LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

I am pleased to present you with this Semi-Annual Report of Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds for the six months ended July 31, 2023. The Semi-Annual Report includes the financial statements of each of our four Portfolios, as well as additional information such as management commentary, performance data, lists of investments held and financial highlights.

As we approach the end of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s most recent tightening cycle, later this year or in early 2024, the natural question for investors is “what’s next?” The “yes, but” nature of this market continues to paralyze us. To wit: the most anticipated recession in recent history has yet to materialize, but may be right around the corner; inflation appears to be stabilizing, but higher energy prices may reverse that trend; most Americans remain gainfully employed and are spending accordingly, but signs of overextension are starting to appear; and economic growth as measured by GDP is accelerating, not declining, but corporate profits are declining and banks are tightening lending standards. Hard for investors to have conviction in any direction with that backstory. More than ever, it remains paramount that prudent investors consider appropriate risk and return expectations, minimize losses, preserve capital, and remain patient for longer term opportunities. We believe there has never been a better time to consider an investment in our Permanent Portfolio. The Portfolio’s asset allocation strategy, including dedicated exposure to hard assets such as precious metals, natural resources, and real estate, as well as traditional stocks and bonds, was planned with rising inflation, volatile interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty in mind. Permanent Portfolio has a long track record of preserving and growing capital in excess of inflation in a wide variety of economic, market, financial and political periods going back to its founding in 1982. Now is the time to work with someone who has “been there.” We have — for over 41 years.

I also encourage you to visit our website — permanentportfoliofunds.com — which offers a wide range of information on each of our Portfolios, including our current prospectus, statement of additional information, fact sheets, investor guides, performance data, and recent market insights and perspectives. In addition, if you have questions or would like more information on any of our strategies, including, for income investors, our short-term U.S. Treasury Portfolio, and our flexibly managed, high quality, low duration Versatile Bond Portfolio, or for longer term equity investors, our multi-cap core Aggressive Growth Portfolio, please contact your investment professional, one of our Institutional Sales representatives at (866) 792-6547, or our Shareholder Services Office at (800) 531-5142.

As always, thank you for your continued trust and confidence in our Family of Funds. Now more than ever, we look forward to helping you navigate through these uncertain times to achieve long-term success in reaching your financial goals, now, and for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Michael J. Cuggino

Chairman and President

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Six Months Ended July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Permanent Portfolio’s investment objective is to preserve and increase the purchasing power value of its shares over the long term. The Portfolio’s strategy is to invest a fixed “Target Percentage” of its net assets in gold, silver, Swiss franc assets, real estate and natural resource stocks, aggressive growth stocks and dollar assets, such as U.S. Treasury securities and corporate bonds. During the six months ended July 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares achieved a total return of 3.72%, net of expenses to average net assets of .82%, as compared to 2.48% for the FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and 13.52% for the S&P 500, and as compared to a 2.18% inflation rate over the same period as measured by the change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI-U”), a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services as compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Portfolio’s return during the six months then ended reflected positive returns on its aggressive growth stocks, and to a lesser degree its gold and silver, Swiss franc assets, real estate stocks, and holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and corporate bonds, which more than offset negative returns on its natural resource stocks. Neither the FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index return, the S&P 500 return nor the change in CPI-U reflect deductions for fees, expenses or taxes. Returns for the Portfolio’s Class A and Class C shares are provided on pages 7, 39 and 40.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible. Permanent Portfolio invests in foreign securities, which will involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The Portfolio will be affected by changes in the prices of gold, silver, U.S. and foreign real estate and natural resource company stocks and aggressive growth stocks. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that an issuer of debt securities may be unable or unwilling to pay principal and interest when due. Although the Portfolio invests in multiple and diverse asset classes, diversification across asset classes does not assure a profit, nor does it protect against a loss in a declining market. The Portfolio is non-diversified, meaning that it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers and kinds of assets.

The following pie chart shows Permanent Portfolio’s investment holdings by asset class, as a percentage of total net assets as of July 31, 2023.

Allocations are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security within an asset class.

