Dear Investor:

Thank you for your continued affiliation with The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company. The confidence and trust you place in us reaffirms our commitment to helping policyholders take advantage of all life’s possibilities. We also take pride in being a financially strong mutual insurance company that delivers on our promises, and I’m very pleased to bring you the following capital markets summary. Please remember that regardless of what the markets may bring, short-term performance changes should not distract you from your long-term financial plan, and it’s a good idea to meet with your investment professional regularly to make sure that your asset allocation remains on target.

Stocks moved higher in the first half of 2015 despite producing negative returns for the months of January, March and June. U.S. growth contracted at an annualized rate of 0.2% in the first quarter and stock market volatility, which has been extremely low the last several years, increased as the second quarter came to a close. This first quarter weakness was blamed on a combination of factors, which included weak consumer spending hampered by inclement weather, the West Coast port works’ strike, and a larger trade deficit exacerbated by a strong dollar. However, this weakness, deemed transitory in nature, appeared to fade as strengthening economic data was reported during the second quarter. From a sector perspective, Health Care and Consumer Discretionary, had the strongest returns and more defensive sectors, such as Utilities and Energy, experienced relatively weaker returns during the first half of the year. In this environment, the U.S. stock market, as measured by the Wilshire 5000 Equity Index, returned a modest 1.67 percent during the six month period ending June 30.

On a relative basis, small capitalization stocks provided higher returns than did mid and large capitalization stocks during the six month period. Small capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, returned 4.75 percent, while mid capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap Index returned 2.35 percent and large capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, returned 1.71 percent. From a style perspective, growth stocks outperformed value stocks in the all market capitalizations, with the widest disparity being in the small capitalization space. For instance, small cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 8.74 percent while small cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index returned 0.76 percent. Much of the relative underperformance within value stocks can be attributed to the relatively weak performance within the Utilities and Energy sectors. Lastly, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), which have experienced some of the best returns of any asset class since 2009, suffered a nearly 10.00 percent loss during the second quarter on the prospects of rising interest rates, bringing its year-to-date return to a negative 5.67 percent.

International markets, both developed and emerging, ended the six month period ahead of U.S. equities. Developed international stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 5.88 percent while emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, end the period with a return of 3.12 percent. International markets started the second quarter off strong, but weakened as the Greek debt crisis escalated and China’s stock-market selloff intensified. Greece highlights the foundational challenges of the single currency for very different economies — for example Germany. The pace of economic growth abroad, particularly in China and other emerging market economies, will be closely monitored for the remainder of the year. The European Central Bank (ECB) quantitative easing program that commenced in March 2015 appears to be having a positive impact. The ECB intends to continue this program until September 2016 or when the eurozone achieves its inflation target of 2.00 percent.

Investment-grade fixed-income securities underperformed high yield bonds during the first six months of the year. Investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, returned a negative 0.10 percent and the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Index, returned 2.90 percent. The second quarter saw U.S. Treasury yields rise resulting in their first quarterly loss since 2013. Fears of an imminent Federal Reserve rate increase outweighed demand for safe-haven assets and as a result bond prices suffered. The U.S. Treasury 30-year yield increased almost 60 basis points during the second quarter, from 2.54 percent to 3.11 percent, producing a negative 10.44 percent return for the quarter and a negative 5.97 percent for the year-to-date period. Despite the backdrop of global turbulence and soft spots in the domestic economy, expectations are for the Federal Reserve to raise short-term U.S. interest rates this year.

Once again, we thank you for the privilege of serving your financial needs and encourage you to work closely with your financial professional to continue to explore your options throughout all life’s stages.

Sincerely,

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Limited Maturity Bond Fund

The Penn Series Limited Maturity Bond Fund returned 0.87% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015. The Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Government/Credit 1-3 year Bond Index, returned 0.72% during the same period.

Our active management strategies focus on identifying the best relative value among short duration bonds as well as tactical duration and yield curve positioning as sources of value added performance for the Limited Maturity Bond Fund.

Asset allocation was an important contributor to the Fund’s performance as we have overweight positions in two structured product sectors: asset backed securities (ABS) and Agency commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS). The former continue to offer compelling relative value versus other short duration structured and corporate bond investments and will benefit directly from Federal Reserve tightening due to their floating rate coupons. The latter are securities linked to multifamily housing, a sector with strong supply and demand fundamentals.

Within the corporate sector, we maintained overweight positions in electric utilities, financials, and airlines; industries benefiting from stable business trends and positive operating momentum, and have generally avoided much of the shareholder friendly activity, which results in wider credit spreads. Another area of focus was on higher yielding short maturity corporate debt. The Fund seeks to identify high yield issuers with the potential for upgrades into the investment grade rate category; the upgrade of General Motors in June was one such example adding to performance.

From an interest rate perspective, the two-year Treasury note ended the second quarter at 0.66%, five basis points lower than the start of the year. Positive economic data in the United States, particularly in the labor markets, has been offset by negative headlines across the globe in Greece, China and Puerto Rico. We expect front-end yields to gradually move higher for the remainder of 2015 as investors begin to focus more on the prospects for Federal Reserve tightening.

We utilized derivatives to manage our portfolio duration. The predominance of floating rate CLO’s, which carry no duration, reduced our overall portfolio duration materially and we bought Treasury future contracts to offset this impact. Throughout most of the period, we maintained a modest short duration position versus our index, which

detracted from performance in the first quarter when rates deceased but benefited performance in the second quarter when rates rose.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Quality Bond Fund

The Quality Bond Fund returned 0.37% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015. The Fund’s index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -0.10% over the same period.

Asset allocation and security selection, as well as our duration and yield curve positioning all contributed to the Fund’s positive relative performance.

We continue to emphasize asset-backed floating rate debt at the front end of the yield curve, commercial mortgage backed securities (CMBS) among the intermediate maturities, and high quality corporate bonds at the long end of the yield curve.

Our overweight positions in two structured product sectors, asset backed securities (ABS) and Agency CMBS have outperformed investment grade corporates. ABS’s continue to offer compelling relative value versus other short duration structured and corporate bond investments and will benefit directly from Federal Reserve tightening due to their floating rate coupons. The Agency CMBS positions we have purchased are linked to multifamily housing, a sector with strong supply and demand fundamentals.

In the investment grade corporate sector, record new issuance and merger and acquisition activity have caused the asset class to post negative total and excess returns year to date. We maintained overweight positions in health care, financials, and railroad industries benefiting from stable business trends and positive operating momentum. Moreover, we have generally avoided credits engaged in material shareholder friendly activity, which results in wider credit spreads. We have taken advantage of the significant new issue discounts of companies that have come to market to finance large acquisitions. For example, we initiated positions in high quality credits such as CVS and Cardinal Health after they experienced the above mentioned spread widening. From a credit quality perspective, we have limited energy and metal and mining exposure, two volatile and underperforming sectors in the period, and we continue to keep the Fund’s high yield exposure modest until better value emerges.

From an interest rate perspective, the 30-year Treasury bond rose by 33 basis points to 3.13% while the two-year Treasury note declined five basis points to 0.66% during the period. The yield curve steepening so far this year represents a reversal of the flattening trend during 2014. Generally improving economic conditions in the U.S.

(despite a second consecutive weather-related slowdown during the first quarter), stabilization of energy prices, and a sell-off in European interest rates (albeit from very low levels) have contributed to the recent increase in longer-term U.S. rates. We expect a flatter yield curve going forward as front-end yields respond to the prospects for Federal Reserve tightening in 2015, while long term rates are anchored by yield focused intuitional investors and sluggish global growth.

We utilized derivatives to manage our portfolio duration during the first six months of 2015. Given our view for higher short term rates we maintained a modest short duration position versus our index, which detracted from performance in the first quarter when rates decreased but benefited performance in the second quarter when rates rose.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

High Yield Bond Fund

The Penn Series High Yield Bond Fund returned 3.55% in the first half of 2015 while its benchmark, the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Index, returned 2.90%.

The Fund outperformed the Credit Suisse High Yield Index during the six-month period due mainly to solid credit selection in the media/telecom sector. Conversely, credit selection in the services sector weighed on performance.

High yield bonds posted positive results during the first six months of the calendar year. Investors took notice of marked improvement in valuations after the fourth-quarter sell-off, and money poured into the asset class early in the period. However, factors such as rising Treasury rates, uncertainty about Greece’s future in the eurozone, volatility in equities, and outflows all pressured high yield bonds later in the second quarter.

The energy sector continued its rebound from the first quarter but languished in June while metals and mining names, particularly in the coal industry, have yet to recover from last year’s weakness. From a quality perspective, B rated bonds were well positioned to outperform as rising Treasuries weighed on higher qualities and general risk-aversion sentiment impacted lower-rated credits. The average spread-to-worst for the J.P. Morgan Global High Yield Index finished the period at 562 basis points. The yield-to-worst on the index ended at a compelling 7.09%, considering the relatively rich valuations in 2013 and the majority of last year.

Year-to-date issuance totals are slightly trailing the same period last year. With an overall increase in merger and acquisition related activity year-to-date at the expense of refinancing, net new issuance is above last year’s levels through June. This year, of the 21 companies that have defaulted so far, two-thirds are energy- or metals and mining-related, including credits in the coal industry.

Credit selection within the media/telecommunications sector was the largest contributor to relative performance. We have positioned our portfolio to benefit from mergers and acquisitions in the broad media space. Many of the recent transactions have been strategic in nature and have been positive for bond holders. For example, our high-conviction overweight position in Altice, which has been a key player in European cable industry consolidation, performed strongly in the period as a result of accretive acquisitions and earnings growth from improved margins.

In the services sector, our position in Transworld Systems, a debt collection services company, weighed on relative performance. The bonds have traded lower as the company has experienced ongoing weakness in its student loan and health care segments from 2014. While the student loan outlook remains murky based on Department of Education contract renewals, the health care segment has seen improvements this year. We remain holders of the name at these levels based on valuations.

We are cautious in the near term as reduced liquidity and volatile rates along with global risks from Greece and China could produce a challenging environment. Valuations are compelling, though, and aside from the uncertainty emanating from the energy sector, the fundamentals underpinning the companies in the high yield market appear solid. Issuers have repaired their balance sheets, reduced capital costs, and extended maturities through refinancing activity over the past several years.

Flexibly Managed Fund

The Penn Series Flexibly Managed Fund returned 3.47% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to its benchmarks the S&P 500 Index’s return of 1.23% and the Merrill Lynch Corporate/Government Index’s return of –0.19%.

For the six-month period, the Fund outperformed its all-equity benchmark, the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s equity holdings drove outperformance as the equity portion significantly outperformed the S&P 500 Index. The Fund’s fixed income segment posted a positive return for the period.

U.S. stocks generated mixed performance in 2015’s second quarter. Major indexes reached all-time highs in May or June, but they closed below their highs after a sharp sell-off at the end of June. For most of the period, merger activity and a strengthening economy supported the stock market. U.S. bond returns were mostly negative.

During the period, our equity weight remained relatively unchanged. We rotated into the traditionally defensive health care, consumer staples, and utilities sectors, while we lowered our exposure to the more cyclical consumer discretionary and energy sectors. We continued to maintain exposure to covered calls, which give us the benefits of owning a stock while providing downside protection.

Our overall weight to fixed income securities decreased during the period. High yield securities outperformed their investment-grade counterparts, supported by rising oil prices and moderate levels of new issuance. As a result, we were able to trim select high yield energy holdings. High yield remains our largest fixed income asset class. Given our concern about rates rising over the intermediate term, we continued to lower the portfolio’s duration in order to provide protection from rising rates.

On a relative basis, the health care sector boosted relative performance, due to our sizable overweight and stock selection. Cigna’s shares rose as Anthem made several bids to acquire the company at progressively higher prices because the insurer is an attractive target for a larger managed care company. In both information technology and consumer staples, stock selection and favorable underweights aided relative results. The telecommunication services sector detracted on a relative basis due to our underweight allocation. Stock selection in the energy sector also detracted but this was offset by a favorable underweight.

