Dear Investor,

 

Financial markets provided mixed returns during the first half of 2018. The U.S. economy powered ahead, posting 4.1 percent Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth in the second quarter, bolstered by tax cuts and strong corporate profits. However, rising interest rates, the increased use of tariffs and a stronger U.S. dollar offset many of the positives experienced in the first half of the year. The synchronized global growth we saw in 2017 is becoming more divergent, with foreign markets, particularly emerging markets, beginning to show some cracks.

The risk of a larger trade war, combined with less accommodative global central banks, has kept a lid on equity performance. Likewise, rising interest rates in the U.S. have caused fixed income returns to be negative during the first half of 2018. Surprisingly, volatility remains muted in the U.S. equity markets, given the numerous crosscurrents that exist. For now, markets have seemingly chosen to focus on the positives of domestic growth and strong corporate profits, rather than on the risk of higher interest rates, geopolitical events and the ramifications of increased tariffs.

Equity Markets

Domestic equity markets fared significantly better than foreign equity markets during the first half of 2018. The S&P 500®, S&P MidCap 400® and Russell 2000® indices all posted positive returns, ranging from 2.7 percent to 7.7 percent. Small cap stocks provided the best returns, as these companies tend to be more domestically focused, with less international exposure. Conversely, large cap

stocks posted lower returns, as these companies tend to have more international exposure and consequently are affected negatively by a strong U.S. dollar and may be affected more by tariffs.

Within the domestic stock universe, growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks by a wide margin. The S&P 500® Growth Index provided a return of 7.3 percent, while the S&P 500® Value Index provided a return of -2.2 percent. Foreign stock returns were generally negative in U.S. dollar terms, due to the stronger U.S. dollar and, in some cases, slowing growth. These same factors, as well as tariffs and, in some cases, geopolitical concerns, caused emerging market stock returns to suffer more than developed equity markets.

A summary of returns for key equity benchmarks is presented below:

 

Index

     6/30/18 YTD U.S. Dollar  
Total Return (price and
dividend)
 

S&P 500®

     2.65%  

S&P 500® Growth

     7.28%  

S&P 500® Value

     -2.23%  

S&P MidCap 400®

     3.49%  

Russell 2000® Small Cap

     7.67%  

MSCI All Country World Ex-USA (Net – USD)

     -3.77%  

MSCI Emerging Market

     -6.56%  

The variability of returns in the previous table serves as a reminder of why it is important to stay diversified. Diversification among asset classes tends to smooth returns and lower volatility over time.

Fixed Income Markets

Bond returns were generally negative during the first half of 2018. The Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index posted a year-to-date total return of -1.6 percent at the end of the second quarter. The Federal Reserve increased the Federal Funds rate twice during the period, for a total of 50 basis points. Longer term interest rates also increased, albeit slightly less than the Federal Funds rate. As a result, the interest rate curve continued to flatten between 2-year and 30-year Treasury rates. The expectation is for the Federal Reserve to increase the Federal Funds rate by an additional 25 to 50 basis points in the second half of this year, and to increase rates slightly in 2019.

Within the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index, shorter duration bonds outperformed longer duration bonds, due to the rise in interest rates. In addition, higher quality bonds generally outperformed lower quality bonds, as credit spreads widened during the first half of the year. Corporate bonds were the worst performing sector within the index, while the higher quality U.S. Treasury, agency and securitized sectors performed better.

Looking Ahead

We are neutral regarding the prospects for financial markets for the remainder of the year. On the positive side, we expect the U.S. economy, GDP growth and corporate

profits to remain healthy. On the negative side, we expect higher short-term interest rates and the potential for a decline in corporate profit growth. The wildcards are tariffs, geopolitical events and the upcoming mid-term elections. Given these items, we expect volatility to increase over the next year from its current low level. In this environment, we believe that staying the course in a well-diversified portfolio will serve well over the long term.

Thank you for entrusting your assets to the Ohio National Fund, Inc. We look forward to continuing to serve your financial needs.

Sincerely,

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Total return figures include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Equity Portfolio returned -1.88% versus 2.65% for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. Our valuation-driven process and discipline is focused on buying stocks when prices are below business value, and subsequent convergence of price and value is inherently a longer-term strategy. As a result, our investment discipline is not optimal for momentum-driven markets driven by shorter-term factors. Relative performance suffered from not owning enough mega cap technology stocks, primarily the so-called FAANG stocks (Facebook, Inc., Amazon.com, Inc., Apple, Inc., Netflix, Inc., and Alphabet, Inc.), that powered the market at the benchmark level. We were also overweight Health Care stocks that we believe represent good long-term value, but those stocks suffered from continued pricing concerns and some specific pipeline disappointments. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection and sector allocation detracted from the Portfolio’s performance. Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology (IT) and Health Care sectors detracted the most from relative performance. The Portfolio’s

underweight to the IT sector and its cash position also detracted from returns. Meanwhile, stock selection in the Utilities and Materials sectors contributed to relative performance, as did an underweight allocation to the Consumer Staples sector. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. XL Group Ltd. (XL), a property and casualty insurer in the Financials sector, was the Portfolio’s top contributor. The company was acquired by insurance giant AXA SA at a 50% premium to its stock price before the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) speculation surfaced. We took advantage of the low valuation late last year as the stock suffered an operating loss in 2017 due to large catastrophe losses. We saw value in XL’s global leadership in the commercial insurance and reinsurance markets given its specialty focus and the highly valuable Lloyd’s franchise. (1)

AES Corp. (“AES”), in the Utilities sector, was another top contributor that is starting to enjoy the full benefits from its pivot to faster-growing renewal energy projects, while also paying down debt and reducing costs. The result is a major reduction in AES’s risk profile, which should culminate in investment grade metrics by next year. At the same time, earnings and cash flow growth has been steadily improving, which is fully supporting its 4% dividend yield. These fundamental improvements, along with the major risk reduction, should continue to close the gap between price and a higher and growing business value. (1)

Celgene Corporation, in the Health Care sector, is a biotechnology company developing therapies for cancer and immune inflammatory diseases and was the Portfolio’s top detractor. Negative reaction to two acquisitions announced by the company and an unfavorable ruling from the FDA on its treatment for relapsing multiple sclerosis weighed on shares. (1)

Adient PLC, in the Consumer Discretionary sector, was another top detractor. The company reported a poor first fiscal quarter in 2018, with earnings below consensus, and lowered guidance for 2018. The company faces headwinds in its seat structures/mechanisms and metals business, although these issues should be transitory. Adient PLC also announced the formation of Adient Aerospace, a joint venture with Boeing, which should be a good opportunity once it begins to produce revenue. (1)

Comments from Adviser

 

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Bond Portfolio returned -3.25% versus -3.12% for its benchmark, the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. Long-term interest rates increased and the yield curve flattened during the period, as short-term interest rates increased more than long-term interest rates. In this environment, longer duration bonds generally underperformed shorter duration bonds. Corporate credit spreads widened during the period, with higher quality bonds generally outperforming lower quality bonds. From an investment strategy perspective, the Portfolio maintained a slightly lower duration and slightly lower credit quality than the benchmark. (1)

While neither of the above materially affected the Portfolio’s performance compared to the benchmark, the Portfolio’s shorter duration added slightly to performance, while the Portfolio’s lower credit quality slightly detracted from performance vs. the benchmark. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For security selection, was there anything specific regarding the Fund’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. In terms of holdings, the Portfolio was slightly overweight the Energy and Materials sectors vs. the benchmark and slightly underweight the Consumer Staples and Information Technology sectors during the period. Other sector weightings compared to the benchmark were not

significant. In terms of performance vs. the benchmark, the Telecommunication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors performed the best, while the Information Technology and Energy sectors performed the worst. In most cases, security selection within the sector accounted for the majority of the sector performance vs. the benchmark, rather than the sector weighting. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The top three contributors to the Portfolio’s performance relative to the benchmark were Noble Holding International Ltd. 7.950% due 2025, Transocean, Inc. 9.000% due 2023 and Spectra Energy Capital, LLC 3.300% due 2023. Each of these bonds is in the Energy sector and performed well. The top three detractors to the Portfolio’s performance relative to the benchmark were Wells Fargo & Co. 4.650% due 2044, Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. 4.250% due 2047, and American International Group, Inc. 3.875% due 2035. These bonds are longer duration bonds and experienced modest spread widening during the period. (1)

Hypothetical illustration based on past performance. Future performance will vary. The Portfolio’s returns reflect reinvested dividends. The Portfolio’s holdings may differ significantly from the securities in the index. The index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio management and accounting.

The ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master Index tracks the performance of all U.S. dollar-denominated, investment grade corporate public debt issued in the U.S. domestic bond market. Qualifying bonds must have an investment grade rating (based on an average of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch). In addition, qualifying securities must have at least one year remaining term to maturity, a fixed coupon schedule, and a minimum amount outstanding of $250 million.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Total return figures include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month end, call toll-free 1-877-781-6392.

The Portfolio is not open to direct retail investment. Beneficial interest in shares is obtained solely by purchase of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts. Actual performance results for variable annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges.

Comments from Sub-Adviser/Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Omni Portfolio returned -0.18% versus 0.95% for its benchmark, which is comprised of 70% S&P 500 Index and 30% ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. While market concerns regarding the impacts from trade conflicts between the United States and China, the NAFTA nations, and the European Union affected the performance of the Omni Portfolio and the benchmark, stock selection contributed significantly to the underperformance in the first half of the year within the equity portion of the Portfolio. For the fixed income portion of the Portfolio, higher interest rates and wider corporate bond spreads negatively impacted the absolute return of fixed income investments. However, sector selection added to performance vs. the fixed income benchmark. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For security selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. For the equity portion of the Portfolio, stock selections in Industrials and Consumer Staples contributed to relative performance, while top detractors were stock selections within Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary. Sector allocation, overall, was a slight contributor to relative performance. For the fixed income portion, the

allocation to sovereign issues, as well as the Telecommunication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors benefited performance vs. the benchmark, while allocations to the Utilities and Industrials sectors detracted from performance. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. Top contributors for the equity portion of the Portfolio included Amazon.com, Inc., as it reported significant profit upside, in part driven by upside in a new advertising growth driver. QUALCOMM, Inc. contributed, as the Chinese government restarted its review of QUALCOMM, Inc.’s acquisition of NXP Semiconductors N.V. after delays due to trade tensions. CSX Corp. was another top contributor, as it announced that it is on track to meet or exceed long-term operating margin goals despite a rocky start in 2017. Top contributors for the fixed income portion of the Portfolio included Spectra Energy Capital, LLC 3.300% due 2023, AT&T, Inc. 3.900% due 2027, and U.S. Treasury Note 2.000% due 2024. Spectra Energy Capital, LLC bonds were called with a make-whole premium during the period. Likewise, AT&T, Inc. bonds were called under a special mandatory redemption provision. The U.S. Treasury Note bonds performed well vs. the benchmark because the credit spread on U.S. Treasury Notes did not widen like the benchmark did during the period. (1)

Top detractors for the equity portion of the Portfolio included CommScope Holding Co., Inc., as its management lowered guidance significantly due to significant price concessions to win contracts. Lincoln National Corp. detracted on underperformance similar to its life insurance peer group, and fear of impacts from trade conflicts drove declines in longer-term U.S. interest rates. Another top detractor, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. had a relatively weak recovery in Eastern Caribbean bookings after the 2017 hurricanes. Top detractors for the fixed income portion of the Portfolio included American International Group, Inc. 3.875% due 2035, Duke Energy Corp. 3.750% due 2046, and General Motors Co. 5.000% due 2035. Each of these bonds is a longer duration bond, which performed poorly with higher interest rates, and experienced spread widening during the period. (1)

Hypothetical illustration based on past performance. Future performance will vary. The Portfolio’s returns reflect reinvested dividends. The Portfolio’s holdings may differ significantly from the securities in the index. The index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio management and accounting.

The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index designed to measure performance of the broad domestic market through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The index presented includes the effects of reinvested dividends.

The ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master Index tracks the performance of all U.S. dollar-denominated, investment grade corporate public debt issued in the U.S. domestic bond market. Qualifying bonds must have an investment grade rating (based on an average of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch). In addition, qualifying securities must have at least one year remaining term to maturity, a fixed coupon schedule, and a minimum amount outstanding of $250 million.

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Capital Appreciation Portfolio returned 1.35% versus 2.65% for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. Equity market gains so far this year have been particularly strong among higher growth companies, as growth has outperformed value across all market cap segments. This observation is especially true among large cap companies, with the Russell 1000 Growth Index outperforming its Value Index counterpart by almost 9%. Our bias toward value companies (driven by our risk/reward work) hurt relative performance this year. From a market cap perspective, small caps beat large caps, and large cap beat mid cap. Our consistent lower cap bias relative to the benchmark also prevented us from exceeding the performance of the benchmark. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. While sector weightings are a residual of our bottom-up fundamental research, these weightings added value over the course of the period, while stock selection detracted from relative performance. Specifically, a meaningful overweight in Consumer Discretionary, as well as an underweight to Consumer Staples, contributed to relative gain. Stock selection proved to be detrimental in Consumer Discretionary, mostly

because we did not own several internet-related names that performed well in the benchmark. In Financials, stock selection in insurance and capital markets drove underperformance. Security choices in Industrials added value, specifically our positions in the commercial services & supplies and electrical equipment industries. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The top contributors to the Portfolio’s relative performance were Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. Class A (“Twenty-First Century Fox”), PTC, Inc. (“PTC”), and SeaWorld Entertainment, Inc. (SeaWorld). Shares of Twenty-First Century Fox rose near the end of the period on the news that the Department of Justice’s (“DOJ’s) anti-trust division granted approval for Disney’s proposed acquisition of Fox, while also requiring the sale of Fox Sports Regional Networks. PTC benefitted from better than expected bookings, giving us confidence in the strength of its end markets. The company also announced plans to offer subscription-only products starting January 2019 and enjoyed continued success in its Internet of Things (“IoT”) division. We think the transition to a subscription model and IoT growth are catalysts for better earnings and see steady market share opportunity within the core business. SeaWorld posted very strong results, with operating performance that exceeded expectations, giving credence to our expectations of a turnaround at the company. (1)

The largest relative detractors were Brighthouse Financial, Inc. and not owning Amazon.com, Inc. or Netflix, Inc., both of which experienced very strong gains for the benchmark during the six-month period. Brighthouse Financial is the domestic retail life & annuity business that was spun-off from Metlife, Inc. last year. Operating earnings fell short of expectations; however, annuity sales, which are a potential key driver for organic growth, were stronger than expected. We continue to view this as a very cheap stock with very low expectations that we think can be exceeded. (1)

Q. How did the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and initial public offerings (IPOs), if any, impact performance?

A. The Portfolio participated in several IPO’s during the period that contributed positively to performance, including Spotify Technology SA (18 basis points), Siemens Healthineers AG (11 basis points), and GrafTech International Ltd. (7 basis points). (1)

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON International Equity Portfolio returned -2.59% versus -2.75% for its current benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index (Net – USD).

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. The Portfolio aims to outperform its benchmark by approximately 200 to 300 basis points over a full market cycle (typically 35 years) with a consistent pattern of performance. Historically, the strategy has added more value versus the benchmark when markets are fundamentally driven in both down markets and moderately rising markets, as opposed to low-quality-led rapidly rising markets.

