(a)

Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Total returns and average annual returns reflect changes in share price, reinvestment of distributions, and are net of expenses. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. When shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data presented. Visit www.tetonadv.com for performance information as of the most recent month end. For the SmallCap Equity, Mid-Cap Equity, Convertible Securities, and Intermediate Bond Funds (and for the Mighty Mites FundSM through September 30, 2005), Teton Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”) reimbursed expenses to limit the expense ratio. Had such limitations not been in place, returns would have been lower. The contractual expense limitations are in effect through January 31, 2018 and are renewable annually by the Adviser. The Funds, except for the Equity, Balanced, and Intermediate Bond Funds, impose a 2% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within seven days after the date of purchase. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of a Fund before investing. The prospectuses contain information about these and other matters and should be read carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus, please visit our website at www.tetonadv.com.

(b)

Includes the effect of the maximum 4.00% sales charge at the beginning of the period.

(c)

The performance of the Class AAA Shares is used to calculate performance for the periods prior to the issuance of Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares, except for Mid-Cap Equity Fund whose performance for all share classes is based on the Fund’s inception date of May 31, 2013. The performance for the Class A Shares and Class C Shares would have been lower due to the additional fees and expenses associated with these classes of shares. The performance for the Class I Shares would have been higher due to the lower expenses associated with this class of shares. The inception dates for the Class AAA Shares and the initial issuance dates for the Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares after which shares remained continuously outstanding are listed below.

(d)

Assuming payment of the 1% maximum contingent deferred sales charge imposed on redemptions made within one year of purchase.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

For the Six Month Period from October 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017

 

 

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees and expenses regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a fund. When a fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, this figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The Expense Table on page 4 illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this section to help you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period after any fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return during the past six months, and the 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 “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid during this period.

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio. It assumes a hypothetical annualized return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case – because the hypothetical return used is not the Fund’s actual return – the results do not apply to your investment and you cannot use the hypothetical account value and expense to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. This example is useful in making comparisons of the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees, if any, which are described in the Prospectus. If these costs were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Therefore, the 5% hypothetical return is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Total return represents aggregate total return of a hypothetical $1,000 investment at the beginning of the period and sold at the end of the period including reinvestment of distributions and does not reflect applicable sales charges. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized.

(a)

Per share data are calculated using the average shares outstanding method.

(b)

For the six months ended March 31, 2017, unaudited.

(c)

Annualized.

(d)

The Fund received credits from a designated broker who agreed to pay certain Fund operating expenses. Had such payments not been made, the expense ratios for the six months ended March 31, 2017 and the years ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 would have been (1.07%, 1.39% and 1.54%) Class AAA, (1.32%, 1.68% and 1.79%) Class A, (1.82%, 2.16% and 2.29%) Class C, and (0.82%, 0.95% and 1.29%) Class I Shares, respectively.

(e)

The Fund incurred interest expense during the years ended September 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014. For the year ended September 30, 2016, there was no material impact on the expense ratios. For the years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, if interest expense had not been incurred, the ratio of operating expenses to average net assets would have been 1.33% and 1.50% (Class AAA), 1.62% and 1.75% (Class A), 2.10% and 2.25% (Class C), 0.89% and1.25% (Class I), respectively.

(f)

Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

(g)

From the commencement of offering of Fund Shares on May 31, 2013 through September 30, 2013.

(h)

Certain non-recurring expenses incurred by the Fund were not annualized in the calculation of the expense ratios. If these expenses were annualized, the total operating expense ratios before waivers and reimbursements would have been 10.11% (Class AAA), 10.36% (Class A), 10.86% (Class C), and 9.86% (Class I).

TETON Westwood Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization. The TETON Westwood Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 12, 1986. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company and currently consists of seven active separate investment portfolios: TETON Westwood Mighty MitesSM Fund (“Mighty MitesSM Fund”), TETON Westwood SmallCap Equity Fund (“SmallCap Equity Fund”), TETON Westwood Mid-Cap Equity Fund (“Mid-Cap Equity Fund”), TETON Convertible Securities Fund (“Convertible Securities Fund”), TETON Westwood Equity Fund (“Equity Fund”), TETON Westwood Balanced Fund (“Balanced Fund”), and TETON Westwood Intermediate Bond Fund (“Intermediate Bond Fund”), (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), each with four classes of shares. Each class of shares outstanding bears the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights and conditions, except that the expenses incurred in the distribution and marketing of such shares are different for each class.

The investment objectives of each Fund are as follows:

 

 

Mighty MitesSM Fund seeks to provide long term capital appreciation by investing primarily in micro-capitalization equity securities.

 

 

SmallCap Equity Fund seeks to provide long term capital appreciation by investing primarily in smaller capitalization equity securities.