After reaching its sixth year in March, the bull market in U.S. equities continued during the second quarter, reaching record highs before the sell-off in late June. Given the market’s extended strength, rich valuations across asset classes, and mounting uncertainty around the globe, our outlook remains cautious and we expect more modest returns than in recent years.

With the extended market advance, the portfolio remains more conservatively positioned and focused on our highest-quality ideas, bearing in mind our commitment to capital preservation. As always, we remain committed to finding the best risk-adjusted opportunities across the asset class spectrum.

Balanced Fund

The Penn Series Balanced Fund returned 0.68% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to its benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index’s return of 1.23% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of –0.10% for the same time period.

The Balanced Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 60% to an equity fund and 40% to a fixed income fund. The equity allocation of the Fund is comprised of the Penn Series Index 500 Fund which seeks a total return that corresponds to that of the S&P 500 Index. The fixed income allocation of the Fund consists of an allocation to the Penn Series Quality Bond Fund.

At the broad asset class level, the Balanced Fund’s equity allocation performed in line with the S&P 500 Index for the year-to-date period. The Fund’s fixed income allocation outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the year-to-date time period. Contributing to performance of the fixed income allocation of the Fund was the more conservative duration, or interest rate exposure, and sector allocation of the underlying individual fixed income fund versus the broad market Index.

Large Growth Stock Fund

The Penn Series Large Growth Stock Fund returned 6.95% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 3.96% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

The Fund delivered positive returns for the six months ended June 30, 2015, notably outpacing the benchmark Russell 1000 Growth Index. Stock selection was the main reason for relative outperformance, but group weighting was also positive. Health care, consumer discretionary, and consumer staples were the leading relative outperformers. Information technology and industrials and business services were the largest detractors.

U.S. stocks generated gains in the six months ended June 30, 2015. Several major indexes reached all-time highs in May or June, but they retreated in the sharp sell-off at the end of June amid worries about the financial crisis in Greece. During the first three months, stocks rose on optimism about stabilizing oil prices and monetary stimulus overseas. In the second quarter, stock market performance was mixed. Sector performance in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index was mixed. Health care and telecommunication services outperformed, while utilities, energy, and industrials posted losses. As measured by Russell indexes, large-cap stocks underperformed small- and mid-caps, while growth stocks outperformed value shares.

Health care was the leading outperformer, largely driven by stock selection, but notable overweighting of the strongest-performing sector in the benchmark also benefited results. Holdings in the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries strongly contributed to relative performance. Shares of Valeant Pharmaceuticals rose following the release of better-than-expected results for the first quarter, driven by gains in Asia and Mexico, despite currency headwinds. Management raised its outlook for the year and expects Salix Pharmaceuticals, acquired in February, to contribute $1 billion in revenue this year.

Consumer discretionary outperformed mainly on stock selection, but overweighting the second-strongest performer in the Russell index also helped. Shares of Amazon.com soared after the company announced strong Amazon Prime membership growth and said that it would break out financial results for its Amazon Web Services unit for the first time. The stock rose further after the profitability of Amazon Web Services reported by the firm was much higher than expected.

Information technology was the leading relative detractor, due to stock selection. Alibaba shares exhibited weakness after Chinese government officials said early in the year that the company did not take sufficient measures to prevent the sale of counterfeit goods. The stock has recovered some of its loss. Despite temporary headwinds, we have a favorable outlook on Alibaba as the dominant e-commerce platform in China. Underweighting Apple hurt relative performance as strong iPhone sales continued. We remain underweight as we believe that a decelerating product cycle will eventually hamper iPhone growth.

Industrials and business services underperformed mainly due to stock selection.

The outlook for U.S. equities remains generally positive, but after a six-year bull run during which the S&P 500 rose more than 200% without a significant correction, investors may have grown too complacent about the risk of short-term market volatility. Equities still appear attractive when measured against very low Treasury yields, but their valuations make them vulnerable to increased interest rates. Companies will have a harder time expanding margins by cutting costs, and only companies that are executing well will be able to achieve solid profit growth.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Large Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Large Cap Growth Fund returned 1.07% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 3.96% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Early in the period, the European Central Bank cut policy interest rates deeper into negative territory and announced non-conventional easing measures, a notable highlight amid a mini-wave of global easing due to declining inflation and inflation expectations.

A dominant trend for most of the period was the ongoing rise in US equities alongside a decline in US and global bond yields. A rising dollar and a sharp decline in commodity prices, particularly crude oil prices, negatively impacted credit markets, notably U.S. high yield and emerging market debt. The higher weightings of oil and gas credits in these asset classes resulted in widening spreads and increased volatility. Toward the end of the period, global bond yields rose abruptly, shrugging off concerns over a Greek debt default. The rise tempered the equity advance, as odds of a 2015 U.S. Federal Reserve rate hike increased. At the end of the period, the stronger U.S. dollar slowed revenues in many U.S.-based multinational companies.

Stock selection in the leisure and technology sectors detracted from performance relative to the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Within the leisure sector an overweight position in global media company 21st Century Fox hampered relative returns. Within the technology sector an underweight position in computer and personal electronics maker Apple, and overweight positions in data storage systems provider EMC and enterprise software products maker Oracle also weighed on relative results.

Weak security selection in the health care sector was another factor for relative underperformance. Here, not holding biotech firm Gilead Sciences hurt relative returns as the stock outpaced the index during the reporting period.

Stock selection in the consumer staples sector also weighed on relative results led by overweight positions in global consumer products company Colgate-Palmolive and nutrition company Mead Johnson Nutrition.

A combination of overweight position and weak stock selection in the industrial goods & services sector dampened relative performance. Within this sector, an overweight position in facilities maintenance products supplier W.W. Grainger weakened relative results.

In other sectors, the Fund’s avoidance of strong performing internet retailer Amazon.com and an overweight position in investment management firm Franklin Resources also detracted from relative returns.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s relative currency exposure, resulting primarily from differences between the Fund’s and the benchmark’s exposure to holdings of securities denominated in foreign currencies, detracted from relative performance. All investment decisions are driven by the fundamentals of each individual opportunity and as such, it is common for our portfolios to have different currency exposure than the benchmark.

An underweight allocation to the transportation sector contributed to relative performance. The Fund’s avoidance of poor-performing transportation services provider Union Pacific bolstered relative results.

A combination of strong stock selection and overweight position in the special products & services sector also aided relative returns. Within this sector, overweight positions in consumer credit reporting company Equifax and management consulting firm Accenture helped relative performance.

Elsewhere, the Fund’s avoidance of wireless communications software company QUALCOMM, software giant Microsoft, financial services company American Express, semiconductor manufacturer Micron Technology and beverage maker Coca-Cola supported relative results. Additionally, overweight positions in polpropylene manufacturer Lyondellbasell Industries and precision instruments manufacturer Mettler-Toledo International also aided relative returns.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Large Core Growth Fund

The Penn Series Large Core Growth Fund returned 2.06% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 3.96% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Challenged stock selection in the information technology sector was the primary source of weakness during the first half of the year. While sector performance in consumer discretionary was mixed and overall hurt performance, stock selection within the sector provided some positive offset. Health care also had mixed results but select names were strong performers. An underweight, along with some selection benefit, to consumer staples and materials provided a tailwind to performance.

Our position in Union Pacific weighed heavily on performance. A material slowdown, coupled with a general softness in the transportation and agricultural sector, has caused tonnage volumes to be weaker than expected. These headwinds were exacerbated by a plunge in coal prices during the most recent quarter. As coal prices dropped, some rail stocks saw valuation compression and disconnection from longer-term fundamentals.

As we seek to identify firms with direct leverage to improving consumer confidence, exposure to the media industry was reduced. Advertising trends for traditional broadcast networks have shown signs of weakness and ratings began to reflect the shift from the networks to other viewing media. Ratings at Twenty-First Century Fox suffered the largest hit among the major networks. We sold our position in the stock.

Positioning within the technology sector detracted from performance in the quarter on concerns of a weakening personal computer cycle. Caught up in the sell-off of personal computer related stocks were portfolio holdings Western Digital and Micron Technology. We believe Western Digital remains well positioned to benefit from cloud storage growth going forward, so maintained our position in the stock. Micron is a leading provider of DRAM memory to not only PCs, but to faster growing market segments such as cloud computing and smart phones. Rapid, instantaneous computing requires DRAM memory, and that need continues to expand with the proliferation of smart phones globally and computing in the cloud. Therefore we maintained our position in Micron as well.

The materials sector is not typically rich in opportunities for our true growth style. During the first half, however,

Vulcan Materials proved to be a significant contributor to absolute and relative performance. The provider of raw materials into asphalt and cement construction gained over 20% as investors began to appreciate strength in the company’s end markets.

Amazon.com and Nike were strong contributors within the consumer discretionary sector. Shares of Amazon.com continued to outperform after a difficult 2014. The company has, at least temporarily, been quiet about new spending initiatives and delivered operating leverage and profit margins that surprised to the upside. More importantly, for the first time Amazon reported financial results for its Amazon Web Services segment. Shares of Nike rose after the company showed accelerating sales in its women’s division. This key segment had historically underperformed peers, but Nike is executing a strategy for new product development, distribution, and branding targeted to female customers.

Palo Alto Networks continued a strong run of outperformance. Due to the proliferation of high profile hacks and data breaches, Palo Alto’s network firewall solutions are proving to be highly valuable to enterprise and governmental customers. Spending on security and data protection has exploded in recent years and Palo Alto has been a key beneficiary.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals was a strong contributor within health care. For a company that has independently developed multiple successful drugs, most notably Eylea to treat macular degeneration and blindness, investor excitement grew at the likelihood of a new drug to manage cholesterol.

Large Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Large Cap Value Fund returned 0.52% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the –0.61% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index.

The Fund turned in strong performance on an absolute and relative basis over the past six months. Contribution to return, as well as individual stock selection, was particularly strong in the health care, materials, consumer staples and financials sectors. Detracting from absolute performance were the information technology, energy, consumer discretionary and utilities sectors. However, stock selection within information technology and large underweights in the energy and utilities sectors offset this on a relative basis.

The most significant individual contributors were UnitedHealth Group, Eli Lilly and Company and Vulcan Materials. The stock valuation of United Health Group, a managed care company, continued to move higher as investors became less concerned regarding margins in their commercial business and more focused on the growth opportunities in their Medicare, Pharmacy Benefits, and Healthcare information technology businesses. Eli Lilly’s shares outperformed due to increased investor optimism regarding its late-stage pipeline of potential new therapies, particularly Evacetrapib for statin-intolerant high cholesterol patients and Solanezumab, which is being studied in mild Alzheimer’s patients. Vulcan Materials Company, a producer of construction aggregates, benefited from a good earnings report, a well-received analyst day and a profitable US-Centric business model.

Laggards included Norfolk Southern, National Oilwell and Knowles Corporation. The profitability of Norfolk Southern, a rail transportation company, has been impacted by worse-than-expected volumes, driven by weak coal demand and higher investment in rail service; earnings estimates have been trending down materially for the entire railroad group. National Oilwell Varco, an equipment provider in the oil and gas industry, underperformed on concerns that the offshore capital equipment market may face a protracted downturn, augmented by the Petrobras corruption scandal in Brazil, which has increased cancellation risk for a portion of the company’s revenue backlog tied to Petrobras. Knowles, an advanced acoustic component company, reported first-quarter guidance that was substantially lower than investors anticipated due to lost fixed-cost leverage from

another quarter of not selling its microphones, due to a design flaw, into the iPhone. Management did not articulate the issue well or provide full-year guidance; causing investors to question whether subsequent quarters will also face substantial margin pressure, even though Knowles is once again selling into the iPhone.

On a sector level, the Russell reconstitution (annual rebalance of their benchmarks) occurred at the very end of second quarter. On a relative basis, this resulted in increasing our overweight in consumer discretionary and health care and increasing our large underweight in the energy sector. It also converted our modest overweight in the information technology sector to an underweight. Therefore, with no action taken in the Fund, there are fairly large differences in variation from the benchmark quarter over quarter, as our sector weights are driven by bottom-up stock selection not sector allocation.