After a year of steady gains and historically low volatility, global equities fell sharply from all-time highs in late January as investors reacted to prospects of higher long-term interest rates and, more recently, to the deteriorating global trade environment. The first quarter’s uncertainty raised investor awareness of risk and emphasized the importance of fundamentals. This environment favored skilled stock selection, which benefited the Portfolio. In the second quarter, non-U.S. equity developed-market performance was positive in local terms, but returns for U.S. dollar–based investors were significantly lower due to the sharp rise of the U.S. dollar during the period. (1)

The Portfolio was negatively impacted by the underperformance of emerging markets in the second quarter. The sell-off in emerging markets equities was relatively modest in local currency terms, with the MSCI Emerging Market Index down 3.5% during the second quarter of 2018. For U.S. dollar investors, however, losses were amplified to 8.0%. This performance was historically consistent, as U.S. dollar strength has typically had an inverse relationship with emerging markets equity performance. The fundamental trends of the companies themselves,

however, remained mostly unchanged. Some individual emerging markets came under particular pressure in the quarter because they must pay off U.S.-dollar denominated debt or finance large current account deficits. Elsewhere, growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks at a margin of 300 basis points (bps) during the second quarter and have outperformed by over 500 bps over the past year. This performance reflects the stage of the economic cycle, where growth has continued but has become weaker. Investors in this environment typically bid up any companies that offer any growth, leading to outperformance over value. (1)

Q. How did country selection impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark?

A. Our investment approach follows a bottom-up stock selection process, where country exposures are a residual of stock picking. Our attribution is driven primarily by stock selection. During the period, the Portfolio’s overall country allocation effect has been neutral (+4 basis points). (1)

We remain underweight Japan, where we have found it difficult to find companies we view as having impressive ROE’s, whose valuations are attractive. While there have been some improvements in the macro environment within Japan, the underlying pace of change for financial productivity has been slow. The Portfolio’s overweight exposure to emerging markets, an out-of-benchmark region, offers investment opportunities with attractive financial productivity relative to valuation. Recent uncertainty in the emerging markets is largely due to specific, idiosyncratic conditions in individual countries rather than a sign of systemic weakness. The fundamental trends of our holdings in emerging markets themselves, however, remained mostly positive. We also remain overweight the United Kingdom (“UK”), where we own many global businesses that we view as high-quality. These holdings draw more revenue from outside the UK than from the domestic UK market. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Portfolio returns were helped by:

 

 

Stock selection in the Industrials sector, driven by strong performance from Ferguson PLC, a British distributor of heating and plumbing products to customers in Europe and the U.S. The stock rose more than 13% during the period on results highlighted by improved margins and strong organic growth in the U.S. and Europe. Subsequent to its sale of its Nordic business in late 2017, the company’s balance sheet exhibits strong liquidity and the company remains in a prime position to benefit from improving construction trends. (1)

 

 

Stock selection in the Materials sector. BHP Billiton, PLC, an Anglo-Australian mining company that has better capital discipline and a lower cost structure than many of its peers, has the framework to return cash to shareholders going forward, and is less exposed to China’s secular shift from infrastructure spending. The stock rose more than 12%, significantly outperforming within the underperforming sector. (1)

 

 

Stock selection, and a lower-than-benchmark weight, in the Financials sector. DBS Group Holdings, Ltd., Singapore’s’ largest bank, contributed to performance. The company reported strong net interest margins and raised its regular dividend in addition to producing a special dividend, helping to convince investors that the cash return portion of the investment thesis is robust. We believe the bank will continue to experience an earnings upgrade cycle, resulting

from fading bad-debt charges and improving net interest margins. The company should also benefit from its historical investment in digitization, which should hold down cost growth, while its loan growth and fee income continue to rise. With nearly 40% of customers now using digital offerings, which has helped with retention, we believe these investments will drive higher financial productivity going forward. We believe the multiple remains inexpensive for the ongoing improvement. (1)

Portfolio returns were hurt by:

 

 

The relative underperformance of emerging markets equities during the second quarter, which were significantly affected by the strength of the U.S. dollar during the second quarter. U.S. dollar strength has historically had an inverse relationship with emerging market equity performance. The fundamental trends of the companies themselves, however, remain mostly positive. (1)

 

   

Cielo SA is a leading credit card acquirer in Brazil, where card penetration remains low, thereby allowing for long-term secular growth. The company has been hurt by macro headwinds affecting the Brazilian equity market. Concerns over the 2018 presidential election, along with fears that the Brazilian economic recovery remains lackluster, were amplified by the weakening of the real amidst U.S. dollar strength and the general emerging markets equity selloff. We believe credit card penetration will continue to structurally expand, and more recently, we have seen card volumes improve. The company also exhibits superior relative value characteristics with a 30% return on equity (“ROE”), trading at ten times its 2019 price to earnings ratio, a metric that has derated by 15% in the 2nd quarter. (1)

 

   

Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri AS, another emerging market stock that is the largest mobile and fixed line data provider in Turkey, with 70 million subscribers in nine countries, also negatively impacted performance. Smartphone penetration is roughly 60% and the secular trend should remain a tailwind. Macro headwinds hurt the stock, as fears regarding the Turkish lira and the presidential election resulted in weak currency, equity, and bond markets. We believe the fundamentals of the business remain strong. Foreign debt is mostly hedged, and strong pricing enables the company to pass along higher costs to customers. The telecommunication industry is a more defensive sector with stable revenues and market shares, resulting in a less competitive pricing environment. The stock currently trades at eight times 2019 earnings per share (“EPS”), for over 20% 5-year EPS compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”), and offers a 10% free cash flow (“FCF”) yield. The valuation has derated roughly 20% in the quarter while the expected ROE has remained nearly unchanged. (1)

 

 

Stock selection in the Consumer Staples sector. British American Tobacco PLC fell 24% during the period. The stock initially declined in the first quarter because investors sold high dividend stocks as long-term interest rates rose. The stock continued to lag because the company’s earnings announcement led to small consensus downgrades and on concerns of structural changes in the tobacco industry. Although the vast majority of the business is still combustible cigarettes where volume is declining, we believe that the company has strong pricing power and its market share has risen for seven years in a row. We continue to believe the company exhibits strong relative value characteristics with returns on invested capital above 50%, a PE valuation of 12x, a greater than 7% FCF yield, and a 5% dividend yield. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. Top 3 Relative Contributors (by total attribution effect):

Japanese musical instrument company Yamaha Corp. (“Yamaha”) (+35bps) outperformed on results that showed a considerable margin expansion. Given this trajectory, the company’s management should be able to exceed expectations for full year operating profit target. Yamaha enjoys a dominant market share in musical instruments and is benefiting from product mix (especially in the fast growing, higher margin digital instrument segment), cost cutting, price increases, and rising disposable incomes in emerging markets. The company’s pianos and digital keyboards continue to sell well, especially in China. (1)

As discussed above, returns were also significantly boosted by Ferguson PLC (+33bps) and BHP Billiton PLC (+33bps). (1)

Bottom 3 Relative Detractors (by total attribution effect):

As discussed above, relative returns were most negatively impacted by Cielo SA (-39bps), British American Tobacco PLC (-38bps), and Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri AS (-30bps). (1)

  (a)

Security traded on a foreign exchange has been valued at an estimate of fair value that is different than the local market close price. These fair value estimates are determined by an independent fair valuation service that has been approved by the Board. These securities represent $497,752,371 or 81.5% of the Portfolio’s net assets.

  (b)

Non-income producing security.

  (c)

As discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, not all investments that are traded on a foreign exchange are valued at an estimate that is different from the local close price. In some instances, the independent fair valuation service uses a stock’s local close price because the service’s measure of predictability related to their valuation model of a stock is below a chosen threshold. These securities represent $2,012,704 or 0.3% of the Portfolio’s net assets. Other Portfolio securities are not subjected to fair valuation procedures because they are traded on domestic or foreign exchanges that have close times that are consistent with the U.S. market close, normally 4:00 pm Eastern Time.

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Foreign Portfolio returned -3.85% versus -3.77% for its current benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Ex-USA Index (Net – USD).

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. International equities declined during the first half of 2018 amid concerns about escalating trade tensions and the effects of a stronger U.S. dollar and tighter monetary policy on emerging markets. Performance trends remained broadly consistent with recent periods, with a few exceptions. Information Technology and other growth-oriented sectors continued to lead, which negatively impacted the Portfolio relative to the benchmark given our lower exposure to these sectors. Energy extended recent gains as supply concerns in Venezuela and Iran—along with a smaller-than-expected output increase by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries—supported the price of crude oil. This favorable development benefited the Portfolio’s overweighted Energy holdings. Among new developments, Health Care stocks bounced back strongly, significantly benefiting the Portfolio relative to its benchmark, given its major Health Care overweight. Financials declined further amid concerns about slower growth and renewed political turmoil in Europe. Material exposure to European banks negatively impacted the Portfolio relative to the benchmark in this environment. (1)

Market trends that dampened investor sentiment included escalating trade tensions and quantitative tightening in the U.S., as well as political uncertainty in Italy. International markets have been buffeted by a series of headwinds originating in the U.S., including a stronger U.S. dollar and diminished liquidity due to quantitative tightening, and uncertainty surrounding trade. It is difficult to determine how these trends will ultimately play out. Tighter U.S. dollar liquidity, rising U.S. interest rates

and more restrictive terms of trade certainly threaten booming Asian exports, though that threat is at least partially reflected in emerging market equity valuations hovering near three-year lows. Escalating trade tensions have yet to impact equities, but remain a risk to global growth and market stability. Although we have not deliberately constructed the Portfolio for a “trade war” scenario, we believe it is reasonably well-positioned should tensions escalate. Solid exposure to Financials and Energy, which are sensitive to interest rates and inflation, and to Health Care, which is less exposed to trade regulation, may prove strategically advantageous in an age of rising protectionism. Lower exposure to Information Technology, Industrials and consumer sectors, all with complex global supply chains and high export earnings, may also prove beneficial. Turning to Italy, we believe recent concerns about the country’s possible withdrawal from the European Union are overblown. Were the country to leave, its banks would be insolvent, its government would default, and the purchasing power of household savings would be vastly diminished once redenominated in lira. We do not anticipate an Italian exit and see recent weakness in Europe as a buying opportunity. (1)

Q. How did country selection impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark?

A. As bottom-up analysts, our regional weightings are typically more a function of the relative prevalence of value opportunities than a specific regional macroeconomic view.

The Portfolio is slightly underweighted to Asia. During the first half of 2018, the Portfolio’s Asian holdings detracted from performance relative to the benchmark due mostly to a below-benchmark weighting in Japan and an above-benchmark weighting in South Korea. Despite the relative underweighting, we have found increasingly attractive opportunities in Japan, and the Portfolio’s absolute weighting remains material. Japan is one of the few markets in the world that is both under-owned and trading at a discount to its historical valuation levels. Investor caution relates to legacy issues of low growth, expensive valuations, excessive leverage and poor returns. Yet, conditions have improved. Japan’s GDP is growing at an above-trend pace, corporate governance is improving, and earnings have recently risen to multi-decade highs, while leverage fell to multi-decade lows. As fundamentals have improved, valuations have become more attractive. Structural headwinds attributable to aging demographics and high government debt persist, but Japan is making progress, and continues to produce select bottom-up bargains. (1)

Like Japan, South Korea’s recovery has been fundamentally driven. Corporate earnings have risen due to strong export growth, which has bolstered the current account surplus and foreign reserves. As with Japan, valuations have yet to follow suit. Despite rising substantially last year, the MSCI Korea Index (in USD terms) traded at its lowest forward price/earnings (“P/E”) ratio in five years during the period. Some policies introduced under left-leaning President Moon, including increases to minimum wages and higher corporate tax rates, have rattled investors and may be partially responsible for the decline. Nevertheless, the Moon Administration has also progressed with shareholder-friendly efforts to reform the chaebols (large business conglomerates), already resulting in higher payout ratios and improving return prospects. With a solid economic and corporate profit cycle taking hold and the Bank of Korea now beginning to hike rates for the first time in six years, we continue to see significant upside potential for select companies in what we consider a low-valued market. (1)

In Europe, stock selection and an overweighted allocation notably contributed relative to the benchmark. We continue to find compelling bargains in the region. Although lead indicators have softened, the economic backdrop in Europe remains expansionary. An environment of balanced budgets, easier fiscal policy, still-accommodative monetary policy and accelerating investment due to high capacity utilization remains auspicious to us. Despite recent messaging from the European Central Bank regarding plans to scale back bond purchases, any

quantitative tightening is likely to be gradual, and the bank’s single mandate of price stability suggests it will likely maintain relatively accommodating policies. Yet, Europe’s trailing P/E has halved in just the past two years and the region trades at the steepest discount to the U.S. on price-to-book in decades. This trend is largely due to perceived political risks, which we believe are manageable. With European profit margins, valuation multiples and performance metrics all near historic lows relative to the U.S., we see significant scope for a return to average prices over our investment horizon. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Overall, sector and country allocation positively contributed to relative performance, while stock selection detracted from performance during the review period. (1)

Energy and Health care both contributed due to overweighted allocations and stock selection, while Consumer Staples contribution was solely due to stock selection. A favorable underweighting and positive stock selection benefited relative results in Real Estate. Stock selection in Europe, particularly in Germany and Italy, contributed to performance. (1)

In contrast, Industrials, Information Technology, and Materials all detracted from relative performance due to stock selection, while Telecommunication Services was hurt primarily by an unfavorable overweighting. Stock selection was also responsible for Financials and Utilities detracting from relative results. From a country allocation perspective, stock selection was the weakest in Asia, where stock selections within Japan and Hong Kong, among others, detracted from relative performance. (1)

During the period, the U.S. dollar rose in value against most foreign currencies, which hurt the Portfolio’s performance because investments in securities with non-U.S. currency exposure lost value as the U.S. dollar rose. (1)

Footnotes:

  (a)

Security traded on a foreign exchange has been valued at an estimate of fair value that is different than the local market close price. These fair value estimates are determined by an independent fair valuation service that has been approved by the Board. These securities represent $59,846,857 or 86.6% of the Portfolio’s net assets.

  (b)

Non-income producing security.

  (c)

As discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements, not all investments that are traded on a foreign exchange are valued at an estimate that is different from the local close price. In some instances, the independent fair valuation service uses a stock’s local close price because the service’s measure of predictability related to their valuation model of a stock is below a chosen threshold. These securities represent $1,210,506 or 1.8% of the Portfolio’s net assets. Other Portfolio securities are not subjected to fair valuation procedures because they are traded on domestic or foreign exchanges that have close times that are consistent with the U.S. market close, normally 4:00 pm Eastern Time.

