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 2016 despite experiencing one of the worst-ever starts to a new year during the first quarter. A rebound in oil prices, easy global monetary policy and better-than-expected U.S. economic data offset the sharp losses witnessed earlier in the year. Equity market volatility spiked amid the turmoil surrounding Britain’s vote to exit the European Union (“Brexit”) in late June. The results of the British populist-driven referendum caught many investors by surprise and lead to a steep sell-off in risky assets. However, many of the major indexes recovered most of their losses over the last three trading days of the quarter. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth gradually slowed throughout 2015 and it appears this trend will continue through 2016 resulting in another underwhelming gain of approximately 2.0 - 2.5% this year. Despite the slowdown in U.S. companies hiring in May, the unemployment rate fell to nearly a nine-year low of 4.7%. This unemployment rate remains in line with the Fed’s estimate of the equilibrium long-run employment rate. From a sector perspective, Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy had the strongest returns and sectors such as Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Industrials 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 solid 3.98 percent during the six-month period ending June 30.

On a relative basis, mid capitalization stocks provided higher returns than did large and small capitalization stocks during the six-month period. Mid capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap Index returned 5.50 percent, while large capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, returned 3.74 percent and small capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, returned 2.22 percent. From a style perspective, value stocks outperformed growth stocks in the all market capitalizations, with the widest disparity being in the small capitalization space. For instance, small cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index returned 6.08 percent while small cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned -1.59 percent. Much of the outperformance within value stocks can be attributed to investors rewarding companies with reasonable valuations and attractive dividend yields. Lastly, U.S. equity Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) continued their strong performance and significantly outperformed the broader equity market during the first six months of the year and the 1-year period, returning 13.38 percent and 24.04 percent as measured by the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index, respectively.

International markets, were mixed during first six months of the year with emerging market stocks posting a solid 6.60 percent return, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, and developed international stocks returning a disappointing -4.04 percent, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index. The recovery in commodity prices (most importantly oil) since the lows set in February has alleviated fears of widespread defaults among sovereign credits with liabilities denominated in U.S. dollars and commodity-based revenues. Oil finished the second quarter at $48.33 a barrel.

Investment-grade fixed-income securities underperformed high yield bonds during the six-month period as noninvestment-grade bonds benefited from the rebound in oil prices and strength in energy-sector issuers, which make up a large percentage of U.S. high yield indexes. Investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, returned 5.31 percent and the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Index, returned a strong 9.21 percent. The Federal Reserve met several times during the first half of the year and each time left rates unchanged. The much weaker than expected U.S. May payrolls report contributed to the June decision and shifted investor expectations that the Federal Reserve would now likely hold off on interest rate hikes for the remainder of the 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 1.81% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016. The Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Government/Credit 1-3 year Bond Index, returned 1.65% during the same period.

Despite consensus forecasts for additional tightening of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve to start the year, short-term interest rates fell sharply during the period. The 2-year Treasury note finished June at 0.58%, down from 1.05% at the beginning of 2016. The Domestic economy in the U.S. continues to be one of the few bright spots across the globe but negative rates in Japan and Europe kept demand strong for U.S. fixed income assets.

Our overweight exposure to structured bond securities and short-duration high yield debt contributed to the strong performance relative to benchmark year-to-date. We continue to look for attractive total return investment opportunities in these sectors with a bias to move up in credit quality.

We also shortened duration or interest rate risk in the Fund during the second quarter and expect short-term rates to move modestly higher for the remainder of 2016. Active management of both interest rate and credit risk will again be necessary to source value-added performance in the continued low interest rate environment. During the period we utilized derivatives to manage portfolio duration and yield curve positioning. Long positioning in Treasury 2-year note futures brought Fund duration in line with its benchmark and was a positive contributor to performance during the first six months of 2016.

Quality Bond Fund

The Quality Bond Fund returned 5.35% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016. The Fund’s index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 5.31% over the same period.

Interest rates in the United States and across the globe have fallen dramatically since the beginning of the year as central banks in Europe and Japan expand negative interest rate policies. More than $11 trillion of global sovereign debt now trades with negative yields. The 10-year U.S. Treasury note finished June with a yield of 1.47%, down 80 basis points since the beginning of the year and the lowest level since July of 2012.

Corporate and structured bond spreads reached their widest levels in mid-February but valuations have improved steadily since then. Outperformance for these spread sectors contributed to Fund value-added performance relative to its benchmark. We remain overweight these sectors but have been reducing credit risk and buying more U.S. Government securities, especially during the second quarter.

We have also been gradually reducing duration, or interest rate risk, in the Fund and will look for more attractive entry points during the second half of the year. Treasury Inflation Protected securities (TIPs) represent one area of new purchase activity within the Fund due to increasing cyclical inflation pressures in the United States. We will remain opportunistic during this period of heightened volatility and look for compelling total return investment opportunities. During the period we utilized derivatives to manage portfolio duration and yield curve positioning. Short positioning in Treasury Notes and Bond Futures brought the Fund duration in line with its benchmark and was a negative contributor to performance during the first six months of 2016.

High Yield Bond Fund

The Penn Series High Yield Bond Fund returned 7.73% in the first half of 2016 while its benchmark, the CSFB High Yield Bond Index, returned 9.21%.

Positioning in the energy sector was the biggest drag on relative performance. Conversely, security selection in information technology was beneficial.

High yield bonds posted positive results during the first six months of the calendar year. Volatility driven by weakness in the energy sector and lower qualities dominated the market early in the year before a dramatic rally ensued in mid-February. The turnaround was supported by a dovish global central bank policy narrative, the rally in oil prices, and waning concern about a U.S. recession. Additionally, fallen angels — investment-grade issuers downgraded to high yield status — meaningfully added to the opportunity set. Recent market disruptions, most notably the June 23 UK referendum on European Union membership, have largely been short-lived.

After a prolonged period of considerable declines, both the energy and metals and minerals industries generated impressive gains in the first half of the year as bonds in the two segments rallied from distressed levels. Alongside this dramatic performance improvement, the composition of these commodity-related sectors has been transformed as defaults have cleansed more speculative credits from the market. At mid-year, the vast majority of the 37 companies that have defaulted have been from commodity-related sectors. After increasing to a two-year high at the onset of the year, default activity in the last three months was less than half of the first quarter’s total volume. However, this year’s total has already surpassed all of 2015.

Credit selection and our underweight in energy detracted as the sector, particularly the lower-quality segments, posted solid gains alongside the strong rally in commodity prices this year. Similarly, our underweight to the metals and minerals industry detracted from performance. This sector has rallied year-to-date following declines of -18% for 2015. However, our positioning reflects a multi-year relative weight and despite strong performance thus far in 2016, these companies face a number of fundamental headwinds.

Credit selection in information technology was beneficial partly due to our position in Blue Coat Holdings, a leading manufacturer of on-premises security systems. The company has adapted to the growing use of cloud storage, and we anticipate continued expansion of its business. In

terms of rating, our underweight to higher-quality bonds — those rated BB or higher — has been supportive as these issues have lagged lower-quality credits year-to-date.

Eight years after the global financial crisis, weakening corporate profitability, creeping leverage, and increased idiosyncratic risks are indicative of an aging high yield credit cycle. Ongoing macro factors, geopolitical developments, and negative headlines will continue to cause volatility in risk assets, including high yield bonds. Our estimates for commodity-related fallen angels have been met and absorbed into the market, but energy and metals issuers are expected to keep the market default rate elevated for the remainder of this year into 2017. Nevertheless, the technicals of income demand are considerable. Government bond yields in many developed countries are negative, and U.S. Treasuries renewed low levels late in the period.

As always, we aim to deliver high current income while seeking to contain volatility inherent in this market. Our team maintains a commitment to credit research and risk-conscious investing that has led to favorable returns for our high yield clients over various market cycles.

Flexibly Managed Fund

The Penn Series Flexibly Managed Fund returned 5.14% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to its benchmarks the S&P 500 Index’s return of 3.84%.

Stocks rose over the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, a period of significant market volatility. Markets started the year with deep losses as oil prices collapsed amid concerns about weakening Chinese and global economic growth. However, equities rallied through late June, helped by reduced expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate increases in 2016 and rebounding commodity prices. As the period ended, stocks fluctuated wildly in response to a June 23 referendum in the UK, in which UK citizens voted in favor of leaving the European Union — the so-called “Brexit.” U.S. bond returns were mostly positive as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield declined.