Looking ahead, mergers and acquisitions continue unabated. Despite attempts by the U.S. Government, tax-related “synergies” continue to be a driving force, and the insurance industry is the latest group to jump into the fray. Overall, fundamentals are reasonably good, but valuations reflect that stocks aren’t absolutely cheap, and tensions appear high as well. We would be more cautious on the equity markets if we sensed euphoria, or complacency, on the part of investors. Instead, every mention of “caution,” “over-valuation” or even “bubble” by pundits has the effect of mitigating the very issue being written or spoken about. Therefore, we continue to believe the market will be range bound over the near term.

Large Core Value Fund

The Penn Series Large Core Value Fund returned 0.60% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the –0.61% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index.

Under the backdrop of conflicting economic signals and ongoing geopolitical issues, equity markets registered fairly choppy results over the six month period, with a host of competing factors impacting investors’ collective psyche.

On the positive front, the job and housing markets continued to strengthen, with new and existing home sales hitting multiyear highs during the period. Additionally, consumer confidence rose, and both retail sales and auto sales exhibited strength.

At the same time, several factors weighed on investor sentiment including developments in China and Greece. China’s stock market, a top global performer earlier in 2015, plunged in June on worries about slowing economic growth and excessive equity valuations. In Europe, stimulus measures by the European Central Bank spurred stock gains early in the period before shares retreated amid mounting anxiety over the Greek crisis.

The Fund’s outperformance during the period was primarily driven by strong stock selection, most notably in consumer staples and financials, which more than offset unfavorable sector allocation results.

In consumer staples, overweight positions in Reynolds American and Kroger, as well as not owning Procter & Gamble, a large constituent of the Index, benefited relative performance. In financials, an overweight position in JPMorgan and not owning Berkshire Hathaway contributed to relative results. Among other top individual relative contributors included overweight positions in Eli Lilly, Home Depot, and XL Group.

Stock selection within health care detracted from performance, most notably the Fund’s underweight exposures to strong-performing UnitedHealth Group and Pfizer. Elsewhere, the Fund’s holding in QUALCOMM, C.H. Robinson, and Oracle were among the top detracting positions. From a sector allocation perspective, the Fund’s modest overweight exposure to Consumer Staples detracted from relative performance.

The second quarter of 2015 was a fairly active period for the Fund, as a number of bottom-up decisions led to

portfolio changes. Of note, the Fund saw an increase in its industrials exposure. Specifically, we saw opportunity in some of the industrial conglomerates. To that end, we increased our position in General Electric, as we believe we may be entering a new cycle that rewards sound capital allocation and potential divestitures. In Information Technology, we initiated a position in chipmaker Intel. The company had seen its stock price under pressure, which provided a solid entry point into a leading franchise that we believe is poised to improve as the personal computer market rebounds and Intel gains share in the cloud.

Sales activity during the quarter included trimming some winners in consumer staples, such as grocery retailer Kroger, which has seen its valuation expand in 2015. In energy, we consolidated our holdings by stepping away from Chevron and seeking to add to existing positions with what we perceive to be more compelling valuations and more attractive risk/reward profiles.

We believe the characteristics of the Fund’s underlying portfolio have continued to reflect strength when compared to its benchmark, including data that suggested a higher expected long-term earnings per share (EPS) growth rate and higher profitability ratios, combined with similar valuation metrics.

Going forward, many investors will be focused on the Fed for a possible September increase in short-term interest rates, which have been anchored near zero since 2008. While some market observers warn that the Fed’s first rate hike could have a negative impact on stocks, others believe the likelihood of rising rates may already be built into equity valuations. These latter observers point to stocks’ fairly muted reaction to the ongoing rate discussion, along with the market’s positive response to the Fed’s pledge to raise rates slowly.

Index 500 Fund

The Penn Series Index 500 Fund returned 1.06% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 1.23% return for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.

After a turbulent January for equity markets, volatility subsided through the month of February as oil prices stabilized and the aggressive pace of global central bank actions witnessed the prior month moderated. After the Royal Bank of Australia cut rates on February 3, the remainder of the month was moderately quiet from a central bank standpoint. Data releases in the U.S. remained upbeat for the month, beginning on February 6, with the release of stronger than expected U.S. Non-Farm Payroll numbers. The positive tone of economic U.S. economic data pushed yields on U.S. 10 year bonds higher after having fallen sharply the prior month. U.S. equity markets traded down slightly on the jobs report as expectations increased that the U.S. economy is gaining strength and that the Federal Reserve may have an opportunity to raise rates in the not too distant future.

In April, the first quarter 2015 U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) report indicating a less than expected 0.2% annualized rate of growth disappointed expectations on negative impacts from net exports and non-residential construction. However, the disruptions in West Coast ports and poor weather likely contributed to the plunge in non-residential construction. After April’s bumpy ride for equity investors, May offered some respite as volatility subsided. Also housing started to rebound impressively in April to the highest rate so far in this recovery and the highest since November 2007. It is unclear if this is the start of a new and stronger trend in home starts or merely reflects starts that may have been delayed due to poor winter weather. In June, U.S. Large Cap Indices continued to trade in a tight range in June with the S&P 500 Index hitting a high on June 23 for the month and a low on June 29, a mere 3.2% spread. For all of 2015 in fact the U.S. market as gauged by the S&P 500 Index has been extremely tentative in direction, never up more than 3.5% or down more than 3.2% during the first six months of 2015, the tightest mid-year trading range on record, according to a Ben Levinson dispatch in Barron’s. For the month, the S&P Total Return Index finished the month down 1.9%.

Looking ahead, we anticipate that global growth will continue to proceed at a modest pace led by the United States. As the Federal Reserve contemplates a “lift-off” in rates, policy divergence will continue to play an important

role in relative return outcomes both on a local and currency adjusted basis.

Mid Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Mid Cap Growth Fund returned 3.49% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 4.18% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index.

Consumer discretionary and information technology were the two significant detractors in the first half of the year. In our consumer discretionary group, several of our specialty retailer stocks were quite weak, including Kate Spade, Ralph Lauren, and DSW, all over concern about sales growth related to consumer spending, in general, and some company specific issues. Signals that the handbag category is weakening across many retail concepts has been problematic for the stock of Kate Spade, although that company is still in an early phase of growth and is likely to take market share within the category. Negative currency trends and weaker sales trends have pushed out the earnings recovery at Ralph Lauren. The stock of shoe retailer DSW has been weak related to concerns about consumer spending and the company’s ability to realize sales and margin gains in a competitive environment.

Despite having many strong names in information technology, including Electronic Arts, ServiceNow, and Ansys, the strength was superseded by weakness in three particular names: Sandisk, Pandora Media, and Teradata. Sandisk was weak after the news of the sluggish fourth quarter and 2015 outlook, and then weakened further with another soft business outlook late in the first quarter. The stock of Pandora Media continues to struggle under controversy surrounding the outcome of a royalty board decision expected later this year, in addition to concerns about the pace of growth of their business. We think that Pandora represents one of the best internet media properties, with the opportunity to continue building a vibrant business around a sizable streaming music user base, and that the royalty board outcome will not be unfavorable to the company. Teradata has fallen victim to a tight information technology spending environment with security solutions taking share from data analytics given the high profile security breaches in corporate America.

Our financial stocks generated the greatest contribution of outperformance on the basis of strong stock selection, as we were slightly overweight this underperforming sector. The Fund is well-invested in bank stocks, particularly regional and trust banks, while the Index is only lightly invested in bank stocks. Strong returns from Signature Bank of New York, First Republic Bank, and Northern Trust,

all potential beneficiaries of the rate increases seen in the first half of the year, led our financials sector to an 13.5% gain. The index is heavily weighted in real estate investment trust stocks, which struggled, in contrast to bank stocks, as rates rose.

We were overweight health care, financials, information technology, and energy in the first half of 2015. The materials sector was our largest absolute underweight sector, followed by consumer discretionary, industrials, telecommunications services, consumer staples, and utilities.

Our outlook for the stock market remains cautiously constructive, as it has been for much of the year. The U.S. economy is in a growth — albeit a slow growth — mode. Economies elsewhere in the world remain challenged, which restricts the ultimate strength of U.S. companies and the economy. Our preference for high quality growth companies with stable and sustainable earnings profiles and strong balance sheets will serve our investors well should the economy struggle to regain a faster growth rate as it progresses through 2015. We will continue to invest in well-managed growth companies in the key growth areas of the economy, including health care, information technology, consumer discretionary, some aspects of consumer staples, financials and industrials. Health care remains our biggest overweight sector, as we continue to find many opportunities to invest in interesting long term growth companies in that sector.

Mid Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Mid Cap Value Fund returned 3.04% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 0.41% return for its benchmark, the Russell Micap Value Index.

Not much has changed with the investment environment during the last several months. Investors continue to wait for the Fed “lift off,” the domestic economy strengthened after a sluggish first quarter, corporate profits are stronger (excluding energy-related companies) than some analyst’s estimates, and easy monetary policies remain in place around the world. The international backdrop has recently become more of a concern, but it is our belief that the situation in Greece will be contained. The improving U.S. economy has led to a much more robust labor market and consumer income and wealth have increased meaningfully. We believe this improvement in financial conditions for consumers will likely result in sustained domestic growth, potentially outweighing the uncertainty created by the recent turmoil in foreign markets.

We continue to position the Fund for higher interest rates and stronger domestic growth. In what has become a stock pickers market, our emphasis remains on identifying financially strong companies that have dynamic management teams focused on creating shareholder value. We believe this focus is even more important given the market’s lofty valuation levels. Additionally, it is key as a contrarian value investor, to continue to initiate new investment ideas in higher-quality companies that could hold up better during the inevitable market declines.

The Fund benefited from our overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector, especially in the first quarter. We believe that lower oil prices and continued gains in employment and wages could eventually lead to higher consumer spending. Stock selection in this sector also helped, with several companies exceeding earnings expectations. The Fund was also aided by the general rise in interest rates, as we are underweighted relative to the benchmark in utilities and financial services. Most of the regional banks we own are interest rate sensitive and we are significantly underweighted REIT’s, which came under a lot of selling pressure during the second quarter. On the negative side, we have been (in recent quarters) and continue to be underweighted to the health care sector. In our opinion, the recent M&A frenzy in this sector has driven valuations way too high for the value buyer. Finally, our substantial overweight position in the producer durables area also hurt performance during the quarter. As

the period progressed, several stocks outperformed due to strong earnings reports and two of our energy related holdings benefitted from the bounce back in oil prices. On the negative side, some of our companies reported weaker earnings than expected and the stocks declined. We reviewed the investment cases for these companies and believe that our investment theses are still intact. One of our financial services holdings, a REIT, also came under pressure due to the rise in interest rates during the quarter.

With the domestic economy improving, the Fed is likely to raise rates sometime in 2015, in our opinion. As inflation appears under control, we believe any Fed hike will be slow and moderate. Additionally, investors may start to move their focus to next year’s earnings, which will likely benefit from the overlapping of the drop in oil prices and the strength of the U.S. dollar. Under this scenario, we think the market can move up during the second half of the year, but finding the right stocks will be the key to outperformance. We are confident that our focus on quality companies undergoing change will fare well in such an environment.

Mid Core Value Fund

The Penn Series Mid Core Value Fund returned 0.67% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 0.41% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index.

In the first quarter, the U.S. economy continued a solid, moderately paced recovery, oil prices stabilized following a significant decline, and the energy sector overall performed poorly. In March, the Federal Reserve issued a statement removing “patient” from its language, but also stressed it will be flexible regarding the pace and timing of rate increases. Over the second quarter, U.S. markets were generally flat, though multiple indices set new records.