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Janus Henderson Forty Portfolio returned 13.60% versus 7.25% for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. The ON Janus Forty Portfolio is a concentrated strategy. As such, we expect individual stock performance to be the primary driver of relative outperformance or underperformance and that was the case for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Stock selection was the primary driver of relative outperformance, particularly within the Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors. The concentrated nature resulted in the Portfolio looking significantly different from the benchmark within any sector. Within the Information Technology sector, the Portfolio holds positions in several stocks that are tied to powerful secular tailwinds, such as the moving of enterprise software from on-premises to the cloud, a transition in advertising spending away from traditional media toward digital advertising platforms and the switch from cash and check to plastic and electronic payments. (1)

The Portfolio’s sector weightings played only a modest role in driving relative outperformance. An underweight to the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted from relative results, as did an overweight to the Financials sector. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. Mastercard, Inc. Class A (“Mastercard”) was the Portfolio’s largest contributor. For Mastercard, strong revenue growth and better-than-expected earnings guidance drove the stock during the period and confirmed our point of view that payment companies are poised to benefit as consumers and businesses switch from cash and check to plastic and electronic payments. (1)

The Trade Desk, Inc. Class A was the Portfolio’s second largest contributor. The stock sold off in November 2017 due to fourth quarter guidance being below market expectations and the company’s investment commentary for 2018. The stock bounced back significantly after the company reported better results in its most recent quarterly earnings announcement. (1)

SVB Financial Group (“SVB”) was the Portfolio’s third largest contributor. The stock was up significantly after the company reported first quarter revenue and earnings growth that exceeded consensus expectations. We believe the bank has a dominant niche in Silicon Valley, and think SVB is a differentiated and competitively-advantaged bank that can grow faster than its peers at generally higher returns. (1)

An underweight to Apple, Inc. was a key relative detractor. The Portfolio has some exposure to Apple, Inc. but is underweight the stock relative to the benchmark because we are less optimistic about the company’s long-term earnings potential after the iPhone 8 and iPhone X product cycle. (1)

Netflix, Inc.: Not owning the stock within the Portfolio was another key relative detractor. (1)

LendingTree, Inc. was another large relative detractor for the Portfolio. The stock has underperformed because of concerns about the company’s mortgage volumes given an industry slowdown in purchase and refinance activity. We think the market has failed to appreciate the fact that LendingTree, Inc. is diversifying its revenue sources so that it is less dependent on mortgage originations. (1)

Q. How did the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and initial public offerings (IPOs), if any, impact performance?

A. The Portfolio did not use derivatives, but participated in one IPO, Pagseguro Digital Ltd. Class A, which contributed 14 basis points during the period. (1)

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Janus Henderson Venture Portfolio returned 11.61% versus 9.70% for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. While the Portfolio outperformed the benchmark during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the market was led by a narrow subset of consumer internet, medical technology and Software-as-a-Service companies. Many of these stocks trade at extremely high valuations or are yet to produce earnings. The Portfolio’s relative performance was hurt by not owning some of these stocks within the benchmark that outperformed.. The Portfolio owns some stocks within those industries, but we are concerned about excessive valuations for many others. We are comfortable with the Portfolio positioning and refuse to chase these stocks indiscriminately. We believe valuation discipline will be rewarded over the long-term. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Both stock selection and sector weighting contributed to relative performance. Stock selection was strongest in the Industrials sector. (1)

In terms of sector allocation, the Portfolio’s overweight to the Information Technology sector was additive to relative performance. We are overweight the sector because we find a number of companies that

aren’t traditional Information Technology companies, but that use technology to provide a much-needed service or solution to specific verticals or industries. Often times, these companies provide a valuable service to the companies they serve, but represent a proportionately small amount of the companies’ budgets. Such business models tend to create steady, predictable revenue streams, and represent the types of steady growth companies we seek out in our strategy. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. Relative Contributors:

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”): Broadridge provides investor communications and technology-driven solutions to banks, broker-dealers, mutual funds and corporations globally. Strong revenue growth and a growing appreciation for the company’s ancillary businesses and the revenue streams derived from the data they collect through their proxy business helped drive the stock. (1)

SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (“SS&C”): The stock was up after SS&C announced that it was acquiring DST Systems, Inc., a company providing recordkeeping and other software-enabled services to mutual funds and other financial companies. We share the market’s sentiment toward the acquisition, and believe SS&C has a great track record of realizing synergies and cost cuts from the businesses it acquires. (1)

Bioverativ, Inc. (“Bioverativ”): The stock soared on news that French Health Care company Sanofi agreed to buy the Company for more than $11 billion, a significant premium to the firm’s market value at the time. Bioverativ specializes in hemophilia, one of the largest markets for rare diseases and one that Sanofi projects could grow by more than 7% annually through 2022. The deal is expected to close within months. As a result, we exited the stock. (1)

Relative Detractors:

Belden, Inc. (“Belden”): Some of its networking equipment is sold to broadcast firms, and a dip in broadcast networks’ capital spending may have weighed on the stock. However, we believe that as more live events are recorded online through venues such as YouTube and Amazon, demand for its broadcast-related equipment should remain firm. We continue to like Belden’s long-term potential as the amount of components and connectors used in industrial products expands. (1)

Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc.: Not owning the benchmark holding was the Portfolio’s second largest relative detractor. (1)

Ontex Group N.V.: The stock of the diaper and hygiene product manufacturer fell due in part to slow volumes in Brazil and cost input pressures that caused the company to lower earnings guidance. We believe the market overreacted and continue to like the company’s potential to gain share in different markets as private-label hygiene products take share from branded products in Europe and as more emerging market consumers purchase disposable diapers. (1)

Q. How did the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and initial public offerings (IPOs), if any, impact performance?

A. The strategy did not hold derivatives. The strategy participated in three IPOs, Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc., which contributed 47 basis points to performance, The Lovesac Co., which contributed 16 basis points, and Gates Industrial Corp. PLC, which detracted 6 basis points. (1)

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Janus Henderson Enterprise Portfolio returned 5.31% versus 5.40% for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index.

Effective May 1, 2018, Janus Capital Management LLC (“Janus”) replaced the Portfolio’s previous sub-adviser, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“Goldman Sachs”). In conjunction with the change in sub-adviser, the name of the Portfolio was changed from Mid Cap Opportunity Portfolio to ON Janus Henderson Enterprise Portfolio. The Portfolio’s benchmark was unchanged.

For the period from January 1, 2018 to April 30, 2018 (the “first four-month period”), the Portfolio was known as the Mid Cap Opportunity Portfolio, and was sub-advised by Goldman Sachs. During the first four-month period, the Portfolio returned 1.66% versus 1.21% for the Russell Midcap Growth Index.

For the period from May 1, 2018 to June 30, 2018 (the “latter two-month period”), the Portfolio was sub-advised by Janus. During this period, the Portfolio returned 3.59% versus 4.14% for the Russell Midcap Growth Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. Goldman Sachs: Stock selection was the primary driver of the Portfolio’s outperformance during the first four-month period. Strong stock selection in the Information Technology sector drove much of the outperformance.

A. Janus: The market was led by a narrow subset of consumer internet, medical technology and Software-as-a-Service companies during the latter two-month period. Many of these stocks trade at excessively high valuations or are yet to produce earnings. On a relative basis, the Portfolio’s performance was hurt by not owning some of these stocks, or reducing existing positions into strength, but we are comfortable with our positioning and refuse to own stocks indiscriminately. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Goldman Sachs: During the first four-month period, stock selection within the Information Technology and Financials sectors contributed most to relative returns, while stock selection within the Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors detracted most from relative returns.

A. Janus: Stock selection did not contribute to, nor detract from, relative performance in the latter two-month period. An overweight to the Financials sector hurt performance. Our reasons for the overweight are stock-specific and not reflective of a view on the broader sector. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. Goldman Sachs: Intuit, Inc. was a top contributor to relative returns for the first four-month period. The company released positive numbers following the 2017 tax filing season in which it reported further market share gains while also raising its full-year consumer tax guidance. Intuit’s has continued to gain market share in the Do-It-Yourself (“DIY”) tax space and the company’s deep product line and growing customer base have been viewed as encouraging signs of further growth.

GoDaddy, Inc. Class A (“GoDaddy”), a web hosting services company, was also a top contributor for the first four-month period. The company reported strong fourth quarter results and gave impressive guidance for both the first quarter and full year of 2018. Continued customer engagement and expansion of its product portfolio drove organic revenue growth that exceeded investor expectations. GoDaddy is a high-quality company that has consistently executed and been able to deliver durable earnings growth at an attractive valuation.

Valvoline, Inc. (“Valvoline”) was a top detractor from relative returns for the first four-month period. In early February, the company announced mixed quarterly results. Same store sales were strong with positive store traffic and good sales growth. However, higher commodity prices and performance in the core North American and International segments dragged on earnings. Despite the macro headwinds, the company has multiple sales growth drivers and is gaining market share among mechanics.

Hubbell, Inc. (“Hubbell”), a company that designs, manufactures and sells electrical and electronic products, was also a top detractor from relative returns for the four-month period. The stock came under pressure in April following its earnings announcement, in which it reported in-line earnings but slightly weaker than expected margins. The results were driven by challenging pricing in select markets and cost pressures.

A. Janus: Relative Contributors:

athenahealth, Inc., the top contributor during the latter two-month period, provides cloud-based business services for physician practices and hospitals. We think its products have the potential to remove

WEX, Inc. (“WEX”), the second largest contributor, provides payment processing and information management services to vehicle fleets. We believe that WEX has earned its leading market share position through differentiated back-end reporting, bill pay consolidation features and complex analytics. In addition, we estimate that it would take significant effort for competitors to achieve similar transaction fees. (1)

Boston Scientific Corp. was the third largest contributor. We are encouraged by the medical device maker’s initiatives to boost its product pipeline, operating margins and revenue growth. New product launches, especially in the cardiovascular field, have been encouraging. (1)

Relative Detractors:

Align Technology, Inc.: Not owning this benchmark constituent was the Portfolio’s largest detractor from relative performance during the period. (1)

TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. (“TD Ameritrade”): TD Ameritrade reported a decent first quarter in April, but the stock traded down after its quarterly earnings report due to less than perfect transparency around expenses. The company announced that its 2018 expenses would be marginally higher than previous guidance as acquisition related costs were higher than expected. However, its management was expecting the cost synergies from the Scottrade acquisition to be better than expected. We believe the online broker is a best-in-class asset gatherer. Going forward, we believe that the retirement wave of baby boomers is a tailwind for companies such as TD Ameritrade, as financial assets will likely move from defined contribution plans to rollover IRAs. (1)

Illumina, Inc.: The company develops, manufactures and markets integrated systems for the analysis of genetic variation and biological function. Not owning the stock in the Portfolio was a relative detractor. (1)

Q. How did the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and initial public offerings (IPOs), if any, impact performance?

A. Goldman Sachs: The Portfolio did not utilize derivatives during the period. The Portfolio participated in two IPOs during the period: Dropbox, Inc. and Hudson Ltd. Class A. The Portfolio’s position in Dropbox, Inc. contributed 5 basis points to relative performance during the first four-month period while the Portfolio’s position in Hudson LTD detracted 4 basis points from relative performance during that period.

A. Janus: The Portfolio did not hold any derivatives or participate in any IPOs during the latter two-month period. (1)

Objective/Strategy

The ON S&P 500® Index Portfolio (formerly the S&P 500® Index Portfolio) seeks total return approximating that of the Standard & Poor’s 500® Index (S&P 500® Index), including reinvestment of dividends, at a risk level consistent with that of the S&P 500® Index by investing, under normal circumstances, more than 80% of its assets in the securities included in the S&P 500® Index.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Total return figures include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month end, call toll-free 1-877-781-6392.

The Portfolio is not open to direct retail investment. Beneficial interest in shares is obtained solely by purchase of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts. Actual performance results for variable annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges.

Total expense ratio is 0.38% per the Fund’s prospectus dated May 1, 2018. Additional information pertaining to the Portfolio’s expense ratio as of June 30, 2018 can be found in the Portfolio’s Financial Highlights.

 

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON S&P 500® Index Portfolio returned 2.44% versus 2.65% for its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. The Portfolio intends to track the underlying return of the S&P 500® Index. There were no material market events or changes in strategy for the period that impacted the Portfolio’s relative return. Sources of performance variance were related to the cumulative impact of investing the day-to-day cash flows in the Portfolio.

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. There was no impact from either sector or stock selection that caused any significant performance variance between the Portfolio and its benchmark. Information Technology, which is the largest sector in the benchmark, contributed the most for the period. Consumer Discretionary contributed to the return as well. Consumer Staples and Financials were laggards for the period. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

 

A. The largest contributors to the Portfolio and benchmark returns for the period were Amazon.com, Inc., Microsoft Corp., and Apple, Inc. The combined weight of the three contributors was approximately 10%. The largest detractors from the Portfolio and benchmark returns for the period were Philip Morris International, Inc., AT&T, Inc., and Johnson & Johnson. Those constituents, in aggregate, make up about 3.0% of the benchmark. (1)

Q. How did the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and initial public offerings (IPOs), if any, impact performance?

A. The Portfolio uses S&P 500® Index futures contracts primarily to equitize open dividend receivables, as well as to manage day-to-day cash flows to ensure the Portfolio is fully invested. The futures did not meaningfully impact performance, however, due to their index characteristics and size in relation to Portfolio net assets. (1)

Q. Were there any significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the reporting period?

A. The Portfolio management team added two new members during the period, bringing the total team to a staff of eight. There were no material changes to the investment strategy or stock selection process during this reporting period.

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio returned -4.64% versus 1.02% for its benchmark, the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index (“DJSDI”).

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. Volatility returned to the market in the first half of the year, brought on by heightened concerns surrounding Federal Reserve (“Fed”) rate hikes and escalating trade rhetoric. In late March and June, this seemed to have dampened the market’s “risk-on” posture as investor sentiment reversed and defensive stocks were in favor. Despite these periods when the “risk-off” appetite was apparent, for the overall period, the notable pro-cyclical trade still prevailed in the broad market. An area of relative weakness versus the benchmark was the market cap dispersion. The Portfolio’s mega cap tilt versus the benchmark’s mid cap tilt penalized relative performance, as the highest quintile of market cap only returned 0.19% in the index. (1)

The Portfolio remains focused on its core objectives of providing investors with a stable, high and rising income stream from high quality investments, evidenced by the Portfolio’s gross weighted average dividend yield of 4.66% at quarter end. This exceeded not only the yield of the broad market, represented by the S&P 500 Index with its 1.95% yield, and the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note (2.85%) , but it also surpassed the 3.87% yield of the DJSDI, which aims to reflect the domestic high dividend-paying universe. Further enhancing the dividend yield, there was robust dividend growth during the year as 23 companies increased their dividend payments. The most notable increases were derived from Abbvie, Inc. (35.2%), PepsiCo, Inc. (15.2%), Paychex, Inc. (12.0%), British

American Tobacco PLC, (11.8%), Imperial Brands PLC (10.0%), United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B (9.6%), Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (8.6%), Philip Morris International, Inc. (6.5%) and Exxon Mobil Corp. (6.5%). (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. The strategy focuses on the dividend-rich segments of the economy such as Consumer Staples, Health Care, Telecommunication Services and Utilities, as reflected in the strategy’s substantial holdings in these sectors. Therefore, the strategy maintains a structural underweight in cyclical sectors that afford little to no dividend growth opportunities. The Portfolio has limited exposure to Industrials, Information Technology, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary. Further, the DJSDI has an outsized average weight in the Utilities sector, which creates notable dispersion in periods when that sector greatly underperforms or outperforms in the period. (1)

The primary driver of relative weakness was the Portfolio’s stock selections in Telecommunication Services, as its 16% average exposure to the sector generated a -12.32% return. Among the defensive, dividend-fertile sectors, Telecommunication Services experienced the largest sector decline in May, as the 10-year Treasury hit 3.07%. AT&T, Inc., which returned -15.12% in the period, was also impacted by concerns around the closing of the Time Warner acquisition. Additionally, Vodafone Group PLC - ADR shares fell after the company announced a CEO change, which overshadowed positive earnings. Relative performance was further hampered by the Portfolio’s stock selection and overweight in Consumer Staples, which was the weakest performing sector in the DJSDI. The underperformance in Consumer Staples was driven mainly by tobacco, as Phillip Morris International, Inc.’s disappointing quarterly results in its e-cigarette segment placed short-term pressure on the sector. Our tobacco holdings remain a vital part of our high quality, rising income stream strategy, as they provide a combined yield of 5.3%. They also have delivered exceptional dividend growth as Altria Group, Inc., British American Tobacco PLC, Imperial Brands PLC and Phillip Morris International, Inc. have raised their dividends by 14.8%, 11.8%, 10.0% and 9.6%, respectively, over the trailing twelve months. (1)

