Dear Fellow Shareholders:
 
We are pleased to present the Kinetics Mutual Funds’ (“Funds”) Semi-Annual Report for the six-month period ended June 30, 2010. On balance, the Kinetics Family of Mutual Funds did not meet our expectations for the first half of 2010, with returns of (8.03)% for the Paradigm Fund,(7.80)% for the Tactical Paradigm Fund, (7.39)% for the Small Cap Opportunities Fund, (8.76)% for the Market Opportunities Fund, (4.33)% for the Internet Fund, (6.76)% for the Medical Fund, (14.45)% for the Water Infrastructure Fund, (7.14)% for the Global Fund, and 0.09% for the Multi-Disciplinary Fund. This compares with first-half 2010 returns of (6.65)% and (7.05)% for the S&P 500 Index(1) and the NASDAQ Composite Index(2), respectively.
 
The Funds continue to be managed by focusing upon strong businesses at attractive valuations. Companies within the Funds’ portfolios have nearly universally met or exceeded our expectations, but the market has gyrated wildly in response to a seemingly endless array of proposed impending crises. A critical aspect to our investment process includes analyzing a company’s ability to function in a myriad of business environments. In this regard, we were not surprised that most holdings in the Funds have approached or exceeded earnings figures from 2007. Despite this, many of the companies in the Funds continue to trade well below the valuations seen in 2007. It is our belief that over the fullness of time, fundamentals will drive stock prices, and we remain exceptionally optimistic about our positioning.
 
Shareholders can continue to access additional information from our website, www.kineticsfunds.com. This website provides a broad array of information, including recent portfolio holdings, quarterly investment commentaries, conference call transcripts, newsflashes, recent performance data, and online access to account information.
 
Kinetics offers the following funds to investors:
 
The Paradigm Fund focuses on companies that are valued attractively and have had sustainable high business returns. This has been a very successful strategy for the Fund over the past 10 years. The Paradigm Fund is Kinetics’ flagship fund.
 
The Tactical Paradigm Fund invests generally all of its assets in the Paradigm Portfolio while also hedging market risk with futures, options and short sales of exchange traded funds. The Fund may also

purchase or write options in combination with each other to adjust market risk and return of its overall investment positions.
 
The Small Cap Opportunities Fund focuses on undervalued and special situation small capitalization equities that have the potential for rewarding long-term investment results. The same investment fundamentals employed by the Paradigm Fund are used to identify such opportunities.
 
The Medical Fund is a sector fund, offering an investment in scientific discovery within the promising field of medical research, particularly in the development of cancer treatments and therapies. As a sector fund, the Medical Fund is likely to have heightened volatility.
 
The Internet Fund is a sector fund that focuses on companies engaged in the evolution of Internet-related developments. As such, this Fund has been, and is likely to continue to be, quite volatile. In some cases, we view a segment of this Fund’s holdings as publicly traded venture capital and are quite aware that many of these investments will not fulfill their promise. However, we expect that, over time, some small percentage will develop into excellent investments, allowing the Fund to produce overall attractive, albeit, lumpy returns.
 
The Global Fund’s mandate was changed in early April 2008 to an emphasis on international investments, with particular attention to China and other Asian markets. The Fund employs the same investment criteria as the Paradigm Fund, but with an international focus.
 
The Market Opportunities Fund focuses on those companies that benefit from increasing transactional volume or throughput, such as publicly-traded exchanges and credit card processors, or companies that act as facilitators, such as gaming companies, airports and publicly-traded toll roads.
 
The Water Infrastructure Fund is a sector fund that invests in global companies engaged in water infrastructure and water-specific natural resources, as well as related activities.
 