Overall, our equity weight marginally declined as we sold select equities on strength; however, we added to select holdings as equity market volatility rose in the latter part of the period. We added to equity holdings in the financials and consumer sectors, while we trimmed names in the utilities sector on strength. We continued to maintain exposure to covered calls, which give us the benefits of owning a stock while providing downside protection.

Our overall fixed income weight increased during the period. Our largest fixed income asset class remains high yield, where we tend to invest in high-quality, short-duration bonds. Although high yield spreads compressed recently, they remained in line with their long-term averages. Within investment-grade corporates, our weight also increased, and we continue to like the asset class as spreads remain above normalized levels.

The financials sector boosted relative performance during the period, due to stock selection. Global insurance brokerage firm Marsh & McLennan reported solid results, driven by revenue growth and capital deployment. Stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector also aided relative results. The telecommunication services sector detracted on a relative basis, due to an underweight position and security selection. Stock selection in the information technology sector also hindered relative performance.

We expect current concerns regarding global economic and political uncertainty to persist. The potential for headwinds such as slowing economic growth, fallout from the U.S. presidential election, and Chinese currency movements leads us to invest in solid companies that can

provide value in a range of economic scenarios. Although we are identifying some opportunities to buy shares of high-quality companies during periods of market volatility, overall equity valuations remain elevated. Considering the prospect for uncertainty to continue weighing on global markets, we have maintained the portfolio’s conservative positioning.

As always, we remain committed to finding the best risk-adjusted opportunities across the asset class spectrum to balance our objectives of preserving invested capital and generating equity-like returns over the long term with less risk than the broader equity market.

Balanced Fund

The Penn Series Balanced Fund returned 4.19% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to its benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index’s return of 3.84% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of 5.31% 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 its broad equity benchmark 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 -6.22% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 1.36% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Stock selection was the main reason for relative underperformance, but group weighting was also negative. Health care, industrials and business services, and consumer discretionary were the largest relative detractors. Materials relatively outperformed.

Most major U.S. stock indexes rose in the first half of 2016, a period of significant global market volatility. World markets started the year with deep losses as oil prices collapsed to 13-year lows amid concerns about weakening Chinese and global economic growth. Equities rallied through late June, as the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank unveiled new stimulus efforts. The U.S. dollar also weakened. Mid-cap shares decisively outperformed large- and small-caps. As measured by Russell indexes, value stocks strongly outperformed growth stocks across all market capitalizations.

Health care was the largest relative detractor, primarily due to stock selection, but overweighting the worst performer in the benchmark for the period also hurt results. Shares of global specialty pharmaceutical company Allergan came under pressure after the U.S. Treasury Department announced new regulations that would deter U.S. companies from participating in a process commonly known as an “inversion,” in which a U.S.-based company moves to a foreign address through merger with a non-U.S. firm. The new rules led global pharmaceutical company Pfizer to abandon its plans to merge with Allergan. Valeant Pharmaceuticals continued to be battered by controversies, which included accounting restatements, investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the return and subsequent ouster of the company’s CEO following an extended medical leave. In the resulting turmoil, we eliminated our position in this stock.

Industrials and business services detracted due to stock selection. Airline stocks came under pressure over the period on investor concerns over revenue growth potential in the industry, the strength of the U.S. dollar, and a rebound in fuel prices. Shares of American Airlines declined after issuing disappointing guidance for passenger revenue per available seat mile, a key performance metric in the airline industry. The stock rebounded slightly toward the

end of the quarter after reporting that passenger traffic rose in May, but it came under severe stress following the Brexit vote late in the quarter on concerns that global travel would be impacted.

The materials sector was the only relative outperformer, driven by stock selection. Shares of Martin Marietta Materials increased after the construction materials company reported quarterly earnings that significantly exceeded expectations. Despite a disappointing macroeconomic backdrop, sales of aggregates increased due to volume growth and price improvement. Martin Marietta Materials has the potential to continue to experience modest growth from increases in state-financed infrastructure projects and nonresidential construction in the United States.

Despite the volatility in the first half of 2016, caused by commodity price swings and exogenous events, we are optimistic about the longer-term prospects for large-cap growth stocks. The high-quality stocks in our investment universe appear fairly priced based on traditional valuation metrics versus long-term history. We intend to invest in established growth themes and are confident in the long-term growth potential of the fund’s holdings in the information technology, health care, and consumer discretionary sectors.

Large Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Large Cap Growth Fund returned 3.97% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 1.36% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Sluggish global growth weighed on both developed and emerging market (“EM”) economies during the reporting period as EM economies proved to be particularly lackluster. Globally, central bank policy remained highly accommodative, which forced many government, and even some corporate, bond yields into negative territory. The U.S. Federal Reserve indicated that its monetary policy tightening cycle would be more gradual than earlier anticipated. At the very end of the period, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, beginning a multi-year process of negotiation in order to achieve “Brexit”.

U.S. earnings headwinds expanded beyond the energy, materials and industrial sectors, to include most sectors of the market. The sharp rise in the U.S. dollar also weighed on earnings early in the period, though dollar strength ebbed somewhat late in the period. U.S. consumer spending held up well during the period amid a modest increase in real wages and falling gasoline prices. Global trade was dampened particularly by falling demand in emerging markets. Weaker Chinese growth, which contributed to the decline in commodity prices, weighed on EM economies and asset prices. China responded with a variety of monetary and fiscal measures to stimulate its economy, which showed signs of stabilization at the end of the period, though concerns over high debt levels persist. Structural factors such as floating exchange rates and fiscal buffers partially offset the cyclical headwinds to emerging markets.

Stock selection in both the health care and special products & services sectors detracted from performance relative to the Index. Within the health care sector, the Fund’s overweight position in medical device company Cooper Companies and avoidance of biotech firm Gilead Sciences boosted relative returns. In the special products & services sector, overweighting global provider of banking and payment technologies Fidelity National Information Services and management consulting firm Accenture aided relative returns.

Underweighting and security selection in the technology sector was another factor for strong relative performance. Within this sector, underweighting computer and personal

electronics maker Apple lifted relative performance. Additionally, an overweight position in semiconductor company Texas Instruments and the Fund’s out-of-benchmark investment in semiconductor manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor aided relative returns as both companies outperformed the benchmark during the reporting period.

In other sectors, the Fund’s overweight positions in infant and children’s pediatric nutrition producer Mead Johnson Nutrition, global consumer products company Colgate-Palmolive and repair and operating products company W.W. Grainger added value to relative performance.

Not investing in the strong-performing utilities and communications sectors detracted from relative performance. Not holding telecommunications company Verizon Communications hurt the Fund’s relative performance over the reporting period.

Weak stock selection in financial services sector also dampened relative performance. There were no stocks within this sector that were among the Fund’s top relative detractors for the period.

Elsewhere, the Fund’s out-of-benchmark holdings of pharmaceutical and medical products maker Abbott Laboratories hurt relative performance. Additionally, not owning strong-performing health insurance and Medicare/Medicaid provider UnitedHealth Group, tobacco company Altria Group, cable services provider Comcast, social networking service provider Facebook and diversified technology company 3M hurt relative performance. Overweight positions in internet search giant Alphabet, healthcare services company Express Scripts and custom information technology consulting and technology services provider Cognizant Technology further weakened relative returns.

The Penn Series Large Core Growth Fund returned –1.23% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 1.36% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Over the last six months, security selection in the health care as well as select consumer staples positions contributed to returns. Selection in industrials and information technology detracted from performance.

Within health care, political and pricing pressures caused severe weakness in the biotechnology sector while new innovation drove strong returns within the medical equipment industry. Edwards Life Sciences is focused on technologies that treat heart disease and is a leader in the market for transcatheter heart valves (THV). Recently, Edwards has reported strong results driven by a significant increase in its THV sales. Management increased its 2016 revenue projection. UnitedHealth Group showed razor focus in an otherwise blurry sector. After weighing on returns for much of 2015, positioning in the health care sector contributed to quarterly returns. UnitedHealth, the largest managed care company, reported large increases in revenue and earnings that beat expectations. Much of United’s revenue growth is driven by its Optum division, which handles pharmacy benefits and health services, and which posted a robust 70% revenue gain. The managed care industry is in flux as several of United’s competitors are in the process of merging. With United able to stay focused on its core business and avoid merger distractions, they have been able to take market industry share. Lastly within healthcare, Boston Scientific saw its fastest growth in 10 years. The manufacturer of medical devices saw specific strength in its cardiovascular division where organic growth was up 14%.