The Portfolio’s top contributor to relative performance for the period was stock selection and overweight in Health Care, as the Portfolio’s 10% average weight in pharmaceutical names generated a 6.72% return versus the 4% exposure in the DJSDI, which posted a 4.0% return, adding 44 basis points of relative performance. This outperformance was primarily driven by non-index name, GlaxoSmithKline PLC, which climbed 16.37% as the approval of new products and its agreement to acquire Novartis AG’s stake in consumer healthcare propelled investor enthusiasm. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. Top 3 Benchmark-Relative Contributors:

The Portfolio has no exposure to L Brands, Inc. Moreover, the strategy currently maintains no exposure to Consumer Discretionary due to the lack of reliable dividend growth and yield opportunities. GlaxoSmithKline PLC climbed, as the approval of new products and the agreement to acquire Novartis’ stake in the companies’ consumer healthcare joint venture has propelled investor enthusiasm. The Portfolio has no

exposure to Tupperware Brands Corp. Moreover, the strategy currently maintains no exposure to Consumer Discretionary due to the lack of reliable dividend growth and yield opportunities. (1)

Bottom 3 Benchmark-Relative Detractors:

Vodafone shares fell after the company announced a CEO change, which overshadowed positive earnings. Phillip Morris International, Inc.’s disappointing quarterly results in its e-cigarette segment placed short-term pressure on Tobacco industry names. The short-term pressure on Tobacco industry names negatively impacted Altria Group, Inc. (1)

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Federated High Income Bond Portfolio returned -0.57% versus 0.16% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. The total return for the high yield market for the six-month period was modestly positive, while most other fixed income asset classes generated negative returns. For example, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index returned 0.16% for the period compared to a -1.62% return for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Rising interest rates were the primary factor impacting all fixed income securities, as illustrated by the 53 basis points rise in 5-year U.S. Treasury securities and the 45 basis points increase for 10-year U.S. Treasury securities along the treasury yield curve. The high yield market’s strong relative returns are being driven by the higher yield inherent in high yield securities. While yield spreads ended the six-month period roughly where they began, the period saw considerable volatility. On the positive side, strong corporate earnings growth and very strong economic indicators such as employment and confidence measures put downward pressure on spreads. However, rhetoric of trade wars and a Federal Reserve that seems intent on returning to a normalized fed funds level weighed heavy on spread levels. The impact of these factors can be seen in the spread between high-yield bonds and U.S. Treasury

securities with comparable maturities, which according to the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Index, began the reporting period at 394 basis points and ended the period at 399 basis points after touching cycle lows of 354 basis points on April 18th. (1)

Within the benchmark, major industry sectors that substantially outperformed the overall benchmark included wireline telecommunications, oil field services, and pharmaceuticals. Major industry sectors that substantially underperformed the overall benchmark included banking, automotive, home construction, and food & beverage. From a credit quality perspective, the credit sensitive CCC-rated sector returned 3.17%, followed by the B-rated sector at 0.86%. The more interest rate sensitive BB-rated sector trailed, returning -1.77%.(1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For security selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Sector Allocation:

The Portfolio was negatively impacted by its underweight to the strong performing wireline telecommunications and oil field service sectors. The Portfolio was positively impacted by its underweight to the poor performing banking and home construction sectors and by its overweight to the strong performing pharmaceutical sector. The Portfolio was negatively impacted by its security selection during the period. While the Portfolio was overweight the outperforming CCC-rated sector, the Portfolio’s holdings in this quality sector tended to be in lower beta CCC’s while the strongest performers in the CCC category tended to be high risk, high beta securities. The Portfolio was most negatively impacted by security selection in the cable & satellite, media & entertainment, and metals & mining industry sectors. The Portfolio was positively impacted by security selection in the auto sector. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. Specific high yield issuers held by the Portfolio that positively impacted performance relative to the benchmark included Envision Healthcare Corp., a healthcare services company that agreed to be taken private, which will most likely result in the securities being retired. After a troubled past, the Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. appears to have stabilized operations, has refinanced near-term maturities, and continues to generate substantial free cash flow from operations. The company continues to focus on repaying debt to reduce leverage, which positively impacts overall credit quality. PetSmart, Inc. continues to struggle with sales at its brick and mortar stores, but is seeing strong online sales at its Chewy subsidiary that it recently acquired. (1)

Specific high yield issuers held by the Portfolio that negatively impacted performance relative to the benchmark included Acosta, Inc., a sales and marketing agency servicing consumer packaged goods (CPG) clients. The company has been negatively impacted by reduced marketing spend at some of their large CPG clients. CHS / Community Health Systems, Inc. (“CHS”), another detractor, is an operator of hospitals which has struggled to integrate and operate a large acquisition. CHS is actively selling assets to pay down debt but continues to struggle operationally. Adient Global Holdings Ltd. (“Adient”), a global automotive seat supplier was a third top detractor. The company, after being spun off as an independent company, has struggled to efficiently launch new products and rationalize its manufacturing base, leading to disappointing operating results.

The Portfolio is not open to direct retail investment. Beneficial interest in shares is obtained solely by purchase of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts. Actual performance results for variable annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges.

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON ClearBridge Small Cap Portfolio returned 5.50% versus 7.66% for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. There were no unusual conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s relative performance during the reporting period. Of course, we constantly monitor valuations and opportunities in the market, so that we can position the Portfolio optimally from a risk-return perspective. For example, our sector performance and weighting may change over a period, based on market conditions.

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Relative to the benchmark, stock selection was the main detractor from the Portfolio’s performance. Stock selection in the Materials, Energy and Financials sectors detracted the most from relative performance. An underweight allocation to the Health Care sector also detracted from relative returns. Meanwhile, stock selection in the Information Technology (“IT”), Industrials and Health Care sectors contributed positively to relative returns. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. HealthEquity, Inc. (“HealthEquity”), in the Health Care sector, is a health care savings provider and the top contributor. HealthEquity performed well during the first quarter as the company reported continued growth in the number and size of health savings accounts (HSAs) it manages. The results showed that HealthEquity’s differentiated platform and service continue to allow HealthEquity to outpace the growth of the market. We believe HealthEquity’s key differentiators will likely result in value creation that is yet to be fully reflected in the stock price. (1)

Q2 Holdings, Inc. (“Q2”), in the IT sector, was another to contributor, and provides cloud-based digital banking solutions to banks. Q2 delivered better than expected first-quarter results and raised guidance for the second quarter. The company has also made many new deals with Tier-1 banks and has a backlog of revenue to realize, much of it in the next 24 months. (1)

Encompass Health Corp., in the Health Care sector, was another contributor and is one of the country’s largest post-acute health care service providers. Encompass Health Corp. reported a strong first quarter, beating earnings expectations and raising guidance on the strength of solid operating results, a good balance sheet and easing regulatory burdens. (1)

Clearwater Paper Corp. (“Clearwater”), in the Materials sector, is a pulp and paper product manufacturer and top detractor. The stock fell significantly on first-quarter results that featured lower operating and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) margins and faces competitive pressure in retail tissue and rising input costs. We have been disappointed with Clearwater’s inability to improve margins, despite numerous initiatives to cut costs. The loss of a major customer (The Kroger Co.) appears to have left Clearwater as the marginal-cost supplier in the industry. With no remaining variant perception about the company, we exited the position in the second quarter.(1)

Smart Sand, Inc. (“Smart Sand”), in the Energy sector, provides industrial sand for use in hydraulic fracturing operations in the oil and gas industry and was the second largest detractor. Smart Sand has been benefiting from its cost advantage, its high percentage of capacity under take-or-pay contracts, its strong balance sheet and its large insider ownership. While the robust global economy is creating a healthy backdrop for the energy complex, concerns about an oversupply of sand have hurt Smart Sand, but we believe it will continue to earn good returns. (1)

REV Group, Inc. (“REV Group”), in the Industrials sector, manufactures specialty vehicles for fire, emergency, recreational and commercial uses, and was another detractor. REV Group suffered a sharp selloff in March after it posted its first year-over-year EBITDA margin degradation as a public company in its first quarter10-Q release. While margins improved in the company’s recovering recreation segment, they decreased in the more stable fire & emergency and commercial segments. Management blamed timing of large-scale purchases and shortages of truck chassis and kept fiscal year 2018 EBITDA guidance flat, as its backlog increased significantly, but the market was uncomfortable with the profit increase required in the second half of the year to reach its targets. We believe REV Group’s competitive position is still strong, but we are watching the company’s supply chain. (1)

Q. How did the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and initial public offerings (IPOs), if any, impact performance?

A. The Portfolio did not use derivatives during the period. During the period, the Portfolio invested in IPOs of nLight, Inc. (17 basis points of contribution), BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (12 basis points), Origin

Bancorp, Inc. (5 basis points), and Avalara, Inc. (1 basis point), each of which contributed positively to performance. Another IPO, Liberty Oilfield Services, Inc. Class A (-4 basis points), detracted. (1)

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. The Portfolio intends to track the underlying return of the Nasdaq-100® Index. There were no material market events or changes in strategy for the period that impacted the Portfolio’s relative return. Sources of performance variance were related to the cumulative impact of investing the day-to-day cash flows in the Portfolio. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. There was no impact from either sector or stock selection that caused any performance variance between the Portfolio and its benchmark. (1)

Information Technology, the largest sector, and Consumer Discretionary, significantly contributed to the strong benchmark return for the six-month period. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The largest contributors to the Portfolio and benchmark returns for the period were Amazon Inc., Microsoft Corp., and Apple, Inc. These three contributors account for roughly 30% of the index market capitalization. The largest detractors from the Portfolio and benchmark returns for the period were Comcast Corp. Class A, Celgene Corp., and The Kraft Heinz Co. The combined exposure for these three laggards were almost 4% in total benchmark and Portfolio weight. (1)

Q. How did the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and initial public offerings (IPOs), if any, impact performance?

A. The Portfolio uses Nasdaq-100® Index futures contracts primarily to equitize open dividend receivables, as well as to manage day-to-day cash flows to ensure the Portfolio is fully invested. The futures did not meaningfully impact performance, however, due to their index characteristics and size in relation to Portfolio net assets. (1)

Q. Were there any significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the reporting period?

A. The Portfolio management team added two new members during the period, bringing the total team to a staff of eight. There were no material changes to the investment strategy or stock selection process during this reporting period.

Ohio National Fund, Inc.    ON Bristol Portfolio (Unaudited)

 

Objective/Strategy

The ON Bristol Portfolio (formerly the Bristol Portfolio) seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies in terms of market capitalization.

Five years

     15.64%  

Ten years

     9.67%  

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Total return figures include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month end, call toll-free 1-877-781-6392.

The Portfolio is not open to direct retail investment. Beneficial interest in shares is obtained solely by purchase of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts. Actual performance results for variable annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges.

Total expense ratio is 0.82% per the Fund’s prospectus dated May 1, 2018. Additional information pertaining to the Portfolio’s expense ratio as of June 30, 2018 can be found in the Portfolio’s Financial Highlights.

 

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Bristol Portfolio returned 0.53% versus 2.65% for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. While market concerns regarding the impacts from trade conflicts between the U.S. and China, the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) nations, and the European Union affected the performance of both the benchmark and the ON Bristol Portfolio, stock selection contributed significantly to the underperformance in the first half of the year. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Stock selections in Industrials and Consumer Staples contributed to relative performance, while top detractors were stock selection within Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. Top relative contributors included an overweight position in Amazon.com, Inc., as the company reported significant profit upside, in part driven by upside in a new advertising growth driver. An underweight to QUALCOMM, Inc. contributed, as the Chinese government restarted the review of Qualcomm’s acquisition of NXP Semiconductors N.V. after

delays due to trade tensions. An overweight to CSX Corp. contributed, as the Company announced that it was on track to meet or exceed long-term operating margin goals despite a rocky start in 2017. (1)

Top detractors included Commscope Holding Co., Inc., as its management lowered guidance significantly due to significant price concessions to win contracts. Lincoln National Corp. showed underperformance similar to its life insurance peer group and fear of impacts from trade conflicts drove declines in longer-term U.S. interest rates. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Ltd. had a relatively weak recovery in Eastern Caribbean bookings after the 2017 hurricanes. (1)

Ohio National Fund, Inc.   ON Bryton Growth Portfolio (Unaudited)

 

Objective/Strategy

The ON Bryton Growth Portfolio (formerly the Bryton Growth Portfolio) seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of growth-oriented U.S. companies smaller than the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. companies in terms of market capitalization.

 

Performance as of June 30, 2018

 

Average Annual returns

  

One year

     26.64%  

Five years

     12.77%  

Ten years

     8.72%  

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Total return figures include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month end, call toll-free 1-877-781-6392.

The Portfolio is not open to direct retail investment. Beneficial interest in shares is obtained solely by purchase of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts. Actual performance results for variable annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges.

Total expense ratio is 0.98% per the Fund’s prospectus dated May 1, 2018. Additional information pertaining to the Portfolio’s expense ratio as of June 30, 2018 can be found in the Portfolio’s Financial Highlights.

 

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Bryton Growth Portfolio returned 15.25% versus 9.70% for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. While market concerns regarding the impacts from trade conflicts between the U.S. and China, the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) nations, and the European Union have impacted the benchmark, the ON Bryton Growth Portfolio has continued to outperform, as stock selection contributed significantly to outperformance. Additionally, small cap stocks are generally seen as more immune to the international saber rattling, as they are more domestically oriented. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Stock selection in Information Technology and Health Care contributed to the Portfolio’s relative outperformance, while top detractors were sector allocation within Industrials and stock selection within Materials. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The top relative contributor was Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. After doing an additional equity offering during the first quarter, which put the company’s balance sheet on more stable footing, the company has beaten and raised guidance twice due to share gains from Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic PLC. Loxo Oncology Inc., another contributor, had positive data on its cancer drug while its primary competitor, Blueprint Medicines Corporation, had less positive data. Coupa Software, Inc. beat and raised guidance throughout the year, and is well positioned to be the leader in cloud software in the procurement and expense management software vertical. The Portfolio was overweight in all three positions. (1)

Top detractors included Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc., as concerns regarding side effects for their main antibiotic pipeline drug have resulted in an Advisory Committee prior to the drug approval, which increased the risk that the drug is not approved. Healthcare Services Group, Inc., another detractor, reported a weak first quarter due to two customer restructurings, which resulted in a charge to earnings, to account for an increase in its accounts receivables allowance. Finally, U.S. Concrete, Inc., the third largest detractor, experienced bad weather in the first quarter, which resulted in the company missing earnings expectations; weather has since improved, but new concerns regarding cost inflation, and Caterpillar’, Inc.’s comments regarding being near a “peak” in the cycle (construction being one part of their business) has resulted in the stock underperforming.