Five of the 10 sectors in the Index generated positive returns. The health care sector performed well, driven by consolidation among managed care companies, while hospitals benefited from the U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding subsidies to states participating in federal health insurance exchanges. Among mid caps, the telecommunication services sector underperformed as some of the larger weights in the group have large exposure to the declining landline business. Utilities and REITs, both sensitive to interest rate changes, underperformed as interest rates rose. Conversely, several other industries in the financials sector performed well, as many financial institutions will benefit from higher rates.

The Fund generated positive absolute returns in five of the 10 sectors in which it was invested. On a relative basis, the Fund outperformed as a result of security selection.

In the financials sector, security selection contributed the most to relative performance. The Fund’s overweight position relative to the benchmark in Northern Trust contributed as the company benefited from increasing interest rates and continued success from cost-cutting efforts. The stock price for HCC Insurance Holdings rose after the announcement that it would be acquired by Tokio Marine Holdings at a significant premium to its price at the time.

Security selection in the food products industry led the contribution from the consumer staples sector. A position in Kraft appreciated after the company announced a merger with Heinz during the first quarter, and the team exited the position. ConAgra Foods contributed as activist hedge fund Jana Partners purchased a stake in the company.

Security selection in the industrials sector detracted overall, but the sector was the source of top contributor Exelis. During the first quarter, the aerospace and defense company was acquired by competitor Harris Corp. in a cash and stock deal at approximately a 35% premium over the company’s share price at the time.

Selection among information technology companies was the greatest detraction from relative performance. SanDisk’s stock sold off after the company reduced guidance earlier this year. The team believes the flash memory firm will benefit from increased use of solid state drives. A position in Micron Technology had a negative impact on relative results amid weakness in the PC-build segment. As a result, the semiconductor company’s prices dropped faster than its costs, hurting the share price.

The Fund’s position in CenturyLink detracted along with other companies in the telecommunication services sector with exposure to the declining landline business. A position in trucking company Heartland Express declined along with other transport companies that have underperformed across the industry this year. Additionally, the company’s integration of its acquisition of Gordon Trucking has moved more slowly than anticipated.

The Russell indices were reconstituted in late June, shifting some of the Fund’s relative weightings. The Fund’s largest overweights are in the consumer staples, information technology, health care, and industrials sectors. In the financials sector, the Fund remained significantly underweight in REITs, as the team continues to find valuations unattractive in the space. The Fund is also underweight in the materials and utilities sectors.

SMID Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series SMID Cap Growth Fund returned 9.62% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 8.09% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index.

Positive contribution was primarily the result of stock selection in the information materials, energy, and consumer discretionary sectors. Stock selection in consumer staples provided a headwind to performance.

Among the strongest portfolio contributors in the information technology sector, Tableau Software, reported stellar results during the quarter. The business intelligence and data analytics software company is becoming the de facto standard across large enterprises. Palo Alto Networks continued a strong run of outperformance. Due to the proliferation of high profile hacks and data breaches, Palo Alto’s network firewall solutions are proving to be highly valuable to enterprise and governmental customers.

Weakness within technology was visible in the services industry as Yelp declined over 22%. The company’s longer term profitability potential was called into question after reporting decelerating growth trends. The disappointing top line sales growth coupled with higher marketing and acquisition costs caused us to determine to sell the position. Also within the technology sector, weakness was visible in portfolio holding Shutterstock. Despite reporting strong quarterly results, the provider of online digital photo content saw its share price moderate as investor concern mounted regarding increased competition and foreign exchange headwinds. In the technology hardware and equipment industry, Nimble Storage, proved to be a detractor. The data storage platform provider met quarterly financial expectations; however, management’s first quarter earnings guidance left investors somewhat disappointed.

Taser International was a strong contributor within the industrials sector. After declining in the first quarter, shares of Taser International posted strong returns in the second on better-than-expected financial results. In addition to manufacturing public safety equipment, the company sells body-worn camera systems and an associated cloud based video subscription service. Additionally, the company’s video subscription service is increasingly valuable in efforts to enhance public safety.

Axalta Coating Systems is a manufacturer of paint and performance coatings for the automotive industry. The global coatings industry is experiencing strong demand as the recovery in sales of trucks and automobiles gains momentum.

Selection within the health care sector generated mixed results during the quarter. BioMarin Pharmaceuticals and Novavax were examples of strength in the sector with both posting strong year to date advances. DexCom is a leader in the diabetes market. DexCom continues to deliver very strong results, and recently received approval for an integrated iPhone app. The app launch overcomes a significant hurdle, as the FDA had previously not allowed a medical app on a smartphone without the smartphone being approved as a medical device.

Further weakness was seen in shares of Align Technology. The maker of the clear Invisalign dental braces has an accelerating growth profile and should benefit from improving consumer spending. However, shares of Align lagged during the period as investors remained cautious given management’s description of 2015 as an “investment” year. We have maintained our position and feel the company still has the ability to exceed expectations this year.

While considerable uncertainty remains within the equity market, it is becoming increasingly clear that the U. S. consumer is well positioned. Lower gas prices, a strong U.S. dollar, and an improving job market with early signs of wage growth should provide tailwinds to those firms levered to U.S consumer spending. The portfolio benefitted from our anticipation of these trends by an increase in our consumer exposure during the period. ServiceMaster Global Holdings contributed to period returns. The company, which operates a number of business lines including pest control and home warranty issuance, is benefitting from improving U.S. household formation trends.

SMID Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series SMID Cap Value Fund returned 1.91% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 1.71% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index.

U.S. equity markets have been strong over the last six months. However, recently increased anxiety about a potential Greek default and exit from the eurozone led to a sudden spike in volatility.

For the first half of the 2015 year, the Fund rose in absolute terms and outperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index. Sector allocation and security selection both contributed to returns. Security selection was positive due primarily to strong financials and materials holdings. Individual contributors varied by sector. Stocks that outperformed included Meritage Homes which reported better-than-expected sales and orders driven by lower mortgage rates and improvements in its key Arizona market. Spirit AeroSystems’ shares rose after reporting fourth quarter 2014 results that were ahead of expectations and introducing 2015 free cash flow guidance that was well ahead of consensus.

Security selection in the industrials and consumer-staples sectors detracted from relative performance. Individual detractors were companies where investors reacted to company-specific catalysts. For example, Bloomin’ Brands, an operator of restaurant chains, underperformed. The company reported same-store sales below consensus expectations, fueling fears of a further slowdown in traffic growth for its restaurants. Milk producer and direct-to-store distributor Dean Foods also underperformed. Dean reported lower-than-expected earnings and guidance as the stronger gross profit per gallon it achieved on milk sales was offset by higher-than-expected overhead expenses.

We believe that the smaller-cap market environment continues to overlook companies with the deeper-value characteristics that make up much of our portfolio. Instead, investor anxiety about Greece, volatile oil prices and potential future interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve has driven strong returns for stocks in sectors perceived to be sheltered from these pressures. As a result, health care stocks have been standouts in performance over the past year while more cyclical stocks have lagged. This sharp performance differential has created what we see as an opportunity to selectively add attractively valued, high-quality stocks with strong company catalysts.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Small Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Growth Fund returned 8.11% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 8.74% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Our holdings in the health care and information technology sector were the largest detractors from relative results. Our stock selection in the consumer discretionary and materials sectors were the largest contributors to relative performance.

Stratasys was our largest detractor. The stock was down due to a slowdown in demand for some of its 3-D printers during the period, but we believe this is temporary and continue to like the stock. The company makes and sells 3-D printing services, which companies use in computer-assisted design. We believe that we are in the early innings of the use of 3-D printers, which should gain wider adoption since they speed up the design process from concept to physical product.

ChannelAdvisor was another large detractor. The company helps other businesses manage, monitor, and optimize their merchandise sales in various online channels. The stock was down after the company reported disappointing fourth quarter revenues. The fourth quarter saw a rapid shift in buying behavior, with consumers doing more of their holiday shopping on large e-commerce sites that offer a better mobile shopping experience. ChannelAdvisor makes less revenue from the shopping that takes place on these larger platforms. We are currently reviewing the position to assess how ChannelAdvisor will respond.

Rexnord Corp. was another detractor. The stock was down due to a challenging general industrial end-market and some weather-related project delays for one of its business segments. We continue to like the company. Rexnord conducts process and motion control, as well as water management operations. The company offers gears, seals, couplings, industrial and aerospace bearings, special components, industrial chain, conveying equipment, grade specification plumbing, water treatment and waste water control products. We consider Rexnord a high-quality industrial firm with stable core business segments and strengthening end markets.

While the aforementioned stocks disappointed during the period, we were pleased by the results of many other companies in the Fund. Synageva BioPharma was our top contributor to absolute performance. The stock was up

after the company was acquired by Alexion Pharmaceuticals. We believe Synageva has a strong platform for producing human proteins that are used in enzyme replacement therapy to treat orphan genetic diseases, and given the attractive series of drugs under development, we were not surprised to see Alexion pay a hefty price for the company in a heated acquisition market.

Blackbaud was another top contributor. The stock has been up the past few months as the market has received more confirmation about the growth potential of the company. Blackbaud provides technology solutions designed to improve fundraising for the nonprofit industry. Fundraising is clearly a critical function for that industry, and Blackbaud’s solutions have proved an effective proposition for improving those fundraising efforts.

Carter’s was another top contributor. The stock was up after the company reported strong sales growth and the market received more confirmation that margin expansion can continue for the company. Carter’s embodies many of the characteristics we typically look for in companies. We think there is more stability to Carter’s business than most clothing companies because there is less fashion risk in infants’ clothing. Carter’s already has a dominant market share in baby clothing, and is a trusted brand for new parents, but we believe there is great growth potential as Carter’s further monetizes its brand by operating its own direct-to-consumer web site and opening more of its own stores.

Small Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Value Fund returned 2.39% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 0.76% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index.

During the first half of 2015, investments in the financials and consumer discretionary sectors contributed to results, whereas the information technology and utilities sectors detracted from results.

During the first quarter, SM Energy, an oil and natural gas exploration and production company, was a top contributor to performance. At the beginning of February, shares of SM Energy rose sharply after the company preannounced fourth quarter production and reserve growth that exceeded consensus expectations. Jack in the Box, a company that operates and franchises Jack in the Box and Qdoba Mexican Grill restaurants, was also a top contributor to returns. In February, its shares traded higher after Jack in the Box reported better-than-expected fiscal first quarter results, highlighted by robust same-store sales growth and market share gains at both Jack in the Box and Qdoba.

Virtus Investment Partners, an asset management company that operates a diversified sub-advisory and multi-manager platform and offers a broad array of investment products, was a top detractor from performance. Its shares underperformed after the company experienced above-trend quarterly outflows in a number of its key investment strategies. The outflows resulted in lower net operating revenues and margins, which caused Virtus’ fourth quarter earnings to fall short of expectations.

Chesapeake Lodging Trust, an owner of upscale hotels in key gateway markets in the U.S., was also a top detractor from returns. After posting impressive gains in 2014, with a particularly strong double-digit move in December, its shares traded lower in the first quarter as investors took profits and transitioned capital into weaker relative performers. We continue to have high conviction in the company’s strategy and assets over the remainder of this hotel cycle.

During the second quarter, Bank of the Ozarks, a regional bank with operations primarily located in the Southeastern U.S., was a top contributor to performance. Its shares rose steadily after the company announced better-than-expected first quarter earnings, largely driven by strong

loan growth. Investors also reacted positively to news that Bank of the Ozarks would be acquiring Bank of Carolinas, thus expanding its footprint in North Carolina.

Vanda Pharmaceuticals, a company focused on the development and production of treatments for central nervous system disorders, was also a top contributor. We initiated a position in the company when we believed its shares were trading at an undeserved valuation discount due to investor concern that one of the company’s products, Hetlioz, was being prescribed more slowly than expected.

Esterline Technologies, a specialized manufacturer of engineered technology serving the aerospace and defense markets, was a top detractor from performance during the second quarter. Its shares declined after the company missed earnings estimates and lowered earnings guidance for the year. Despite recent headwinds, we continue to believe shares of Esterline Technologies are attractively valued and we are positive on the long-term earnings potential of the company.