 

 

Mid-Cap Equity Fund seeks to provide long term growth of capital and future income by investing primarily in mid-cap equity securities.

 

 

Convertible Securities Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income as well as long term capital appreciation.

 

 

Equity Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation. The Equity Fund’s secondary goal is to produce current income.

 

 

Balanced Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation and current income resulting in a high total investment return consistent with prudent investment risk and a balanced investment approach.

 

 

Intermediate Bond Fund seeks to maximize total return, while maintaining a level of current income consistent with the maintenance of principal and liquidity.

2. Significant Accounting Policies. As an investment company, the Trust follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance, which is part of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that may require the use of management estimates and assumptions in the preparation of its financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities listed or traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price or a market’s official closing price as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. If there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the average of the closing bid and asked prices or, if there were no asked prices quoted on that day, then the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, the security is valued at the most recently available price or, if the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) so determines, by such other method as the Board shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange or market are valued according to the broadest and most representative market, as determined by Teton Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”). Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at each Underlying Fund’s NAV per share as of the report date.

Portfolio securities primarily traded on a foreign market are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on the relevant market, but may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board if market conditions change significantly after the close of the foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. Debt obligations for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the average of the latest bid and asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted on such day, the security is valued using the closing bid price. Such debt obligations are valued through prices provided by a pricing service approved by the Board. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations.

Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined by the Board. Fair valuation methodologies and procedures may include, but are not limited to: analysis and review of available financial and non-financial information about the company; comparisons with the valuation and changes in valuation of similar securities, including a comparison of foreign securities with the equivalent U.S. dollar value American Depositary Receipt securities at the close of the U.S. exchange; and evaluation of any other information that could be indicative of the value of the security.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

 

The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

   

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.); and

 

   

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Board’s determinations as to the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in the aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of the Funds’ investments in securities by inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2017 is as follows:

 

    Valuation Inputs    
    Level 1

  Level 2 Other Significant

During the six months ended March 31, 2017, the Mighty MitesSM Fund had transfers of $9,006,601 or 0.86% of net assets as of September 30, 2016 among Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, transfers of $11,556,479 or 1.10% of net assets as of September 30, 2016 from Level 2 to Level 1, transfers of $3,844,755 or 0.37% of net assets as of September 30, 2016 from Level 1 to Level 3, and transfers of $240,757 or 0.02% of net assets as of September 30, 2016 from Level 3 to Level 2. Transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 and transfers from Level 1 and Level 3 are due to a decline in market activity, e.g., frequency of trades, which resulted in a lack of available market inputs to determine price. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 and transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are due to an increase in market activity, e.g., frequency of trades, which resulted in an increase in available market inputs to determine the price.

The SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Convertible Securities Fund, Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund did not have transfers among Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the six months ended March 31, 2017. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers among Levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.

There were no Level 3 investments held at March 31, 2017 or September 30, 2016 for SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Convertible Securities Fund, Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund.

Additional Information to Evaluate Qualitative Information.

General. The Funds use recognized industry pricing services – approved by the Board and unaffiliated with the Adviser – to value most of their securities, and use broker quotes provided by market makers of securities not valued by these and other recognized pricing sources. Several different pricing feeds are received to value domestic equity securities, international equity securities, preferred equity securities, and fixed income securities. The data within these feeds are ultimately sourced from major stock exchanges and trading systems where these securities trade. The prices supplied by external sources are checked

by obtaining quotations or actual transaction prices from market participants. If a price obtained from the pricing source is deemed unreliable, prices will be sought from another pricing service or from a broker/dealer that trades that security or similar securities.

Fair Valuation. Fair valued securities may be common or preferred equities, warrants, options, rights, or fixed income obligations. Where appropriate, Level 3 securities are those for which market quotations are not available, such as securities not traded for several days or for which current bids are not available, or which are restricted as to transfer. When fair valuing a security, factors to consider include recent prices of comparable securities that are publicly traded, reliable prices of securities not publicly traded, the use of valuation models, current analyst reports, valuing the income or cash flow of the issuer, or cost if the preceding factors do not apply. A significant change in the unobservable inputs could result in a lower or higher value in Level 3 securities. The circumstances of Level 3 securities are frequently monitored to determine if fair valuation measures continue to apply.

The Adviser reports quarterly to the Board the results of the application of fair valuation policies and procedures. These may include back testing the prices realized in subsequent trades of these fair valued securities to fair values previously recognized.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Unrealized gains and losses that result from changes in foreign exchange rates and/or changes in market prices of securities have been included in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gain/(loss) on investments.

Foreign Securities. The Funds may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the inability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies, and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Foreign Taxes. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.