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON ICON Balanced Portfolio returned 0.59% versus 1.12% for its benchmark, which is comprised of 60% S&P Composite 1500 Index and 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Universal Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. ICON uses its valuation methodology to attempt to capture industry and sector leadership themes that typically last one to two years. During the first half of 2018, the stock market finished only slightly higher than where it started, and featured both up and down movements, generally lasting four to ten weeks at a time, as well as industry and sector theme reversals. The ICON valuation methodology does not attempt to “time” rapid, short-term theme changes, like those experienced in the first half of the year. In early May, ICON’s calculation of the broad market’s fair value increased to a level that led us adjust the equity/bond allocation from 60/40 to 65/35. As the S&P Composite 1500 Index was up about 2.5% from that point in time, we believe the move helped overall performance.(1)

The fixed income portion of the Portfolio performed slightly higher than its benchmark. This relative performance was primarily due to its short duration, which generally ranged in the three to three and a half year area. The Portfolio continued to focus on credit spread risk with a particular focus on shorter duration. The Portfolio’s fixed income volatility remained relatively low. The Portfolio’s use of closed end fund arbitrage was rewarded, as several of these positions converted to open-end funds or liquidated during the period, capturing the original discount to net asset value at which they had been acquired. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For security selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. Focusing on the equity portion of the Portfolio, the two biggest sector contributors were over-weights in the Information Technology and Health Care sectors, with positive security selection in each sector. The Portfolio held securities from only seven of the fourteen industries in the Information Technology sector and six of the ten industries in the Health Care sector. Other favorable sector positions were underweight positions in Consumer Staples and no positions from the Telecommunication Services or Real Estate sectors. (1)

Selection within equity securities and the Portfolio’s cash positions were the main cause of the Portfolio’s underperformance. The main equity detractor was the poorly performing selections within the Consumer Discretionary sector. (1)

In the fixed income portion of the Portfolio, we continued our focus on high coupon yield to call corporate securities and closed end fund event driven arbitrage. The Portfolio also increased its position in preferred stocks. The resulting short duration and positive alpha contributed positive returns to the Portfolio in an environment where many fixed income portfolios struggled to produce positive returns. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The three biggest individual stock contributors to performance were Adobe Systems Inc., MasterCard, Inc. Class A, and Boston Scientific Corporation. The first two are from the Information Technology sector, while the third is in the Health Care sector. (1)

The three biggest detractors on an individual stock basis were Thor Industries, Inc. and D.R. Horton, Inc., from the Consumer Discretionary sector, and Masco Corp. from the Materials sector. All three stocks were victims of a similar concern, as investors feared higher interest rates would hurt sales of recreational vehicles, new homes and building materials, respectively. We believe these fears will be proven to be unfounded. (1)

Q. How did the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and initial public offerings (IPOs), if any, impact performance?

A. The Portfolio purchased put options on the S&P 500 Index to help dampen the effects of potential market declines. For the six-month period, these positions detracted approximately 0.27% from the Portfolio.

Objective/Strategy

The ON S&P MidCap 400® Index Portfolio (formerly the S&P MidCap 400® Index Portfolio) seeks total return approximating that of the Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400® Index (S&P MidCap 400® Index), including reinvestment of dividends, at a risk level consistent with that of the S&P MidCap 400® Index by investing, under normal circumstances, more than 80% of its assets in the securities included in the S&P MidCap 400® Index.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Total return figures include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month end, call toll-free 1-877-781-6392.

The Portfolio is not open to direct retail investment. Beneficial interest in shares is obtained solely by purchase of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts. Actual performance results for variable annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges.

Total expense ratio is 0.71% per the Fund’s prospectus dated May 1, 2018. Additional information pertaining to the Portfolio’s expense ratio as of June 30, 2018 can be found in the Portfolio’s Financial Highlights.

 

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON S&P MidCap 400® Index Portfolio returned 3.21% versus 3.49% for the benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400® Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. The Portfolio intends to track the underlying return of the S&P Midcap 400® Index. There were no material market events or changes in strategy for the period that impacted the Portfolio’s relative return. Sources of variance were related to the cumulative impact of investing the day-to-day cash flows in the Portfolio. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. There was no impact from either sector or stock selection that caused any significant performance variance between the Portfolio and its benchmark.(1)

Health Care contributed the most to the benchmark return, followed by Information Technology and Energy. Only three sectors had negative returns for the period: Industrials, Materials, and Telecommunication Services. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The largest contributors to the Portfolio and benchmark returns for the period were ABIOMED, Inc., Bioverative, Inc., and Domino’s Pizza, Inc. These top three contributors made up just over 1% of the Portfolio’s return. The largest detractors from the Portfolio and benchmark returns for the period were Coherent, Inc., Cognex Corp., and ManpowerGroup, Inc. (1)

Q. How did the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and initial public offerings (IPOs), if any, impact performance?

A. The Portfolio uses S&P MidCap 400® Index futures contracts primarily to equitize open dividend receivables, as well as to manage day-to-day cash flows to ensure the Portfolio is fully invested. The futures did not meaningfully impact performance, however, due to their index characteristics and size in relation to Portfolio net assets. (1)

Q. Were there any significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the reporting period?

A. The portfolio management team added two new members during the period, bringing the total team to a staff of eight. There were no material changes to the investment strategy or stock selection process during this reporting period.

Hypothetical illustration based on past performance. Future performance will vary. The Portfolio’s returns reflect reinvested dividends. The Portfolio’s holdings may differ significantly from the securities in the index. The index is unmanaged and therefore does not reflect the cost of portfolio management and accounting.

The S&P MidCap 400® Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 400 common stocks representing all major industries in the mid-range of the U.S. stock market. The index presented includes the effects of reinvested dividends.

Prior to December 16, 2016, the Portfolio was known as the Target VIP Portfolio. The strategy of the Target VIP Portfolio was to seek above average total return by investing in common stocks of companies which were identified by a model that applied separate uniquely specialized strategies.

Comments from Sub-Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Bristol Growth Portfolio returned 3.84% versus 7.25% for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. While market concerns regarding the impacts from trade conflicts between the U.S. and China, the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) nations, and the European Union affected the performance of the both the benchmark and the ON Bristol Growth Portfolio, stock selection contributed significantly to the underperformance in the first half of the year. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For stock selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. The Portfolio’s underperformance was led by stock selection within Information Technology and Financials. Stock selection in Industrials and an overweight in Consumer Staples contributed to relative performance. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. Top contributors included salesforce.com, Inc. due to its upside in earnings expectations, driven in part by strong adoption of new artificial intelligence (“AI”) functionality, where it is significantly ahead of the

competition. Additionally, demand was stronger in its newer businesses: marketing management and e-commerce software solutions. The Boeing Co. contributed on stronger deliveries, orders and operating margin that continues to position the company to make as much as $30 per share in free cash flow in 2020. QUALCOMM, Inc. contributed, as the Chinese government restarted the review of Qualcomm’s acquisition of NXP Semiconductors N.V. after delays due to trade tensions. (1)

Top detractors included Commscope Holding Co., Inc., as positive earnings revisions indicated upside to its U.S. wireless capital expenditures, but the company’s management lowered guidance significantly due to significant price concessions to win contracts. Philip Morris International, Inc. detracted, as its management reduced its reduced-risk-product growth outlook due to unexpected slowdown in growth in its core Japanese market, which raises significant doubts about continued adoption. Allergan PLC detracted as Revance Therapeutics, Inc. and Mylan N.V. announced a collaboration to develop a Botox generic to target therapeutic indications, which provided increased competition for Allergan PLC’s Botox product much sooner than expected.

Comments from Sub-Advisers

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Risk Managed Balanced Portfolio returned 1.23% versus 0.79% for its benchmark, which is comprised of 55% S&P 500 Index and 45% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. The Portfolio outperformed its benchmark during the period. Equities outperformed fixed income, and the Portfolio’s overweight to equity securities was a large driver of the overall outperformance. (1)

Within the Portfolio’s fixed income sleeve, concern over rising rates, stretched valuations, and elevated merger and acquisition activity and commensurate supply led us to diversify our spread product exposure. This proved beneficial, as our allocations to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) aided relative results. The composition of our investment-grade corporate credit allocation also contributed to relative outperformance. Our underweight allocation to Treasuries hindered performance, as investors flocked to high quality assets on multiple occasions. Rising trade tensions and the formation of a euro-sceptic coalition government in Italy were the primary causes of volatility. As spreads widened, our out-of-index allocation to high-yield corporate credit also detracted. (1)

Q. How did sector allocation and security selection each impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark? For sector allocation, were there any factors that impacted the benchmark’s performance

more significantly than the Portfolio’s performance? For security selection, was there anything specific regarding the Portfolio’s strategy that caused deviation from the benchmark?

A. In the equity sleeve, security selection drove relative outperformance. Security selection was strongest in Information Technology, Industrials and Consumer Staples. Within Industrials, gains were partially offset by our overweight allocation, as trade policy negotiations pressured the broader sector. Security selection in the strong-performing Consumer Discretionary sector was the largest detractor from relative results. We did not own select large index constituents that we believed were expensive, given their limited free-cash-flow generation. (1)

In the fixed income sleeve, security selection was a strong contributor to relative performance. Our asset allocation detracted, primarily due to our out-of-index high-yield exposure as spreads widened, and our large underweight to Treasuries amid bouts of volatility. At the corporate credit sector level, Pharmaceuticals and Electric Utilities were among the largest relative contributors. Our yield curve positioning and underweight allocations in both sectors benefited relative results. As yields rose, some of our intermediate-dated banking positions weighed on relative results, leading that sector to be the largest relative sector-level detractor. Yield curve positioning and an overweight allocation led the Aerospace & Defense sector to also detract. (1)

Q. How did the Risk Management Component impact the Portfolio’s performance during the period?

A. The Portfolio’s Risk Management Component, sub-advised by AnchorPath Financial LLC, is a sleeve of derivatives and cash equivalents that seeks to enhance the risk adjusted return of the Portfolio. Under normal circumstances, the Risk Management Component will represent approximately 20% of the Portfolio. Over the first half of 2018, this allocation ranged between 17.6% and 19.6%, and ended the period representing approximately 18.4% of the Portfolio. (1)

The Portfolio’s performance is enhanced on a risk-adjusted basis when the aggregate Portfolio achieves lower volatility with similar returns, or higher returns at similar volatility compared to the benchmark. During the six-month period, as compared to the Balanced Component, the aggregate Portfolio’s realized volatility was lower by 0.2% and the cumulative return was lower by -1.7%. Due to the relatively similar volatility and lower return achieved, the risk-adjusted return of the aggregate Portfolio was not enhanced compared to the Balanced Component. The under-performance of the Risk Management Component was attributable to losses on Treasury futures positions and index-based options resulting from the time decay of premium value. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. Equity Contributors:

 

 

Multinational financial services corporation Mastercard, Inc. Class A was the Portfolio’s top individual contributor. The stock is a longtime holding in the Portfolio and we continue to see our investment thesis play out, as the company benefits from consumers and businesses switching from cash and check to plastic and electronic payments. Mastercard is also poised to benefit from growth outside of the U.S., where many markets have a lower penetration of card and electronic payments and are experiencing significantly faster electronic purchase volume growth. Better-than-expected revenue growth and increasing payment volumes drove the stock higher during the period. (1)

 

 

Computer software company Adobe Systems, Inc. (“Adobe”) also performed well. Adobe has benefited from secular shifts towards Software as a Service (SaaS) and digital media. Indeed, revenue growth driven by its subscription-based services helped propel the

 

 

   97    (continued)


Ohio National Fund, Inc.    ON Risk Managed Balanced Portfolio (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

stock higher during the period. We continue to see upside for the stock, as the subscription-based model increases Adobe’s total assessable digital media market, and more advertisers rely on its software to create digital content. (1)

Fixed Income Contributor:

 

 

CVS Health Corp. (“CVS”) was a leading corporate credit contributor. We participated in CVS’ large investment-grade bond issuance during the period, which will help the company fund its acquisition of health insurer Aetna, Inc. The company has aggressive plans to de-lever its balance sheet post-acquisition, and we believe its broad suite of services should position the company to be a long-term leader in the Health Care sector as it focuses on lowering costs and improving patient outcomes. (1)

Equity Detractors:

 

 

Not owning the outperforming benchmark component Amazon.com, Inc. was the top relative detractor. (1)

 

 

Altria Group, Inc. (“Altria”) led relative detractors of the positions held by the Portfolio. The stock fell during the period on weaker cigarette volumes, which were partially driven by rising excise taxes in California. We continue to hold the position, as the decline in cigarette volumes has slowed, and the company continues to build out its portfolio of e-cigarettes, which is a growing marketplace with evolving preferences and product offerings. We believe Altria’s cash flows should grow moderately as the company improves margins and grows the non-cigarette business. We also appreciate Altria’s high dividend yield. (1)

 

 

Comcast Corp. Class A also detracted. The stock was down due to concern and confusion over the company’s bid for Sky Network Television Ltd., a European pay-tv provider. We continue to see upside for the stock, and like its position as a cable distribution platform and owner of strong content assets. (1)

Fixed Income Detractor:

 

 

Some of our banking positions detracted during the period. The sector had benefited considerably in 2017 on improving fundamentals and tighter spreads, but the recent flattening of the yield curve caused concerns around potential compression of banks’ net interest margins. Our overweight position in Goldman Sachs Capital I was among the leading credit detractors, largely due to these broader industry concerns. (1)

Q. How did the Portfolio’s use of derivative instruments and initial public offerings (IPOs), if any, impact overall Portfolio performance?

A. The Risk Management Component detracted 1.2% to the absolute return of the aggregate Portfolio during the period, primarily due to the use of derivative instruments. Treasury futures detracted 1.4% and options strategies detracted 0.3% to the aggregate Portfolio, while equity futures contributed 0.5%. (1)

Ohio National Fund, Inc.    ON Conservative Model Portfolio (Unaudited)

 

Objective/Strategy

The ON Conservative Model Portfolio is a fund of funds that seeks current income and preservation of capital by investing in underlying mutual funds. Under normal circumstances, the Portfolio intends to have investment exposure to various asset classes within the following target asset allocation ranges: U.S. Equity 0-25%, International Equity 0-10%, and Fixed Income 65-90%.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Total return figures include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month end, call toll-free 1-877-781-6392.

The Portfolio is not open to direct retail investment. Beneficial interest in shares is obtained solely by purchase of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts. Actual performance results for variable annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges.

Total gross expense ratio is estimated to be 1.08% per the Fund’s prospectus dated May 1, 2018. Additional information pertaining to the Portfolio’s expense ratio as of June 30, 2018 can be found in the Portfolio’s Financial Highlights. The Portfolio’s expense ratio included in the Financial Highlights does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (AFFE), which is a major component of the expense ratio that is required to be presented in the Fund’s prospectus. The Adviser has contractually agreed to make payments to the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the Portfolio’s expense ratio (including AFFE, but excluding certain other expenses) at 0.87% through April 30, 2019.