The Multi-Disciplinary Fund uses a unique two-part strategy of fixed income and derivative components. The Fund generally invests in U.S. corporate bonds and simultaneously sells at-the-money put options on equities. This strategy aims to achieve equity-like returns, with bond-like volatility. At times the Fund may purchase equity positions in addition to the core option/bond portfolio.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
 
If we were penning this commentary at the end of June, instead of mid-August, we could have easily been writing about what impact the Greek crisis and the potential demise of the Euro were having on global equity prices during the first six-months of 2010. If we felt expansive, the unflattering acronym PIIGS, standing for the all of the perceived financially troubled European nations (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain) could have been mentioned. This would have demonstrated that we had an International/Global outlook and were aware of such pressing issues. Back in June these issues dominated the business press, and the European crisis, as explained by most pundits, was expected to have dire consequences for the world economy. Today, the European crisis appears to be but a small footnote in history. Pundits and market participants have now moved on to the next potential concern: deflation. It should be noted that the Euro, despite its previously predicted imminent collapse, has rallied substantially over the last 45 days, as have most global equity markets, notwithstanding the last few days prior to this writing.
 
All of the perceived financial troubles, and there have been many over the last two years, along with the anchoring effect of the financial crisis of 2008-2009, have caused a massive flight to less risky assets. As of August 12, 2010, the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note has a pre-tax yield of 2.72%. If you are in a 35% federal tax bracket, then your after-tax yield is just 1.77% with this investment. Such a low yield is reflective of its perceived safety. One had better be very certain that there will be, at a minimum, an absence of inflation when buying at such a low yield. Should the 10-year Treasury Note yield quickly move back to 4%, low by historical standards, one would experience an approximate 12% decline in the price of one’s investment. Should the 10-year Note similarly move back to a 6% yield, which is still below the 10-year Treasury’s long-term average yield, one would experience an approximate 25% decline in one’s investment. Ten years of 3% inflation per annum erodes approximately 35% of one’s original principal amount.
 
In our opinion, the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note’s pre-tax yield is the functional equivalent of buying a stock at a price-earnings multiple of 36 times (100/2.72). Such a valuation multiple brings to mind the


5

Investment Commentary — (Continued)
 
prices that investors were paying for established technology/Internet stocks near their peak in late 1999 and early 2000. At that time, however, excessive optimism caused the high valuations, whereas today, we believe it is excessive pessimism that is driving the pricing of U.S. Treasuries. While we are aware of the major differences between stocks and U.S. Treasury Notes (one of which is that investors are guaranteed the face amount at maturity), investors’ expectations for the future must be excessively bleak, given that there are attractive alternative investment opportunities that offer a much higher initial yield. Since the U.S. Treasury market is multi-trillion in size, the low yields, as a function of supply and demand, are the result of substantial institutions buying the securities rather than individuals who are concerned about their retirement nest eggs. While we offer no prediction as to the direction of the price of U.S. Treasury Notes, we know too well what can happen when everyone gets into an investment: they all eventually flee. We believe our funds offer a better investment alternative.
 
For example, the Kinetics Medical Fund owns a position in Bristol-Myers Squibb. This is a world class pharmaceutical company, tracing its history back to 1887, and trades at a price-earnings multiple of 11.3 times next year’s estimated earnings of $2.33. The initial earnings yield, on its 2011 earnings estimate, is 8.9% (1/11.2 = 8.89%). It should also be noted that Bristol’s current dividend yield is 4.80%. Compare both of these yields to the yield of 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes, set forth above. We could have told you a similar story about NYSE-Euronext, which traces its domestic history back to 1792, and is held in both the Kinetics Paradigm Fund and the Kinetics Market Opportunities Fund. There are many more companies in each of our funds that have similar stories. Given everything that we know about valuations, interest rates and expected returns, equities currently look very compelling relative to other asset classes. Ironically, in our opinion, the massive investor flight to safety has caused the risky asset class, stocks, to become a far safer harbor for one’s wealth. The global equity markets trade on the release of generally non-meaningful news which investors tend to forget almost immediately. Longer term investment success will be predicated upon the valuation and quality of the underlying assets.

Furthermore, please be aware that our Kinetics Multi-Disciplinary Fund uses a unique options strategy on names we would be comfortable holding to capture the high premiums others are willing to pay in order to have protection. This fund was started in 2008, a very inauspicious year in which to start a mutual fund, and we believe it has performed quite commendably. Because of its income return characteristics and short-term gains, this fund is particularly well-suited for tax-advantaged accounts. It will also likely perform admirably if volatility remains high while the equity market remains fairly flat, which is what has happened thus far in 2010.
 
