(a)For the SmallCap Equity and Convertible Securities Funds (and for the Mighty Mites Fund through September 30, 2005), 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, 2024 and are renewable annually by the Adviser. The gross expense ratios and expense ratios after adviser reimbursements are from the current prospectus dated January 27, 2023. The Funds, except for the Equity and Balanced Funds, impose a 2.00% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within seven days after the date of purchase.

Performance Discussion (Unaudited)

 

Mighty Mites Fund

 

To Our Shareholders,

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the net asset value (NAV) total return per Class AAA Share of the TETON Westwood Mighty Mites Fund was 16.5% compared with a total return of 9.1% for the Russell 2000 Index. See the next page for additional performance information.

 

Investment Objective and Strategy

 

The Fund primarily invests in small and micro-cap equity securities that have a market capitalization of $500 million or less at time of initial investment. The portfolio management team focuses on bottom up stock selection, seeking bite sized companies with excellent management teams, strong balance sheets, and superior long term fundamentals. As bottom up, fundamental, research driven investors, the team seeks to purchase the inefficiently priced stocks of excellent companies selling at a discount to their Private Market Value (PMV), and possess a catalyst that can unlock hidden value within the enterprise. As such, (y)our portfolio is diversified across a broad cross section of companies sharing these valuation characteristics.

 

Performance Discussion

 

Stock market indices appreciated during the final quarter of the calendar year 2022 as inflation decelerated, fueling optimism that the Fed may be close to the conclusion of its tightening cycle. The December release of CPI (+7.1%) indicated that core inflation softened to 6.0% over the last twelve months, a step down from the October reading. The higher interest rate environment appears to be dampening inflation but also growth, which sustained investors’ recession concerns. But as we have stated in previous letters, the U.S. consumer remains resilient. Americans have more savings than they did at pre-pandemic levels, and workers garnered higher wages amid tight labor conditions.

 

Equity markets moved broadly higher in the first quarter of 2023 despite significant volatility, driven by a growing roster of macroeconomic risks and uncertainties. Companies continue to experience persistent supply chain and labor cost pressures, but have noted some relief from the raw material and logistics expenses that pressured results for much of the past two years. The largely employed U.S. consumer (unemployment stood at 3.5% in March) continues to spend, particularly in categories such as staples and travel, but high housing and transportation costs have pressured household budgets and weakened demand for more discretionary items. Price increases, a staple of business activity over the past few years, are becoming less frequent.

 

Among the Fund’s top contributors to performance for the period were: Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings Inc. (2.1% of net assets as of March 31, 2023), which is a manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems for defense and space applications; Myers Industries Inc. (3.3%),which is a manufacturer of polymer products for storing and transporting materials and goods, and global distributor of tire repair and retread products; and Distribution Solutions Group Inc. (1.9%), which distributes consumable industrial products for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) use in a number of end markets.

 

Some of the detractors to performance included: Farmers and Merchants Bank of Long Beach (1.6%) is a state chartered bank that offers a range of banking products and services to individuals, professionals, and small to medium sized businesses Flushing Financial Corp. (1.3%) operates as the bank holding company for Flushing Bank that provides banking products and services primarily to consumers, businesses and governmental units; and Cutera Inc. (1.3%) is a manufacturer of non-invasive laser and other energy based systems and products for cosmetic vascular conditions, body sculpting, hair removal, skin rejuvenation, pigmented lesions, and tattoo removal.

 

We appreciate your continued confidence and trust.

SmallCap Equity Fund (Unaudited)

 

To Our Shareholders,

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the net asset value (NAV) total return per Class AAA Share of the TETON Westwood SmallCap Equity Fund was 10.8% compared with a total return of 9.1% for the Russell 2000 Index. See the next page for additional performance information.