 

Comments from Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Conservative Model Portfolio returned -1.42% versus -0.85% for its benchmark, the Morningstar® Conservative Target Risk Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. During the first half of 2018, domestic equity markets provided positive returns, while foreign equity markets were mostly negative, after adjusting for currency translation. Small cap stocks generally outperformed mid cap and large cap stocks, and growth stocks materially outperformed value stocks during the period. The Portfolio’s underweight to foreign stocks benefited performance vs. the benchmark, while the overweight to value stocks detracted from performance vs. the benchmark.(1)

Fixed income markets generally provided negative returns for the period. Long-term interest rates increased, while the Federal Reserve continued to increase short-term interest rates. In this environment, shorter duration bonds outperformed longer duration bonds. Corporate credit spreads widened, and lower quality bonds underperformed higher quality bonds during the period. Corporate bonds generally

underperformed other sectors of the bond market. The Portfolio’s overweight to inflation linked bonds benefited performance vs. the benchmark, while the underweight to short-term bonds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark. (1)

Q. How did asset class allocation impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark?

A. The Portfolio invests in affiliated and unaffiliated open-end mutual funds, comprised mostly of fixed income funds, but also some equity funds. The asset allocation between fixed income funds and equity funds was roughly in-line with the benchmark. On the equity side, the overweight allocation to large cap domestic equity funds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark, which has a larger allocation to mid cap and small cap funds. On the fixed income side, the overweight allocation to intermediate bonds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark, while the allocation underweight to long bonds aided performance relative to the benchmark during the period. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The top three performing funds in the Portfolio were the Ohio National Fund, Inc. – ON S&P 500® Index Portfolio (“ON S&P 500® Index Portfolio”), PIMCO Total Return Institutional fund, and the PIMCO Low Duration Institutional fund. The ON S&P 500® Index Portfolio is comprised of stocks that represent a large percentage of the U.S. domestic equity market, which performed well. The PIMCO Total Return Institutional fund benefited from its shorter duration and exposure to higher quality bonds. The PIMCO Low Duration Institutional fund benefited from its shorter duration in a rising interest rate environment. (1)

The three funds that detracted from performance vs. the benchmark were the Ohio National Fund, Inc. – ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio (“ON Federated Strategic Value Portfolio”), the Templeton Foreign Class R6 fund, and the Ohio National Fund, Inc. – ON Bond Portfolio (“ON Bond Portfolio”). The ON Federated Strategic Value Portfolio is focused on dividend stocks, which underperformed the broader market. The Templeton Foreign Class R6 fund is a deep value international fund, which detracted in a market where value stocks and international stocks underperformed. The ON Bond Portfolio is a corporate bond fund, which was negatively affected by higher interest rates and wider corporate bond spreads. (1)

Q. Were there any significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the reporting period?

A. There were no significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the period. There were asset allocation changes made during the period that increased exposure to equity index funds, decreased exposure to value stocks and decreased exposure to balanced funds. (1)

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Total return figures include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month end, call toll-free 1-877-781-6392.

The Portfolio is not open to direct retail investment. Beneficial interest in shares is obtained solely by purchase of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts. Actual performance results for variable annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges.

Total gross expense ratio is estimated to be 1.07% per the Fund’s prospectus dated May 1, 2018. Additional information pertaining to the Portfolio’s expense ratio as of June 30, 2018 can be found in the Portfolio’s Financial Highlights. The Portfolio’s expense ratio included in the Financial Highlights does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (AFFE), which is a major component of the expense ratio that is required to be presented in the Fund’s prospectus. The Adviser has contractually agreed to make payments to the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the Portfolio’s expense ratio (including AFFE, but excluding certain other expenses) at 0.92% through April 30, 2019.

 

Comments from Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio returned -1.59% versus -0.53% for its benchmark, the Morningstar® Moderately Conservative Target Risk Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. During the first half of 2018, domestic equity markets provided positive returns, while foreign equity markets were mostly negative, after adjusting for currency translation. Small cap stocks generally outperformed mid cap and large cap stocks, and growth stocks materially outperformed value stocks during the period. The Portfolio’s underweight to foreign stocks benefited performance vs. the benchmark, while the overweight to value stocks detracted from performance vs. the benchmark. (1)

Fixed income markets generally provided negative returns for the period. Long-term interest rates increased, while the Federal Reserve continued to increase short-term interest rates. In this environment, shorter duration bonds outperformed longer duration bonds. Corporate credit spreads widened, and lower quality bonds underperformed higher quality bonds during the period. In this environment, corporate bonds generally underperformed other sectors of the bond market. The

Portfolio’s overweight to inflation linked bonds benefited performance vs. the benchmark, while the underweight to short-term bonds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark. (1)

Q. How did asset class allocation impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark?

A. The Portfolio invests in affiliated and unaffiliated open-end mutual funds, comprised mostly of fixed income funds, but also equity funds. The asset allocation to equity funds was slightly higher than the benchmark, which benefited the Portfolio slightly vs. the benchmark. On the equity side, the overweight allocation to large cap domestic equity funds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark, which has a larger allocation to mid cap and small cap funds. On the fixed income side, the overweight allocation to intermediate bonds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark, while the allocation underweight to long bonds aided performance relative to the benchmark during the period. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The top three performing funds in the Portfolio were the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio (“ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio”), the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Bristol Growth Portfolio (“ON Bristol Growth Portfolio”), and the Fidelity Advisor® Mid Cap II Class I fund. The ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio is comprised primarily of large cap growth stocks, which performed well during the period. Likewise, the ON Bristol Growth Portfolio is comprised mostly of growth stocks. The Fidelity Advisor® Mid Cap II Class I fund benefited from investing in the mid cap sector, which outperformed the large cap equity sector.(1)

The three funds that detracted from performance vs. the benchmark were the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio (“ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio”), the Templeton Foreign Class R6 fund, and the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Bond Portfolio (“ON Bond Portfolio”). The ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio is focused on dividend stocks, which underperformed the broader market. The Templeton Foreign Class R6 fund is a deep value international fund, in a market where value stocks and international stocks underperformed. The ON Bond Portfolio is a corporate bond fund, which was negatively affected by higher interest rates and wider corporate bond spreads. (1)

Q. Were there any significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the reporting period?

A. There were no significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the period. There were asset allocation changes made during the period that increased exposure to equity index and growth funds, decreased exposure to value stocks and decreased exposure to balanced funds.

Comments from Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Balanced Model Portfolio returned -1.30% versus -0.31% for its benchmark, the Morningstar® Moderate Target Risk Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. During the first half of 2018, domestic equity markets provided positive returns, while foreign equity markets were mostly negative, after adjusting for currency translation. Small cap stocks generally outperformed mid cap and large cap stocks, and growth stocks materially outperformed value stocks during the period. The Portfolio’s underweight to foreign stocks benefited performance vs. the benchmark, while the underweight to growth stocks detracted from performance vs. the benchmark. (1)

Fixed income markets generally provided negative returns for the period. Long-term interest rates increased, while the Federal Reserve continued to increase short-term interest rates. In this environment, shorter duration bonds outperformed longer duration bonds. Corporate credit spreads widened, and lower quality bonds underperformed higher quality bonds during the period. In this environment, corporate bonds

generally underperformed other sectors of the bond market. The Portfolio’s overweight to inflation linked bonds benefited performance vs. the benchmark, while the overweight to corporate bonds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark. (1)

Q. How did asset class allocation impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark?

A. The Portfolio invests in affiliated and unaffiliated open-end mutual funds, comprised of fixed income funds and equity funds. The asset allocation between fixed income funds and equity funds was roughly in-line with the benchmark. On the equity side, the overweight allocation to large cap domestic equity funds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark, which has a larger allocation to mid cap and small cap funds. On the fixed income side, the allocation underweight to long bonds aided performance relative to the benchmark during the period. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The top three performing funds in the Portfolio were the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio (“ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio”), the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON ClearBridge Small Cap Portfolio (“ON ClearBridge Small Cap Portfolio”), and the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON S&P MidCap 400® Index Portfolio (“ON S&P MidCap 400® Index Portfolio”). The ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio is comprised primarily of large cap growth stocks, which performed well during the period. Likewise, the ON ClearBridge Small Cap Portfolio benefited from the relative performance of small cap stocks and growth stocks in the Portfolio. Lastly, the ON S&P MidCap 400® Index Portfolio is comprised of mid cap stocks, which outperformed large cap stocks during the period. (1)

The three funds that detracted from performance verses the benchmark were Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Class R6 fund, the DFA Emerging Markets Portfolio Institutional fund, and the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio (“ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio”). The Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Class R6 fund and the DFA Emerging Markets Portfolio Institutional fund both performed poorly vs. the benchmark, as emerging market stocks underperformed during the period. The ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio is focused on dividend stocks, which underperformed the broader market. (1)

Q. Were there any significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the reporting period?

A. There were no significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the period. There were asset allocation changes made during the period that increased exposure to equity index and growth funds, decreased exposure to value stocks and decreased exposure to balanced funds.

Additional information pertaining to the Portfolio’s expense ratio as of June 30, 2018 can be found in the Portfolio’s Financial Highlights. The Portfolio’s expense ratio included in the Financial Highlights does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (AFFE), which is a major component of the expense ratio that is required to be presented in the Fund’s prospectus. The Adviser has contractually agreed to make payments to the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the Portfolio’s expense ratio (including AFFE, but excluding certain other expenses) at 1.04% through April 30, 2019.

 

Comments from Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Moderate Growth Model Portfolio returned -1.00% versus -0.03% for its benchmark, the Morningstar® Moderately Aggressive Target Risk Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. During the first half of 2018, domestic equity markets provided positive returns, while foreign equity markets were mostly negative, after adjusting for currency translation. Small cap stocks generally outperformed mid cap and large cap stocks, and growth stocks materially outperformed value stocks during the period. The Portfolio’s underweight to foreign stocks benefited performance vs. the benchmark, while the underweight to growth stocks detracted from performance vs. the benchmark. (1)

Fixed income markets generally provided negative returns for the period. Long-term interest rates increased, while the Federal Reserve continued to increase short-term interest rates. In this environment, shorter duration bonds outperformed longer duration bonds. Corporate credit spreads widened, and lower quality bonds underperformed higher quality bonds during the period. In this environment, corporate bonds generally underperformed other sectors of the bond market. The

 

Portfolio’s overweight to inflation linked bonds benefited performance vs. the benchmark, while the underweight to short-term bonds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark. (1)

Q. How did asset class allocation impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark?

A. The Portfolio invests in affiliated and unaffiliated open-end mutual funds, comprised mostly of equity funds, but also fixed income funds. The asset allocation between fixed income funds and equity funds was roughly in-line with the benchmark. On the equity side, the overweight allocation to large cap domestic equity funds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark, which has a larger allocation to mid cap and small cap funds. On the fixed income side, the allocation underweight to long bonds aided performance relative to the benchmark during the period. (1)

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The top three performing funds in the Portfolio were the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Bryton Growth Portfolio (“ON Bryton Growth Portfolio”), the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio (“ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio”), and the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON ClearBridge Small Cap Portfolio (“ON ClearBridge Small Cap Portfolio”). The ON Bryton Growth Portfolio benefited from its holdings in small cap stocks and its focus on growth stocks. The ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio is comprised primarily of large cap growth stocks, which performed well during the period. Likewise, the ON ClearBridge Small Cap Portfolio benefited from the relative performance of small cap stocks and growth stocks in the Portfolio. (1)

The three funds that detracted most from performance vs. the benchmark were the Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Class R6 fund, the DFA Emerging Markets Portfolio Institutional fund, and the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio (“ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio”). The Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Class R6 fund and the DFA Emerging Markets Portfolio Institutional fund both performed poorly vs. the benchmark, as emerging market stocks underperformed during the period. The ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio is focused on dividend stocks, which underperformed the broader market. (1)

Q. Were there any significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the reporting period?

A. There were no significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the period. There were asset allocation changes made during the period that increased exposure to equity index and growth funds, decreased exposure to value stocks and decreased exposure to balanced funds.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. Total return figures include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain performance information up to the most recent month end, call toll-free 1-877-781-6392.

The Portfolio is not open to direct retail investment. Beneficial interest in shares is obtained solely by purchase of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts. Actual performance results for variable annuity and variable universal life contracts will be lower due to contract charges. Consult your contract for applicable charges.

Total gross expense ratio is estimated to be 1.21% per the Fund’s prospectus dated May 1, 2018. Additional information pertaining to the Portfolio’s expense ratio as of June 30, 2018 can be found in the Portfolio’s Financial Highlights. The Portfolio’s expense ratio included in the Financial Highlights does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (AFFE), which is a major component of the expense ratio that is required to be presented in the Fund’s prospectus. The Adviser has contractually agreed to make payments to the Fund to the extent necessary to maintain the Portfolio’s expense ratio (including AFFE, but excluding certain other expenses) at 1.08% through April 30, 2019.

 

Comments from Adviser

Q. How did the Portfolio perform in comparison to its benchmark during the reporting period?

A. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the ON Growth Model Portfolio returned -0.63% versus 0.46% for its benchmark, the Morningstar® Aggressive Target Risk Index.

Q. Were there specific market conditions, investment strategies, or techniques that materially affected the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance during the reporting period?

A. During the first half of 2018, domestic equity markets provided positive returns, while foreign equity markets were mostly negative, after adjusting for currency translation. Small cap stocks generally outperformed mid cap and large cap stocks, and growth stocks materially outperformed value stocks during the period. The Portfolio’s underweight to foreign stocks benefited performance vs. the benchmark, while the underweight to growth stocks detracted from performance vs. the benchmark.

Fixed income markets generally provided negative returns for the period. Long-term interest rates increased, while the Federal Reserve continued to increase short-term interest rates. In this environment, shorter duration bonds outperformed longer duration bonds. Corporate credit spreads widened, and lower quality bonds underperformed higher quality bonds during the period. In this environment, corporate bonds generally underperformed other sectors of the bond market. The Portfolio’s overweight to inflation linked bonds benefited performance vs. the benchmark.

Q. How did asset class allocation impact the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark?

A. The portfolio invests in affiliated and unaffiliated open-end mutual funds, comprised mostly of equity funds, but also of fixed income funds. The asset allocation to equity funds was slightly below the benchmark, which detracted slightly from performance. On the equity side, the overweight allocation to large cap domestic equity funds detracted from performance vs. the benchmark, which has a larger allocation to mid cap and small cap funds. The Portfolio benefitted from an underweight to emerging market equity funds. On the fixed income side, the allocation overweight to corporate bonds detracted from performance relative to the benchmark during the period.

Q. Which holdings contributed the most to, and detracted the most from, the Portfolio’s benchmark-relative performance?

A. The top three performing funds in the Portfolio were the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Bryton Growth Portfolio (“ON Bryton Growth Portfolio”), the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio (“ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio”), and the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON ClearBridge Small Cap Portfolio (“ON ClearBridge Small Cap Portfolio”). The ON Bryton Growth Portfolio benefitted from its holdings in small cap stocks and its focus on growth stocks. The ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio is comprised primarily of large cap growth stocks, which performed well during the period. Likewise, the ON ClearBridge Small Cap Portfolio benefited from the relative performance of small cap stocks and growth stocks in the Portfolio.

The three funds that detracted from performance vs. the benchmark were the Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Class R6 fund, the DFA Emerging Markets Portfolio Institutional fund, and the Ohio National Fund, Inc. - ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio (“ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio”). The Lazard Emerging Markets Equity Class R6 fund and the DFA Emerging Markets Portfolio Institutional fund both performed poorly vs. the benchmark, as emerging market stocks underperformed during the period. The ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolio is focused on dividend stocks, which underperformed the broader market.

Q. Were there any significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the reporting period?

A. There were no significant changes to the Portfolio’s management team, investment strategy, or selection process during the period. There were asset allocation changes made during the period that increased exposure to equity index and growth funds, decreased exposure to value stocks and decreased exposure to balanced funds.

(a)

Effective May 1, 2017, the sub-adviser to the ON International Equity Portfolio changed from Federated Global Investment Management Corp. to Lazard Asset Management LLC, and the sub-adviser to the ON Foreign Portfolio changed from Federated Global Investment Management Corp. to Templeton Global Advisors Limited. Costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities associated with the changes in the sub-advisers contributed to higher portfolio turnover rates for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to prior years.

(b)

Initial Public Offering (IPO) investments had a significant impact on the total return in this period and such performance may be difficult to repeat.

(a)

Effective May 1, 2018, the sub-adviser changed from Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. to Janus Capital Management LLC. Costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities associated with the change in the sub-adviser contributed to a higher portfolio turnover rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 as compared to prior periods.

(b)

Initial Public Offering (IPO) investments had a significant impact on the total return in this period and such performance may be difficult to repeat.