We appreciate your confidence and believe you will be appropriately rewarded as we live through what could be a continued volatile ride.

Disclosure
This material is intended to be reviewed in conjunction with a current prospectus, which includes all fees and expenses that apply to a continued investment program, as well as information regarding the risk factors, policies and objectives of the Funds. Read it carefully before investing.
 
Mutual Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Because The Internet Fund, The Medical Fund and The Water Infrastructure Fund invest in a single industry, their shares are subject to a higher degree of risk than funds with a higher level of diversification. Internet and biotechnology stocks are subject to a rate of change in technology, obsolescence and competition that is generally higher than that of other industries and have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. International investing [for The Global Fund, The Water Infrastructure Fund, The Paradigm Fund, The Market Opportunities Fund, The Small Cap Opportunities Fund, The Internet Fund and The Tactical Paradigm Fund] presents special risks including currency exchange fluctuation, government regulations, and the potential for political and economic instability. Accordingly, the share price for these Funds is expected to be more volatile than that of a U.S.-only fund. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
 
Because smaller companies [for The Global Fund, The Small Cap Opportunities Fund and The Water Infrastructure Fund] often have narrower markets and limited financial resources, they present more risk than larger, more well established, companies.
 
Non-investment grade debt securities [for all Funds], i.e., junk bonds, are subject to greater credit risk, price volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities. Further, options contain special risks including the imperfect correlation between the value of the option and the value of the underlying asset. Investments [for all Funds] in futures, swaps and other derivative instruments may result in loss as derivative instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses to the Fund. To the extent the Funds segregate assets to cover derivative positions, they may impair their ability to meet current obligations, to honor requests for redemption and to manage the Funds in a manner consistent with their respective investment objectives. Purchasing and writing put and call options and, in particular, writing

“uncovered” options are highly specialized activities that entail greater than ordinary investment risk.
 
As non-diversified [other than The Kinetics Government Money Market Fund] Funds, the value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than shares invested in a broader range of industries and companies.
 
An investment in the Kinetics Government Money Market Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
 
Unlike other investment companies that directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, The Kinetics Mutual Funds pursue their investment objectives by investing all or generally all of their investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series of Kinetics Portfolios Trust.
 
The information concerning the Funds included in the shareholder report contains certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.

Expense Example
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
 
Shareholders incur two type of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvestments of dividends or other distributions made by a Fund, redemption fees, and exchange 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 investors understand the 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 on January 1, 2010 and held for the entire period from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010.
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line and second line items of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses before and after expense reimbursement. Unlike other mutual funds that directly acquire and manage their own portfolio securities, each Fund invests all or generally all of its investable assets in a corresponding series of The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (each, a “Master Portfolio”, and together the “Master Portfolios”), a separately registered investment company. The Master Portfolio, in turn, invests in securities. With this type of organization, expenses can accrue specifically to the Master Portfolio or the Fund or both. The Adviser for the Master Portfolios has directed a certain amount of the Master Portfolio’s trades to brokers believed to provide the best execution and, as a result, the Master Portfolios have generated direct brokerage credits to reduce certain service provider fees. Each Fund records its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio’s expenses, including directed brokerage credits, on a daily basis. Any expense reductions include Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.
 
The Funds will charge shareholder fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and exchanges executed by telephone between the Fund and any other series of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. The Funds’ transfer agent charges a $5.00 transaction fee to shareholder accounts for telephone exchanges between any two series of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. The Funds’ transfer agent does not charge a transaction fee for written exchange requests. IRA accounts are assessed a $15.00 annual fee. Finally, as a disincentive to market-timing transactions, the Funds will assess a 2.00% fee on the redemption or exchange of Fund shares held for less than 30 days. These fees will be paid to the Funds to help offset transaction costs. The Funds reserve the right to waive the redemption fee, subject to their sole discretion, in instances deemed not to be disadvantageous to the Funds or shareholders as described in the Funds’ prospectus.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FUNDS
Expense Example — (Continued)
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
You may use the information provided in the first line, together with the amounts 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.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The third and fourth line items of the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses before and after expense reimbursements based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio 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 one 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 one’s ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help one determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In if these transactional costs were included, one’s costs would have been higher.