Within consumer staples, Constellation Brands had a strong run of outperformance. Constellation, a producer and distributor of branded beer, wine and spirits, posted another strong quarter with sales and earnings above street expectations. These results not only reflect the strength of the U.S. consumer, but also the continuing revenue and cost synergies from the company’s acquisition of Grupo Modelo’s U.S. beer business.

Within industrials, Delta Air Lines detracted on weaker passenger unit revenue. The airline reported better-than-expected earnings during the quarter, but the stock declined on concerns over decreasing passenger unit revenue. The company’s revenues were also adversely

impacted by foreign currency exchange and the attack on the Brussels airport. While the company is benefitting from lower fuel prices, several low cost carriers have been aggressive in lowering prices amidst low oil prices, a strategy that as impacted Delta’s pricing power.

Within the technology sector, specific weakness was visible in the software industry as a combination of company specific issues and concerns over enterprise spending pressured portfolio holdings. Tableau Software, a data visualization software company, reported disappointing quarterly results driven by an unexpected decline in licensing revenue. As a result, shares of Tableau declined sharply. Alphabet had results that fell short of analyst expectations. Ubiquitously known as Google, the leading digital-ad platform is benefiting as more advertisers shift online, particularly to smartphones, where internet users spend a growing share of their time. We continue to favor the longer-term prospects for the company, including their opportunity to monetize display advertising on the YouTube platform, which is still early in its growth phase. Palo Alto Networks mixed results and lofty expectations weighed on the stock. While network security remains a priority for corporations, the industry has fallen victim to very difficult earnings comparisons. While the company reported better-than-expected revenue and earnings that were in line with expectations, Palo Alto stated that growth will likely decelerate in the near term as macroeconomic headwinds have become more pronounced.

Large Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Large Cap Value Fund returned 1.53% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 6.30% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index.

Equity market performance year-to-date was positive, but disguised yet another period of extreme volatility. Investors remain on high alert regarding interest rates, the price of oil, and U.S. and global politics. Investors are also closely watching the fallout from Brexit. With an interest rate hike being pushed out, a steepening yield curve increasingly being pushed to the right and continued volatility in equity markets, higher-yielding and more defensive sectors (utilities, telecommunications and consumer staples) maintained market leadership, regardless of valuation.

In this environment, the Fund underperformed its benchmark due to stock selection within the financials and health care sectors, and underweights to the energy and utilities sectors. Despite solid stock selection, an overweight to the consumer discretionary sector also weighed on relative return. On an absolute basis, the Fund performed well with most sectors, except financials and health care, providing positive returns. Stock selection within the industrials sector continued to be a bright spot due to solid performance from Northrop Grumman, Pentair Plc, Eaton and Honeywell International.

The top individual performers were Hess Corporation, Halliburton and Vulcan Materials. Hess, a global exploration and production (E&P) company, benefited from the broad rally in oil prices. The combination of quality resource assets, a strong balance sheet and a reasonable valuation also proved attractive to investors. Halliburton, like Hess, rallied as oil prices rebounded from February lows and drove some early signs of increased drilling and completion activity by North American E&P companies. In addition, the company terminated its merger with smaller rival Baker Hughes, which was facing dual headwinds of regulatory scrutiny and an industry downturn. The termination eliminated a major overhang and provided some relief to investors. Vulcan Materials, a construction aggregate company, outperformed due to continued strong volume and pricing trends in its core aggregates business. The recent passing of a highway bill and solid demand for public and private non-residential construction has supported demand in Vulcan’s core markets.

The largest individual detractors were Bank of America, Teva Pharmaceuticals and Marathon Oil. Despite a relative underweight in financials, the sector detracted the most from performance. Bank of America, along with its peers, struggled over concerns regarding a weaker global economy and continued low interest rates. After a strong finish to 2015, shares of Teva Pharmaceuticals, a generic and specialty drug company, weakened. The weakness was largely due to systemic concerns about the specialty pharmaceuticals industry and mounting political pressures. The delay of Teva’s planned acquisition of Allergan’s generics business also weighed on the stock. Marathon Oil, an independent E&P company, was particularly weak in January as oil prices continued to fall and investors became increasingly concerned about balance sheet strength. By mid-February, Marathon had become a fairly small position for the fund, and we exited the holding. We re-allocated the proceeds into Hess.

We continue to expect new highs in the S&P 500 Index later this year. Earnings per share estimates have been marked down to levels that appear achievable. We believe the bull market is intact, though the advanced age of the rally and sluggish global growth will likely confine returns to the single digits. Still, single-digit returns would be an excellent outcome in this low inflation and low interest rate environment. We continue to take a security-specific approach and, as always, view opportunities as defined by our reward to risk profiles, regardless of the direction of the markets.

Large Core Value Fund

The Penn Series Large Core Value Fund returned 1.69% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 6.30% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index.

U.S. stocks opened the period under the backdrop of worries concerning falling oil prices, declining interest rates, and weakening global growth, raising fears of a possible recession. Investor concern focused particularly on China’s slowing economy and its potential impact on economies worldwide. The adoption of negative interest rates in Japan added to the specter of an impending global recession.

In mid-February, however, U.S. stocks began a strong rebound that overcame the earlier setbacks. Coinciding with the move was a turnaround in crude oil prices. The equity market rally got a further boost in March from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed), when it held interest rates steady and pared back plans for future rate hikes.

From there, stocks continued their advance into the second quarter on positive economic news, including strong retail sales, job market gains and higher energy prices. The continued slow-but-steady economic growth led to expectations that the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would likely raise interest rates at its June meeting. But, after a disappointing May jobs report, the Fed left rates unchanged amid new doubts about the health of the economy. U.S. stocks mounted a brief recovery in the days following the Fed announcement, only to fall sharply in the wake of the Brexit vote. The outcome of the June 23 “Brexit” vote sent stocks into a two-day tailspin. However, the market’s subsequent rebound regained much of the lost ground before closing out the quarter.

The Fund’s underperformance versus the Index was driven primarily by unfavorable stock selection. Unfavorable stock selection in the financials sector represented the largest drag on relative performance during the period. Within Financials, overweight positions in Credit Suisse, Invesco, XL Group, and Goldman Sachs were among the largest individual detractors during the period.

Stock selection within information technology and health care also detracted. In health care, positions in Teva Pharmaceutical Industries and Allergen hurt results, while in information technology, the Fund’s exposure to NXP Semiconductors detracted from relative performance. Elsewhere, a position in consumer staples company Kroger

and an underexposure to strong-performing ExxonMobil weighed on relative performance.

The Fund’s underweight exposure to the consumer discretionary sector, and favorable stock selection results within the sector contributed to relative performance. Among the largest contributors to performance at the individual stock level were overweight positions in utilities firms NextEra Energy and Sempra Energy, an overweight position in Verizon, and not owning underperforming Bank of America.

Notable portfolio activity included adding to select existing positions in health care, including Allergan and Eli Lilly within the pharmaceutical space. Allergan maintains strong franchises in ophthalmology and aesthetics, while Eli Lilly has the most comprehensive diabetes portfolio in the industry. Elsewhere, financials exposure was reduced modestly through actions such as the elimination of XL Group from the Fund due to fundamental concerns over merger integration taking place.

In terms of sector weightings, the Fund’s largest overweights were in health care and industrials, while its underweights were in information technology, telecommunication services, and consumer discretionary.

Index 500 Fund

The Penn Series Index 500 Fund returned 3.59% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 3.84% return for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.

The opening month of 2016 was anything but reassuring for global investors as growth assets sold off aggressively the first two weeks of the year on a mosaic of uncertainties persisting from 2015. Front and center was a series of conflicting messages from China’s policy makers in both equity and currency markets, each iteration of which seemed to unsettle the market more than the last. Further unnerving markets was a continued rapid selloff in oil prices that has been a prevailing market theme since the middle of 2014.

The relief rally in growth assets that began in the middle part of February continued for the better part of March. Providing foundation for the sharp improvement in sentiment during the second half of the quarter were sharp gains beginning in February in the beaten down energy sector, a better tone to global manufacturing data in March and continued active and verbal support from central banks.

Earnings forecasts for S&P 500 Index for the first quarter of 2016 point to a fourth consecutive quarter of negative year-over-year earnings growth, a very rare event outside an economic recession. There are now, however, good reasons to believe this could be the last negative quarter of earnings, barring the economy actually does succumb to a recession. Two primary contributors to the negative earnings growth, falling energy prices and a stronger U.S. dollar both seem to have run their course for now. Just as government bonds outperformed equities in the first quarter, the best performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index to start the year were those most resembling bonds, with the high yielding telecommunications and utilities sectors returning 16.6% and 15.6% respectively. At the other end of the spectrum of sector outcomes, financials returned a negative 5.1% return on the quarter on reduced expectations for the path of future Fed rate hikes and health care names gave up 5.5% for the quarter.

