Money Market Funds (Unaudited)

 

 

Market Conditions

 

A material economic slowdown, although anticipated by a number of market participants, did not happen over the course of the Funds’ fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, and Federal Reserve actions to lower inflation took considerably more effort than many had thought.

 

The overall environment for the money market fund industry was quite benign. In fact, U.S. money market fund assets reached an all-time high of $6.007 trillion as of August 31, according to Money Fund Intelligence. For the 12 months ended August 31, the industry enjoyed growth of $965.4 billion, or 19.1%. This growth was driven by the high returns available in the money fund sector.

 

As of August 31, 2023, the average money market fund yield was 5.04%. The market environment rewarded very short maturity instruments as rates continued to climb upwards. The main challenge was to try to anticipate when the Fed’s monetary tightening campaign would end.

 

The U.S. Treasury Fund and the Government Securities Money Market Fund

 

The key investment opportunity during the year was to ride the wave of ever-higher short-term interest rates. To that end, we kept a very sizable proportion of funds in overnight repurchase agreements (repos), which quickly captured rate increases as they happened, and being priced at par, they did not fluctuate in value as rates rose. 

 

Both money market funds have Treasury Bill positions maturing later in the year to capture yields that are better than overnight repos. Our Government Securities Money Market Fund also has U.S. Government Agency floating rate notes that, again, yield more than overnight repos.* 

 

We began investing in overnight repos issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in the U.S. Treasury Fund, as we have been doing for more than a year in the Government Securities Money Market Fund. This adds an appreciable advantage over the typical yield of other overnight repos.*

 

Outlook

 

The federal funds futures market indicates that the Fed is close to the end of its tightening campaign, and we agree. We feel that rates will stay elevated for some time to come. The challenge will be to maintain the optimal blend of maturities and securities types to be able to exploit the opportunities the markets present.

Limited Duration Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Fund Goal

 

We pursue a strategy of broad diversification in order to benefit from investments in both corporate and government fixed-income securities as well as mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS), with the Fund maintaining a dollar-weighted average duration of no longer than 3.5 years.

 

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Limited Duration Fund A Shares (at NAV) returned 1.13%; Investor Shares returned 1.33%, while the Institutional Shares returned 1.56%. The Fund’s benchmark, the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year U.S. Corporate/Government Index1 posted a total return of 1.20%.

 

Market Conditions

 

Real economic growth has remained remarkably resilient over the past 12 months, surprising many forecasters who expected a significant decline in economic activity. In its mandate to achieve stable prices, the Federal Reserve maintained its hawkish stance throughout the period, embarking on the largest rate hike cycle in decades. While inflation remains well above the Fed’s stated 2% target, inflation is far from its peak and appears to be on a path towards the 2% level.

 

Tighter Fed policy has yet to affect employment, with the unemployment rate remaining well below 4% over the past 12 months. The strength in employment and wage gains provided a strong tailwind for consumer spending. Most notably, the housing and auto markets have remained strong in the face of significantly higher borrowing costs.

 

Despite the sharp increase in interest rates, risk markets performed admirably over the past year.

 

Within the domestic fixed income market, high yield was the star performer, posting mid- to high-single-digit returns. Looking at the U.S. high grade fixed income market, the two paths to outperformance were being short duration or having a lower quality bias. Long duration, high quality bonds were the laggards over the period, bearing the brunt of the increase in interest rates without much of a spread component to soften the blow.

 

The interest rate curve remains significantly inverted, as the market continues to price in interest rate cuts within the next two years. Given the low level of unemployment and inflation remaining above the Fed’s stated target, along with strength in the risk markets, interest rate cuts appear implausible. If these trends continue, the market should have to price out the interest rate cuts. In that environment, interest rates in the belly of the curve should rise, reducing the level of inversion. Given the potential for this outcome, we favor maintaining a short duration bias.

 

We also favor a high quality bias. Tight monetary policy has historically been effective at slowing down economic growth and inflation. The Fed has raised interest rates to levels not seen in 15 years. It makes sense to maintain a degree of caution as the ultimate impacts of the new interest rate regime may not yet be fully known. If the economy continues to strengthen, there would very likely be further spread narrowing in the riskier parts of the bond market. However, given the high absolute level of interest rates, the opportunity cost in eschewing riskier credits appears marginal.

 

Fund Strategy

 

We remain short of our benchmark on duration. Given the continued strength in the economy and risk markets, we expect monetary policy to remain tight for longer than the market currently expects. This would pressure interest rates in the belly of the curve higher and supports a shorter duration bias.*

 

We also continue to favor higher quality credits over lower quality. The spread tightening over the past 12 months has reduced the opportunity cost of holding higher quality relative to lower quality. We believe the yields available in some government sectors appear very attractive, certainly relative to much of the Baa-rated corporate market. If tight monetary policy does indeed begin to negatively affect economic growth, a high quality bias is appropriate.*

 

The same idea holds true in our preference for maintaining a high degree of liquidity. With the cash market now yielding over 5%, the hurdle rate for taking on liquidity risk is much higher than it has been in a very long time.*

 

Outlook

 

Expected returns across fixed income are as high as they have been in 15 years. Inflation is the most troubling economic outcome for fixed income investors and inflation has remained higher and stickier than most had predicted. However, the trend has certainly been lower and the rhetoric from the Fed has been consistent in that it is committed to bringing inflation back down to its 2% target. With that backdrop, fixed income appears extremely attractive compared with the low rate environment that had existed since the Great Financial Crisis.