 

Investment Objective and Strategy

 

The Fund invests primarily in small cap companies that, through bottom up fundamental research, the portfolio manager believes are attractively priced relative to their earnings growth potential or Private Market Value. The Fund characterizes small capitalization companies as those companies with a market capitalization between $100 million and $2.5 billion at the time of the Fund’s initial investment.

 

Performance Discussion

 

The overriding concern impacting markets has been how much further the U.S. Federal Reserve and global central banks will raise interest rates to tame inflation. The Fed hiked its Federal Funds rate by half a point in December 2022 and suggested a terminal rate of around 5%. December’s rate move marked a downshift by the Fed following four consecutive 75 basis point hikes that have boosted rates at the fastest pace since the 1980s. Despite the most rapid tightening of financial conditions in a generation, the U.S. economy is entering 2023 in decent shape. Job growth remains robust, consumers have ample savings, and corporate earnings are at record levels.

 

The first quarter of 2023 ended amidst stock market turbulence over fears that the collapse of a few regional banks would trigger a contagion of systemic deposit outflows. The rapid collapse into Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) receivership of SVB Financial Group and Signature Bank, along with the virtual wipeout of First Republic Bank equity holders, has raised concerns over the stability and durability of U.S. community banks as rising interest rates force markdowns of bank bond portfolio holdings.

 

While our bank holdings have borne some of the brunt of the market sell off, well capitalized community banks remain the lifeblood of the U.S. economy, vital to capital formation and lending to small businesses, which drive both employment and GDP growth. Banks with less than $10 billion in assets accounted for nearly 43 percent of small loans to businesses outstanding at the end of 2022, according to a study at Florida Atlantic University. The 13 largest banks, by contrast, accounted for less than 23 percent of small business loans.

 

Among our stronger performing stocks for the period were: Onto Innovation Inc. (3.3% of net assets as of March 31, 2023) is a semiconductor equipment provider well known for its metrology and inspection products; AAR Corp, (2.8%) which provides products and services to commercial aviation, government, and defense markets worldwide; and MYR Group Inc. (1.8%) is an electrical construction firm whose specialty is installation of high voltage transmission lines.

 

Some of the weaker holdings in the portfolio included: Veritex Holdings Inc. (1.4%) is a commercial bank serving Texas markets in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston metro areas; Five Star Bancorp.(0.7%) operates as the bank holding company for Five Star Bank that provides a range of banking products and services to small and medium sized businesses, professionals, and individuals in Northern California; and Omnicell Inc.(0.7%), together with its subsidiaries, provides medication management solutions and adherence tools for healthcare systems and pharmacies in the United States and internationally.

 

We thank you for your continued confidence and trust.

Convertible Securities Fund (Unaudited)

 

To Our Shareholders,

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the net asset value (NAV) total return per Class AAA Share of the TETON Convertible Securities Fund was 6.0% compared with a total return of 15.6% and 5.7% for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index and the ICE BofA U.S. Convertibles Index, respectively. See the next page for additional performance information.

 

Investment Objective and Strategy

 

The Fund invests in convertible securities. By investing in convertible securities, the portfolio managers seek the opportunity to participate in the capital appreciation of underlying stocks, while at the same time relying on the fixed income aspect of the convertible securities to provide current income and reduced price volatility, which can limit the risk of loss in a down equity market. The Fund may invest in securities of any market capitalization or credit quality, and may from time to time invest a significant amount of its assets in securities of smaller companies.

 

Performance Discussion

 

The first fiscal quarter began with a continuation of the volatility we saw in 2022, bottoming in October with extremely negative market sentiment about inflation and rising interest rates. The convertible market approached the lows that we had seen in June without breaching them. This is representative of the changes we have seen in the market over the last 2 years. Convertibles outperformed their underlying equities as the markets moved lower, and have become much more fixed income oriented. These issues should accrete to par as they approach maturity, and in the quarter we saw many of them grind higher off of the lows as sentiment slowly improved. Teton Convertible benefited from this combined with positive performance from some of the equity sensitive holdings in the portfolio. The second fiscal quarter began with a strong move higher in January. Our equity sensitive holdings greatly aided performance. Volatility returned in February and March, but convertibles remained less volatile than their underlying equities.