The series of the Company presently authorized are The Internet Fund (“Internet”), The Global Fund (“Global”), The Paradigm Fund (“Paradigm”), The Medical Fund (“Medical”), The Small Cap Opportunities Fund (“Small Cap”), The Kinetics Government Money Market Fund (“Government”), The Market Opportunities Fund (“Market Opportunities”), The Water Infrastructure Fund (“Water Infrastructure”), The Multi-Disciplinary Fund (“Multi-Disciplinary”) and The Tactical Paradigm Fund (“Tactical Paradigm”) (each, a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). Investment operations of the Company began on October 21, 1996 (Internet), September 30, 1999 (Medical), December 31, 1999 (Global and Paradigm), February 3, 2000 (Government), March 20, 2000 (Small Cap), January 31, 2006 (Market Opportunities), June 29, 2007 (Water Infrastructure), February 11, 2008 (Multi-Disciplinary) and December 31, 2009 (Tactical Paradigm).
 
Each series (other than Tactical Paradigm), unlike many other investment companies which directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series (each a “Master Portfolio” and collectively the “Master Portfolios”) of Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”). Each series in the Company (other than Tactical Paradigm) (each, a “Feeder Fund”, and together, the “Feeder Funds”) has entered into a master-feeder fund structure. By entering into this structure, each Feeder Fund invests all of its assets in a corresponding Master Portfolio with the same investment objective as the Feeder Fund. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds. Each Feeder Fund receives a proportionate amount of interest in the Master Portfolio equal to its relative contribution of capital. Thus, each Feeder Fund is allocated its portion of income, gains (losses) and expenses from the Master Portfolio.

Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the Rule 12b-1 fees paid by the Advisor Class A and Advisor Class C shares, the sales charge on the Advisor Class A shares, the service fees paid by the Advisor Class A, Advisor Class C, No Load Class and Institutional Class shares, voting rights on matters pertaining to a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Shares of each Fund, except Government, will assess a 2.00% redemption fee (with exceptions) on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class based on its relative net assets.
 
Tactical Paradigm seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. Refer to the Master Portfolio’s financial statements to obtain information about the investment objective of the corresponding Feeder Fund. The financial statements of the Master Portfolios, including the portfolios of investments are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Feeder Funds’ financial statements.
 
2.   Significant Accounting Policies
 
Security Valuation
Master Portfolio securities (other than securities held by the Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio) and securities held directly by Tactical Paradigm that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Foreign securities are valued by an independent pricing service. In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Purchased non-exchange traded options, futures, unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Exchange traded options and futures are valued at the last reported sale price on an exchange on which the option or future is traded. If no sales are reported on a particular day, the mean between the highest bid and the lowest asked quotations at the close of the exchanges will be used. Fixed-income securities (other than obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less) are


52


 

 
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from pricing services, which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data.
 
Investment securities in The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio and instruments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) are valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolios. At June 30, 2010, 0.01%, 0.00%, 0.01%, 0.00% and 0.00% of the net assets of the Internet Portfolio, Paradigm Portfolio, Medical Portfolio, Small Cap Portfolio and Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities.
 
Repurchase Agreements
Each Master Portfolio and Tactical Paradigm may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust and the Company’s policy that the Master Portfolio and Tactical Paradigm receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 100% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio/Tactical Paradigm in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio/Tactical Paradigm Fund may be delayed or limited.
 
Written Option Accounting
The Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio or Tactical Paradigm writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio or Tactical Paradigm is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio or Tactical Paradigm may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Master Portfolio or Tactical Paradigm enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio or Tactical Paradigm realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss


53


 

 
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio or Tactical Paradigm realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the Master Portfolio and Tactical Paradigm are required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for put options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.
 