Restricted Securities. Each Fund may invest up to 10% (except for the Mighty MitesSM Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, and Income Fund which may invest up to 15%) of its net assets in securities for which the markets are restricted. Restricted securities include securities whose disposition is subject to substantial legal or contractual restrictions. The sale of restricted securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the-counter markets. Restricted securities may sell at a price lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale. Securities freely saleable among qualified institutional investors under special rules adopted by the SEC may be treated as liquid if they satisfy liquidity standards established by the Board. The continued liquidity of such securities is not as well assured as that of publicly traded securities, and accordingly the Board will monitor their liquidity. At March 31, 2017, the Funds did not hold any restricted securities.

Investments in other Investment Companies. All Funds may invest, from time to time, in shares of other investment companies (or entities that would be considered investment companies but are excluded from the definition pursuant to certain exceptions under the 1940 Act) (the “Acquired Funds”) in accordance with the 1940 Act and related rules. Shareholders in these Funds would bear the pro rata portion of the periodic expenses of the Acquired Funds in addition to the Fund’s expenses. For the six months ended March 31, 2017, both the Mighty MitesSM Fund’s and Intermediate Bond Fund’s pro rata portion of the periodic expenses charged by the Acquired Funds was 1 basis point. For the six months ended March 31, 2017, the Equity Fund’s and Balanced Fund’s pro rata portion of the periodic expenses charged by the Acquired Funds was less than one basis point.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date with realized gain or loss on investments determined by using the identified cost method. Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities that are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as a Fund becomes aware of such dividends.

Determination of Net Asset Value and Calculation of Expenses. Certain administrative expenses are common to, and allocated among, various affiliated funds. Such allocations are made on the basis of each fund’s average net assets or other criteria directly affecting the expenses as determined by the Adviser pursuant to procedures established by the Board.

In calculating the NAV per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, redemption fees, and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. Distribution expenses are borne solely by the class incurring the expense.

Custodian Fee Credits and Interest Expense. When cash balances are maintained in a Fund’s custody account, the Fund receives credits which are used to offset custodian fees. The gross expenses paid under each custody arrangement are included in custodian fees in the Statements of Operations with the corresponding expense offset, if any, shown as “Custodian fee credits.” When cash balances are overdrawn, a Fund is charged an overdraft fee equal to 90% of the current Treasury Bill rate on outstanding balances. These amounts, if any, would be included in the Statements of Operations.

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid annually for the Mighty MitesSM Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, and Equity Fund, and quarterly for the Convertible Securities Fund and Balanced Fund. The Intermediate Bond Fund declares dividends daily and pays those dividends monthly. Distributions of net realized gain on investments are normally declared and paid at least annually by each Fund. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are based on income and capital gains as determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from income and capital gains as determined under GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities and foreign currency transactions held by the Funds, timing differences, net operating loss write off, and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Funds. Distributions from net investment income for federal income tax purposes include net realized gains on foreign currency transactions. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the period when the differences arise. These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Funds.

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended September 30, 2016 was as follows:

Provision for Income Taxes. The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Funds’ net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

The Funds are required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Funds as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. As of March 31, 2017, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Funds’ net assets or results of operations. The Funds’ federal and state tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain open, subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. On an ongoing basis, the Adviser will monitor the Funds’ tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

3. Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Transactions. The Funds have entered into investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with the Adviser which provide that the Funds will pay the Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% for the Mighty MitesSM Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Convertible Securities Fund, and Equity Fund, 0.75% for the Balanced Fund, and 0.60% for the Intermediate Bond Fund, of the value of a Fund’s average daily net assets. In accordance with the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser provides a continuous investment program for the Funds’ portfolios, oversees the administration of all aspects of the Funds’ business and affairs, and pays the compensation of all Officers and Trustees of the Funds who are affiliated persons of the Adviser.

There was a reduction in the advisory fee paid to the Adviser relating to certain portfolio holdings, i.e., unsupervised assets, of the Mighty MitesSM Fund with respect to which the Adviser transferred dispositive and voting control to the Funds’ Proxy Voting Committee. During the six months ended March 31, 2017, the Funds’ Proxy Voting Committee exercised control and discretion over all rights to vote or consent with respect to such securities, and the Adviser reduced its fee with respect to such securities by $39,398.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive investment advisory fees and/or to reimburse expenses to the SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Convertible Securities Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund in the event annual expenses of such Funds exceed certain prescribed limits. Such fee waiver/reimbursement arrangements continue at least until January 31, 2018. For the six months ended March 31, 2017, the Adviser waived fees or reimbursed expenses in the amounts of $31,006, $41,492, $55,372, and $40,398 for the SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Convertible Securities Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund, respectively.