KapStone Paper & Packaging, a manufacturer of paper container products, was also a top detractor from returns. Its shares traded lower after the company announced disappointing earnings, which management attributed to industry headwinds, specifically a stronger U.S. dollar which hurt pricing and challenged operating performance.

We continue to believe U.S. equities have further upside potential as the U.S. economy accelerates and as real earnings growth serves as a fundamental driver of performance going forward. We believe that U.S. corporate fundamentals are strong, evidenced by both healthy balance sheets and earnings resilience, and could provide companies with a number of options to increase shareholder value. While we are cognizant of potential headwinds, such as foreign exchange volatility or unanticipated changes in monetary policy, we ultimately remain constructive on the direction of U.S. equity markets.

Small Cap Index Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Index Fund returned 4.26% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 4.75% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index.

After a turbulent January for equity markets, volatility subsided through the month of February as oil prices stabilized and the aggressive pace of global central bank actions witnessed the prior month moderated. After the Royal Bank of Australia cut rates on February 3, the remainder of the month was moderately quiet from a central bank standpoint. Data releases in the U.S. remained upbeat for the month, beginning on February 6, with the release of stronger than expected U.S. Non-Farm Payroll numbers. The positive tone of U.S. economic data pushed yields on U.S. 10 year bonds higher after having fallen sharply the prior month. U.S. equity markets traded down slightly on the jobs report as expectations increased that the U.S. economy is gaining strength and that the Federal Reserve may have an opportunity to raise rates in the not too distant future.

In April, the first quarter 2015 U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) report indicating a less than expected 0.2% annualized rate of growth disappointed expectations on negative impacts from net exports and non-residential construction. However, the disruptions in West Coast ports and poor weather likely contributed to the plunge in non-residential construction. After April’s bumpy ride for equity investors, May offered some respite as volatility subsided. Also housing started to rebound impressively in April to the highest rate so far in this recovery and the highest since November 2007. It is unclear if this is the start of a new and stronger trend in home starts or merely reflects starts that may have been delayed due to poor winter weather. In June, U.S. Large Cap Indices continued to trade in a tight range in June with the S&P 500 Index hitting a high on June 23 for the month and a low on June 29, a mere 3.2% spread. For all of 2015 in fact the U.S. market as gauged by the S&P 500 Index has been extremely tentative in direction, never up more than 3.5% or down more than 3.2% during the first six months of 2015, the tightest mid-year trading range on record, according to a Ben Levinson dispatch in Barron’s. For the month, the S&P Total Return Index finished the month down 1.9%.

Looking ahead, we anticipate that global growth will continue to proceed at a modest pace led by the United States. As the Federal Reserve contemplates a “lift-off” in rates, policy divergence will continue to play an important role in relative return outcomes both on a local and currency adjusted basis.

Developed International Index Fund

The Penn Series Developed International Index Fund returned 5.98% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 5.88% return for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index.

2015 began with a flurry of divergent Central Bank policy moves in response to an uneven global growth outlook, rapidly declining global inflation and a major anticipated expansion of quantitative easing by the European Central Bank (ECB). The Swiss National Bank delivered an early surprise for global markets on January 15 by removing the peg between the Swiss Franc and the Euro in place since 2011. The Bank of Canada (BoC) provided further shock therapy on January 21 by unexpectedly cutting overnight rates by 0.25% to 0.75%. Canadian stocks and bonds rallied, but the Canadian dollar traded down 2.5% on the news. On January 22, the ECB announced a larger than expected Quantitative Easing (QE) program scheduled to begin in March and set to continue through September 2016. The Eurostoxx Index had its strongest monthly performance since June of 2012. By the end of January, Denmark, Singapore, India and Turkey also eased policy by cutting interest rates while Brazil hiked rates.

Coming in to March, the outlook for global investors appeared to be improving with equity market volatility declining substantially in February. The improvement in mood was supported by anticipation of a larger than initially expected quantitative easing program from the ECB and a late February agreement between the European troika and Greece to extend bailout terms for four months. Very quickly into the month, however, fresh news came into the markets that raised uncertainties anew. On March 1, China eased administered rates, and maybe more consequentially, lowered its GDP forecast for 2015 to “about” 7%. Emerging market equities, commodities and indeed global equities traded lower on the news.

April provided a bumpy ride for investors exposed to a number of recent popular trends in the market. After rising for nine consecutive months on anticipated policy divergence, the U.S. dollar declined nearly 4% for the month reflecting in part a softening in U.S. data and a later expected start to possible Fed rate hikes. Oil prices rose sharply in April with West Texas crude up 25.3% and Brent crude up 21.2%, the largest upward monthly move for Brent since 2009. In Europe, German 10 year bond yields capped a long stretch of continuous declines to as low as 5

basis points on April 19th before pacing a global bond sell off to end the month at 37 basis points. U.S. yields also moved sharply higher at the end of the month.

Markets in June were unsettled by a steady stream of worrying headlines from Europe as increasingly acrimonious negotiations between Greece and the Troika (European Commission, ECB and International Monetary Fund) to extend an existing bailout agreement came to an impasse. Near the end of the month a framework to release bailout funds to Greece to make that IMF payment still seemed possible with a hoped for last minute agreement. Those expectations were quickly dashed, however, by a surprise announcement by the Greek government to hold a referendum on a final set of austerity proposals by Greece’s creditors to unlock a final tranche of bailout funds.

Looking ahead, we anticipate that global growth will continue to proceed at a modest pace led by the United States. Europe shows the most potential to contribute more to global growth given the initiation of aggressive policy support from the ECB in March of this year. As the Federal Reserve contemplates a “lift-off” in rates, policy divergence will continue to play an important role in relative return outcomes both on a local and currency adjusted basis.

International Equity Fund

The Penn Series International Equity Fund returned 2.78% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the 4.35% return for its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index.

Novo Nordisk reported robust results for the first quarter. Novo Nordisk has both dominant market share as well as industry leading products. The group is the leading drug company focused on diabetes care. Novo Nordisk is highly focused on its few core therapeutic areas and rewards shareholders with industry leading growth rates and cash returns.

Housing Development Finance released numbers that were in-line with expectations, but were muted by a deferred tax charge. It is well-placed for long-term growth as it is the leader in mortgage lending in India, with margins supported by industry-leading low costs from both efficient operations and low borrowing costs due to its excellent credit history. HDFC has been around since 1977 and is usually considered a “gold standard” in terms of corporate governance and risk management.

Sands China, as well as other Macau-exposed gaming stocks, were weak for the first half of 2015 for largely the same reasons that they have been weak over the past year. Gross gaming revenue in Macau is still under pressure as the Chinese government crackdown on corruption as well as the economic weakness on the mainland has hurt visitation growth and gambling appetite. However, as we have detailed before, our conviction on the Macau space has not changed over the long term, even while the nearer and medium term horizon has been cloudy. We still believe it presents tremendous opportunities for highly profitable growth and strong cash returns for shareholders.

Going forward, the environment in Macau is starting to look better. The local Macau government, having now felt the industry’s pain via meaningfully lower gaming tax levels, has recently signaled that it is ready to try and do its part to help support the industry. Roughly one year ago, the government tightened restrictions for tourists in Macau on transit visas, and they have now moved to reverse those restrictions. This positive change, while merely incremental and certainly not a cure for what really is hurting Macau, essentially allows for longer and more frequent stays for those that use transit visas.

After a hefty tax increase in the first quarter, ITC’s stock continued to decline in the second quarter. This excise

increase came after four years of large duty hikes. Over that time period, volumes declined, but profits increased as ITC passed the tax increases onto its customers and we expect that formula to continue. Over the long term, as incomes rise, we expect tobacco use to switch to manufactured cigarettes, which only represent 15% of tobacco use, giving a long runway of growth to ITC. As India’s dominant tobacco franchise, ITC has, we believe, the distribution, brands, wide price points and management to capture this demand. Additionally, British American Tobacco (BAT) is a large minority owner of the company, and ITC has access to BAT’s innovation pipeline, global industry knowledge and international brands.

China’s extraordinary equity rally has largely been fueled by speculative activity, not improving economic fundamentals. Our China Internet holdings remain well-positioned, and we still remain cautious about adding exposure to other sectors.

While we remain significantly overweight, we expect Brazilian stocks to remain under pressure and have trimmed our holdings in the banking sector. We have been net sellers of Indian stocks due to valuations, though we have maintained a large exposure to Financials. We expect elevated market volatility and sluggish growth to persist globally through year-end. That said, our portfolios are positioned to be resilient in this challenging macroeconomic environment.

Emerging Markets Equity Fund

The Penn Series Emerging Markets Equity Fund returned 4.34% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to its benchmarks the MSCI Emerging Markets Index’s return of 3.12%.

During the reporting period, overall Fund performance benefited from our stock selection. Stock selection in India was the top contributor to performance. India was one of the best-performing markets over the period, as economic growth recovers and the fiscal and current accounts are aided by the drop in oil prices. Stock selection in Taiwan and South Africa were additive as well.

The Fund’s underweight allocation to Malaysia as well as stock selection there were beneficial to performance. Malaysia was among the weaker performers in emerging markets, as lower oil prices were a headwind for the market. The Fund had no holdings in Turkey, which was an additional contributor to performance. Turkey underperformed on macroeconomic concerns surrounding its chronic current account deficit, combined with declining foreign direct investment and political concerns that current Prime Minister Erdogan would overstay his term.

The Fund’s overall country allocation detracted from performance over the reporting period. The Fund’s large underweight position in China was the primary detractor from performance over the reporting period. The Chinese market performed well, driven by strong demand for equities. However, from mid-June to the end of the period the Chinese market declined. The Fund’s underweight allocation to Russia as well as stock selection in the market dampened returns. The growth outlook for the Russian economy remains poor, in our view, as it continues to be hurt by capital outflows, a weaker currency and low oil prices, as well as the impact of economic sanctions. The Fund’s stock selection in Mexico hurt returns, particularly holdings in a cement company and an industrial conglomerate. Both were hit by falling oil prices and a delay in new infrastructure and energy projects related to implementation of the country’s new energy reform.

The Fund is underweight Russia, given the poor growth outlook for the economy, which we believe over the medium term will continue to be hurt by capital outflows, a weaker currency and the lower oil price environment, as well as the impact of economic sanctions.

We believe that while the Brazilian government’s policy mix appears to be improving at the margin, much of the adjustment that needs to be made by the Brazilian

economy still lies ahead. Growth continues to decline while inflation moves higher. The economy is in recession, and very weak consumer and business sentiment, as well as a softening labor market, will further weigh on sentiment.

The Fund’s biggest regional overweight position is in Eastern Europe, particularly in Poland. After two recessions in five years, Western European growth is recovering and we expect the continuation of this trend to benefit Central Europe. Early signs have been encouraging; deflation in Europe looks to have bottomed and consumer confidence and retail sales in Poland in particular are picking up.

India is another area of opportunity for the Fund given our view that the market’s low weight in the benchmark does not reflect the still positive trend from improving economic growth, a narrowing current account deficit and compelling earnings prospects among select companies. India is not likely to undertake a big bang reform under the Modi administration, but incremental improvements should be supportive to the market’s longer-term prospects.

The Philippines has remained a country of growth under the reformist Aquino administration, though we note that valuations have become extended and 2015 is the president’s penultimate year in office. The Fund remains overweight the market as we believe that earnings growth will likely respond to the country’s strong economic growth.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Real Estate Securities Fund

The Penn Series Real Estate Securities Fund returned –4.94% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to the –5.67% return for its benchmark, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index.

Following a strong start to the year, U.S. real estate investment trusts (REITs) fell back in the second quarter to post negative returns for the six-month period. The group came under pressure amid a difficult combination of mixed economic signals and rising bond yields. Gross domestic product (GDP) contracted at an annualized rate of 0.2% in the first quarter, a sharp contrast with the previous quarter’s 2.2% growth. However, other aspects of the U.S. economy were relatively healthy, including job growth, housing activity, bank lending, and consumer confidence and spending.