Futures Contracts
Each Portfolio and the Tactical Paradigm Fund, except the Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, may buy and sell stock index futures contracts traded on domestic stock exchanges to hedge the value of its portfolio against changes in market conditions. A stock index futures contract is an agreement between two parties to take or make delivery of an amount of cash equal to a specified dollar amount, times the difference between the stock index value at the close of the last trading day of the contract and the price at which the futures contract is originally struck. At the time a Portfolio purchases or sells a stock index futures contract, it must make a good faith deposit known as the “initial margin”. Thereafter, a Portfolio may need to make subsequent deposits, known as “variation margin”, to reflect changes in the level of the stock index which are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses.
 
Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency


54


 

 
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.
 
Restricted and Illiquid Securities
The Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm Fund after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. At June 30, 2010 none of the Master Portfolios or Tactical Paradigm held restricted securities. An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the Master Portfolio has valued the investment. At June 30, 2010, Tactical Paradigm held no illiquid securities. At June 30, 2010, the following Master Portfolios held illiquid securities:
 
                 
    Market
  Percentage of
    Value   Net Assets
 
The Internet Portfolio
  $ 4,903       0.01 %
The Paradigm Portfolio
    0       0.00  
The Medical Portfolio
    2,627       0.01  
The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio
    0       0.00  
The Market Opportunities Portfolio
    0       0.00  
 
When-Issued Securities
The Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities. The Master Portfolios and Tactical Paradigm maintain at all times cash or other liquid assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for when-issued securities.
 
Securities Lending
Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker-dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 331/3% of the total assets of each Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-


55


 

 
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.
 
Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by Funds are allocated among the Funds (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Funds, depending on the nature of the expenditure.
 
Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the corresponding Master Portfolio’s expenses on a daily basis. Tactical Paradigm also records its proportionate share of the Paradigm Portfolio’s expenses on a daily basis. In addition, each Fund accrues its own separate expenses. Any cap on expenses includes Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from a Master Portfolio.
 
Federal Income Taxes
Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
It is the Funds’ policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Funds intend to distribute investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded. Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expenses and gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. Additionally, the Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between capital accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.
 
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of December 31, 2009, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2006 through 2009. The Funds are also 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.

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 in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Other
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Company’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
 
3.  Investment Adviser
 
The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Kinetics Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and directors of the Company are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to Tactical Paradigm. The Trust has entered into investment advisory agreements (the “Agreements”) with the Adviser, with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Master Portfolios. For its advisory services, the Adviser is entitled to receive 0.65% of Tactical Paradigm’s average daily net assets, 0.50% of the Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio’s average daily net assets and 1.25% of each other Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
 
The former sub-adviser to the Water Infrastructure Portfolio, Brennan Investment Partners, LLC, received its compensation from the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Water Infrastructure Portfolio. On July 16, 2010, Brennan Investment Partners, LLC ceased serving as sub-adviser for Water Infrastructure. The sub-adviser to Tactical Paradigm is Broadmark Asset Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), which receives compensation from the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.65% of the average daily net assets of Tactical Paradigm pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, Tactical Paradigm incurred expenses of $3,420 pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.
 
The Adviser has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses as deemed appropriate. The Adviser may

Class, the Adviser receives a shareholder servicing fee pursuant to a shareholder servicing agreement in the amount equal to 0.20% of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Institutional Class shares. At this time, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse the portion of the Institutional Class shareholder servicing fee in excess of 0.05% of a Feeder Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Institutional Class shares until at least May 1, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Adviser waived amounts depicted in the above table in shareholder servicing fees for the Institutional Class of Paradigm, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Water Infrastructure, Multi-Disciplinary and Tactical Paradigm. The Adviser is responsible for paying a portion of these shareholder servicing fees to various agents that have a written shareholder servicing agreement with the Adviser and that perform shareholder servicing functions and maintenance of shareholder accounts on behalf of their clients who own shares of the Funds.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Funds were allocated $12,000 for the services of the Chief Compliance Officer employed by the Adviser.
 