During the six months ended March 31, 2017, the expense limitations in place for the SmallCap Equity Fund were as follows:

 

    From October 1, 2016 through
February 28, 2017
  From March 1, 2017 through
March 31, 2017

SmallCap Equity Fund Class AAA

SmallCap Equity Fund Class C

  2.25%   2.00%

SmallCap Equity Fund Class I

  1.25%   1.00%

In addition, the SmallCap Equity Fund, the Convertible Securities Fund, and the Intermediate Bond Fund are obliged to repay the Adviser for a period of two fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the Adviser reimbursed the Funds only to the extent that the operating expenses of these Funds fall below the foregoing respective expense limitations based on average net assets for the SmallCap Equity Fund, and below the following expense limitations for the Convertible Securities Fund and the Intermediate Bond Fund for Class AAA Shares 1.15% and 1.00%, respectively, for Class A Shares 1.40% and 1.10%, respectively, for Class C Shares 1.90 and 1.75%, respectively, and for Class I Shares 0.90% and 0.75%, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, the cumulative unreimbursed amounts which may be recovered by the Adviser within the next two fiscal years are as follows:

Pursuant to shareholder approvals, effective February 1, 2017 for the Convertible Securities Fund and March 1, 2017 for the Mighty MitesSM Fund, Gabeli Funds, LLC, an affiliate, became a Subadviser (“Gabelli Subadviser”) to the Adviser. The Adviser pays Gabelli Funds, LLC out of its advisory fees a monthly fee, computed and accrued daily, based on an annual rate of 0.32% of the average net assets of these two Funds. In addition, the Adviser has a Subadvisory Agreement with Westwood Management Corp. (the “Westwood Subadviser”) for the Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund. The Adviser paid the Westwood Subadviser out of its advisory fees with respect to these three Funds a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, in an amount equal on an annualized basis to the greater of (i) $150,000 per year on an aggregate basis for all applicable Funds or (ii) 35% of the net revenues to the Adviser from the applicable Funds.

The Adviser has a sub-administration agreement for each of the Funds with Gabelli Funds, LLC. Gabelli Funds, LLC has entered into an agreement with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. to provide certain administrative services to the Funds.

As per the approval of the Board, the Mid-Cap Equity Fund compensates officers of the Fund, who are employed by the Fund and are not employed by the Adviser (although the officers may receive incentive based variable compensation from affiliates of the Adviser). For the six months ended March 31, 2017, the Fund paid or accrued $1,127 in payroll expenses in the Statement of Operations.

The Trust pays each Trustee who is not considered an affiliated person an annual retainer of $9,000 plus $2,000 for each Board meeting attended, and they are reimbursed by the Trust for any out of pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings. All Board committee members receive $1,000 per meeting attended, the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives a $3,000 annual fee, and the Lead Trustee receives an annual fee of $2,000. A Trustee may receive a single meeting fee, allocated among the participating funds, for attending certain meetings held on behalf of multiple funds. Trustees who are directors or employees of the Adviser or an affiliated company receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Trust.

4. Distribution Plan. The Trust’s Board has adopted a distribution plan (the “Plan”) for each class of shares, except Class I Shares, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Class AAA, Class A, and Class C Share Plans, payments are authorized to G.distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, at annual rates of 0.25%, 0.50% (for the Intermediate Bond Fund’s Class A Shares at an annual rate of 0.35%), and 1.00%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of those classes, the annual limitations under each Plan. Such payments are accrued daily and paid monthly.

Additionally, the Distributor retained a total of $33,804 from investors representing commissions (sales charges and underwriting fees) on sales and redemptions of Fund shares.

Pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act, the Funds may engage in purchase or sale transactions with other funds managed by the Adviser or an affiliated adviser. During the six months ended March 31, 2017, such transactions for the Mighty MitesSM Fund and the Convertible Securities Fund amounted to $54,610 and $778,800, respectively, in purchase transactions.

The amount of such expenses paid through this directed brokerage arrangement during this period was $4,383, $758, $383, $880, and $898, respectively.

The cost of calculating each Fund’s NAV per share is a Fund expense pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.

As of March 31, 2017, the Mid-Cap Equity Fund’s Adviser and its affiliates and officers beneficially owned greater than 25% of the voting securities of the Mid-Cap Equity Fund. This includes accounts for which the affiliates of the Adviser have voting control but disclaim pecuniary interest.

7. Shares of Beneficial Interest. The Funds offer four classes of shares – Class AAA Shares, Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares. Class AAA Shares and Class I Shares are offered without a sales charge. Class A Shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.00% and Class C Shares are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge for one year after purchase.

The Mighty MitesSM Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, and Convertible Securities Fund impose a redemption fee of 2.00% on all classes of shares that are redeemed or exchanged on or before the seventh day of a purchase. The redemption fee is deducted from the proceeds otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholders and is retained by the respective Fund as an increase in paid-in capital. The redemption fees, if any, retained by the Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2017 and the year ended September 30, 2016, can be found in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets under Redemption Fees.