One of the notable developments driving markets in May was the re-emergence of expectations the Federal Reserve (Fed) would contemplate raising rates during the middle of 2016, something that had been given scant probability at the beginning of the month. Following a string of better-than-expected economic reports, notably retail sales, and the release of more hawkish than expected

minutes from the April Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the probability of a hike by July increased to a better than even 55% on May 24. While a better economic data flow increased the odds of near term Fed tightening, other releases suggested possibly limited upside for the economy.

Market watchers anticipating the Fed would be following through with a near term rate increase based on the strength of U.S. economic data were required to significantly adjust expectations on June 3 with the release of the May U.S. non-farm payrolls report. The preliminary release showed a paltry increase of just 38,000 jobs against expectations for 160,000 and was the lowest initial reading since August of 2011. As the month continued, the prospect of a possible ‘leave’ vote in the British referendum to remain in the European Union further decreased the possibility the Fed would be raising rates. Once the unexpected ‘leave’ vote result was confirmed on the morning of June 24, the resulting uncertainty took the likelihood of any Fed tightening for the rest of 2016 down close to zero and even an increase in through the end of 2017 was priced at less than one third.

Mid Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Mid Cap Growth Fund returned 2.21% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 2.15% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index.

From a sector standpoint, our energy overweight was the primary reason for this result. Outside of energy, our sector selection largely hindered performance, with overweights in the underperforming sectors of health care and information technology, and underweights in the outperforming sectors of industrials, consumer staples and financials. Fortunately our stock selection was strong in the first half of 2016, and this enabled us to overcome our lackluster sector positioning. In fact, our stocks outperformed their benchmark peers in all but two sectors during the period. Our two underperforming sectors were financials, where real estate investment trusts (REITS) largely drove the Index performance, and consumer discretionary, where our luxury brands and retail names struggled.

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 mode, albeit slow growth. Economies elsewhere in the world remain challenged, which restricts the ultimate strength of U.S. companies and the economy. Europe has shown signs of recovery, while China has become a bigger drag on world economic progress, and Latin America remains broadly weak. There have been more stresses on the earnings outlook for U.S. companies than we have seen in a considerable period of time. While much of this stress emanated from the energy sector last year, the negative feedback loop associated with energy-related employment and spending has had a broader impact on economic growth and corporate health across many sectors.

Our cautiously constructive outlook is based on our confidence that the positives we see in the economy–greater employment, an improving housing market, low energy prices, more accommodative lending, supportive demographic trends–will be enough to offset the negatives to earnings, allowing earnings and stock prices to move higher. We think these positives will outweigh the negatives as we progress through the remainder of the year. We think that the ongoing positive but slow rate of growth in the economy will drive greater demand from investors for the stocks of clearly

differentiated growth companies who can deliver superior earnings performance independent of any sluggishness in the overall economy. We think the markets will trend more defensively, as well, in terms of both earnings stability and creditworthiness. This will be a response to any increases in interest rates that might come as a result of firmer economic growth, and also because of concerns about simmering debt issues around the world. Valuation will be a concern if earnings growth is less certain and debt issues weigh, but could move upward if underlying economic trends in the U.S. continue to improve through better employment growth, a stronger housing market, and any long hoped-for improvement in capital spending.

Our preference for high-quality growth companies with stable and sustainable earnings profiles and strong balance sheets should serve our investors well if the economy struggles to regain a faster growth rate in the latter half of 2016. We are overweight the health care sector, an area where we find many vibrant growth stock opportunities. We are happy with our energy overweight, as we think oil prices are likely to trend higher based on downtrends in production and supply and growing demand. We are most likely to add to our weightings in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors, and possibly industrials, over the next three to six months.

Mid Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Mid Cap Value Fund returned 5.73% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 8.87% return for its benchmark, the Russell Micap Value Index.

The market was extremely volatile during the first half of 2016. For much of the first quarter, investors vacillated as to whether or not economic conditions in the emerging markets and the commodity sectors would push the slowly growing U.S. economy into a recession which led to price volatility as the markets appreciated or declined by more than 1% during roughly half of the trading days. As the first quarter came to an end, fears of a global recession appeared to subside and equity markets rallied. During the second quarter, in a surprising and historic move, Britain voted to exit the European Union. The markets reacted with increased volatility and the Russell Mid Cap Value Index declined significantly. The Index recovered toward the end of June, however the Fund, which is positioned in much cheaper, cyclically-oriented stocks as opposed to the more richly-priced stocks that do well in a “risk-off” or low interest rate environment, underperformed the Index.

Significant market volatility creates buying opportunities for long-term value investors, as stock declines can widen the intrinsic value gap. During the first half of the year, a portion of our underperformance can be attributed to our overweight positions in the more cyclical areas of the economy such as the consumer discretionary and technology sectors and our underweight to the benchmark in the utilities sector. Our contrarian investment style has shifted us away from the defensive sectors of the market (utilities, consumer staples) as we believe these areas have become highly valued as investors seek out higher yielding stocks.

The Fund benefited from the rebound in the energy sector (ONEOK, Devon Energy), strong results and outlook from Colony Starwood Homes, and a rebound in Tyco’s stock as investors began to appreciate the benefits from the merger agreement with Johnson Controls. On the negative side, Skyworks Solutions has come under pressure due to increased concern about the next iPhone launch (Apple is their biggest customer), while Nuance declined as technology shares were hit hard at the end of the period. Finally, Office Depot shares came under substantial pressure when the merger with Staples was blocked by the FTC.

Despite recent turmoil in the market, valuation levels continue to be above historical averages. This can be justified by extremely low interest rates and the likelihood that they will stay low for the foreseeable future. However, the market has many headwinds it has to overcome to appreciate from here, including the fallout from Brexit, sluggish global growth, the Presidential election, and a general decline in global business confidence. We have not been dealing with a normal post-recession expansion, rather one that has been driven by extremely accommodative monetary policy decisions. It is still unlikely that without this stimulus the world economies can be self-sustaining and accordingly, we anticipate easy monetary policy to continue.

We own stocks that, in general, sell at cheaper multiples to the market, that are trading at substantial discounts to our estimate of intrinsic value, and generate strong free cash flow. We remain confident in the Fund’s ability to perform in what could be a difficult investment backdrop.

Mid Core Value Fund

The Penn Series Mid Core Value Fund returned 10.53% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 8.87% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index.

The Fund received positive results in absolute terms in all 10 sectors in which it was invested. Relative to the benchmark, positions in the industrials, health care, consumer staples, financials, and consumer discretionary sectors added to returns. The materials and utilities sectors detracted from relative performance.

Security selection in industrials boosted relative returns, fueled in particular by an overweight and stock selection in commercial services and supplies. Tyco International, a portfolio overweight, was leading contributor. Tyco is in the process of merging with Johnson Controls, and the companies have outlined over $1 billion in merger synergies. Also, both companies have announced ongoing productivity initiatives.

Security selection in health care also enhanced performance. A lack of exposure to the pharmaceuticals industry was especially beneficial as a number of benchmark pharmaceutical stocks, such as Perrigo, sold off sharply during the period. Perrigo, which the portfolio does not own, suffered a sizable stock correction after it issued weak guidance and its CEO resigned.

The Fund’s overweight in the consumer staples sector added to returns, especially in the food and staples retailing and food products industries. Sysco, a large distributor of food and related products, was one of the strongest performing investments, aided by improving trends in the restaurant business.

Utilities was one of the strongest-performing sectors of the benchmark during the period, as investors sought stability during bouts of market volatility. As a result, the Fund’s underweight in utilities hurt performance relative to the Index. Nonetheless, the utilities sector yielded one of the top-contributing individual investments, an overweight in Westar Energy. Shares of Westar Energy surged higher on news the utility would be acquired by Great Plains Energy.

An underweight in the overall financials sector assisted relative returns. Positioning within financial services also supported returns, due primarily to security selection in banks and insurance and a lack of exposure to the challenged consumer finance industry.

While the Fund’s underweight in financials assisted relative performance, a number of individual investments were detractors. These included Northern Trust, LPL Financial Holdings, and portfolio-only investments in PNC Financial Services and State Street. Declining interest rates and expectations that interest rates could remain low over the near-term combined with capital market volatility to pressure returns for many banks and capital markets companies.