The Company, on behalf of the Funds, has adopted two Retail Distribution Plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plans”). One Plan is for Advisor Class A shares, while the other Plan is for Advisor Class C shares. Under the first Plan, Advisor Class A shares may pay up to an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net asset value of Advisor Class A shares to the Distributor or other qualified recipients under the Plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, payments under the 12b-1 Plan for the Advisor Class A shares of Internet, Global, Paradigm, Medical, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Water, Multi-Disciplinary and Tactical Paradigm were limited to 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of such shares of such Funds. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Advisor Class A shares of Internet, Global, Paradigm, Medical, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Water Infrastructure, Multi-Disciplinary and Tactical Paradigm incurred expenses of $1,129, $481, $292,706, $5,611, $16,638, $21,019, $14,165, $157 and $506 respectively, pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan. Under the second Plan, Advisor Class C shares pay an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net asset value of such shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, Internet, Global, Paradigm, Medical, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Water Infrastructure, Multi-Disciplinary and Tactical Paradigm Advisor Class C Shares incurred expenses of $461, $120, $599,542, $2,341, $14,987, $21,899, $11,198, $421 and $1,970 respectively, pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan.

4.   Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts by Directors of Tactical Paradigm Fund
 
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company held on December 18, 2009, the Board, including all of the Directors who are not interested persons under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Directors”), approved the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to Tactical Paradigm. In reaching a decision to approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, considered, among others
(1) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser; (2) the contractual and actual compensation to be paid under the Agreements as compared to the compensation paid to the Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) peer group; (3) the advisory fees and services to be provided to ensure that the fees are based on services provided that are in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided pursuant to the Adviser’s advisory agreement with the Paradigm Portfolio; (4) the expected expense ratio of Tactical Paradigm, with expense waivers, as compared to expense ratios for relevant Lipper peer group; (5) the experience and qualifications of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management capabilities and investment methodologies; (6) the extent to which economies of scale are relevant given Tactical Paradigm’s asset growth potential; (7) the financial condition of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser; (8) the cost of services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s expected profitability; (9) the “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser, Sub-Adviser and their affiliates from the relationship with Tactical Paradigm; (10) the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s operations, compliance programs and policies with respect to the Code of Ethics; and (11) that Tactical Paradigm is designed for long-term investors. The Lipper peer group information was provided by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Company’s administrator.
 
The Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, concluded that: they were satisfied with the quality of services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser in advising Tactical Paradigm; the compensation to be paid to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser was fair and reasonable; the compensation to be paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement were for services in


60

June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided pursuant to the Advisor’s advisory agreement with the Paradigm Portfolio; the profits expected to be earned by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to Tactical Paradigm; and that Tactical Paradigm is not expected to become large enough to attain significant economies of scale.
 
Based on the factors considered, the Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, concluded that it was appropriate to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreement.
 
5.  Reclassification of Capital Accounts
 
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended December 31, 2009, each Fund recorded the following reclassifications to the accounts listed below:

8.  Summary of Fair Value Exposure
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of Tactical Paradigm’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
 
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 for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
 
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
 
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

9.   Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
Tactical Paradigm has adopted enhanced disclosure regarding derivatives and hedging activity intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why Tactical Paradigm uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for by Tactical Paradigm, and how derivative instruments affect Tactical Paradigm’s results of operations and financial position.
 
The Sub-Adviser will attempt to reduce market risk through its use of hedging activities, including use of derivatives. When equity market risk is perceived to be high, and opportunity low, net exposure will be reduced by selling futures, option combos or short-selling ETFs against the value of Tactical Paradigm’s investment in the Paradigm Portfolio. Conversely, when perceived risks are low and opportunities high, Tactical Paradigm will have a low to zero exposure to hedging vehicles.

KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
1.  Organization
 
The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware Statutory Trust on March 14, 2000 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company issuing its beneficial interests in series, each series representing a distinct portfolio with its own investment objective and policies. The series currently authorized are: The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, The Water Infrastructure Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”). Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Master Portfolios, with the exception of The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, are “non-diversified” series of the Trust. The Market Opportunities Portfolio commenced operations on January 31, 2006, The Water Infrastructure Portfolio commenced operations on June 29, 2007 and The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio commenced operations on February 11, 2008. Each of the remaining Master Portfolios commenced operations on April 28, 2000.
 