 

In March, the world became acutely aware of the effects of tightening monetary policy with the fall of Silicon Valley Bank and the takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS. It is unlikely that these will be the only casualties of the move higher in rates, leading investors to look for the next area of concern. Fortunately, the Fed has stepped in to support the banking system and rates have dropped to ease some of the pain.

 

The current market continues to offer us many fixed income equivalent convertibles that trade based on yield to maturity. Some of these have traded below levels that we believe are reflective of the issuer’s credit. As appropriate we have added to these positions in our portfolio as we expect them to accrete to par at or before maturity. One catalyst for this accretion is a continued focus on the balance sheet by convertible issuers. We have seen some companies that have addressed investor concerns by issuing more manageable converts and buying back or exchanging some percentage of their existing debt. This can be an accretive transaction for the company and usually improves the credit. Transactions like this helped the fixed income equivalent segment of our portfolio outperform during the first half of our fiscal year.

 

The Bloomberg Barclays US Convertible market is now $270B across 550 issues with a YTM of 5.2% and a 53% premium to conversion value. Our portfolio offers a 5.6% YTM at a 37% conversion premium. Sensitivity to moves in underlying equities has increased slightly from year end with the market delta now at 47. The Fund’s delta is slightly higher at 51.

Performance Discussion

 

During the fourth quarter 2022, U.S. equities finally turned a corner, rebounding to registering robust gains. The bulk of the rebound was made in November as cooling inflationary data and stable economic activity offset ongoing caution from the Federal Reserve (Fed). Stocks largely fell in December, closing the year on a somber note. The Fed remains a large driver for market direction, and indications that the pace of policy tightening would slow and signs that elevated inflation could be cooling were critical factors for investors.

 

U.S. equities continued the rally as we turned to 2023 amid optimism that global central banks, with the Federal Reserve leading, might soon halt interest rate hikes and even transition to rate cuts or more accommodative policies by end of the year. Unfortunately, choppy earnings, mixed economic data, and a stubbornly hawkish Fed, fueled by still sticky inflation and a tight labor market, were a few factors that quickly slowed the surge by early February. And despite a banking “crisis” in early March, the S&P 500 still managed to end the quarter in the black, gaining 7.50%.

 

Among our stronger performing positions for the year were: Microchip Technology Inc. (3.1% of net assets as of March 31, 2023) which develops, manufactures, and sells smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions in the Americas, Europe, and Asia; Gilead Sciences Inc.(3.1%) is a biopharmaceutical company which discovers, develops, and commercializes medicines in the areas of unmet medical need in the United States, Europe, and internationally; and Eaton Corp. Plc (2.0%) which operates as a power management company worldwide.

 

Some of the weaker holdings in the portfolio included: Ventas Inc. (1.4%), is an S&P 500 company, which operates at the intersection of two large and dynamic industries, healthcare and real estate; Meta Platforms Inc. (no longer held of March 31, 2023) which engages in the development of products that enable people to connect and share with friends and family through mobile devices, personal computers, virtual reality headsets, and wearables worldwide; and Western Alliance Bancorp. (no longer held), which operates as the bank holding company for Western Alliance Bank that provides various banking products and related services primarily in Arizona, California, and Nevada.

 

We appreciate your continued confidence and trust.

Balanced Fund (Unaudited)

 

To Our Shareholders,

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the net asset value (NAV) total return per Class AAA Share of the TETON Westwood Balanced Fund was 9.9% compared with total return of 5.0% and 11.4% for the Bloomberg Government/Credit Bond Index and the combined balanced benchmark comprised of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% of the Bloomberg Capital Government/Credit Bond Index, respectively. See the next page for additional performance information.