Performance Chart

Ten Years Ended July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

The chart above compares the initial account values and subsequent account values over the past ten years, assuming a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Portfolio’s Class I shares at the beginning of the first period indicated and reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, without the deduction of taxes, to a $10,000 investment over the same periods in comparable broad-based securities market indices. The performance of the Portfolio’s Class A and Class C shares will differ due to different sales charge structures and share class expenses.

The FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index tracks the performance of U.S. Treasury bills with a remaining maturity of three months. U.S. Treasury bills, which are short-term loans to the U.S. government, are full-faith-and-credit obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The S&P 500, an equity index provided by S&P Dow Jones Indices, a Division of S&P Global, Inc. (“S&P”), is a market-capitalization weighted index of common stocks and represents an unmanaged portfolio. You cannot invest directly in an index. Returns shown for the FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the S&P 500 reflect reinvested interest, dividends and other distributions as applicable, but do not reflect a deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares.

Average Annual Total Returns

Periods Ended July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

	One Year		Five Years		Ten Years		Since Inception		Inception Date
At Net Asset Value
Class I Shares (PRPFX) (1)		9.48%		8.26%		5.59%		6.29%		12/01/1982
Class A Shares (PRPDX)		9.22%		7.99%		—		7.25%		5/31/2016
Class C Shares (PRPHX)		8.40%		7.18%		—		6.45%		5/31/2016
With Sales Charge
Class A Shares (PRPDX) (2)		3.75%		6.88%		—		6.49%
Class C Shares (PRPHX) (2)		7.40%		7.18%		—		6.45%
FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (3)		4.11%		1.62%		1.02%		3.52%
S&P 500 (3)		13.02%		12.20%		12.66%		11.62%

(1) Returns for the ten-year and since inception periods reflect the impact of fee waivers then in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced.

(2) Returns with sales charge reflect the deduction of the maximum front end sales charge of 5.00% for Class A shares, and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% which is imposed on Class C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase.

(3) The date used to calculate performance since inception for the indices is the inception date of the Class I shares.

The table above shows Permanent Portfolio’s average annual total returns for the periods indicated, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, and deduction of all applicable fees and expenses (except the $35 one-time account start-up fee which was eliminated in January 2016). All share classes of the Portfolio are invested in the same securities and returns only differ to the extent that the fees and expenses of the share classes are different. Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares.

As stated in the Portfolio’s Prospectus dated May 31, 2023, the total annual operating expenses (“expense ratios”) for the year ended January 31, 2023 were .82%, 1.07% and 1.82% for the Portfolio’s Class I, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The expense ratios for the six months ended July 31, 2023 may be found in the Financial Highlights section of this Report.

Performance data shown above for Permanent Portfolio represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investment performance, current to the most recent month-end, may be lower or higher than the performance shown above, and can be obtained by calling the Fund’s Shareholder Services Office at (800) 531-5142.

Investments in the Portfolio are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other government agency. It is therefore possible to lose money by investing in Permanent Portfolio.

SHORT-TERM TREASURY PORTFOLIO

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Six Months Ended July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Short-Term Treasury Portfolio’s investment objective is to earn high current income, consistent with safety and liquidity of principal. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its assets in direct debt obligations of the United States Treasury, including U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and other securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. The remainder of the Portfolio’s assets may be invested in U.S. government agency securities, which include debt obligations issued and/or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or its agencies, sponsored enterprises or instrumentalities. The Portfolio expects to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity and duration of zero to three years. During the six months ended July 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares achieved a total return of 1.03%, net of expenses to average net assets of .66%, as compared to 2.48% for the FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index over the same period. The Portfolio’s return during the six months then ended was primarily due to increasing net investment returns available on short-term U.S. Treasury and Agency securities being only partially offset by decreases in value of Portfolio securities caused by the continued rise in short term interest rates. The FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index does not reflect a deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible. The Portfolio’s yield and share price will fluctuate in response to changes in interest rates. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

The following pie chart shows Short-Term Treasury Portfolio’s investment holdings by months to maturity, as a percentage of investments as of July 31, 2023.