Sovereign bond yields moved higher in response to generally improving global economic conditions. Better economic data in Europe and Japan helped lift bond yields off record lows reached earlier in the year, and U.S. bond yields rose in tandem, but also in anticipation of a possible Federal Reserve interest-rate hike in 2015. Although rate concerns often weigh on REIT returns in the short term, over longer periods REIT performance has been positively associated with rising rates, both of which tend to be propelled by stronger economic growth.

Returns were negative for most property types, despite continued strong fundamentals for U.S. commercial real estate, as reflected in earnings that generally met high expectations. Health care property REITs were among the poorest performers in the quarter. The sector underperformed due to its perceived bond-like characteristics in a period of rising yields, even as health care REITs have been transitioning to more economically sensitive business models over the years.

The shopping center and regional mall sectors underperformed, even as tenants continued to exhibit strong interest in proven assets. Self storage companies were top performers, drawing support from strong earnings, with year-over-year rental growth running as high as 10%. Apartment landlords (0.8%) also outperformed with a gain, amid sustained household formation that has kept demand ahead of supply. Even apartments in markets vulnerable to lower oil prices, such as Houston, have so far shown a fair degree of resilience.

The Fund had a negative total return for the period, although it outperformed its benchmark. Our overweight and stock selection in the apartment sector helped relative performance. In the hotel sector, we had beneficial positions in certain out-of-index companies that performed well. Our underweight and stock selection in health care REITs also contributed to relative performance. Stock selection in the office sector detracted from performance, as it did in the shopping center sector.

We expect U.S. economic activity to accelerate after a slow start to the year, with GDP expanding nearly 2.5% in 2015. Continued employment and wage growth should support further strength in consumer confidence, in our view, and we expect to see a more-pronounced benefit from lower gasoline prices in the coming months. These potentially favorable demand trends should be met with continued low levels of new supply in most sectors.

Based on our view of a resumed expansion in the U.S. economy, we believe commercial real estate fundamentals will continue to strengthen, driving further increases in cash flows, net asset values and dividend distributions. This top-down perspective has led us to prefer cyclically sensitive short-lease sectors. However, our bottom-up analysis has also identified companies offering compelling relative value in traditionally noncyclical sectors. We believe that one area of potential opportunity at present is health care, where certain stocks are trading at discounts to underlying property values for the first time in years.

Aggressive Allocation Fund

The Penn Series Aggressive Allocation Fund returned 2.51% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 1.94% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of –0.10% for the same time period.

The Aggressive Allocation Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 95% equity funds, both active and passive, and 5% fixed income funds. The equity allocation of the Fund is comprised of domestic equity funds ranging from large capitalization funds to small capitalization funds as well as developed international and emerging markets equity funds and the fixed income portion is primarily allocated to intermediate-term bond funds.

At the broad asset class level, the Aggressive Allocation Fund’s equity allocation outperformed its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index for the year-to-date period. Contributing to the Fund’s performance versus its equity benchmark at the asset class level was the Fund’s allocation to developed international equity asset class as developed international stocks, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, outperformed domestic equity indices for the period. Also contributing to performance was exposure within the small cap growth asset class. Negatively impacting performance at the asset class level was exposure to real estate and large cap value. From an underlying fund perspective, the strongest year-to-date contribution within equity came from its allocation to the Mid Cap Value Fund.

The Fund’s fixed income allocation performed in line with the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the first six months of the year.

The Fund is continually reviewed to help ensure that it remains consistent with its investment objective by making adjustments, when necessary, of specific sub-accounts within an asset class as well as automatic rebalancing of the Fund on a quarterly basis.

Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund

The Penn Series Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund returned 2.29% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 1.94% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of –0.10% for the same time period.

The Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 80% equity funds, both active and passive, and 20% fixed income funds. The equity allocation of the Fund is comprised of domestic equity funds ranging from large capitalization funds to small capitalization funds as well as developed international and emerging markets equity funds. The fixed income portion is primarily allocated to intermediate-term and short-term bond funds.

At the broad asset class level, the Moderately Aggressive Allocation Fund’s equity allocation outperformed its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index for the six-month period. The strongest year-to-date contribution to performance within equity at the asset class level came from its allocation to developed international equity. This performance was due to the fact that developed international stocks, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, outperformed domestic equity stocks. While at the asset class level developed international exposure helped performance, at the underlying fund level, this international exposure detracted from the Fund’s performance.

In addition to developed international equity, contributing to the Fund’s equity performance versus its benchmark was the Fund’s asset class allocation to small cap growth and large cap growth. Asset class exposure to real estate and large cap value were the largest detractors from Fund performance during the period.

The Fund’s fixed income allocation slightly outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the six-month time period.

The Fund is continually reviewed to help ensure that it remains consistent with its investment objective by making adjustments, when necessary, of specific sub-accounts within an asset class as well as automatic rebalancing of the Fund on a quarterly basis.

Moderate Allocation Fund

The Penn Series Moderate Allocation Fund returned 1.80% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 1.94% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of –0.10% for the same time period.

The Moderate Allocation Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 60% equity funds, both active and passive, and 40% fixed income funds. The equity allocation of the Fund is comprised of domestic equity funds ranging from large capitalization funds to small capitalization funds as well as developed international and emerging markets equity funds and the fixed income portion is primarily allocated to intermediate-term and short-term bond funds.

The Fund’s equity allocation outperformed its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index, due to asset class allocations to developed international equity and small cap and large cap growth. Negatively impacting performance from an asset class level were allocations to both real estate and large cap value. The Fund’s fixed income allocation also outperformed its broad fixed income benchmark mainly due to its asset class exposure to high yield bond.

At the underlying fund level, the Fund’s allocation to intermediate-term bonds contributed the most to relative performance while its allocation to developed international equity detracted from performance.

The Fund is continually reviewed to help ensure that it remains consistent with its investment objective by making adjustments, when necessary, of specific sub-accounts within an asset class as well as automatic rebalancing of the Fund on a quarterly basis.

Conservative Allocation Fund

The Penn Series Conservative Allocation Fund returned 1.02% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2015, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 1.94% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of –0.10% for the same time period.

The Conservative Allocation Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 80% fixed income funds and a target allocation of 20% in domestic and international equity funds, both passive and active. The fixed income funds predominately consist of short-term and intermediate-term bonds and the equity fund allocations consist of mostly large capitalization funds with a small exposure to developed international equity funds.

At the broad asset class level, the Conservative Allocation Fund’s fixed income allocation had a positive impact to performance as its asset allocation to short-term bonds and high yield bonds outperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the year-to-date time period. At the underlying fund level, the Fund’s allocation within intermediate-term bonds aided its performance.

The Fund’s equity allocation performed in line with its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index.

The Fund is continually reviewed to help ensure that it remains consistent with its investment objective by making adjustments, when necessary, of specific sub-accounts within an asset class as well as automatic rebalancing of the Fund on a quarterly basis.

Important Information about Fund Expenses

Hypothetical Examples of a $1,000 Investment (Unaudited)

 

We believe that it is important for you to understand the effect of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a participant in any of the Penn Series Funds, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio.

The Penn Series Funds are the underlying investment vehicles for the variable life and variable annuity contracts issued by The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary, The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company. These contracts have transaction costs, additional administrative expense fees and mortality and expense risk charges. Because of these additional expenses, the costs to investors will be higher than the figures shown in the following expense examples. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning January 1, 2015 and held through June 30, 2015. The examples illustrate your fund’s costs in two ways:

 

   

Actual Fund Performance in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The “Ending Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, 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 given for your fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

   

Hypothetical 5% Annual Return is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case — because the return used is not the fund’s actual return — the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s cost by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholders reports of other funds. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are only meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs of investing in the funds and do not reflect any fees and charges deducted under your insurance contract. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

Loan Agreements in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates which are periodically predetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the actual rate at June 30, 2015. Loan Agreements, while exempt from registration under the Security Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate Loan Agreements often require repayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.

* Non-income producing security.
144A @ Security sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, restricted and/or exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold only to dealers in the program or other “accredited investors”. Unless otherwise indicated, the security is considered liquid.
Variable Rate Security.
^ Illiquid security. The total market value of illiquid securities at June 30, 2015 is $4,644,081.
Loan Agreements in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates which are periodically predetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the actual rate at June 30, 2015. Loan Agreements, while exempt from registration under the Security Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate Loan Agreements often require repayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

1 — ORGANIZATION

Penn Series Funds, Inc. (“Penn Series”) was incorporated in Maryland on April 22, 1982. Penn Series is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, diversified management investment company. Penn Series is open only to purchasers of The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Penn Mutual”) and The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company insurance contracts and certain of Penn Mutual’s employee benefit plans.

Penn Series is presently offering shares in its Money Market, Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed, Balanced, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Growth, Large Core Growth, Large Cap Value, Large Core Value, Index 500, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Mid Core Value, SMID Cap Growth, SMID Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Index, Developed International Index, International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, Real Estate Securities, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation and Conservative Allocation Funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Penn Series also has the authority to issue shares in three additional funds, each of which would have their own investment objective and policies.

Fund of Funds (“FOFs”) – Each Penn Series FOF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other Penn Series Funds (“Underlying Funds”) and uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds. Each of the following is a Penn Series FOFs: Balanced, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation and Conservative Allocation Funds.

2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are followed by Penn Series in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material. The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 946.

SECURITY VALUATION:

Money Market Fund Investments in securities are valued using the amortized cost method as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which involves initially valuing investments at cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. This method approximates market value.

Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Growth, Large Core Growth, Large Cap Value, Large Core Value, Index 500, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Mid Core Value, SMID Cap Growth, SMID Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Index, Developed International Index, International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, Real Estate Securities Funds — Portfolio securities listed on a securities exchange or an automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available, including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the principal exchange or market on which they are traded on the valuation date or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price. Securities values according to these evaluation methods are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy described below. Debt and fixed income securities are valued by recognized independent third-party valuation services, employing valuation methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing for corporate bonds, floating rate notes, municipal securities and U.S. government and government agency obligations considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type and, for asset backed securities, commercial mortgage securities and U.S. government agency mortgage securities, also considers prepayment speed assumptions and attributes and performance of the underlying collateral. Securities valued according to these valuation methods are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy described below. To the extent that bid prices are provided by the pricing service, the Funds will use the bid price. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates as of the valuation date.

Options are valued at the last traded price on the market where such options are principally traded or, if there was no trade on such day, at the last bid quote. Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price on the market where such futures contracts are principally traded. Although derivatives may be subject to netting provisions, as discussed further in Note 7, derivatives held are valued at their gross amounts.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of third party pricing service security valuations, the Adviser or sub-adviser, as applicable, or the fund accounting service provider, who is subject to oversight by the Administrator, regularly monitor the prices and compare prices to alternate sources where applicable. Pricing challenges are issued for valuation differences exceeding certain tolerances or when considered not reflective of the market by the Adviser or sub-adviser, as applicable.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value prices determined using methods approved by the Penn Series Board of Directors. The Penn Series Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”), established by and subject to oversight by the Board of Directors, monitors pricing related policies and procedures and approves all fair value determinations. The Valuation Committee consists of representatives from Penn Mutual Asset Management, Inc. (“PMAM” or the “Adviser”), the investment adviser to each of the Funds, and Penn Mutual, the administrator to the Funds (the “Administrator”). The Valuation Committee regularly makes good faith judgments, using sources and information obtained, including recommendations and supporting rationales and inputs from the Adviser or the applicable sub-adviser, to establish and /or adjust fair valuations of securities as events occur and circumstances warrant. The information and inputs may include but are not limited to cost of the security, last sale price, private transaction trading prices, comparable publically traded security prices, discount rates, publically disclosed news stories and regulatory filings, estimated cash flows and yield curves. As part of its procedures, the Valuation Committee monitors the fair valued securities, considers additional news or significant developments relative to the specific security, reviews the valuations with the Adviser or respective sub-adviser on a regular basis and applies back testing procedures to valuations as applicable. Reasons for which securities may be valued in this manner include, but are not limited to, trading on an exchange for a security has been halted, suspended or has not begun, a security has been de-listed from a national exchange, trading on a security’s primary market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open, or valuation by a third party pricing service is currently not available or is no longer available.