 

Investment Objective and Strategy

 

The Fund invests in a combination of equity and debt securities. The Fund is primarily equity oriented, and uses a top down approach in seeking to provide equity like returns but with lower volatility than a fully invested equity portfolio. Westwood Management Corp., the Fund’s sub-adviser (the “Westwood Sub-Adviser”) will typically invest 30% to 70% of the Fund’s assets in equity securities and 70% to 30% in debt securities, and the balance of the Fund’s assets in cash or cash equivalents. The actual mix of assets will vary depending on the Westwood Sub-Adviser’s analysis of market and economic conditions.

 

The Fund invests in stocks of seasoned companies. Seasoned companies generally have market capitalizations of $1 billion or more and have been operating for at least three years. The Westwood Sub-Adviser chooses stocks of seasoned companies with proven records and above-average earnings growth potential. The Westwood Sub-Adviser has disciplines in place that serve as sell signals such as a security reaching a predetermined price target, a change to a company’s fundamentals that make the risk/reward profile unattractive, or a need to improve the overall risk/reward profile of the Fund.

 

The debt securities held by the Fund are investment grade securities of corporate and government issuers and commercial paper and mortgage and asset backed securities. Investment grade debt securities are securities rated in one of the four highest ratings categories by a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”). The Fund may invest in fixed income securities of any maturity.

 

The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign equity securities and in European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”) or American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), including in those of companies located in emerging markets. The Fund may also invest in foreign debt securities.

 

Performance Discussion

 

During the fourth quarter 2022, U.S. equities finally turned a corner, rebounding to registering robust gains. The bulk of the rebound was made in November as cooling inflationary data and stable economic activity offset ongoing caution from the Federal Reserve (Fed). Stocks largely fell in December, closing the year on a somber note. The Fed remains a large driver for market direction, and indications that the pace of policy tightening would slow and signs that elevated inflation could be cooling were critical factors for investors. The bond market finally gained ground in the fourth quarter, posting a small gain, primarily driven by a rally in investment grade and high yield bonds. As rates rose, longer-duration bonds struggled, and investors moved out of Treasuries and supported higher-yielding corporate debt. The broad bond market closed the year with a double-digit loss, one of the worst years on record.

 

U.S. equities continued the rally as we turned to 2023 amid optimism that global central banks, with the Federal Reserve leading, might soon halt interest rate hikes and even transition to rate cuts or more accommodative policies by end of the year. Unfortunately, choppy earnings, mixed economic data and a stubbornly hawkish Fed, fueled by still sticky inflation and a tight labor market, were a few factors that quickly slowed the surge by early February. And despite a banking “crisis” in early March, the S&P 500 still managed to end the quarter in the black, gaining 7.50%.

 

Over the last three months, bond markets continued to oscillate frantically as market participants jockeyed to best position themselves in a still uncertain rate and economic climate. A bond rally early in the year was followed quickly by a selloff, then a rush back into high quality debt (U.S. Treasuries) as financial system jitters shuddered confidence in this fragile late cycle expansion phase. To put this uncertainty in perspective, the yield on the two-year U.S. Treasury surged to 5.05% on March 8, only to plummet to a low of 3.76% on March 24 — volatility in the bond market remains at twice its long term levels for the fourth quarter in a row.

 

Among our stronger performing positions for the year were: Microchip Technology Inc. (2.1% of net assets as of March 31, 2023); which develops, manufactures, and sells smart, connected, and secure embedded control solutions in the Americas, Europe, and Asia; Gilead Sciences Inc.(1.9%), is a biopharmaceutical company which, discovers, develops, and commercializes medicines in the areas of unmet medical need in the United States, Europe, and internationally; and Eaton Corp. Plc (1.2%), which operates as a power management company worldwide.