Allocations are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

SHORT-TERM TREASURY PORTFOLIO

Performance Chart

Ten Years Ended July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

The chart above compares the initial account values and subsequent account values over the past ten years, assuming a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Portfolio at the beginning of the first period indicated and reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, without the deduction of taxes, to a $10,000 investment over the same periods in a comparable broad-based securities market index.

The FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index tracks the performance of U.S. Treasury bills with a remaining maturity of three months. U.S. Treasury bills, which are short-term loans to the U.S. government, are full-faith-and-credit obligations of the U.S. Treasury. You cannot invest directly in an index. Returns shown for the FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index reflect reinvested interest as applicable, but do not reflect a deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares.

Average Annual Total Returns

Periods Ended July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

	One Year		Five Years		Ten Years		Since Inception		Inception Date
At Net Asset Value
Class I Shares (PRTBX) (1)		.22%		.20%		-.02%		2.07%		5/26/1987
FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (2)		4.11%		1.62%		1.02%		2.97%

(1) Returns reflect the impact of fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. See the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding fee waivers.

(2) The date used to calculate performance since inception for the index is the inception date of the Class I shares.

The table above shows Short-Term Treasury Portfolio’s average annual total returns for the periods indicated, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, and deduction of all applicable fees and expenses (except the $35 one-time account start-up fee which was eliminated in January 2016). Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares.

As stated in the Portfolio’s Prospectus dated May 31, 2023, the total annual operating expenses before and after fee waivers (“expense ratios”) for the year ended January 31, 2023 were 1.21% and .65%, respectively. The expense ratios for the six months ended July 31, 2023 may be found in the Financial Highlights section of this Report.

Performance data shown above for Short-Term Treasury Portfolio represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investment performance, current to the most recent month-end, may be lower or higher than the performance shown above, and can be obtained by calling the Fund’s Shareholder Services Office at (800) 531-5142.

Investments in the Portfolio are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other government agency. It is therefore possible to lose money by investing in Short-Term Treasury Portfolio.

VERSATILE BOND PORTFOLIO

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Six Months Ended July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Versatile Bond Portfolio’s investment objective is to earn high current income. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds, which may include debt securities of all types and of any maturity, and may invest up to 20% of its assets in other securities, including preferred stocks. During the six months ended July 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares achieved a total return of .68%, net of expenses to average net assets of .66%, as compared to -1.15% for the Bloomberg Global Aggregate (Excluding Securitized) Bond Index over the same period. The Portfolio’s return during the six months then ended exceeded the performance of the index, primarily due to its investment selection, the timing of purchases and sales of those investments in relation to fluctuating market values relative to the aforementioned index, and its investments in U.S. dollar denominated corporate securities having greater credit risk, lower duration and less currency risk than the index. The returns of the index do not reflect a deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Returns for the Portfolio’s Class A and Class C shares are provided on pages 22, 43 and 44.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible. The Portfolio’s yield and share price will fluctuate in response to changes in interest rates. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that an issuer of debt securities may be unable or unwilling to pay principal and interest when due. Below investment grade bonds involve greater risk of loss because they are subject to greater levels of credit risk.

The following pie chart shows Versatile Bond Portfolio’s investment holdings by S&P credit rating, as a percentage of investments as of July 31, 2023. Credit ratings range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest) based on S&P measures. Other rating agencies may rate the same securities differently. “Not Rated” securities are not rated by S&P. Credit ratings are only the opinions of the rating agencies issuing them, do not purport to reflect the risk of fluctuations in market value, are not guarantees as to the payment of interest and repayment of principal, and are subject to change.

Performance Chart

Ten Years Ended July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

The chart above compares the initial account values and subsequent account values over the past ten years, assuming a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Portfolio’s Class I shares at the beginning of the first period indicated and reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, without the deduction of taxes, to a $10,000 investment over the same periods in a comparable broad-based securities market index. The performance of the Portfolio’s Class A and Class C shares will differ due to different sales charge structures and share class expenses.

The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index is a market-capitalization weighted, broad-based measure of global, government-related, treasury, corporate and securitized fixed income investments. The Bloomberg Global Aggregate (Excluding Securitized) Bond Index, which excludes securitized fixed income investments, is a sub-index of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. Returns shown for the Bloomberg Global Aggregate (Excluding Securitized) Bond Index reflect reinvested interest, dividends and other distributions as applicable, but do not reflect a deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares.