Certain events may occur between the time that foreign markets close, on which securities held by the Fund principally trade, and the time at which the Fund’s NAV is calculated. These securities are valued at a fair value utilizing an independent third party valuation service in accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Directors. The methodology and procedures followed by the valuation service consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes as well as prices for similar securities. Securities valued using such valuation service are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as these adjustment factors are considered other observable inputs to the valuation. Values from the valuation service are applied in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold that has been established by the Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee has also established a “confidence interval”, which is used to determine the level of historical correlation between the value of a specific foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security will be fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Valuation Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Funds shall value the non-U.S. securities in their portfolios that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the adjusted prices provided by the fair valuation service.

The determination of a security’s fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors, and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value assigned to a security may be higher or lower than the security’s value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security was readily available.

Balanced, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation and Conservative Allocation Funds The valuation of each Fund’s investment in its Underlying Funds is based on the net asset values of the Underlying Funds each business day.

Fair value measurements are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that

 

193


Table of Contents

 

Penn Series Funds, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

market participants would use in pricing an asset. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:

 

   

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 in determining the fair value of investments)

Transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the six months ended June 30, 2015, if any, are shown as notes on the Schedule of Investments of the individual fund.

Significant Level 3 items at June 30, 2015 consist of $2,738,216 of equities in the Large Growth Stock Fund which were not publicly trading. The unobservable inputs used in valuing these securities include new rounds of financing, negotiated transactions of significant size between other investors in the company, relevant market valuations of peer companies and strategic events affecting the company. Significant increases (decreases) in the valuation indicated by the new rounds of financing, valuations observed through negotiated transactions between other investors in the company or changes in the market valuation of relevant peer companies would result in directionally similar changes to the fair value. Fair value determinations are reviewed and updated on a regular basis and as information becomes available, including actual purchase and sale transactions of the issue.

New Accounting Pronouncement In May 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-07 regarding “Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share”. The amendments in this update are effective for the Funds for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU No. 2015-07 will eliminate the requirement to categorize investments in the fair value hierarchy if their fair value is measured at net asset value (“NAV”) per share (or its equivalent) using the practical expedient in the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2015-07 and its impact on the financial statement disclosures has not yet been determined.

Foreign Currency Translation The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate the portion of realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

Loan Agreements Certain Funds may invest in loan agreements, also known as bank loans, which represent an interest in amounts owed by a borrower to a syndication of lenders. Bank loans may involve multiple loans with the same borrower under a single credit agreement (each loan, a tranche), and each tranche may have different terms and associated risks. A bank or other financial institution typically acts as the agent and administers a bank loan in accordance with the associated credit agreement. Bank loans are generally noninvestment grade and often involve borrowers whose financial condition is troubled or uncertain and companies that are highly leveraged. The Funds may buy and sell bank loans in the form of either loan assignments or loan participations. A loan assignment transfers all legal, beneficial, and economic rights to the buyer. Although loan assignments continue to be administered by the agent, the buyer acquires direct rights against

 

194


Table of Contents

 

Penn Series Funds, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

the borrower. In many cases, a loan assignment requires the consent of both the borrower and the agent. In contrast, a loan participation generally entitles the buyer to receive the cash flows from principal, interest, and any fee payments that the seller is entitled to receive from the borrower; however, the seller continues to hold legal title to the loan. As a result, with loan participations, the buyer generally has no right to enforce compliance with terms of the credit agreement against the borrower, and the buyer is subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the seller. Bank loans often have extended settlement periods, during which the fund is subject to nonperformance by the counterparty.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized using the effective interest method. The cost of investment securities sold is determined by using the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are directly charged. Common expenses of the Funds are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors, generally based on average net assets. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds of the FOFs.

DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Except for the Money Market Fund, all or a portion of each Fund’s undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investment and foreign exchange transactions, if any, at December 31, 2014 were deemed distributed as consent dividends to each respective Fund’s shareholders in place of regular distributions. As consent dividends, shareholders of each Fund agree to treat their share of undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investment and foreign exchange transactions, if any, at December 31, 2014, respectively, as dividend income and net capital gains for tax purposes. In the case of the Money Market Fund, dividends paid from undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investments are declared daily and paid monthly.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. To the extent that these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require such reclassification. Distributions from net realized gains may involve short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The character of distributions received from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) held by a Fund is generally comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the policy of the Funds to estimate the character of distributions received from the underlying REITs based on historical data provided by the REITs. As of year-end, differences between the estimated and actual amounts are reflected in a Fund’s records.

3 — INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER CORPORATE SERVICES

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

Effective September 10, 2009, Penn Series, on behalf of its Money Market Fund, PMAM, and Penn Mutual, entered into an agreement whereby PMAM and Penn Mutual may temporarily and voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in excess of their current fee waiver and expense reimbursement commitments in an effort to maintain a minimum net distribution yield for the Money Market Fund. Under the agreement, PMAM and Penn Mutual may, subject to certain minimum yield criteria, as well as a prospective three-year reimbursement period, recapture from the Money Market Fund any fees or expenses waived and/or reimbursed under this arrangement. These reimbursement payments by the Fund to PMAM and/or Penn Mutual are considered “extraordinary expenses” and are not subject to any net operating expense limitations in effect at the time of such payment. This recapture could negatively affect the Fund’s future yield.

If, at the end of each month, there is no liability of PMAM and Penn Mutual to pay the Funds such excess amount, and if payments of the advisory fee or administrative and corporate services fee at the end of prior months during the preceding three fiscal years have been reduced in excess of that required to maintain expenses within the expense limitation, such excess reduction is eligible to be recaptured by PMAM and Penn Mutual and, if recaptured, would become payable by the Funds to PMAM and Penn Mutual along with the advisory fee or administrative and corporate services fee for that month, as applicable. Penn Mutual and/or PMAM’s election not to recapture the amount of any reduction and reimbursement to which it is entitled in no way impairs the rights of Penn Mutual and/or PMAM to subsequently recapture such amount, provided that such amount remains eligible for recapture and would not cause the Fund to exceed its expense limit for that fee payment period.

As of June 30, 2015, the following Funds had waived and/or reimbursed administrative and corporate services fees that are subject to potential recapture by Penn Mutual through the periods stated below. If not recaptured, the waiver and/or reimbursed administrative and corporate services fees will expire according to the table below:

6 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes. As such, each Fund is required to distribute all investment company taxable income and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders in order to avoid the imposition of entity-level federal, state, and local income taxes as well as an entity-level excise tax. Except for the Money Market Fund, to the extent any Fund had undistributed investment company taxable income and net capital gains at December 31, 2013, such undistributed investment company taxable income and net capital gains were deemed distributed as consent dividends in place of regular distributions. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal, state, or local income and excise taxes.

On December 22, 2010, The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act amended several tax rules impacting the Funds. Some highlights of the enacted provisions are as follows:

The Act allows for capital losses occurring in the taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) to be carried forward indefinitely. However, the Act requires any future gains to be first offset by post-enactment losses before using capital losses incurred in the taxable years beginning prior to the effective date of the Act (“pre-enactment losses”). As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment loss carryforwards have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Furthermore, post-enactment losses will retain their character as either long-term capital losses or short-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term capital losses as under previous law.

The Act provides that a RIC may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late-year loss for such taxable year as arising on the first day of the following taxable year. The term “qualified late-year loss” means any post-October capital loss and any late-year ordinary loss.

The Act also contains simplification provisions, which are aimed at preventing disqualification of a RIC for “inadvertent” failures of the asset diversification and/or qualifying income tests.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts:

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or accumulated net realized gain or net investment income, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of December 31, 2014, primarily attributable to consent dividends, reclass of capital gains tax income recognized from pass-through entities, the disallowance of net operating losses, the tax treatment of Passive Foreign Investment Companies, the redesignation of dividend distributions, the reclassification of net foreign currency exchange gains or losses and the reclassification of paydown losses were reclassed between the following accounts:

The differences between book basis and tax basis appreciation are primarily due to wash sales, Passive Foreign Investment Companies, Partnership Investments, Trust Preferred Securities, real estate investment trust adjustments, and the treatment of certain corporate actions.

It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.

Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

7 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Funds may trade derivative financial instruments in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to market risks such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts.

The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Funds have in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

Futures Contracts — A futures contract is a standardized contract between two parties to buy or sell a specified asset at a specified future date at a price agreed today (the future price). The party agreeing to buy the underlying asset in the future assumes a long position. The price is determined by the instantaneous equilibrium between the forces of supply and demand among competing buy and sell orders on the exchange at the time of the purchase or sale of the contract.

To the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various derivative-based transactions. The Index 500, Developed International Index and Small Cap Index Funds employ futures to maintain market exposure and otherwise assist in attempting to replicate the performance of their respective indices. These derivatives offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment objectives. The Funds typically use derivatives in two ways: cash equitization and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by the Funds through the use of futures contracts to earn “market-like” returns with the Funds’ excess and liquidity reserve cash balances and receivables. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in the Funds. By purchasing these instruments, the Funds may more effectively achieve the desired fund characteristics that assist in meeting the Funds’ investment objectives.

Futures contracts involve a number of risks, such as possible default by the counterparty to the transaction, credit risk with respect to initial and variation margins held in a brokerage account, market movement and the potential of greater loss than if these techniques had not been used by a Fund. These investments can also increase the Fund’s share price and expose the Fund to significant additional costs.

The Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, Index 500, Small Cap Index and Developed International Index Funds have entered into futures contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Open futures contracts held by the Index 500, Developed International Index and Small Cap Index Funds at June 30, 2015 were as follows:

The total market value of futures contracts held in the Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, Index 500, Developed International Index and Small Cap Index Funds as of June 30, 2015 are classified as Level 1.

Options — An option establishes a contract between two parties concerning the buying or selling of an asset at a reference price. The buyer of the option gains the right, but not the obligation, to engage in some specific transaction on the asset, while the seller incurs the obligation to fulfill the transaction if so requested by the buyer. The price of an option derives from the difference between the reference price and the value of the underlying asset plus a premium based on the time remaining until the expiration of the option. The Funds may buy and sell options, or write options.

Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operation.

The Flexibly Managed and Mid Cap Growth Funds have purchased options to decrease exposure to equity risk. The risk associated with purchased options is limited to premium paid. The Funds also received premiums for options written. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Funds are unable to close the contract.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — A forward currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are traded directly between currency traders and their customers. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by each Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset.

The High Yield Bond, Mid Core Value and Emerging Markets Equity Funds entered into forward currency contracts in conjunction with the planned purchase or sale of foreign denominated securities in order to hedge the U.S. dollar cost or proceeds. The Funds hedge currencies in times of base currency weakness in order to reduce the volatility of returns for the local securities which the Fund owns.

Foreign forward currency contracts involve a number of risks, including the possibility of default by the counterparty to the transaction and, to the extent the portfolio manager’s judgment as to certain market movements is incorrect, the risk of losses that are greater than if the investment technique had not been used. For example, there may be an imperfect correlation between the Fund’s portfolio holdings of securities denominated in a particular currency and the forward contracts entered into by the Fund. An imperfect correlation of this type may prevent the Fund from achieving the intended hedge or expose the Fund to the risk of currency exchange loss. These investment techniques also tend to limit any potential gain that might result from an increase in the value of the hedged position. These investments can also increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and expose the Fund to significant additional costs.

In order to better define their contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate their counterparty risk, the Funds may participate in International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements (“ISDA Master Agreement” or “ISDA”) with derivative contract counterparties or enter into similar agreements covering foreign exchange contracts (“Fx Letters”). An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) traded derivatives and foreign exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Also, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. An Fx Letter is also a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty and is limited to cover only foreign exchange contracts. Fx Letters typically contain netting provisions covering events of default and do not require collateral to be posted. ISDAs and Fx Letters containing netting provisions may be referred to as Master Netting Agreements (“MNA”).

