deduction of taxes that an investor may pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is not indicative of future investment results.

J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated is currently waiving its investment management fee and reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses, other than distribution and service fees, that exceed 0.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets pursuant to a contractual undertaking. Absent such waivers and reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.


*

 

Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

**

 

Return figures reflect any change in price per share and assume the investment of dividend and capital gain distributions. Return figures for Class A shares are calculated with and without the effect of the initial 4.75% maximum sales charge. Returns for Class B shares are calculated with and without the effect of the maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), charged on redemptions made within one year of the date of purchase, declining to 1% in the sixth year and 0% thereafter. Returns for Class C shares are calculated with and without the effect of the initial 1% maximum sales charge and the 1% CDSC, charged on redemptions made within 18 months of the date of purchase. Returns for Class D shares are calculated with and without the effect of the 1% CDSC, charged on redemptions made within one year of the date of purchase.

***

 

The CDSC is 5% for periods of one year or less and 3% since inception.

 

Commencement of investment operations for Class A shares was 1/10/00. Class A share returns were computed from the commencement of investment operations. Class B, C, and D shares were offered to the public on 1/10/00, but were first issued at the dates indicated below. Total returns for Class B, C, and D shares of the Fund have been computed from the commencement of investment operations and incorporate the total return of Class A shares of the Fund from the commencement of investment operations through the initial issuance date of each of the other classes of shares, adjusted to reflect the higher expenses associated with the Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan for those classes that would have been incurred had they first been issued on the commencement of investment operations date. The total returns of Class B, C, and D shares from their individual initial issuance dates would be different, and may be lower, than those shown. See the Financial Highlights tables beginning on page 32 for total returns for each class of shares from their individual initial issuance dates.

Notes to Financial Statements

1.

Multiple Classes of Shares — Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series, Inc. (the “Series”) consists of four separate funds: Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund (“Time Horizon 30 Fund”), Seligman Time Horizon 20 Fund (“Time Horizon 20 Fund”), Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund (“Time Horizon 10 Fund”), and Seligman Harvester Fund (“Harvester Fund”). Each Fund invests in a combination of Class A shares of other Seligman mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”).

 

 

 

Each Fund of the Series offers four classes of shares — Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, and Class D shares. Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.75%. Class A shares purchased in an amount of $1,000,000 or more are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% on redemptions within 18 months of purchase.

 

 

 

Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% on an annual basis, and a CDSC, if applicable, of 5% on redemptions in the first year of purchase, declining to 1% in the sixth year and 0% thereafter. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on the last day of the month that precedes the eighth anniversary of their date of purchase.

 

 

 

Class C shares are sold primarily with an initial sales charge of up to 1% and a CDSC, if applicable, of 1% imposed on redemptions made within 18 months of purchase. Effective November 25, 2003, shares purchased through certain financial intermediaries may be bought without an initial sales charge and with a 1% CDSC on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. All Class C shares are subject to a distribution fee of up to 0.75% on an annual basis.

 

 

 

Class D shares are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a distribution fee of up to 0.75% on an annual basis, and a CDSC, if applicable, of 1% imposed on redemptions made within one year of purchase.

 

 

 

The four classes of shares for each Fund represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, have the same rights and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and certain other class-specific expenses, and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required.

 

 

2.

Significant Accounting Policies — The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Series:

 

 

 

a.

Security Valuation — Underlying Funds owned by a Fund are valued at their respective net asset values. US Government securities and short-term obligations, with more than 60 days remaining to maturity, are valued at current market values. Short-term holdings maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost.

 

 

 

 

b.

Federal Taxes — Each Fund in the Series has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company and intends to distribute substantially all taxable net income and net gain realized.

 

 

 

 

c.

Security Transactions and Related Investment Income — Investment transactions are recorded on trade dates. Identified cost of investments sold is used for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividends receivable and payable are recorded on ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

 

 

 

 

d.

Multiple Class Allocations — Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of that Fund based upon the relative value of the shares of each class. Class-specific expenses, which include


23

 




Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

distribution and service fees and any other items that are specifically attributed to a particular class, are charged directly to such class. For the year ended December 31, 2003, distribution and service fees were the only class-specific expenses.

 

 

 

 

e.

Distributions to Shareholders — The treatment for financial statement purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense, or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of any Fund of the Series.

 

 

 

3.

Purchases and Sales of Securities — Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (underlying funds), excluding short-term investments, for the year ended December 31, 2003, were as follows:

The tax basis cost was greater than the cost for financial reporting purposes primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales of $13,050, $291,606, and $431,516 for Time Horizon 20 Fund, Time Horizon 10 Fund, and Harvester Fund, respectively.