(1) Returns reflect the impact of fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such fee waivers, total returns would be reduced. See the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding fee waivers.

(2) Returns for periods prior to May 30, 2012 reflect the Portfolio’s results under its prior investment strategies. Such returns should not be considered predictive or representative of results the Portfolio may experience under its current investment strategies.

(3) Returns with sales charge reflect the deduction of the maximum front end sales charge of 4.00% for Class A shares, and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% which is imposed on Class C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase.

(4) The Bloomberg Global Aggregate (Excluding Securitized) Bond Index commenced on September 30, 2002. Performance of the Index for periods prior to September 30, 2002, is calculated using the return data of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index through September 29, 2002 and the return data of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate (Excluding Securitized) Bond Index since September 30, 2002.

(5) The date used to calculate performance since inception for the Index is the inception date of the Class I shares.

The table above shows Versatile Bond Portfolio’s average annual total returns for the periods indicated, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, and deduction of all applicable fees and expenses (except the $35 one-time account start-up fee which was eliminated in January 2016). All share classes of the Portfolio are invested in the same securities and returns only differ to the extent that the fees and expenses of the share classes are different. Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares.

As stated in the Portfolio’s Prospectus dated May 31, 2023, as amended July 26, 2023, the total annual operating expenses (“expense ratios”) for the year ended January 31, 2023, before fee waivers, were 1.21%, 1.46% and 2.21% for the Portfolio’s Class I, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The expense ratios for the same period, after fee waivers, were .65%, .90% and 1.65% for the Portfolio’s Class I, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The expense ratios for the six months ended July 31, 2023 may be found in the Financial Highlights section of this Report.

Performance data shown above for Versatile Bond Portfolio represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investment performance, current to the most recent month-end, may be lower or higher than the performance shown above, and can be obtained by calling the Fund’s Shareholder Services Office at (800) 531-5142.

Investments in the Portfolio are not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or other government agency. It is therefore possible to lose money by investing in Versatile Bond Portfolio.

AGGRESSIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIO

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Six Months Ended July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Aggressive Growth Portfolio’s investment objective is to achieve high (greater than for the stock market as a whole), long-term appreciation in the value of its shares. Under normal market conditions, the Portfolio invests in stocks and stock warrants of U.S. and foreign companies that are expected to have a higher profit potential than the stock market as a whole. During the six months ended July 31, 2023, the Portfolio’s Class I shares achieved a total return of 15.53%, net of expenses to average net assets of 1.22%, as compared to 5.46% for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and 13.52% for the S&P 500 over the same period. The Portfolio’s return during the six months then ended was primarily due to the Portfolio’s investment selection and the timing of purchases and sales of those investments in relation to fluctuating market values relative to the aforementioned indices. Industry sectors contributing the most appreciation to the Portfolio during the six months ended July 31, 2023 included electrical equipment and electronics, entertainment and leisure, computer software and services, transportation, and manufacturing, while financial services, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, energy services and processing, and aerospace provided the most depreciation over the same period. Neither the Dow Jones Industrial Average nor the S&P 500 reflect deductions for fees, expenses or taxes. Returns for the Portfolio’s Class A and Class C shares are provided on pages 29, 46 and 47.

Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible. Aggressive Growth Portfolio’s stock market investments will fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unexpectedly. Aggressive growth stock investments are subject to greater market risk of price declines, especially during periods when the prices of U.S. stock market investments in general are declining. The Portfolio may also invest in smaller and medium capitalization companies which will involve additional risks, such as limited liquidity and greater volatility.

The following pie chart shows Aggressive Growth Portfolio’s investment holdings by industry sector, as a percentage of total net assets as of July 31, 2023.

Allocations are subject to change and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security within a sector.