 

Some of the weaker holdings in the portfolio included: Amazon.com Inc. (1.3%), which engages in the retail sale of consumer products and subscriptions through online and physical stores in North America and internationally; Meta Platforms Inc. (no longer held of March 31,2023), which engages in the development of products that enable people to connect and share with friends and family through mobile devices, personal computers, virtual reality headsets, and wearables worldwide ; and Western Alliance Bancorp. (no longer held), which operates as the bank holding company for Western Alliance Bank that provides various banking products and related services primarily in Arizona, California, and Nevada.

TETON Westwood Funds

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

For the Six Month Period from October 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023

 

 

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 15 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.

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 five active separate investment portfolios: TETON Westwood Mighty Mites Fund (Mighty Mites Fund), TETON Westwood SmallCap Equity Fund (SmallCap Equity Fund), TETON Convertible Securities Fund (Convertible Securities Fund), TETON Westwood Equity Fund (Equity Fund), and TETON Westwood Balanced Fund (Balanced Fund), individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds.” 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 Mites 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.

 

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.

 

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. 

 

The global outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, has caused adverse effects on many companies, sectors, nations, regions and the markets in general, and may continue for an unpredictable duration. The effects of this pandemic may materially impact the value and performance of the Funds, their ability to buy and sell fund investments at appropriate valuations, and their ability to achieve its investment objectives.

  

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 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 securities are valued using the closing bid price, unless the Board determines such amount does not reflect the securities fair value, in which case these securities will be fair value as determined by the Board. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. Futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price of the exchange or board of trade on which the applicable contract is traded. OTC futures and options on futures for which market quotations are readily available will be valued by quotations received from a pricing service or, if no quotations are available from a pricing service, by quotations obtained from one or more dealers in the instrument in question by the Adviser.

 

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. The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Fund’s 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, 2023 is as follows:

During the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Mighty Mites Fund had material transfers into or out of level 3.

 

There were no Level 3 investments held at March 31, 2023 for the SmallCap Equity Fund, Convertible Securities Fund, Equity Fund, and Balanced 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.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) 

 

 

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. Among the factors to be considered to fair value a security are 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.

 

Securities Sold Short. The Funds may enter into short sale transactions. Short selling involves selling securities that may or may not be owned and, at times, borrowing the same securities for delivery to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace such borrowed securities at a later date. The proceeds received from short sales are recorded as liabilities and the Funds record an unrealized gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the value of an open short position on the day of determination. The Funds record a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out. By entering into a short sale, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security sold short. Dividends on short sales are recorded as an expense by the Funds on the ex-dividend date and interest expense is recorded on the accrual basis. The broker retains collateral for the value of the open positions, which is adjusted periodically as the value of the position fluctuates. During the six months ended March 31, 2023, there were no short sales.

 

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 Mites Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, and Convertible Securities 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. Securities deemed as liquid are not included in the limitations described above. 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. For the restricted securities the Funds held as of March 31, 2023, refer to the Schedules of Investments.

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, 2023, the Equity Fund’s and Balanced Fund’s pro rata portion of the periodic expenses charged by the Acquired Funds was each less than 1 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 or amortized to earliest call date, if applicable. 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 Mites Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, and Equity Fund, and quarterly for the Convertible Securities Fund and Balanced Fund. 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. The characterization of distributions to shareholders is 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, utilization of tax equalizations, timing differences, the adjustments for sales on investments in passive foreign investment companies, reversal of prior year real estate investment trust capital gain, redesignation of dividends paid, 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 fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 was as follows:

 

   Mighty Mites   SmallCap   Convertible         
   Fund   Equity Fund   Securities Fund   Equity Fund   Balanced Fund 
Ordinary income (inclusive of short term capital gains)  $3,413,588   $440,131   $2,901,646   $1,834,685   $2,359,741 
Net long term capital gains   100,784,565    2,643,919    4,111,285    6,849,721    4,265,614 
Total distributions paid  $04,198,153*  $3,084,050   $7,012,931   $8,684,406   $6,625,355 
                          

  

 

* Total distributions paid differs from the Statement of Changes in Net Assets due to the utilization of equalization.