Each Master Portfolio is a Master Investment Portfolio in a master-feeder fund structure. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds invested in the Master Portfolio. By contributing assets to the Master Portfolio, the feeder funds receive a beneficial interest in the Master Portfolio. The Master Portfolio then invests the contributed assets in portfolio securities and allocates income, gains (losses) and expenses to the feeder funds based on the feeder funds’ proportionate interests in the Master Portfolio.
 
Each of the Master Portfolios, with the exception of The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, seeks to provide investors with long-term capital growth. The Internet Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in the Internet and Internet-related activities. The Global Portfolio generally invests in the equity securities of foreign companies that have the ability to facilitate an increase in the growth of their traditional business lines and in U.S. companies benefiting from international economic growth. The Paradigm Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies that the investment adviser believes are undervalued and that have high returns on equity and are well positioned to reduce their costs, extend the reach of their distribution channels and experience significant growth in their assets or revenues. The Medical Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in medical research, pharmaceutical treatments and related medical technology industries and related technology

industries, generally, with a focus on companies engaged in cancer research and drug development. The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign small capitalized companies that provide attractive valuation opportunities due to special situations such as lack of institutional ownership, lack of significant analyst coverage or companies with sound fundamentals that have experienced a short-term earnings shortfall. The Market Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in capital markets or related to capital markets, as well as companies involved in the gaming industry. The Water Infrastructure Portfolio invests primarily in securities issued by U.S. and foreign companies involved in water infrastructure and natural resources with a specific water theme and related activities. The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio utilizes a two-part investment strategy, which includes fixed income and derivatives components. The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio seeks to provide investors with current income consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity by investing in money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements that are fully collaterized by such obligations.
 
2.  Significant Accounting Policies
 
Security Valuation
Master Portfolio securities (other than securities held by the Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio) that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the NYSE, “fair value” will be determined. Purchased non-exchange traded options, futures, unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Exchange traded options are valued at the last reported sale price on an exchange on which the option is traded. If no sales are reported on a particular day, the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked quotations at the close of the exchanges will be used. Fixed-income securities (other than obligations having a maturity of 60 days or less) are


184

normally valued on the basis of quotes obtained from pricing services, which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. Investment securities in The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio and instruments purchased with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolios. At June 30, 2010, 0.01%, 0.00%, 0.01%, 0.00%, and 0.00% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Portfolio, and The Market Opportunities Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities.
 
Repurchase Agreements
Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolio receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 100% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.
 
At June 30, 2010, The Paradigm Portfolio received as collateral securities with a total market value of $63,241,680. The detailed list of the securities received as collateral is listed below.

Written Options
The Master Portfolios may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the Master Portfolio is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for put options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.
 
Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities
The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. At June 30, 2010 there were no restricted Securities held by the Master Portfolios. An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the Master Portfolio has valued the investment. At June 30, 2010, the following Master Portfolios held illiquid securities:
 
                 
        Percentage
    Market Value   of Net Assets
 
The Internet Portfolio
  $ 4,903       0.01 %
The Paradigm Portfolio
    0       0.00  
The Medical Portfolio
    2,627       0.01  
The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio
    0       0.00  
The Market Opportunities Portfolio
    0       0.00  
 
When-Issued Securities
The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities. The Master Portfolios maintain at all times cash or other liquid assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for when-issued securities.
 
Securities Lending
Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker-dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 331/3% of the total assets of each Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.
 
Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated among the Master Portfolios (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Master Portfolios,


187


 

 
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
depending on the nature of the expenditure. All expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated to the feeder funds daily based on their proportionate interests in the respective Master Portfolios.
 
Federal Income Taxes
Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in a Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that each Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of June 30, 2010, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2006 through 2009. The Portfolios are also 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.
 
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 in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Other
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. 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.
 