Performance Chart

Ten Years Ended July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

The chart above compares the initial account values and subsequent account values over the past ten years, assuming a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Portfolio’s Class I shares at the beginning of the first period indicated and reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, without the deduction of taxes, to a $10,000 investment over the same periods in comparable broad-based securities market indices. The performance of the Portfolio’s Class A and Class C shares will differ due to different sales charge structures and share class expenses.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average — Total Return is an average of the stock prices of thirty large companies and represents a widely recognized unmanaged portfolio of common stocks. The S&P 500 is a market-capitalization weighted index of common stocks and also represents an unmanaged portfolio. You cannot invest directly in an index. Returns shown for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 reflect reinvested dividends and other distributions as applicable, but do not reflect a deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares.

(1) Returns with sales charge reflect the deduction of the maximum front end sales charge of 5.00% for Class A shares, and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% which is imposed on Class C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase.

(2) The date used to calculate performance since inception for the indices is the inception date of the Class I shares.

The table above shows Aggressive Growth Portfolio’s average annual total returns for the periods indicated, assuming reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions, and deduction of all applicable fees and expenses (except the $35 one-time account start-up fee which was eliminated in January 2016). All share classes of the Portfolio are invested in the same securities and returns only differ to the extent that the fees and expenses of the share classes are different. Performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares.

As stated in the Portfolio’s Prospectus dated May 31, 2023, the total annual operating expenses (“expense ratios”) for the year ended January 31, 2023 were 1.21%, 1.46% and 2.21% for the Portfolio’s Class I, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. The expense ratios for the six months ended July 31, 2023 may be found in the Financial Highlights section of this Report.

Performance data shown above for Aggressive Growth Portfolio represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investment performance, current to the most recent month-end, may be lower or higher than the performance shown above, and can be obtained by calling the Fund’s Shareholder Services Office at (800) 531-5142.

Effective May 31, 2016, existing shares of each Portfolio were renamed Class I shares, and Permanent Portfolio^®, Versatile Bond Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio commenced offering Class A and Class C shares for purchase through brokers and dealers.

Each share class has equal rights as to earnings and assets except that each class bears different shareholder servicing and distribution expenses. Each share class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets.

Each of the Fund’s Portfolios is an investment company, and accordingly, each Portfolio follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification “Financial Services — Investment Companies (Topic 946).” The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses earned and incurred, respectively, during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments

Each Portfolio’s assets are valued primarily at market value on the basis of the last quoted sales price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Equity securities traded on the Nasdaq National Market System are normally valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price provided by Nasdaq, usually as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time each business day. Equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange or system are valued at the last sales price in the over-the-counter market. If there is no trading in an investment on a business day, the investment will be valued at the mean between its closing bid and asked prices on the exchange or system on which the security is principally traded. Short- and long-term debt securities, including U.S. government and agency securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income securities and unlisted securities, are generally valued at the latest price furnished by an independent pricing service. Gold and silver bullion are valued at the closing spot settlement price on the New York Commodity Exchange. Gold and silver coins are valued at the price furnished by an independent pricing service. Deposits of Swiss francs and Swiss government bonds will be valued each business day at prices (converted

into U.S. dollars) quoted by an independent pricing service. Foreign securities traded on an exchange are valued on the basis of market quotations most recently available from that exchange. All investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from an independent pricing service. Investments for which bona fide market quotations are not readily available, or investments for which the Fund’s investment adviser determines that a quotation or a price for a portfolio security provided by a dealer or an independent pricing service is not believed to be reflective of market value, are valued by the Valuation Committee of the Fund’s investment adviser pursuant to fair value procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The Fund’s investment adviser has been designated as the Fund’s valuation designee, effective September 8, 2022, with responsibility for fair valuation, subject to oversight by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during a reporting period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

The Fund’s Level 1 valuation techniques use unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for assets or liabilities with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information as the most reliable evidence of fair value.

Level 2 — Significant other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

The Fund’s Level 2 valuation techniques include inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, in which there are few transactions, where prices may not be current, or where price quotations vary substantially over time or among market participants. Inputs that are observable for an asset or liability in Level 2 include such factors as interest rates, yield curves, foreign exchange rates, put or call provisions, credit risk and default rates for similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The Fund’s Level 3 valuation techniques include the use of unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions market participants may use or could be expected to use in pricing an asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, and are developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. In developing unobservable inputs, market participant assumptions are used if they are reasonably available without undue cost and effort.