An underweight in materials detracted from performance, as many of the benchmark’s materials stocks rose along with commodities prices. Stock selection was also detrimental, as the portfolio had no exposure to some metals and mining stocks, including Newmont Mining, that delivered strong share price performance for the benchmark.

The team continues to build the portfolio using a bottom-up, stock-specific process. Through its fundamental research, the portfolio managers seek higher-quality, mid-sized companies temporarily selling at a discount. At the end of the quarter, the Fund’s largest overweight position was in consumer staples. The Fund has smaller relative overweights in the health care and energy sectors.

The Fund’s largest sector underweight remains in financials due to a continued underweight in real estate investment trusts (REITs). The team continues to find REIT valuations generally unattractive. In addition, the Fund has smaller relative underweights in materials, utilities, information technology, consumer discretionary, and telecommunication services.

SMID Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series SMID Cap Growth Fund returned 0.67% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the –0.03% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index.

Over the last six months, security selection in the health care, industrial, and consumer sectors contributed to returns. Positioning in the information technology and financial sectors was the primary source of underperformance.

Within health care, our conviction in Alere was rewarded. Despite no material change to company fundamentals, our position in Alere had detracted from returns in 2015. With our thesis still intact, we maintained our position and were rewarded as shares soared 27% after the company agreed to be acquired by Abbott Laboratories Inc. Also within the sector, Align Technology has shown considerable strength over the past 12 months. The manufacturer of the Invisalign orthodontic treatment posted a near flawless quarter as shipments were up 26% after growing above expectations the previous two quarters. Strong growth has been visible in both domestic and international markets and we believe the company is still early in penetrating a large total available market. Shares of VCA outperformed as our thesis on VCA, a leader in the animal health field, continues to be validated. The company has made a number of strategic acquisitions that contribute to its attractive level of operating leverage. The company reported better-than-expected quarterly results, driven by improving gross margins and strong sales growth in both their veterinary hospitals and lab businesses.

Within industrials, Carlisle Companies continues to enjoy strong end markets. For the last several quarters we have allocated capital to opportunities created by a strong non-residential construction market. Carlisle is a commercial roofing supplier that continues to reap the benefits of strong construction activity. Carlisle is in the position of experiencing strong organic growth and expanding margins, both enviable characteristics in the current industrial environment

Within consumer discretionary, Michaels Companies’ strong quarter garnered investor attention. The arts and craft retailer reported strong results driven by better-than-expected same store sales growth. Given its product mix and dominant market share in a fragmented industry, Michael’s faces lower competition and e-commerce risk than many “brick and mortar” retailers.

Additionally, the company’s ability to pay down debt should prove additive to financial results going forward.

Within consumer staples, Constellation Brands had a strong run of outperformance. Constellation, a producer and distributor of branded beer, wine and spirits, posted another strong quarter with sales and earnings above street expectations. Constellation has expanded the beer business to include Corona Extra cans and Corona Light Draft, and volumes grew over 10%. In addition to continued growth in volumes, we anticipate margin expansion as the state of the art brewery acquired in the deal fully comes on line in 2015, and as the company pays down debt.

Within the technology sector, specific weakness was visible in the software industry as a combination of company specific issues and concerns over enterprise spending pressured portfolio holdings. Tableau Software a data visualization software company, reported disappointing quarterly results driven by an unexpected decline in licensing revenue. As a result, shares of Tableau declined sharply.

Within financials, Raymond James Financial has fundamental drivers of future growth, but was impacted by capital market volatility in the short term. In particular, Raymond James pressured by moderating interest rates and a flattening yield curve during the quarter, highly unusual events during times of Fed tightening. On the bright side, Raymond James continues to be successful in recruiting new financial advisors, a key element of our investment thesis.

SMID Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series SMID Cap Value Fund returned 5.58% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 7.84% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index.

Volatility marked the first half of 2016 as investor anxiety centered on a number of macro issues that raised concerns about global economic growth. Early in the year, market sentiment shifted dramatically as the market fell over concerns about plummeting oil prices and Chinese economic growth. The markets then recovered as better U.S. economic data, stabilizing oil prices and expectations that monetary policy would remain accommodative, eased concerns.

Late in the second quarter, the United Kingdom’s June vote to leave the European Union reignited these fears. Immediately following the result, volatility spiked as markets grappled with uncertainty over the vote’s impact on global economic growth. However, equities recovered some post-vote losses as investors pinned their hopes on even more accommodative monetary policies from central banks.

For the first half of 2016, the Fund rose in absolute terms but underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index. Sector allocation detracted from returns while security selection contributed. Sector allocation underperformance was predominantly driven by overweights to the consumer discretionary and technology sectors and an underweight to utilities. Positive security selection was broadly spread across sectors but was strongest in the portfolio’s consumer discretionary and technology holdings. Performance detractors included Office Depot, an office supply store catering to consumers and businesses. The company’s stock fell sharply after a court ruled in favor of the Federal Trade Commission’s decision to block its proposed merger with rival Staples. Molina Healthcare, a provider of Medicaid services to low-income families and individuals, also underperformed. The company reported weaker-than-expected earnings because of elevated medical loss ratios in some of its key markets, including Ohio and Texas.

Leading outperformers included energy companies such as QEP Resources, a natural gas and oil exploration and production company. QEP’s stock rallied as oil prices recovered and the company’s new oil wells reported better-than-expected productivity. Shares of Ingredion, a company that refines corn into starch and sweeteners saw

benefits from higher utilization rates of its North American supply chain. The company also showed continued progress in its efforts to shift towards higher margin products.

The recent Brexit vote added to investor anxiety over the growth prospects for the global economy. Central banks have pursued increasingly accommodative monetary policies and have driven interest rates to historical lows. Investors have gravitated to industries such as utilities and REITs, whose earnings stability and high yields are viewed to offer shelter in an uncertain world and income in a low-interest-rate environment.

While we share the market’s concerns, we believe investors have ignored long-term fundamentals pursing this safety and yield. Our research suggests that they have dramatically undervalued an increasing number of high-quality companies with strong free cash flow and compelling company-level catalysts. We have been selective in adding these opportunities as we expect to see continued market volatility. We continue to focus on stocks with strong fundamentals, including solid free cash flow and strong long-term profitability outlook.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Small Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Growth Fund returned 1.75% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the –1.59% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

The Fund outperformed its primary benchmark, during the period. We expect the bulk of our relative outperformance to come in weak or uncertain market environments, when the stability of the businesses we invest in is more appreciated, or in environments in which stock selection is the primary driver of returns. This was the case during the first half of the year as outperformance was largely driven by stock selection.

Leading outperformance on a sector basis was our selection of health care and technology stocks. The strong relative performance in health care was largely due to acquisition activity as some of the Fund’s holdings were bought during the period. Medical device maker LDR, for example, was acquired by Zimmer Biomet. LDR was an attractive target due to its Mobi-C product, a two-level cervical disk replacement. We have always favored this company, but recognized that the stock was held back, to a degree, by the reticence of insurers to fully cover Mobi-C. That headwind will likely be removed now that it is a component in Zimmer’s arsenal.

Also benefiting from an acquisition was FEI, which was purchased by Thermo Fisher. FEI is a leading manufacturer of electron microscopes, whose products have several industrial applications, including semiconductors. As chips become smaller, the demand for such high-powered microscopes to conduct quality control, we believe, will grow. Thermo was also likely attracted to FEI for its pristine balance sheet.

Financial software and services company, MarketAxess was a strong gainer. The market is beginning to recognize the tremendous opportunity presented by MarketAxess as it attempts to modernize bond trading. Unlike equities platforms, which have evolved over the past two decades, bond trading, to a degree, remains mired in the last century. MarketAxess operates an electronic trading platform that helps improve both liquidity and trading costs for market participants. The company’s technology is reaching a tipping point in adoption by major players, which, in our view, provides a competitive advantage as its platform stands to benefit from a network effect.

The Fund’s holdings in financials and consumer staples detracted from relative performance. SS&C Technologies was a large absolute detractor. SS&C was impacted by concerns about its client base of active managers, including hedge funds. Actively managed funds in general have come under pressure from passively managed competitors, and many hedge funds have closed shop. While we are aware of the headwinds facing SS&C’s client base, we still favor the company as we see ample opportunity for it to grow revenue through cross-selling among its existing client base.

Eagle Pharmaceuticals was another detractor. The stock was down after the FDA rejected its blood clot preventing drug Kangio. The specialty pharmaceutical company focuses on improving formulations of existing hospital administered drugs. These improved formulations make the intake of the drug easier or faster for the patient.