(a)

Effective December 16, 2016, the sub-adviser to the Portfolio changed from First Trust Advisors L.P. to Geode Capital Management, LLC. Costs of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities associated with the change in the sub-adviser contributed to a higher portfolio turnover rate for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to prior years.

(b)

The portfolio turnover calculation includes purchases and sales from mortgage dollar roll transactions. Without the effect of mortgage dollar roll transactions, the portfolio turnover rate would have been 52% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, and 63% for the year ended December 31, 2017(see Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements).

At present, the Fund issues its shares to separate accounts of The Ohio National Life Insurance Company (“ONLIC”), Ohio National Life Assurance Corporation (“ONLAC”), and National Security Life and Annuity Company (“NSLA”) to support certain benefits under variable contracts issued by those entities, as well as for purchases by other Portfolios of the Fund. In the future, Fund shares may be used for other purposes but, unless there is a change in applicable law, they will not be sold directly to the public.

Interest in each Portfolio is represented by a separate class of the Fund’s capital stock, par value $1. Each share of a Portfolio participates equally in the Portfolio’s dividends, distributions, net assets, and voting matters.

The Fund is authorized to issue 1.55 billion of its capital shares. These authorized shares have been allocated to specific Portfolios of the Fund as follows:

The Board periodically reallocates authorized shares among the Portfolios of the Fund and may authorize additional shares as deemed necessary.

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the risk of loss to the Fund is expected to be remote.

Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

Investments are valued using pricing procedures approved by the Board.

Fixed income instruments that mature in sixty days or less, and of sufficient credit quality, are valued at amortized cost. Amortized cost valuation involves valuing a security at its cost initially and thereafter amortizing to maturity any discounts or premiums on the level-yield method, regardless of the impact of fluctuating market interest rates on the value of the security. In these instances, amortized cost approximates fair value.

Investments, other than those securities aforementioned, are valued as follows:

Domestic equity securities that are traded on U.S. exchanges, other than the Nasdaq Stock Market, are valued at the last trade price reported by the primary exchange of each security (4:00 pm Eastern Time for normal trading sessions). Domestic equity securities that are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Over-the-counter domestic equity securities are valued at the last trade price reported daily as of 4:00 pm Eastern Time (normal trading sessions).

 

   146    (continued)


Ohio National Fund, Inc.

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

  June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)  

Over-the-counter traded ADRs may also be valued at an evaluated price based on the value of the underlying securities. If a domestic equity security is not traded on a particular day, the mean between the bid and ask prices reported at 4:00 pm Eastern Time (normal trading sessions) by the primary exchange will generally be used for valuation purposes. The principal sources for market quotations are independent pricing services that have been approved by the Board.

Fixed income securities that have a remaining maturity exceeding sixty days are generally valued at the bid price reported at 4:00 pm Eastern Time (normal trading sessions), as provided by independent pricing services approved by the Board. The last trade or last evaluated bid may be used if an evaluated bid price is not available.

U.S exchange-traded options are valued at the composite basis last sale price as reported to a Board-approved independent pricing service by the OPRA (Options Price Reporting Authority) at 4:15 pm Eastern Time (normal trading sessions). If there are no reported trades for a trading session, the evaluated composite-basis bid price will generally be used for valuation purposes.

Shares of open-end mutual funds are valued at each fund’s last calculated net asset value per share.

Shares of closed-end mutual funds that are traded on U.S. exchanges are valued similarly to other domestic equity securities, typically at the last trade price reported by the primary exchange of each fund (4:00 pm Eastern Time for normal trading sessions).

Restricted securities, illiquid securities, or other investments for which market quotations or other observable market inputs are not readily available are valued at an estimate of value using methods determined in good faith by the Fund’s Pricing Committee under the supervision of the Board.

Foreign equity securities are initially priced at the reported close price of the exchange on which a security is primarily traded. Securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask quotes at daily close, or the last sale price when appropriate. The principal sources for market quotations are independent pricing services that have been approved by the Board.

Equity securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges, other than those with close times that are consistent with the normal 4:00 pm Eastern Time close of U.S. equity markets, are further subjected to fair valuation pricing procedures provided by an independent fair valuation service. The service provides data that can be used to estimate the price of a foreign issue that would prevail in a liquid market given market information available daily at 4:00 pm Eastern Time (normal trading sessions). Multiple factors may be considered in performing this valuation, including an issue’s local close price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, and pricing of related depository receipts, exchange traded funds, and futures. The pricing procedures are performed for each individual security for which there is a fairly large degree of certainty that the local close price is not the liquid market price at the time of U.S. market close. The procedures are performed each day there is a change in a consistently used market index from the time of local close to the U.S. market close. Backtesting analysis is performed on a quarterly basis to monitor the effectiveness of these procedures. The testing is reviewed by management of the Fund as well as the Board. Prior results have indicated that these procedures have been effective in reaching valuation objectives.

The differences between the aggregate cost and values of investments are reflected as unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation.

Pricing inputs used in the Fund’s determination of its investment values are categorized according to a three-tier hierarchy framework. The hierarchy is summarized in three broad levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2: Other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs, including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the value of securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing each of the Portfolio’s assets (liabilities) at value as of June 30, 2018:

**  For detailed industry descriptions, see the accompanying Schedules of Investments.

As stated above, the value assigned to the Fund’s foreign securities will, in most cases, not be the quoted or published prices of the investments on their respective primary markets or exchanges. Securities that are priced using fair value estimates are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, whereas securities that do not meet the established criteria are categorized as Level 1. The valuation of a foreign security from one valuation period to the next may result in a transfer between Levels 1 and 2 if the degree of certainty that the local close price is not the liquid market price at the time of U.S. market close is not similar for both periods. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, there were transfers of common stock from Level 1 pricing at December 31, 2017 to Level 2 pricing at June 30, 2018. The fair valuation service provider reported securities that did not meet the minimum predictability threshold to be fair valued at December 31, 2017, whereas in the current period, the securities met the threshold to be fair valued. Additionally, there were purchased call and put options that were valued at last sale price as reported to a Board-approved independent pricing service by the OPRA at 4:15 pm Eastern Time at December 31, 2017, whereas in the current period, the securities were valued at the evaluated composite-basis bid price, as last sale price was not available. The changes in level for each security are detailed in the table below:

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, there were transfers of common stock from Level 2 pricing at December 31, 2017 to Level 1 pricing at June 30, 2018. One security, Cielo SA, is traded on an exchange in which the close time is typically consistent with the close time of U.S. equity markets. However, at December 31, 2017, the local exchange was closed, causing the security to be fair valued. The security was not subject to fair value at June 30, 2018, as the close time was once again consistent with the close time of U.S. equity markets. Additionally, the fair valuation service provider reported other securities that met the minimum predictability threshold to be fair valued at December 31, 2017, whereas in the current period, those securities did not meet the threshold to be fair valued. Finally, there were purchased call and put options that were valued at the evaluated composite-bassis bid price at December 31, 2017, as there was no last sale price available; whereas in the current period, the securities were valued at last sale price as reported to a Board-approved independent pricing service by the OPRA at 4:15 pm Eastern Time.

Discount Rate

     85%      

The use of an income approach (discounted cash flow model) is a change in valuation technique from the market approach (purchase price allocation) that was previously used. The purchase price allocation relied on acquisition date fair values from January 22, 2016, when Shire plc acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Dyax Corp. As significant time has passed since the transaction closed, an income based approach is considered to more accurately represent the current fair market value.

Foreign Securities and Currency

The books and records of all the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. All investments and cash quoted in foreign currencies are valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates provided by an independent source. These exchange rates are currently determined daily at 4:00 pm Eastern Time for normal trading sessions. Purchases and sales of foreign-denominated investments are recorded at rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Ohio National Fund, Inc.

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

  June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)  

The Fund may not fully isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices on foreign currency-denominated investments. For the portion that is isolated, amounts are reflected in the Statements of Operations as other foreign currency related transactions. However, for tax purposes, the Fund does fully isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when determining the gain or loss upon sale or maturity of such investments to the extent required by federal income tax regulations.

All Portfolios of the Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers. The ON International Equity and ON Foreign Portfolios may be invested entirely in foreign securities. Investments in securities of foreign issuers, including investments in foreign companies through the use of depositary receipts, carry certain risks not ordinarily associated with investments in securities of domestic issuers. Such risks include future political and economic developments, and the possible imposition of exchange controls or other foreign governmental laws and restrictions. In addition, with respect to certain countries, there is the possibility of expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments that could adversely affect capital investment within those countries.

Restricted and Illiquid Securities

Restricted securities are those securities purchased through a private offering and cannot be resold to the general public without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (“the 1933 Act”) or pursuant to the resale limitations provided by Rule 144A under the 1933 Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. 144A securities are issued by corporations without registration in reliance on 1933 Act provisions allowing for the private resale of unregistered securities to qualified institutional buyers. Section 4(a)(2) commercial paper is issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act which exempts an issue from registration. This paper may be used to finance non-current transactions, such as acquisitions, stock repurchase programs, and other long-term assets. Investments by a portfolio in Rule 144A and Section 4(a)(2) securities could have the effect of decreasing the liquidity of a Portfolio during any period in which qualified institutional investors were no longer interested in purchasing these securities.

Typically, the restricted securities noted above are not considered illiquid. The criteria used to determine if a restricted security is illiquid includes frequency of trades and quotes, available dealers willing to make transactions, availability of market makers in the security, and the nature of the security and its trades. The ON Bond and ON Omni Portfolios may invest up to 10% of their respective assets in illiquid securities. Each of the other Portfolios of the Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

Investment Transactions and Related Income

For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. For purposes of executing separate account shareholder transactions in the normal course of business, however, the Fund’s investment transactions are recorded no later than the first calculation on the first business day following the trade date in accordance with Rule 2a-4 of the 40 Act. Accordingly, differences between the net asset values for financial reporting and for executing separate account shareholder transactions may arise.

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except in the case of those Portfolios holding foreign securities, in which dividends are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Fund’s information agents become aware of such dividends. Interest income is accrued daily as earned and includes the amortization of premium and accretion of discount. Net realized gain or loss on investments and foreign exchange transactions are determined using the specific identification method.

Distributions to Shareholders and Federal Taxes

The Fund satisfies its distribution requirements, as required for each of the Portfolios to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company pursuant to Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, by using consent dividends rather than cash distributions. The consent dividends, when authorized, become taxable to the Fund’s shareholders as if they were paid in cash. The Fund has the intent to continue to comply with tax provisions pertaining to regulated investment companies and make distributions of taxable income, whether by cash or consent dividends, sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. As such, no provisions for federal income or excise taxes have been recorded. Also, no tax-related interest or penalties have been incurred or recognized. The Board’s intent is that the Fund will not distribute any realized gain distributions (consent or otherwise) until any applicable capital loss carryforwards have been offset or expired.

The character of income and realized capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature they are reclassified within the composition of net assets; temporary differences do not require such reclassification. Distributions to shareholders that exceed taxable income and net taxable realized gains are reported as return of capital distributions.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

  June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)  

The Fund’s management and its tax agent perform an affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e. greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Implementation of the evaluation included a review of tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal tax and the state of Maryland. The determination has been made that there are no uncertain tax positions that would require the Portfolios to record a tax liability or provision.

Expense Allocation

Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a Portfolio are allocated among all the benefited Portfolios on a basis of relative net assets or other appropriate method.

Foreign Withholding Taxes

Certain Portfolios in the Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally withheld based on income earned. These Portfolios accrue such taxes as the related income is earned.

TBA Commitments

To-Be-Announced (“TBA”) commitments are agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed upon future settlement date beyond the customary settlement period for such securities. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date. However, delivered securities must meet specified terms, including issuer, rate and term and be within industry-accepted “good delivery” standards. When entering into TBA commitments, a Portfolio may take possession of or deliver the underlying mortgage-backed securities but can extend the settlement or roll the transaction. TBA commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases, respectively, prior to settlement date. The ON Risk Managed Balanced Portfolio was the only Portfolio to engage in TBA transactions and did not take delivery of individual mortgage-backed securities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.

A Portfolio may enter into a mortgage dollar roll (“MDR”) transaction, in which the Portfolio agrees to both sell and purchase a similar, but not identical, TBA mortgage-backed security with the same issuer, rate, and term on a later date at a set price. MDRs are treated as purchases and sales, which may have the effect of increasing portfolio turnover rates, and result in realized gains and losses based on the agreed-upon fixed prices. The ON Risk Managed Balanced Portfolio was the only Portfolio to engage in MDR transactions during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulations

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-18, which provides guidance related to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Fund’s management is currently evaluating the impact of the amendment on the Fund’s financial statements.

In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) released its Final Rules on Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the “Rules”). The Rules, which introduce two new regulatory reporting forms for investment companies – Form N-Port and Form N-CEN – also contain amendments to Regulation S-X that require standardized, enhanced disclosures about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The Fund has adopted the enhanced disclosures regarding derivatives and investments in affiliates, which had no effect on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations. The Fund’s management is currently evaluating the impact that the final release of these Rules may have on the Fund’s future disclosures and filings.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events and transactions through the date the financial statements were issued, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in these financial statements, and there are no subsequent events to report.

At a meeting held on November 15, 2017, the Board, including a majority of the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, approved the replacement of the investment strategy and sub-adviser to the Portfolio.

Effective May 1, 2018, Janus Capital Management LLC replaced the Portfolio’s previous sub-adviser, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. In conjunction with the change in sub-adviser and investment strategy, the name of the Portfolio was changed from Mid Cap Opportunity Portfolio to ON Janus Henderson Enterprise Portfolio. The sub-advisory fee schedule for the Portfolio did not change.

 

  3

The sub-advisory fees for the three Portfolios sub-advised by Geode could be impacted by an agreed-upon minimum aggregate per annum fee of $150,000. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the minimum aggregate fee had no impact on the sub-advisory fees that were calculated based on the breakpoint schedule indicated above.

Pursuant to a service agreement among ONI, ONLIC, and the Fund, ONLIC has agreed to provide personnel and facilities to ONI on a cost-reimbursement basis. These personnel members include officers of the Fund. ONLIC also provides clerical and administrative services and such supplies and equipment as may be reasonably required in order for ONI to properly perform its advisory function pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement. ONLIC further performs duties to fulfill the transfer agent function on behalf of the Fund. Performance of these duties by ONLIC and availability of facilities, personnel, supplies, and equipment does not represent an expense to the Fund in excess of the advisory fees paid to ONI.

Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement between ONI and the Fund, if the total expenses applicable to any Portfolio during any calendar quarter (excluding taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense and management fees) exceed 1%, on an annualized basis, evaluated quarterly, of such Portfolio’s average daily net asset value, ONI will reimburse the Portfolio for such excess expenses. There were no expense reimbursements associated with this agreement during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018.