The Fund may record changes to valuations based on the amount that it might reasonably be expected to receive for an investment upon its current sale, consistent with the fair value measurement objective. Each determination is based on a consideration of all relevant factors,

which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. Examples of such factors may include, but are not limited to: (i) type of the investment; (ii) existence of any contractual restrictions on the investment’s disposition; (iii) price and extent of public trading in similar investments or of comparable investments; (iv) quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; (v) information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities); (vi) analysis of an issuer’s financial statements; (vii) evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the investment is purchased and sold; and (viii) with respect to debt securities, maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, spread, currency denomination, and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. Because of the inherent uncertainties of valuation, the values reflected in the financial statements may materially differ from the value determined upon sale of those investments.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of July 31, 2023 in valuing the Fund’s assets:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of a reporting period. There were no transfers into or out of Levels 1 and 2 during the six months ended July 31, 2023. The Fund’s Permanent Portfolio, Short-Term Treasury Portfolio, Versatile Bond Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio held no Level 3 assets during the six months then ended.

As of July 31, 2023 and during the six months then ended, the Fund did not hold any derivative instruments, nor did it engage in any hedging activities using derivative instruments.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

Amounts denominated in or expected to settle in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate of exchange; and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Fund separately reports the portions of the results of operations attributable to the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on the value of investments. Reported net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions arise from sales of foreign currencies, foreign currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books versus the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains or losses arise from changes in the exchange rate applicable to cash, receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for on the date of purchase, sale or maturity. Interest income is accrued daily and includes amortization of any premiums or discounts for financial and tax reporting purposes using the effective yield method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (REITs) may be classified as dividends, capital gains or returns of capital. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments are recorded on an identified cost basis for financial and tax reporting purposes.

During the six months ended July 31, 2023, investment income was earned as follows:

	Permanent Portfolio®			Short-Term Treasury Portfolio		Versatile Bond Portfolio		Aggressive Growth Portfolio

Federal Taxes

Each of the Fund’s Portfolios will continue to be treated as a separate regulated investment company and each Portfolio intends to qualify under Subchapter M of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). Accordingly, no provision has been made for United States income taxes, as each Portfolio intends to declare necessary dividend distributions from investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders prior to October 15, 2023, pursuant to the requirements of the Code.

As of January 31, 2023, the Fund’s Permanent Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio had no capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized gains, if any, while the Fund’s Short-Term Treasury Portfolio had $6,720 of short-term capital loss carryforwards and $814 of long-term capital loss carryforwards, and the Fund’s Versatile Bond Portfolio had $749,639 of short-term capital loss carryforwards and $1,255,668 of long-term capital loss carryforwards available, respectively, to offset future realized gains, if any. Additionally, net capital losses attributable to investment transactions that occur after October 31 and ordinary losses that occur after December 31 (“Post-October” and “Late-Year Ordinary” losses, respectively), if any, are recognized for federal tax purposes as arising on February 1, the first day of each Portfolio’s next taxable year. The Fund’s Short-Term Treasury Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio had no Post-October losses or Late-Year Ordinary losses, while its Permanent Portfolio and Versatile Bond Portfolio had $1,232,482 and $168,721, respectively, of Post-October losses.

During the six months ended July 31, 2023, the Fund’s Permanent Portfolio, Short-Term Treasury Portfolio and Aggressive Growth Portfolio incurred no federal excise tax. During the same period, the Fund’s Versatile Bond Portfolio paid $3,339 in federal excise tax.

The Fund’s Portfolios recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Fund’s Portfolios have analyzed their respective tax positions and have concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on tax returns previously filed for open tax years 2020 through 2022 or expected to be taken on the Fund’s Portfolios’ 2023 tax returns. The Fund’s Portfolios are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

Equalization

The Fund follows the accounting practice of equalization, by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and a portion of the costs of redemptions of shares of capital stock are allocated to undistributed net investment income. The effect of this practice is to prevent the calculation of net investment income per share from being affected by sales or redemptions of shares in each Portfolio, and for periods of net issuances of shares, allows undistributed net investment income to exceed distributable investment company taxable income.