OSI Systems also weighed on performance. The company makes security systems, health care monitoring systems and optoelectronic devices. The stock was down in large part because construction at a number of European airports delayed implementation of some of OSI’s baggage screening systems in those airports. International markets for some of their medical devices were also soft during the quarter. None of this changes our longer-term view of the company. We expect OSI’s baggage screening systems to be in high demand as Europe implements new security rules in baggage screening, and we also like the outlook for many of the company’s medical devices.

Small Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Value Fund returned 5.09% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 6.08% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index.

In the Fund for the six-month period, our investments in the financials and materials sectors detracted from performance, whereas the energy and health care sectors contributed to results.

Memorial Resource Development Corp., an oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating in Northern Louisiana, was a top detractor from returns during the first quarter of 2016. Its shares came under pressure after the company appointed a new Chief Executive Officer and lowered production guidance. Despite short-term headwinds, we continue to be constructive on Memorial Development Corp. We believe the company is one of the most capital efficient operators in the industry with high-quality assets and the ability to significantly increase production over the long term. Nexstar Broadcasting Group, a television broadcasting company, was also a top detractor from performance during the first quarter. In our view, its shares underperformed due to a perceived increase in execution risk regarding the company’s acquisition of Media General and the resulting financial leverage.

Burlington Stores, Inc., a discount retailer focused on coats, was a top contributor to performance during the first quarter. After unusually warm winter weather, investor expectations for coat sales significantly declined which pressured the stock price. The stock subsequently rebounded after management released fourth quarter guidance that was better than investors expected. We continue to be constructive on Burlington Stores given the company’s potential for profitable share gains and margin expansion. Rice Energy, Inc., an exploration and production company based in Pennsylvania, was also a top contributor to results over the first quarter. The stock outperformed on the back of a rally in natural gas prices in March. We continue to be positive on Rice Energy’s prominent acreage in the Marcellus and Utica Shales, which has the potential to drive continued strong results for the company.

During the second quarter, Rice Energy remained a top contributor to performance. Its shares were supported by rising natural gas prices and the announcement that Rice Energy would acquire select acreage in the Marcellus and

Utica Shales which the company would fund with an equity offering. While the transaction ultimately did not go through, investors were positive on the stronger balance sheet as a result of the offering. During the second quarter, shares of Memorial Resource Development rebounded and it was a top contributor to results during the quarter. We originally initiated a position in Memorial Development due to the company’s high-quality assets, capital efficient operations and potential to significantly increase production over the long term. Its shares subsequently spiked in May when it was announced that the company had agreed to merge with Range Resources, an oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating primarily in the Marcellus Shale.

Chesapeake Lodging Trust, an owner of upscale hotels in key gateway markets in the U.S., was a top detractor from performance during the second quarter. While the company’s operating results have exceeded expectations in a challenging environment for hotels, Chesapeake Lodging has long been speculated as a potential acquisition candidate. Given that a transaction has yet to materialize, investors have become increasingly cautious on the company. Despite these concerns, we continue to have high conviction in Chesapeake Lodging’s strategy and high quality assets over the remainder of this hotel cycle, regardless of whether the company is acquired. PBF Energy, Inc., an oil refiner with operations across the U.S., was also a top detractor from returns during the second quarter. Its shares fell after PBF Energy reported disappointing earnings, driven by lower-than-expected margins. Despite short-term headwinds, we continue to be positive on the company.

Small Cap Index Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Index Fund returned 1.92% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 2.22% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index.

The opening month of 2016 was anything but reassuring for global investors as growth assets sold off aggressively the first two weeks of the year on a mosaic of uncertainties persisting from 2015. Front and center was a series of conflicting messages from China’s policy makers in both equity and currency markets, each iteration of which seemed to unsettle the market more than the last. Further unnerving markets was a continued rapid selloff in oil prices that has been a prevailing market theme since the middle of 2014.

The relief rally in growth assets that began in the middle part of February continued for the better part of March. Providing foundation for the sharp improvement in sentiment during the second half of the quarter were sharp gains beginning in February in the beaten down energy sector, a better tone to global manufacturing data in March and continued active and verbal support from central banks.

Earnings forecasts for S&P 500 Index for the first quarter of 2016 point to a fourth consecutive quarter of negative year-over-year earnings growth, a very rare event outside an economic recession. There are now, however, good reasons to believe this could be the last negative quarter of earnings, barring the economy actually does succumb to a recession. Two primary contributors to the negative earnings growth, falling energy prices and a stronger U.S. dollar both seem to have run their course for now. Just as government bonds outperformed equities in the first quarter, the best performing sectors in the S&P 500 Index to start the year were those most resembling bonds, with the high yielding telecommunications and utilities sectors returning 16.6% and 15.6% respectively. At the other end of the spectrum of sector outcomes, financials returned a negative 5.1% return on the quarter on reduced expectations for the path of future Fed rate hikes and health care names gave up 5.5% for the quarter.

One of the notable developments driving markets in May was the re-emergence of expectations the Federal Reserve (Fed) would contemplate raising rates during the middle of 2016, something that had been given scant probability at the beginning of the month. Following a string of better-than-expected economic reports, notably retail sales, and the release of more hawkish than expected

minutes from the April Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the probability of a hike by July increased to a better than even 55% on May 24. While a better economic data flow increased the odds of near term Fed tightening, other releases suggested possibly limited upside for the economy.

Market watchers anticipating the Fed would be following through with a near term rate increase based on the strength of U.S. economic data were required to significantly adjust expectations on June 3 with the release of the May U.S. non-farm payrolls report. The preliminary release showed a paltry increase of just 38,000 jobs against expectations for 160,000 and was the lowest initial reading since August of 2011. As the month continued, the prospect of a possible ‘leave’ vote in the British referendum to remain in the European Union further decreased the possibility the Fed would be raising rates. Once the unexpected ‘leave’ vote result was confirmed on the morning of June 24, the resulting uncertainty took the likelihood of any Fed tightening for the rest of 2016 down close to zero and even an increase in through the end of 2017 was priced at less than one third.

Developed International Index Fund

The Penn Series Developed International Index Fund returned –3.60% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the –4.04% return for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index.

The opening month of 2016 was anything but reassuring for global investors as growth assets sold off aggressively the first two weeks of the year on a mosaic of uncertainties persisting from 2015. Front and center in the turmoil to open the New Year was a series of conflicting messages from China’s policy makers in both equity and currency markets, each iteration of which seemed to unsettle the market more than the last. Further unnerving markets was a continued rapid selloff in oil prices that has been a prevailing market theme since the middle of 2014.

After the tumultuous opening act of 2016, investor nerves were soothed to some degree as February closed, provided one measures comfort by an intra-month recovery in the price levels of developed equity markets. The roller coaster month opened with the MSCI World Index capping off a miserable January with a sharp selloff that took the index down 11.5% year-to-date (YTD) on February 11 before recovering to finish the month down 6.6% on the year. February was also witness to a sharp selloff in the British pound to seven year lows after the announcement of the long anticipated ‘Brexit’ referendum.

With a starting point of continued slow and uneven economic growth for developed economies dating back to the end of the global financial crisis, investors in 2016 have so far navigated a storm of additional uncertainties including softening economic growth and policy missteps in China, a degree of disenchantment in the ability of global central banks to influence market outcomes and now a vote by Britain on June 23 to exit its 43-year membership in the European Union. Remarkably, against this challenging backdrop, global equities ended the first half of the year basically where the year started. After selling off aggressively to kick off the year through the second week of February, global equities clawed back into positive territory for the year through June 23, only to see those gains extinguished when the surprise outcome of the ‘Brexit’ vote was learned on June 24, leaving the MSCI World Index down 1.7% before rebounding smartly to put the Index back in positive territory on a YTD. Holding ground through mid-year has been commodity prices. Proving that there is still an abundance of caution in the

market in 2016, assets that may be considered defensive in many circumstances have been among the best absolute performers.

Global developed equities continued to make modest gains in April and May before pausing somewhat in June ahead of the British referendum and subsequently falling sharply once a British exit vote was confirmed. The oscillations left the MSCI World Index up 1.2% for the quarter. U.S. investors fared best in developed equities by investing at home with the S&P 500 Index posting second quarter gains of 2.5% against negative returns in the MSCI Europe Index of 2.3% and a barely positive 0.9% for the MSCI Pacific Index. Returns on Pacific equities would have been a 4% net drag on performance for U.S. investors were it not for a 9% decline in the U.S. dollar against the Japanese Yen.