ONI has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the annual ordinary operating expenses of the five ON Model Portfolios, excluding: portfolio transaction and other investment related costs (including brokerage fees and commissions); taxes; borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short); fees and expenses associated with investments in derivative instruments (including for example option and swap fees and expenses); any amounts payable pursuant to a distribution or service plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 40 Act; any administrative and/or shareholder servicing fees payable pursuant to a plan approved by the Board; expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization; extraordinary expenses (such as litigation expenses, indemnification of Fund officers and Directors and contractual indemnification of Portfolio service providers); and other expenses that the Directors agree have not been incurred in the ordinary course of the Portfolio’s business, exceed the following percentages of the average daily net assets (the “Expense Limitation Agreement.”):

ON Moderately Conservative Model

     0.92

ON Balanced Model

ON Growth Model

     1.08

For the period from March 1, 2017 to May 1, 2018, ONI contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the annual ordinary operating expense of the five ON Model Portfolios exceeded the following percentages of the average daily net assets:

ON Moderately Conservative Model

     0.87

ON Balanced Model

     0.94

ON Moderate Growth Model

     1.03

For purposes of calculating the expenses subject to the Expense Limitation Agreement, the annual operating expenses are those as presented pursuant to the Fund’s prospectus requirements. The prospectus presentation of Fund expenses includes Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”), which is a calculation of the indirect costs associated with the Portfolios’ underlying investments in other investment companies. The current Expense Limitation Agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2019. The Expense Limitation Agreement may only be terminated with the consent of the Board. Under the Expense Limitation Agreement, ONI is entitled to a reimbursement of the excess expense payments paid by it in the three years following the date the particular expense payment occurred, but only if such reimbursement can be achieved without exceeding the lesser of the applicable annual expense limitation in effect at the time of the expense payment or the reimbursement. There were no recorded liabilities related to this agreement at June 30, 2018.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, ONI reimbursed the expenses of the ON Model Portfolios as follows:

 

Portfolio

           

ON Conservative Model

   $ 110,199  

ON Moderately Conservative Model

     249,277  

ON Balanced Model

     856,493  

ON Moderate Growth Model

     1,203,890  

ON Growth Model

     513,454  

The Investment Advisory Agreement allows for a portion of the expenses related to the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer and staff to be incurred by the Fund and paid from the Fund to the Fund’s adviser, ONI. Pursuant to the service agreement among ONI, ONLIC, and the Fund, ONLIC has provided the personnel, services, and equipment necessary for the execution of the Fund’s regulation-mandated compliance function and ONI has reimbursed ONLIC for costs allocated to the Fund. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Fund incurred compliance expenses totaling $193,500, which is allocated to the Portfolios by equal dollar amounts. Expenses incurred by the Portfolios are reflected on the Statements of Operations as “Compliance expense”.

Financial Instruments

The Fund’s Portfolios may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk for hedging purposes or, otherwise, in accordance with stated investing objectives. These financial instruments may include options, futures, and foreign currency contracts that may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized on financial statements.

Options

A Portfolio may buy and write (i.e., sell) call and put options. In writing call options, the Portfolio gives the purchaser of the call option the right to purchase the underlying securities from the Portfolio at a specified “exercise” price at any time prior to the expiration of the option, normally within nine months. A Portfolio writes a covered call option when it owns the underlying securities and an uncovered call option when it does not. In purchasing put options, a Portfolio pays the seller of the put option a premium for the right of the Portfolio to sell the underlying securities to the seller at a specified exercise price prior to the expiration of the option. When a Portfolio sells a put option, it has the obligation to buy, and the purchaser of the put the right to sell, the underlying security at the exercise price during the option period. Whenever a Portfolio has a written covered call option outstanding, the underlying securities will be segregated by the Custodian and held in an escrow account to assure that such securities will be delivered to the option holder if the option is exercised. While the underlying securities are subject to the option, the Portfolio remains the record owner of the securities, entitling it to receive dividends and to exercise any voting rights. Whenever a Portfolio has a written uncovered call option outstanding, it will segregate with the Custodian cash or liquid assets that, when added to the amounts deposited with the broker as margin, equal to the market value of the securities underlying the call option (but not less than the exercise price of the call option). To cover a written put option, the Portfolio writing the option deposits cash or liquid securities in a segregated account at the Custodian. In order to terminate its position as the writer or the purchaser of an option, the Portfolio may enter into a “closing” transaction, which is the purchase (if the Portfolio has written the option) or sale (if the Portfolio is the purchaser of the option) of an option on the same underlying securities and having the same exercise price and expiration date as the option previously written or purchased by the Portfolio.

When a Portfolio writes a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. Such liability is subject to off balance sheet risks to the extent of any future increases in market value of the written options. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option on an individual security is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written call option on a securities index is exercised, a gain or loss is realized as determined by the premium originally received, the exercise price and the market value of the index. If a written put option on an individual security is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. When a Portfolio purchases a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included on the Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Portfolio enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a Portfolio exercises a call option on an individual security, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the

premium paid for the call. If the Portfolio exercises a put option on an individual security, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. If the Portfolio exercises a put option on a security index, a gain or loss is realized as determined by the premium originally paid, the exercise price and the market value of the index.

The ON ICON Balanced Portfolio held and purchased put options during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. These instruments were used by the Portfolio to provide a hedge against equity price risk. During a period in which the prices of the Portfolio’s common stocks may decline, these instruments are designed to increase in value, thus providing price accumulation gains that partially offset the price accumulation losses of the common stocks in the Portfolio. Transactions involving purchased options by the ON ICON Balanced Portfolio for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 were: Cost of purchases: $1.5 million, Proceeds from sales: $0.2 million.

The ON Risk Managed Balanced Portfolio also purchased call and put options associated with the S&P 500 Index or related exchange traded fund during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. These instruments were used by the Risk Management Component of the Portfolio to provide for the Portfolio’s stated risk management strategy. Transactions involving purchased options by the ON Risk Managed Balanced Portfolio for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 were: Cost of purchases: $11.6 million, Proceeds from sales: $11.1 million.

Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.

Futures Contracts

A Portfolio may buy or sell two kinds of financial futures contracts: stock index futures contracts and interest rate futures contracts. Stock index futures contracts are contracts developed by and traded on national commodity exchanges whereby the buyer will, on a specified future date, pay or receive a final cash payment equal to the difference between the actual value of the stock index on the last day of the contract and the value of the stock index established by the contract multiplied by the specific dollar amount set by the exchange. Futures contracts may be based on broad-based stock indices such as the S&P 500 Index or on narrow-based stock indices. A particular index will be selected according to the Adviser’s investment strategy for the particular Portfolio. An interest rate futures contract is an agreement whereby one party agrees to sell and another party agrees to purchase a specified amount of a specified financial instrument (debt security) at a specified price at a specified date, time and place. Although interest rate futures contracts typically require actual future delivery of and payment for financial instruments, the contracts are usually closed out before the delivery date. A public market exists in interest rate futures contracts covering primarily the following financial instruments: U.S. Treasury bonds; U.S. Treasury notes; Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) modified pass-through mortgage-backed securities; three-month U.S. Treasury bills; 90-day commercial paper; bank certificates of deposit; and Eurodollar certificates of deposit. U.S. futures contracts are traded on exchanges which have been designated “contract markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) and must be executed through a futures commission merchant (“FCM”), or brokerage firm, which is a member of the relevant contract market. It is expected that futures contracts trading in additional financial instruments will be authorized.

The Fund, on behalf of each Portfolio, has filed with the National Futures Association, a notice claiming an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, and the rules of the CFTC promulgated thereunder, with respect to each Portfolio’s operation. Accordingly, the Portfolios are not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator.

The buyer or seller of a futures contract is not required to deliver or pay for the underlying instrument unless the contract is held until the delivery date. However, both the buyer and seller are required to deposit “initial margin” for the benefit of the broker when the contract is entered into. Initial margin deposits are equal to a percentage of the contract’s value, as set by the exchange on which the contract is traded, and are similar to good faith deposits or performance bonds.

Unlike margin extended by a securities broker, initial margin payments do not constitute purchasing securities on margin for purposes of a Portfolio’s investment limitations. A Portfolio, its futures commission merchant and the Custodian retain control of the initial margin until the contract is liquidated. If the value of either party’s position declines, the party on the side of the declining position will be required to make additional “variation margin” payments to settle the change in value on a daily basis. The party that has a gain may be entitled to receive all or a portion of this amount. Variation margin is recognized as a receivable and/or payable for variation margin on futures contracts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In the event of the bankruptcy of the FCM that holds margin on behalf of a Portfolio, the Portfolio may be entitled to return of margin owed to the Portfolio only in proportion to the amount received by the FCM’s other customers. ONI and the Sub-Advisers will attempt to minimize this risk by carefully monitoring the creditworthiness of the FCMs with which the Portfolios do business. In addition to the margin restrictions discussed above, transactions in futures contracts and options on futures contracts may involve the segregation of funds pursuant to requirements imposed by the SEC. Under those requirements, where a Portfolio has a long position in a futures contract or sells a put option, it will

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

  June 30, 2018 (Unaudited)  

be required to establish a segregated account (not with an FCM or broker) containing cash or certain liquid assets equal to the purchase price of the contract or the exercise price of the option (less any margin on deposit). For a short position in futures contacts held by a Portfolio or call options sold by a Portfolio, those requirements mandate the establishment of a segregated account (not with a futures commission merchant or broker) containing cash or certain liquid assets that, when added to the amounts deposited as margin, equal the market value of the instruments underlying the futures contracts or call options. However, segregation of assets is not required if a Portfolio “covers” its position.

Portions of the ON S&P 500® Index, ON Nasdaq-100® Index, and ON S&P MidCap 400® Index Portfolios’ cash holdings, as noted on those Portfolios’ Schedules of Investments, were pledged at June 30, 2018 as collateral for the Portfolios’ futures contracts. The futures contracts were used by the Portfolios for the purpose of gaining equity exposure for cash and cash equivalents, thereby seeking to lessen a performance difference between the Portfolios and their respective benchmark indices. There were other futures contracts that were executed and closed in the Portfolios during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. Those contracts were executed for similar purposes as the contracts outstanding at June 30, 2018. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the notional values of futures contracts opened and closed prior to contract settlement date by the ON S&P 500® Index Portfolio were $129.2 million and $131.6 million, respectively. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the notional values of futures contracts opened and closed prior to contract settlement date by the ON Nasdaq-100® Index Portfolio were $39.1 million and $39.1 million, respectively. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the notional values of futures contracts opened and closed prior to contract settlement date by the ON S&P MidCap 400® Index Portfolio were $2.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Portions of the ON Risk Managed Balanced Portfolio’s securities and cash holdings, as noted on the Portfolio’s Schedule of Investments, were pledged at June 30, 2018 as collateral for the Portfolio’s futures contracts. These futures contracts were used by the Portfolio to provide for the Portfolio’s stated risk management strategy. There were other index futures contracts that were executed and closed in the ON Risk Managed Balanced Portfolio during the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. Those contracts were executed for similar purposes as the contracts outstanding at June 30, 2018. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2018, the notional values of futures contracts opened and closed prior to contract settlement date by the Portfolio were $699.1 million and $661.8 million, respectively.

The Portfolios may enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreements with their derivative contract counterparties whereby the Portfolios may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables and create one single net payment. For financial reporting purposes, the Portfolios offset derivative assets and liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. At June 30, 2018, there were no outstanding derivative transactions that were subject to netting arrangements.

Federal Income Tax Information

The following information is presented on a federal income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statements and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing and character differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. Permanent differences between financial statement and federal income tax reporting are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. Reclassifications related to permanent differences relate principally to consent dividends, foreign currency gains and losses, net investment losses, and distributions from real estate investment trusts and closed end mutual funds.

The cost basis for federal income tax purposes may differ from the cost basis for financial reporting purposes. The table below details the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and aggregate cost of investments at June 30, 2018 for federal income tax purposes.

Legal Matters

In December 2007, the ON S&P 500® Index and ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolios, shareholders of the Tribune Company, participated in a cash out merger in which shareholders received $34 per share of consideration. The value of the proceeds received by the ON S&P 500® Index and ON Federated Strategic Value Dividend Portfolios was $37,910 and $384,200, respectively. The company subsequently filed for bankruptcy and several legal complaints have been initiated by groups of Tribune Company creditors seeking to recover, or clawback, proceeds received by shareholders based on fraudulent transfer claims (the “Tribune Bankruptcy”).

The first action, Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of Tribune Company v. FitzSimons, et. al. (“FitzSimons”) was initiated on November 1, 2010 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. As a result of these proceedings, the Court agreed to allow individual creditors to file similar complaints in U.S. federal courts. The Fund is specifically named in a complaint in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio, Western Division, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, et. al. v. American Electric Power, et. al., that was initiated in June of 2011. The Fund, along with the Strategic Value Portfolio, is also named in a similar complaint in the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, et. al. v. Ametek Inc. Employees Master Retirement Trust, et. al. These Tribune litigation actions have been consolidated into a single Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL”) in the U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York. Thereafter, certain defendants in the MDL, including the Fund, filed various motions to dismiss. On September 23, 2013, the Court granted the motion to dismiss the individual creditors’ state-law fraudulent conveyance claim. On January 6, 2017, the Court granted the motion to dismiss the Trustee’s actual fraudulent conveyance claim. The plaintiff will almost certainly appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. Because of a procedural issue, however, the plaintiff cannot automatically appeal the decision, but must first obtain permission from the District Court. On February 23, 2017, the District Court issued an order stating that it intended to delay certification of the motion to dismiss until certain other pending motions to dismiss are resolved. The timetable for resolution of the pending motions to dismiss remains unclear; the parties involved are currently engaged in discovery. On July 18, 2017, the plaintiff sought permission to amend his complaint to include a constructive fraudulent transfer claim, based on the potential outcome of a case—Merit Management Group, LP v. FTI Consulting, Inc.—which at the time was pending in the Supreme Court. The District Court denied the request without prejudice, but noted that plaintiff may have a strong argument that he should be allowed to amend his complaint depending on the outcome of Merit Management. On February 27, 2018, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Merit Management, which provides new grounds for the Trustee to assert previously barred constructive fraudulent transfer claims against the shareholder defendants. On March 8, 2018, the Trustee renewed his request to amend his complaint to add a constructive fraudulent transfer claim. On March 13, 2018, counsel for a number of shareholder defendants opposed the renewed request. On June 18, 2018, the District Court entered an order staying any decision on the Trustee’s request on the grounds that it will be preferable to hold off until there is a further ruling from the Second Circuit in the State Law Constructive Fraudulent Transfer Cases. The District Court also instructed the parties to file a joint letter indicating their views on proceeding with efforts to try to achieve a global resolution of the case. On July 9, 2018, the parties submitted a joint letter which voiced general support for a broad based mediation effort. The District Court has not yet responded to the parties’ submission.

The outcome of these proceedings cannot be predicted. Management of the Fund continues to assess litigation matters and any offers of settlement.

Expense Disclosure

An individual may not buy or own membership interests of the Fund directly. An individual acquires an indirect interest in the Fund by purchasing a variable annuity contract or variable insurance policy and allocating premiums or purchase payments to Fund Portfolios available through the separate accounts of ONLIC, ONLAC, and NSLA. Separate accounts of these entities are the shareholders of the Fund.

As a shareholder of the Fund, a separate account incurs ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help a policy/contract owner understand ongoing costs (in dollars) associated with the underlying investment in the Fund’s Portfolios by the separate account shareholder and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs associated with investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at January 1, 2018 and held through June 30, 2018.

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about investment values and actual expenses associated with each Portfolio of the Fund. The information below, together with the amount of an underlying investment, can be used to estimate expenses paid over the period. An estimate can be obtained by simply dividing an underlying investment value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 investment value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiplying the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period”.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical investment values and hypothetical expenses based on each respective Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not an actual return. The hypothetical investment values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending investment balance or expenses actually paid for the period by the shareholders. A policy/contract holder may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

*   Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year (181 days) divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (365 days). Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight ongoing Fund costs only and do not reflect any contract-level expenses or Fund transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or exchange fees (if any). Therefore, these tables are useful in comparing ongoing fund costs only, and will not fully assist a policy/contract owner in determining the relative total expenses of different funds. In addition, if transactional costs were included, costs may have been higher for these Portfolios as well as for a fund being compared.