Indemnifications

The Fund indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties for the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which may provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves future claims that may be made against the Fund under circumstances that have not occurred.

2. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

On December 7, 2022, the Fund paid ordinary income dividends and capital gain distributions to shareholders of record on December 6, 2022. The per share amounts per Portfolio were as follows:

July 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Dividends to shareholders from net investment income and distributions to shareholders from net realized gain on investments, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of such dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with the Code, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences result primarily from different treatment of net investment income and net realized gains on certain investment securities held by the Fund’s Portfolios. During the year ended January 31, 2023: (i) the Fund’s Permanent Portfolio reclassified $7,151,952 from total distributable earnings to undistributed capital gains and $2,283,013 from total distributable earnings to paid-in capital; (ii) the Fund’s Short-Term Treasury Portfolio reclassified $6,171 from total distributable earnings to paid-in capital; (iii) the Fund’s Versatile Bond Portfolio reclassified $429,109 from total distributable earnings to paid-in capital; and (iv) the Fund’s Aggressive Growth Portfolio reclassified $65 from undistributed capital gains to total distributable earnings and $3,685 from total distributable earnings to paid-in capital, to reflect such book and tax basis differences.

As of January 31, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Permanent Portfolio®			Short-Term Treasury Portfolio			Versatile Bond Portfolio			Aggressive Growth Portfolio
Distributable ordinary income	$	1,011,749		$	85,417		$	343,822		$	24,173

The Fund has evaluated the impact of subsequent events on its Portfolios and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund continues to evaluate the effect on its investments and operations of various evolving matters regarding the economy, financial system and markets arising from monetary and fiscal policies designed to mitigate inflationary or deflationary pressures, the Russian-Ukraine conflict and other geopolitical risks, and ongoing disruption of the flow of goods and services, including food, energy and other commodities, potential sanctions, counter-sanctions, and other government mandated restrictions, that may be applied to the Fund’s Portfolios and activities. The Fund’s financial statements do not contain any adjustments relating to these uncertainties, and their ultimate impact on the Fund, its investments and operations are not readily determinable at this time.

Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program

As required by Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (“Program”). The Program is designed to assess and manage the liquidity risk in each of the Fund’s Portfolios. The Fund’s Board of Trustees has appointed Pacific Heights as the program administrator (“Program Administrator”), which oversees the Program’s administration through a cross-functional committee. The Program Administrator is required to provide an annual report to the Board regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program and any material changes to the Program.

On June 21, 2023, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s annual written report for the 2022-2023 period (“Report”). The Report discussed a review of liquidity risk and operation of the Program. The Report noted that the Program Administrator uses State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Fund’s custodian, as a third party vendor to provide portfolio classification services, and that each Portfolio’s assets were classified as highly liquid during the review period. The Report discussed the undertaking of ongoing analysis, review of assumptions and consideration of the impact of ongoing portfolio decisions on liquidity. The Report noted that no Portfolio is expected to change any strategy of holding primarily highly liquid investments. The Program Administrator noted that no material changes had been made to the Program since the Board’s last approval of the Program.

The Program Administrator determined that the Program is operating adequately and effectively in promoting effective liquidity risk management, and recommended no changes to the Program.

The Examples on the following page are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at January 31, 2023 and held for the entire six months ended July 31, 2023.

Actual Expenses

The first line with respect to each share class of each Portfolio on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the six months ended July 31, 2023. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Six Months Ended July 31, 2023” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the six months ended July 31, 2023.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line with respect to each share class of each Portfolio on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Portfolios’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the six months ended July 31, 2023. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Portfolios and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second line of the tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* The dollar amounts shown as expenses paid during the period then ended are equal to the annualized six months net expense ratio multiplied by the applicable Portfolio’s average account value during the period, multiplied by the number of days in the period (181) divided by the number of days in the Portfolio’s fiscal year (365) (to reflect the one-half year period). For all share classes, hypothetical 5% annual return before expenses is calculated by multiplying the number of days in the period (181) divided by the number of days in the Portfolio’s fiscal year (365).