International Equity Fund

The Penn Series International Equity Fund returned 0.91% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the –0.67% return for its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex U.S. Index.

British American Tobacco was a top contributor during the first six months of the year. Its stability and consistency of earnings became well sought after post the Brexit vote. While based in the UK, its earnings come from outside of it. Currency, after years of being a headwind, is turning into a tailwind due to favorable currency translation as British American Tobacco reports its earnings in British pounds. British American Tobacco is one of the world’s largest tobacco companies with market leadership in more than 50 of the 180 markets in which it operates. Nearly 60% of the company’s revenue and over 70% of volumes are generated from emerging markets.

Investors were drawn to Philip Morris International’s relative safety after the uncertainty resulting from the Brexit vote, as the company continues to perform well. Philip Morris International produces and sells cigarettes under brands such as Marlboro and L&M. In our opinion, the company has strong pricing power, leading brands, consistent constant currency earnings growth, opportunities for cost savings, and a large dividend. The company is also investing behind next generation products such as its heat-not-burn device, iQos.

Persimmon is a leading house builder in the UK by volume with a nationwide footprint. The company has a significant land bank and manages the lowest average unit price land cost as a proportion of average sales price of the eight major builders. Persimmon’s stock price came under pressure on the back of the Brexit vote. We continue to like Persimmon and we think it’s a strong business in a fundamentally strong industry in the UK, due to various structural reasons, including limited land, restrictive planning and a consolidated builder industry.

UBS is facing earnings headwinds due to a slowdown in Asia revenues and weaker markets. Its stock price came under pressure as a result of Brexit. We believe UBS is one of the better capitalized banks in the world. With its growth shifting to the less-capital intensive wealth management and asset management businesses, UBS should generate income, while still achieving healthy earnings growth. We expect the pace of capital returns to accelerate over the coming years. UBS is the largest global wealth manager, with two thirds of its earnings expected

to come from its asset-gathering businesses, after the company made a strategic decision to shrink its investment bank.

Our relative outperformance is consistent with our high-quality style of investing. Because the companies we own in the International Equity strategy tend to have more stable earnings and are less sensitive to economic fluctuations that may result from political turbulence, the portfolio is generally less affected by events such as Brexit. Many of the European holdings in our International Equity strategy are multinationals with a proportion of earnings generated outside of Europe.

We aim to make our International strategy well diversified by end-exposure of demand. Generally, due to our broad global earnings exposure, even if there is a slowdown for companies we hold in one part of the world, demand is growing somewhere else. Also, a core part of our investment selection is to focus on holding high-quality companies that are less sensitive to the economic cycle. Such companies tend to produce strong earnings in both good times and bad. Their share prices, therefore, are not as volatile as the overall market and will usually decline less in down markets.

Emerging Markets Equity Fund

The Penn Series Emerging Markets Equity Fund returned 6.31% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to its benchmarks the MSCI Emerging Markets Index’s return of 6.60%.

Country allocation contributed to the Fund’s relative performance, while stock selection detracted overall. On an individual country basis, the aggregate effect of our underweight allocation and stock selection in China contributed the most, followed by stock selection in India. Our stock selection and overweight allocation in Peru also added value, as did our stock selection in Pakistan. Detracting from relative returns were our stock selection in Eastern Europe, Taiwan and Korea, and the combined effect of our underweight and stock selection in South Africa.

From a sector perspective, our stock selection in financials, consumer staples and information technology companies contributed the most to returns. Detracting from relative performance was our underweight to energy companies, along with our stock selection in and overweight allocation to industrials.

Our concern about China has long been reflected in our underweight position. In our view, China will continue to slow economically as a result of its massive credit expansion, which began as an attempt to stimulate growth following the global financial crisis and had another boost in the first several months of 2016. While the recent easing of regulations regarding both the stock market and the property market contributed to a rally earlier in the year, the market cooled in May as investors more closely analyzed the viability of those moves.

As investors further digest these factors and as Chinese growth stabilizes at lower levels, we think emerging market (EM) equities will head toward an eventual important turning point even if precise timing is difficult to determine. What we think will prove a critical catalyst driving EM equities more consistently is when the market focuses on economic growth inflections in select EM countries shifting upward relative to the weaker prospects for many of the developed countries.

On our recent trip to Mexico, we observed that while growth dynamics appeared less positive than previously, they still look better than for much of the region. Fiscal tightening and lower oil production are having a dampening effect on growth, and the expected pickup in

investment, particularly in the oil sector, is taking longer to flow through. We remain overweight the country.

Brazil has enjoyed a strong rally over optimism related to the prospect of political change. Local business and consumer confidence is low, which bodes poorly for any recovery in investment or consumption in the near term. The one bright spot is that the difficult environment is providing opportunity for well-managed companies to gain market share and boost competiveness. Our stock selection in Brazil has been a source of positive returns for many years.

We remain overweight Central and Eastern Europe; the Philippines for its well-rounded growth, strong business outsourcing and strong consumption; and India as earnings and economic growth turns around, consumption picks up and credit penetration levels show signs of life from a low base. We have high conviction in maintaining zero allocation to Malaysia on corporate governance issues.

The South African economy continues to have structural problems requiring fiscal reforms to correct but in the shorter-term stagflation appears to be easing and the twin current account and fiscal deficits in the country should start to improve. We are just slightly underweight the country as we find compelling stock selection opportunities in the country.

From a thematic perspective, we continue to own and seek companies benefiting from the growth of the aging population, where demand is high for health care, consumer experiences and services, including travel and leisure activities, in contrast to the demand for consumer staples.

Real Estate Securities Fund

The Penn Series Real Estate Securities Fund returned 9.39% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to the 13.38% return for its benchmark, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index.

The Fund had a positive total return in the period but underperformed its benchmark. This was partially because we did not own certain companies with relatively stable cash flows and above-average yields that outperformed, such as triple-net-lease and health care real estate securities trusts (REITs), with investors paying a premium for those characteristics, seemingly with little regard for valuations or longer-term growth prospects.

Examples include our underweight in Ventas in the health care sector and non-investment in Realty Income Corp. in the triple-net group. Both stocks rose more than 30% in the period. Also in the health care sector, we were overweight Omega Healthcare Investors, which despite generally favorable quarterly results, underperformed amid concerns that regulatory issues could threaten the profit margins of its skilled nursing care tenants.

Our underweight allocation and stock selection in industrial property owners also detracted. The sector benefited from the continuing development of e-commerce and third-party logistics services, but we are concerned that growth is decelerating, which could result in sharp declines in richly valued share prices. Our underweight in specialty REITs further detracted, as did our overweight in the apartment sector. Despite generally healthy demand for apartments, investors were concerned that the sector’s cash-flow growth will slow amid ample supply. We believe, however, that the sector’s expansion will continue at a healthy pace and that supply will actually peak in 2016.

The largest contributor to the Fund’s relative performance was stock selection in regional mall owners, where we focused on companies with high-quality assets that have shown the ability to successfully redevelop properties. We also largely avoided the underperforming Class B mall owners, which are more vulnerable to store closings as it is generally more difficult for them to redevelop properties or replace tenants.

Further contributing to relative performance was our overweight in data centers. However, the relative benefit was largely offset by our stock selection in the sector. Our

overweight in self storage REITs also modestly contributed, as demand has continued to outstrip limited new supply, driving strong same-store sales growth for these companies.

Despite increased concerns about the global economy and possible fallout from Brexit, the U.S. economy continues to improve. We expect it will expand at a modest pace and we favor companies that we believe should benefit from that growth.

Year-to-date, investors have been willing to pay relatively high premiums for REITs with the most stable cash flows and high dividend yields. By contrast, we remain focused on stocks that we believe trade at attractive levels relative to the value of their property holdings and expected cash-flow growth. If these companies demonstrate they can deliver on expectations, we believe earnings multiples may expand.

We remain overweight apartments as we believe concerns of excess supply are likely overstated and supply should actually peak this year. Data centers should continue to display solid growth prospects even under soft economic conditions, in our view. Additionally, we view high-quality regional mall owners as being in a position to increase tenants’ rents, even as second- and third-tier malls struggle, as prime properties are limited and increasingly prized by retailers.

We consider the industrial sector’s valuations to be relatively and rental growth likely to decelerate in the coming year. We remain underweight offices, especially suburban property owners, due to high valuations, ample supply and flat or decelerating revenue trends in many markets.