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.

 

The following summarizes the tax cost of investments and the related net unrealized appreciation/depreciation at March 31, 2023:

 

   Mighty Mites   SmallCap   Convertible         
   Fund   Equity Fund   Securities Fund   Equity Fund   Balanced Fund 
Aggregate cost of investments  $263,131,584   $55,210,904   $31,159,722   $39,178,092   $38,239,504 
Gross unrealized appreciation  $192,912,211   $17,013,934   $2,760,070   $6,100,518   $3,461,767 
Gross unrealized depreciation   (30,921,664)   (2,358,371)   (3,435,269)   (713,967)   (2,586,867)
Net unrealized appreciation/depreciation  $161,990,547   $14,655,563   $(675,199)  $5,386,551   $874,900 

 

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, 2023, 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 Teton Advisors, LLC and Keeley-Teton Advisors, LLC, individually an “Adviser” and collectively, the “Advisers,” which provide that the Funds will pay the respective Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% for the Mighty Mites Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, Convertible Securities Fund, and Equity Fund, and 0.75% for the Balanced Fund, of the value of each Fund’s average daily net assets. In accordance with the Advisory Agreements, the Advisers provide a continuous investment program for the Funds’ portfolios, oversee the administration of all aspects of the Funds’ business and affairs, and pay the compensation of all Officers and Trustees of the Funds who are affiliated persons of the Advisers. Teton Advisors, LLC is the Adviser of the Mighty Mites Fund, the Convertible Securities Fund, the Equity Fund, and the Balanced Fund; and Keeley-Teton Advisors, LLC is the Adviser of the SmallCap Equity Fund.

 

There was a reduction in the Mighty Mites Fund’s advisory fee paid to its Adviser relating to certain portfolio holdings, i.e., unsupervised assets, with respect to which the Adviser transferred dispositive and voting control to the Mighty Mites Fund’s Proxy Voting Committee. During the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Mighty Mites Fund’s Proxy Voting Committee exercised control and discretion over all rights to vote or consent with respect to such securities, and the Adviser reduced its advisory fee with respect to such securities by $80,165.

 

The respective Advisers have contractually agreed to waive investment advisory fees and/or to reimburse expenses to the SmallCap Equity Fund and Convertible Securities Fund in the event annual expenses of such Funds exceed certain prescribed limits as described in the paragraph below. Such fee waiver/reimbursement arrangements continue at least until January 31,2024. For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the respective Advisers waived fees or reimbursed expenses in the amounts of $110,759 and $104,794 for the SmallCap Equity Fund and Convertible Securities Fund, respectively.

 

In addition, the SmallCap Equity Fund and the Convertible Securities Fund are obliged to repay the Adviser for a period of two and three fiscal years, respectively, 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 following expense limitations based on average net assets for the SmallCap Equity Fund and the Convertible Securities Fund for Class AAA Shares 1.25% and 1.15%, respectively, for Class A Shares 1.25% and 1.15%, respectively, for Class C Shares 2.00% and 1.90%, respectively, and for Class I Shares 1.00% and 0.90%, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the cumulative unreimbursed amounts which may be recovered by the Adviser within the next three fiscal years are as follows:

 

    For the year ended   For the year ended   For the six months     
    September 30, 2021,   September 30, 2022,   ended March 31, 2023,

In addition, the Adviser has a Subadvisory Agreement with Westwood Management Corp. for the Equity Fund and Balanced Fund.

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%, 0.25%, and 1.00%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of those classes, the annual limitations under each Plan.

9. Transactions in Securities of Affiliated Issuers. The 1940 Act defines affiliated issuers as those in which a Fund’s holdings of an issuer represent 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the issuer. A summary of the Mighty Mites Fund’s transactions in the securities of these issuers during the six months ended March 31, 2023 is set forth below:

10. Indemnifications. The Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

 

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