3.  Investment Adviser
 
The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Kinetics Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Master Portfolios. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Master Portfolios compensate the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.25% of each Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets, except for The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, which compensates the Adviser at a rate of 0.50% of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The Sub-Adviser to The

June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
Water Infrastructure Portfolio, Brennan Investment Partners, LLC, receives its compensation from the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.35% of the average daily net assets of The Water Infrastructure Portfolio. On July 16, 2010, Brennan Investment Partners, LLC ceased serving as sub-adviser for The Water Infrastructure Portfolio.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Kinetics Government Money Market Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, The Water Infrastructure Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Portfolio incurred expenses of $658,861, $30,872, $8,264,497, $195,569, $1,110,952, $3,620, $385,675, $160,326 and $9,862, respectively, pursuant to the Agreements.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Trust was allocated $12,000 for the services of the Chief Compliance Officer employed by the Adviser.
 
4.   Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts by Trustees of Kinetics Portfolios Trust
 
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on March 12, 2010, the Board, including all of the Trustees who are not interested persons under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Agreements with respect to each Master Portfolio. In reaching a decision to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered, among others (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser; (2) the performance of the Master Portfolios over the previous three months as well as the one, three and five-year periods ended December 31, 2009, as compared to the median of their relevant Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”) peer group(s); (3) the contractual and actual compensation to be paid under the Agreements as compared to the compensation paid to relevant Lipper peer groups; (4) the expense ratios of the Master Portfolios, with expense waivers, as compared to expense ratios for relevant peer groups of Lipper portfolios; (5) the experience and qualifications of the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s portfolio management capabilities and investment methodologies; (6) the Adviser’s operations, compliance program and policies with respect to the Code of Ethics; (7) the financial condition of the Adviser; (8) the cost of services to be provided by the Adviser and the Adviser’s profitability from each Master Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2009; (9) the “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Master Portfolios; (10) the extent to which economies of


189


 

 
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
scale are relevant given the Master Portfolios’ current asset size and current asset growth potential; and (11) that each Master Portfolio other than the Government Money Market Portfolio, is designed for long-term investors. The Lipper peer group information was provided by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Company’s administrator.
 
In addition, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved, the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for The Water Infrastructure Portfolio with Brennan Investment Partners, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). The Board noted that William S. Brennan, the Water Infrastructure Portfolio’s current lead portfolio manager, would continue to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. In reaching a decision to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered their legal responsibilities with regard to all factors deemed to be relevant to The Water Infrastructure Portfolio, including, but not limited to the following: (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Sub-Adviser; (2) the experience and qualifications of the Sub-Adviser’s personnel providing such services; (3) the performance of The Water Infrastructure Portfolio and the Sub-Adviser, as compared to industry competitors for the periods ended December 31, 2009; (4) an evaluation of the fee structure, any fee waivers, and The Water Infrastructure Portfolio’s expense ratios, and a comparison of them in relation to those of other investment companies having comparable investment policies and limitations; (5) possible alternative fee structures for determining fees; (6) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as The Water Infrastructure Portfolio grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of The Water Infrastructure Portfolio’s investors; (7) the direct and indirect costs of the services to be provided (and the basis of determining and allocating these costs) and profits by the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Trust; (8) other compensation or possible benefits to the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates from their advisory and other relationships with the Trust, including, if applicable, any benefits derived or to be derived by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Trust such as soft dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research to the trust or the Sub-Adviser in return for allocating the Trust’s brokerage; (9) entrepreneurial risks borne by the Sub-Adviser, if any; and (10) a comparison of the fees charged by the Sub-Adviser with fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to similar clients.
 
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that: they were satisfied with the quality of services provided by the


190


 

 
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued)
June 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
Adviser in advising the Master Portfolios and the quality of services to be provided by the Sub-Adviser in sub-advising The Water Infrastructure Portfolio, the profits earned by the Adviser (and Sub-Adviser with respect to The Water Infrastructure Portfolio) were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Master Portfolio; and that each Master Portfolio was not large enough to attain significant economies of scale.
 
Based on the factors considered, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was appropriate to renew the Agreements and the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

mitigated by the collateral, a Master Portfolio could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. The Master Portfolio receives interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned. The Master Portfolios will continue to receive dividends and interest on all securities loaned. Gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be accounted for by the Master Portfolios.

8.  Summary of Fair Value Exposure
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Portfolios’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
 
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 for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Company’s own

assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
 
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
 
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