Management Fee, Distribution Services, and Other Transactions — J. & W. Seligman & Co.  Incorporated (the “Manager”) manages the affairs of the Series and provides the necessary personnel and facilities. Compensation of all officers of the Series, all directors of the Series who are employees of the Manager, and all personnel of the Series and the Manager is paid by the Manager. The Manager receives a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, equal to 0.10% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually undertaken to waive its fee and reimburse each Fund’s expenses, other than distribution and service fees, that exceed 0.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets through December 31, 2003 and that exceed 0.75% per annum of average daily net assets from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2010.

 

 

 

Seligman Advisors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), agent for the distribution of the Series’ shares and an affiliate of the Manager, received the following concessions for sales of Class A shares after commissions were paid to dealers for sales of Class A and Class C shares:

Each Fund of the Series has an Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to distribution of its shares. Under the Plan, with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D shares, service organizations can enter into agreements with the Distributor and receive a continuing fee (12b-1 fee) of up to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to the particular service organizations for providing personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. To avoid any duplication of the 12b-1 fee, the 12b-1 fees to be paid by each class of a Fund will be reduced by the dollar amount of any 12b-1 fees paid by the Underlying Funds with respect to shares owned by the Fund.

 

 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003, 12b-1 fees incurred by the Time Horizon 30 Fund, Time Horizon 20 Fund, Time Horizon 10 Fund, and the Harvester Fund (net of 12b-1 fees paid by underlying funds), aggregated $130, $160, $190, and $129, respectively, or 0.01% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class A shares.

 

 

 

With respect to Class C and Class D shares, service organizations may receive up to 0.75% per annum of the average daily net assets for providing other distribution assistance. Such fees are paid monthly by the Funds to the Distributor pursuant to the Plan.

 

 

 

With respect to Class B shares, a distribution fee of 0.75% per annum of the average daily net assets is payable monthly by the Funds to the Distributor; however, the Distributor has sold its rights to this fee to third parties (the “Purchasers”), which provide funding to the Distributor to enable it to pay commissions to dealers at the time of the sale of the related Class B shares.

 

 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003, the 12b-1 fees incurred under the Plan (net of 12b-1 fees paid by Underlying Funds), and their equivalent per annum percentage of the average daily net assets of Class B, Class C, and Class D shares, were as follows:

The Distributor is entitled to retain any CDSC imposed on certain redemptions of Class A, Class C and Class D shares. For the year ended December 31, 2003, such charges amounted to $603 for Time Horizon 30 Fund, $1,344 for Time Horizon 20 Fund, $2,531 for Time Horizon 10 Fund and $6,362 for Harvester Fund.

 

 

 

The Distributor has sold its rights to the Purchasers to collect any CDSC imposed on redemptions of Class B shares. In connection with the sale of its rights to collect any CDSC and the distribution fees with respect to Class B shares described above, the Distributor receives payments from the Purchasers based on the value of Class B shares sold. The aggregate of such payments retained by the Distributor for the year ended December 31, 2003, were as follows:

Other Matters — The Manager has been conducting an extensive internal review in response to recent developments regarding disruptive or illegal trading practices within the mutual fund industry. The Manager’s review noted one market timing relationship that was in the process of being closed down by the Manager before the first proceedings relating to trading practices within the mutual fund industry were publicly announced in September 2003. Additionally, the Manager identified three other market timing arrangements, all of which had been terminated, the most recent in September 2002. The Manager is confident that any financial impact of these arrangements on any Seligman Fund was minimal. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Attorney General of the State of New York also are reviewing these matters.

 

 

 

In connection with the Manager’s internal review, the Manager has also reviewed its practice of placing some of the Seligman Equity Funds’ orders to buy and sell portfolio securities with brokerage firms in recognition of their sales of Seligman Funds. This is a common practice and permissible when done properly. Although the Manager believes that the execution of all such orders was consistent with its best execution obligations, the Manager may have violated applicable requirements for certain of such orders as a result of compensation arrangements that the Distributor had with certain brokerage firms. The Manager is con-fident that the Seligman Equity Funds did not pay higher brokerage commissions than they would otherwise have paid for comparable transactions. The Manager is also responding to information requests from the SEC relating to the Manager’s use of revenue sharing and fund portfolio brokerage commissions.

 

 

 

The Independent Directors of the Board of the Series have been reviewing, and will continue to review, the foregoing matters. If the Series has incurred financial harm as a result of violations of law or internal policies by the Manager or its personnel, the Manager will make restitution to the Series.

 

 

7.

Capital Stock Share Transactions — The Board of Directors, at its discretion, may classify any unissued shares of Capital Stock among any Fund of the Series.

Financial Highlights

The tables below are intended to help you understand the financial performance of each Class of each Fund from its inception. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a Class that was held throughout the periods shown. Per share amounts are calculated using average shares outstanding. “Total return” shows the rate that you would have earned (or lost) on an investment in each Class, assuming you reinvested all your dividends and capital gain distributions. Total returns do not reflect any taxes or sales charges and are not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Financial Highlights


 

*   

Commencement of investment operations.