Aggressive Allocation Fund

The Penn Series Aggressive Allocation Fund returned 2.82% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 3.62% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of 5.31% 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 underperformed its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index for the year-to-date period. Detracting from 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, underperformed domestic equity indices by more than 7.8% during the period. Contributing to performance at the asset class level was exposure to real estate, mid cap value and large cap value.

While, from an asset class perspective, the Fund’s allocation to developed international equity detracted from equity returns, at the underlying fund level, the strongest year-to-date contribution within equity came from its allocation to the International Equity Fund. The International Equity Fund outperformed its respective benchmark by approximately 1.58% during the period which aided year-to-date performance of the Aggressive Allocation Fund. Also contributing to performance at the underlying fund level was the Mid Core Value Fund.

For the six month time period, at the asset class level, exposure to large cap value helped performance during the period, at the underlying fund level, allocations to the Large Cap Value and Large Core Value funds detracted from performance as both funds notably underperformed their benchmarks during the period.

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 3.09% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 3.62% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of 5.31% 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 underperformed its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index for the year-to-date period. Detracting from 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, underperformed domestic equity indices by more than 7.8% during the period. Contributing to performance at the asset class level was exposure to real estate, mid cap value and large cap value.

Moderate Allocation Fund

The Penn Series Moderate Allocation Fund returned 3.55% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 3.62% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of 5.31% 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.

At the broad asset class level, the Moderate Allocation Fund’s equity allocation underperformed its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index for the year-to-date period. The Fund’s fixed income allocation also slightly underperformed its broad fixed income benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index during the period.

Detracting from the Fund’s performance versus its equity benchmark at the asset class level was the Fund’s allocation to developed international equity asset class. Developed international stocks, as represented by the MSCI EAFE Index, underperformed domestic equity indices by more than 7.8% during the first six months of the year and therefore had a negative impact to the Fund’s performance. Contributing to performance at the asset class level was exposure to real estate, mid cap value and large cap value.

While, from an asset class perspective, the Fund’s allocation to developed international equity detracted from equity returns, at the underlying fund level, the strongest year-to-date contribution within equity came from its allocation to the International Equity Fund. The International Equity Fund outperformed its respective benchmark by approximately 1.58% during the period which aided year-to-date performance of the Moderate Allocation Fund. Also contributing to performance at the underlying fund level was the Mid Core Value Fund.

On the fixed income side, the Fund’s asset class allocation to short-term bonds negatively impacted fixed income performance as this asset class did not perform as strongly as intermediate-term bonds during the period.

At the underlying fund level, the Fund’s allocation to intermediate-term bonds contributed the most to relative performance while its allocation to short-term bonds 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.

The Moderately Conservative Allocation Fund is comprised of a target allocation of 40% equity funds, both active and passive, and 60% fixed income funds. The equity allocation of the Fund consists of domestic equity funds comprised of large capitalization and mid capitalization funds as well as developed international equity funds and the fixed income portion is mostly allocated to intermediate-term and short-term bond funds.

At the broad asset class level, the Fund’s fixed income allocation underperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the period mainly due to its asset class allocation to short-term fixed income and cash equivalents. At the underlying fund level, the Fund’s allocation to intermediate-term bonds contributed the most to relative fixed income performance during the period.

The Fund performed in-line with its broad equity benchmark, the Russell 3000 Index for the six-month period at the asset class level. Contributing to the Fund’s equity performance versus its benchmark was the Fund’s asset class allocation to large cap value, mid cap value and real estate.

The Penn Series Conservative Allocation Fund returned 3.77% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2016, compared to its benchmarks, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s return of 5.31% and the Russell 3000 Index’s return of 3.62% 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 negative impact to performance as its asset allocation to short-term bonds and cash equivalents underperformed 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.

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, 2016 and held through June 30, 2016. 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.

See Security Valuation Note.
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, 2016. 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, 2016 is $4,777,210.
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, 2016. 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.

It is the Fund’s practice to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the fair value as of the beginning of the period.

$3,206,889 was transferred from Level 1 into Level 2 at 6/30/16 as the Fund utilized third-party vendor modeling tools to reflect any significant market movements between the time at which the Fund valued its securities and the earlier closing of foreign markets. The Fund did not have any transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 fair value hierarchy during the reporting period.

1     Total investment return is based on the change in net asset value of a share during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions at net asset value. Total returns do not reflect expenses associated with variable contracts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which if reflected would reduce the total returns for all periods presented. Total returns may reflect adjustments to conform with generally accepted accounting principles.

2     The net investment income (loss) per share was calculated using the average shares outstanding method.

3     The ratio includes expenses waived/reimbursed net of amount recaptured and fees paid indirectly, where applicable; if expenses waived/reimbursed net of amount recaptured and fees paid indirectly were excluded, the ratio would have been higher (lower), respectively, than the ratio shown.

4    The ratio excludes expenses waived/reimbursed net of amount recaptured and fees paid indirectly, where applicable; if expenses waived/reimbursed net of amount recaptured and fees paid indirectly were included, the ratio would have been lower than the ratio shown.

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2016 (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 valued 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 “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, LLC. (“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 Funds’ investments. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that

 

191


Table of Contents

 

Penn Series Funds, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2016 (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 year ended June 30, 2016, if any, are shown as notes on the Schedule of Investments of the individual Fund.

Significant Level 3 items at June 30, 2016 consist of $4,263,895 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.

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 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, 2015 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, 2015, 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.

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2016 (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, 2016, 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:

Aggressive Allocation Fund         631         179                   

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, previously waived advisory fees were recaptured by PMAM. The recaptured fees are shown as Recaptured advisory fees on the statement of operations and are as follows:

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, 2015, 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, 2015, 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.

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 Quality Bond, Flexibly Managed and Mid Cap Growth Funds 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.

The following table presents derivative assets and liabilities net of amounts available for offset under a MNA and, as applicable, the related collateral and potential loss exposure to each Fund as of June 30, 2016:

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.

Each Fund may face potential risks associated with the United Kingdom’s vote on June 23, 2016 to leave the European Union (the “EU”), commonly referred to as “Brexit.” There are considerable uncertainties about the repercussions resulting from Brexit, including the impact on trade agreements, regulations, and treaties. Brexit is expected to occur within two years, but the exact time frame is unknown and may change. Brexit may also increase the likelihood that other EU members may decide to leave the EU. These potential consequences may result in increased market volatility and illiquidity in the United Kingdom, the EU and other financial markets, as well as slower economic growth and fluctuations in exchange rates. Any of these events may have a significant adverse effect on global markets and economies, which in turn could negatively impact the value of each Fund’s investments.

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/or 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. On September 9, 2015, the Board approved changes to the MMF’s investment objective and principal investment strategies to enable the MMF to operate as a government money market fund. As a government money market fund, MMF is permitted to continue to transact at a constant net asset value. To qualify as a government money market fund, MMF must invest at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are “collateralized fully” (i.e., backed by cash or U.S. government securities). Accordingly, MMF’s revised investment objective and principal investment strategies require that MMF invest 99.5% or more of its total assets in cash, U.S. government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully by cash and/or U.S. government securities. MMF’s conversion to a government money market fund was successfully completed on May 1, 2016.

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 no additional subsequent events require 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, LLC (“PMAM”), formerly Penn Mutual Asset 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 Penn Series 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 10, 2016 and May 19, 2016 (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 Penn Series Funds’ operations and the Penn Series 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 Penn Series 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 a report from Broadridge, 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 Penn Series 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 Penn Series 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 Penn Series 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 Penn Series Funds in the past, and that these services are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the Penn Series 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 Broadridge, an independent, third party research provider, to prepare advisory contract renewal reports to help the Board compare the Penn Series Funds’ performance with the performance of a peer group of comparable funds selected by Broadridge. 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 concerning potential changes to the advisory arrangements for the SMID Cap Growth Fund and Large Core Growth Fund. 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 Broadridge to prepare

Table of Contents

 

Penn Series Funds, Inc.

advisory contract renewal reports to help the Board compare the Penn Series Funds’ fees and expenses with those of a peer group of comparable funds selected by Broadridge. 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 Penn Series 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. In its consideration of the profitability of PMAM and its affiliates, the Directors were provided with information about, and considered the profitability of, the various administrative and servicing arrangements between the Penn Series Funds and PMAM and its affiliates. The Directors also 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 are shared with a Penn Series Fund’s shareholders through breakpoints or other means, including any fee waivers by PMAM and its affiliates or the Sub-Advisers. The Directors, in particular, considered PMAM’s approach to the implementation of new breakpoints and the review of existing breakpoints. 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 the realization of any economies of scale 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.