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker for OTC traded derivatives or by the clearing house for exchange traded derivatives. Brokers can ask for margining in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives (foreign currency exchange contracts and options). For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due

to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

8 — CREDIT AND MARKET RISK

The Funds may invest a portion of their assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Funds’ ability to dispose of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or preferable to do so.

The high yield securities in which the High Yield Bond Fund may invest are predominantly speculative as to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. The value of the lower quality securities in which the High Yield Bond Fund may invest will be affected by the credit worthiness of individual issuers, general economic and specific industry conditions, and will fluctuate inversely with changes in interest rates. In addition, the secondary trading market for lower quality bonds may be less active and less liquid than the trading market for higher quality bonds.

The High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Core Value, Small Cap Growth, Developed International Index, International Equity and the Emerging Markets Equity Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States, as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.

9 — CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

In the general course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, management of the Funds expects the risk of loss to be remote.

10 — NEW REGULATORY MATTERS

On July 23, 2014, the Securities and Exchange Commission voted to amend the rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which currently govern the operations of the Money Market Fund (the “MMF”). The most significant change resulting from these amendments is a requirement that institutional, non-government (prime and municipal) money market funds transact fund shares based on a “floating” market-based NAV. Retail money market funds (funds designed to ensure all beneficial owners are natural persons) and government money market funds (funds that invest at least 99.5% of their assets in cash, government securities, and repurchase agreements collateralized by government securities) may continue to transact shares at an a stable $1.00 NAV calculated using the amortized cost valuation method. Among additional disclosure and other requirements, the amendments will also permit a money market fund, or, in certain circumstances, require a money market fund (other than a government money market fund) to impose liquidity fees on all redemptions, and permit a money market fund to limit (or gate) redemptions for up to ten business days in any 90-day period. The amendments have staggered compliance dates. The majority of these amendments will impact the MMF beginning on October 14, 2016. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these amendments and their impact to the MMF’s financial statements and accompanying notes.

11 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Penn Series Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) and Penn Mutual Asset Management, Inc. (“PMAM”), formerly Independence Capital Management, Inc., have entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, PMAM (i) provides day-to-day investment management services to the Money Market, Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, Balanced, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation, and Conservative Allocation Funds (collectively, the “Directly Managed Funds”) and (ii) is responsible for the selection and oversight of various investment sub-advisers who perform day-to-day investment management services for the High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Growth, Large Core Growth, Large Cap Value, Large Core Value, Index 500, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Mid Core Value, SMID Cap Growth, SMID Cap Value, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Index, Developed International Index, International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity and Real Estate Securities Funds (collectively, the “Sub-Advised Funds” and, together with the Directly Managed Funds, the “Penn Series Funds”).

PMAM acts as a “manager of managers” for the Sub-Advised Funds. In this capacity, PMAM has entered into and the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) has approved separate sub-advisory agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Investment Advisory Agreements”) with each of the sub-advisers identified below (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”). The Sub-Advisers provide their services to the Sub-Advised Funds under the supervision of PMAM and the Board. Each Sub-Adviser is selected based primarily upon the research and recommendations of PMAM, which evaluates quantitatively and qualitatively each Sub-Adviser’s investment expertise and investment results in managing assets for specific asset classes, investment styles and strategies, as well as the Sub-Adviser’s regulatory compliance infrastructure and culture. PMAM oversees each Sub-Adviser to ensure compliance with the Sub-Advised Fund’s investment policies and guidelines, and monitors each Sub-Adviser’s adherence to its investment style and investment performance.

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that the initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, each Penn Series Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement(s) be specifically approved by: (i) the vote of the Board or by a vote of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Company’s Directors who are not “interested persons,” as defined in the 1940 Act (collectively, the “Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with its consideration of such approvals, the Board must request and evaluate, and PMAM and the Sub-Advisers are required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that, as part of their fiduciary duties with respect to a mutual fund’s fees, mutual fund boards are required to evaluate the material factors applicable to a decision to approve an Investment Advisory Agreement.

Board Approval of the Continuance of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Board called and held meetings on May 7, 2015 and May 14, 2015 (collectively, the “Meeting”) to consider whether to renew the Advisory Agreement between the Company and PMAM with respect to each Penn Series Fund. In preparation for the Meeting, the Board provided PMAM with a written request for information and received and reviewed, in advance of the Meeting, extensive written materials in response to that request, including information as to the performance of each Penn Series Fund versus its benchmark and peer universe, the level of the investment advisory fees charged to the Penn Series Fund, comparisons of such fees with the investment advisory fees incurred by comparable funds, including, in particular, funds acting as underlying investments for insurance products, the costs to PMAM of providing such services, including a profitability analysis, PMAM’s compliance program, and various other matters. In addition, at the Meeting, the Board considered whether to renew each Sub-Advisory Agreement between PMAM and each Sub-Adviser listed in the table below on behalf of its respective Sub-Advised Fund(s).

In response to the Board’s written request for information, each of the Sub-Advisers submitted, in advance of the Meeting, extensive written materials for consideration by the Board and the Independent Directors. The information provided by PMAM and the Sub-Advisers in connection with the Meeting was in addition to the detailed information about the Penn Series Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to the Funds’ operations and the Funds’ performance and the services of PMAM and the Sub-Advisers. In connection with the Meeting, the Board also received a memorandum from legal counsel regarding the responsibilities of the Board in connection with its consideration of whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreements. In addition, the Independent Directors met in executive session outside the presence of Company management to discuss the information submitted to the Board in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements. The Independent Directors also met in executive session with senior representatives of PMAM to discuss the written materials provided by PMAM.

The written materials provided by PMAM and the Sub-Advisers addressed, among other matters, the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of PMAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ investment management and other services and, with respect to PMAM, its services as a “manager of managers” of the Sub-Advised Funds; (b) PMAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ investment management personnel; (c) PMAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ operations and financial condition; (d) PMAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ brokerage practices (including best execution policies, evaluating execution quality, average commission rates on fund trades, soft dollar arrangements and affiliated and directed brokerage arrangements) and investment strategies; (e) a comparison of the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory fees to the fees charged to comparable funds or accounts, including breakpoints; (f) the level of PMAM’s and each Sub-Adviser’s cost of services provided and estimated profitability from its fund-related operations; (g) PMAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ risk management, compliance programs and, if applicable, a description of the material changes made to, and material compliance violations of, the compliance program; (h) PMAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ reputation, expertise and resources in domestic and/or international financial markets; and (i) each Penn Series Fund’s performance compared with similar mutual funds, other types of accounts and benchmark indices. In evaluating the advisory fees charged by PMAM, the Board reviewed both Lipper Analysis, which provided unbiased and non-consultative fee, expense and investment performance information based on asset size comparability, and PMAM’s internal analysis regarding PMAM’s total fund expense ratios and advisory fees compared to those of PMAM’s direct competitors.

At the Meeting, representatives from PMAM commented on the information delivered to the Board and answered questions from Board members to help the Board evaluate PMAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ fees and other aspects of the Investment Advisory Agreements. The Directors discussed the written materials that the Board received before the Meeting, and deliberated on the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements in light of this information.

At the Meeting, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreements and approved the selection of PMAM and the Sub-Advisers to act in their respective capacities for the Funds. The Board’s approval was based on its consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at the Meeting and at prior meetings during the year, including:

 

   

the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Penn Series Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreements, including the resources of PMAM and the Sub-Advisers dedicated to the Penn Series Funds;

 

   

each Penn Series Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of other comparable mutual funds and appropriate benchmarks/indices;

 

   

the fees charged to each Penn Series Fund under each Investment Advisory Agreement and how those fees compared to those of other comparable mutual funds and other types of accounts;

 

   

the cost of services provided by and the profitability of PMAM and the Sub-Advisers with respect to each Penn Series Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to PMAM and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, if any; and

 

   

the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Penn Series Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Investment Advisory Agreements reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Directors considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by PMAM and the Sub-Advisers to the Penn Series Funds and the resources of PMAM and the Sub-Advisers dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Directors evaluated, among other things, PMAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ business, personnel, experience, investment decision process, past performance, brokerage practices, including soft dollar practices, any conflicts of interest, compliance program and resources to be dedicated to each Fund. The Directors reviewed the scope of services to be provided by PMAM and the Sub-Advisers under the Investment Advisory Agreements and noted that there would be no significant differences between the scope of services required to be provided by PMAM and the Sub-Advisers for the past year and the scope of services required to be provided during the upcoming year. The Board also considered PMAM’s and the Sub-Advisers’ representations to the Board that PMAM and the Sub-Advisers, respectively, would continue to provide investment and related services that were of materially the same quality and quantity as services provided to the Funds in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Funds’ operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by PMAM and the Sub-Advisers to the Penn Series Funds and the resources of PMAM and the Sub-Advisers dedicated to the Penn Series Funds supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Fund Performance. The Directors considered fund performance in determining whether to renew the Investment Advisory Agreements. PMAM engaged Lipper, an independent, third party research provider, to prepare advisory contract renewal reports to help the Board compare the Funds’ performance with the performance of a peer group of comparable funds selected by Lipper. Specifically, the Directors considered each Penn Series Fund’s recent and long-term performance relative to its peer group and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, yield and economic and market trends. In evaluating performance, the Directors considered both market risk and shareholder risk expectations for a given Penn Series Fund. The Board also considered its discussions with PMAM regarding the relative underperformance of certain Directly Managed Funds, including changes during the past year in portfolio management personnel and the markets in which the Funds’ securities trade. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the performance of the Penn Series Funds (both actual performance and comparable performance) supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Costs of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Services. The Directors considered the costs of the advisory and sub-advisory services provided to the Penn Series Funds by PMAM and the Sub-Advisers, respectively. PMAM engaged Lipper to prepare advisory contract renewal reports to help the Board compare the Funds’ fees and expenses with those of a peer group of comparable funds selected by Lipper. The Board evaluated (a) the advisory and sub-advisory services provided; (b) the advisory and sub-advisory fees paid, including breakpoint schedules; (c) the advisory and sub-advisory fees paid in comparison to the advisory and sub-advisory fees charged to other comparable mutual funds, including, in particular, mutual funds acting as underlying investments for insurance products, and other types of comparable accounts; and (d) the fact that the Sub-Advisers are compensated by PMAM and not by the Fund directly and that such compensation reflects an arms-length negotiation between each Sub-Adviser and PMAM. The Directors also considered PMAM and its affiliates’ agreement to waive management and other fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap and that PMAM, through waivers, is committed to maintaining the Penn Series Funds’ net operating expenses at competitive levels for their distribution channel. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the advisory and sub-advisory fees charged to the Penn Series Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Directors considered all compensation flowing, directly or indirectly, to PMAM and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, if any, from their relationship with the Penn Series Funds, including any benefits derived or to be derived by PMAM and the Sub-Advisers, such as soft dollar arrangements, as well as the cost of services provided to the Penn Series Funds. The Directors considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Investment Advisory Agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Penn Series Funds by PMAM and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, if any. The Directors also considered the methodology used to determine profitability. When considering the profitability of the Sub-Advisers with respect to the sub-advisory services they provide to the Penn Series Funds, the Board took into account the fact that the Sub-Advisers are compensated by PMAM, and not by the Penn Series Funds directly, and such compensation with respect to any Sub-Adviser reflects an arms-length negotiation between the Sub-Adviser and PMAM. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the profitability of PMAM and the Sub-Advisers is reasonable in relation to the quality of their respective services and supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Directors considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether such economies of scale were passed along to a Penn Series Fund’s shareholders through breakpoints or other means, including any fee waivers by PMAM and its affiliates or the Sub-Advisers. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded, within the context of its full deliberations, that the Penn Series Funds and their shareholders obtain a reasonable benefit from any economies of scale being realized by PMAM and the Sub-Advisers.

Based on the Directors’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreements and concluded that the terms of and compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable in light of such services and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. In the course of their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling.