**   

The Manager, at its discretion, reimbursed certain expenses and waived management fees for the periods presented.

†   

In computing the ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets, income and expenses other than organization expenses are annualized. Organization expenses are not annualized because they were a one-time expense incurred at the Series’ commencement of investment operations.

††   

Commencement of issuance of shares.

ø   

For the period 1/10/00 to 12/31/00.

øø   

The total returns shown for each Class of shares from commencement of investment operations/issuance of shares to 12/31/00, are calculated from the later of the respective Fund’s commencement of investment operations date (1/10/00) or the initial issuance date of shares of the Class. The total returns for Class A shares were calculated from the commencement of investment operations date. Class B, C, and D shares of the Fund were offered to the public on the commencement of investment operations date, but were first issued on the respective dates shown in the table. If shares of each Class had been issued on the commencement of investment operations date, the total returns for each Class would have been as follows:

These total returns have been computed from the commencement of investment operations date and incorporate the total return of Class A shares of the Fund from the commencement of investment operations date through the initial issuance dates of each of the other classes of shares, adjusted to reflect the higher expenses associated with the Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan for those classes that would have been incurred had they first been issued on the commencement of investment operations date.

Glossary of Financial Terms

Capital Gain Distribution — A payment to mutual fund shareholders of profits realized on the sale of securities in a fund’s portfolio.

Capital Appreciation/Depreciation — An increase or decrease in the market value of a mutual fund’s portfolio securities, which is reflected in the net asset value of the fund’s shares. Capital appreciation/depreciation of an individual security is in relation to the original purchase price.

Compounding — The change in the value of an investment as shareholders receive earnings on their investment’s earnings. For example, if $1,000 is invested at a fixed rate of 7% a year, the initial investment is worth $1,070 after one year. If the return is compounded, second year earnings will not be based on the original $1,000, but on the $1,070, which includes the first year’s earnings.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) — Depending on the class of shares owned, a fee charged by a mutual fund when shares are sold back to the fund. The CDSC expires after a fixed time period.

Dividend — A payment by a mutual fund, usually derived from the fund’s net investment income (dividends and interest less expenses).

Dividend Yield — A measurement of a fund’s dividend as a percentage of the maximum offering price or net asset value.

Expense Ratio — The cost of doing business for a mutual fund, expressed as a percent of the fund’s net assets.

Investment Objective — The shared investment goal of a fund and its shareholders.

Management Fee — The amount paid by a mutual fund to its investment advisor(s).

Multiple Classes of Shares — Although an individual mutual fund invests in only one portfolio of securities, it may offer investors several purchase options which are “classes” of shares. Multiple classes permit shareholders to choose the fee structure that best meets their needs and goals. Generally, each class will differ in terms of how and when sales charges and certain fees are assessed.

National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) — A self-regulatory body with authority over firms that distribute mutual funds.

Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share — The market worth of one fund share, obtained by adding a mutual fund’s total assets (securities, cash, and any accrued earnings), subtracting liabilities, and dividing the resulting net assets by the number of shares outstanding.

Offering Price — The price at which a mutual fund’s share can be purchased. The offering price per share is the current net asset value plus any sales charge.

Glossary of Financial Terms

Portfolio Turnover — A measure of the trading activity in a mutual fund’s investment portfolio that reflects how often securities are bought and sold.

Prospectus — The legal document describing a mutual fund to all prospective shareholders. It contains information required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), such as a fund’s investment objective and policies, services, investment restrictions, how shares are bought and sold, fund fees and other charges, and the fund’s finan-cial highlights.

SEC Yield — SEC Yield refers to the net income earned by a fund during a recent 30-day period. This income is annualized and then divided by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the 30-day period. The SEC Yield formula reflects semi-annual compounding.

Securities and Exchange Commission —The primary US federal agency that regulates the registration and distribution of mutual fund shares.

Statement of Additional Information — A document that contains more detailed information about an investment company and that supplements the prospectus. It is available at no charge upon request.

Total Return — A measure of a fund’s performance encompassing all elements of return. Reflects the change in share price over a given period and assumes all distributions are taken in additional fund shares. The Average Annual Total Return represents the average annual compounded rate of return for the periods presented.

Wash Sale — A sale of securities in which a taxpayer has acquired substantially identical securities within a period beginning thirty days before and ending thirty days after the date of the sale (a sixty-one day period). A loss resulting from such a sale is not currently deductible for federal income tax purposes, but a gain is taxable.

Yield on Securities — For bonds, the current yield is the coupon rate of interest, divided by the purchase price. For stocks, the yield is measured by dividing dividends paid by the market price of the stock.