Limited Duration Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Index Description

 

The performance of the Limited Duration Fund is measured against the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch 1-5 Year U.S. Corporate/Government Index, an unmanaged index that is comprised of investment-grade government and corporate debt securities with maturities between one- and five-years. The index does not reflect the deduction of the expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these services, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

Investment Risks

 

Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risks. The principal value of a bond falls when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. During periods of rising interest rates, the value of a bond investment is at greater risk than during periods of stable or falling rates. Short-term investment-grade bonds offer less risk and generally a lower rate of return than longer-term higher-yielding bonds. Bond funds will tend to experience smaller fluctuations in value than stock funds. However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of changing interest rates.

 

For a complete description of these and other risks associated with investing in a mutual fund, please refer to the Funds’ prospectus.

Investment performance for the Fund’s classes reflects fee waivers that have been in effect during the applicable periods. Without such waivers, the performance would have been lower. Contractual fee waivers are in effect through December 31, 2023.

 

The above expense ratios are from the Funds’ prospectus dated December 28, 2022. Additional information pertaining to the Funds’ expense ratios for the year ended August 31, 2023 can be found in the Financial Highlights.

 

1Class A Shares are subject to a 1.00% Maximum Deferred Sales Charge on shares purchased without an initial sales charge and redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Performance data does not reflect the Maximum Deferred Sales Charge. If reflected, one year performance quoted would be lower. This performance reflects the Fund’s no-Load Investor class (“Investor Shares”) for periods prior to May 2, 2011 for the A Shares. The A Shares began presenting performance linked to the Investor Class in September of 2011. Unlike Institutional Shares, Investor Shares and A Shares bear a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Shares and Institutional Shares are subject to a Shareholder Servicing Fee of 0.25%, whereas the Shareholder Servicing Fee for A Shares is 0.10%. As indicated in the table, A Shares are also subject to a sales charge (Load). Each of these differences is reflected in the performance information. Accordingly, had the A Shares of the Fund been offered for periods before May 2, 2011, the performance information would have been different as a result of differing annual operating expenses.

Moderate Duration Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Fund Goal

 

We pursue a strategy of broad diversification in order to benefit from investments in both corporate and government fixed-income securities as well as mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS), with the Fund maintaining a dollar-weighted average duration of no longer than five years.

 

 

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Moderate Duration Fund A Shares (at NAV) returned 0.59%; Investor Shares returned 0.59%, and the Institutional Shares returned 0.74%. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index1, showed total return of -0.35%.

 

Market Conditions

 

Real economic growth has remained remarkably resilient over the past 12 months, surprising many forecasters who expected a significant decline in economic activity.

Given the low level of unemployment and inflation remaining above the Fed’s stated target, along with strength in the risk markets, interest rate cuts appear implausible. If these trends continue, the market should have to price out the interest rate cuts. In that environment, interest rates in the belly of the curve should rise, reducing the level of inversion. Given the potential for this outcome, we favor maintaining a short duration bias.

 

We also favor a high quality bias. Tight monetary policy has historically been effective at slowing down economic growth and inflation.

We remain short of our benchmark on duration. Given the continued strength in the economy and  risk markets, we expect monetary policy to remain tight for longer than the market currently expects. This would pressure interest rates in the belly of the curve higher and supports a shorter duration bias.*

 

We also continue to favor higher quality credits over lower quality. The spread tightening over the past 12 months has reduced the opportunity cost of holding higher quality relative to lower quality. We believe the yields available in some government sectors appear very attractive, certainly relative to much of the Baa-rated corporate market. If tight monetary policy does indeed begin to negatively affect economic growth, a high quality bias is appropriate.*

 

The same idea holds true in our preference for maintaining a high degree of liquidity. With the cash market now yielding over 5%, the hurdle rate for taking on liquidity risk is much higher than it has been in a very long time.*

Moderate Duration Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Index Description

 

The performance of the Moderate Duration Fund is measured against the Bloomberg U.S. Intermediate Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index that is representative of investment-grade debt issues with maturities from one year up to (but not including) 10 years. The index does not reflect the deduction of the expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these services, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

Investment Risks

 

Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risks. The principal value of a bond falls when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. During periods of rising interest rates, the value of a bond investment is at greater risk than during periods of stable or falling rates. Intermediate-term investment-grade bonds offer less risk and generally a lower rate of return than longer-term higher-yielding bonds. Bond funds will tend to experience smaller fluctuations in value than stock funds. However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of changing interest rates.

 

For a complete description of these and other risks associated with investing in a mutual fund, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus.

1Class A Shares are subject to a 1.00% Maximum Deferred Sales Charge on shares purchased without an initial sales charge and redeemed within 12 months of purchase. Performance data does not reflect the Maximum Deferred Sales Charge. If reflected, one year performance quoted would be lower. This performance reflects the Fund’s no-Load Investor class (“Investor Shares”) for periods prior to May 2, 2011 for the A Shares. The A Shares began presenting performance linked to the Investor Class in September of 2011. Unlike Institutional Shares, Investor Shares and A Shares bear a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Investor Shares and Institutional Shares are subject to a Shareholder Servicing Fee of 0.25%, whereas the Shareholder Servicing Fee for A Shares is 0.10%. As indicated in the table, A Shares are also subject to a sales charge (Load). Each of these differences is reflected in the performance information. Accordingly, had the A Shares of the Fund been offered for periods before May 2, 2011, the performance information would have been different as a result of differing annual operating expenses.

Bond Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Fund Goal

 

We pursue a strategy of broad diversification in order to benefit from investments in both corporate and government fixed-income securities as well as mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS), with the Fund maintaining a dollar-weighted average maturity of three years or more and generally no longer than 10 years.

 

 

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Bond Fund A Shares (at NAV) returned -1.42%; the Investor Shares returned -1.42%; and the Institutional Shares returned -1.19%. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1, showed a total return of -1.19%.

 

Market Conditions

 

Real economic growth has remained remarkably resilient over the past 12 months, surprising many forecasters who expected a significant decline in economic activity. In its mandate to achieve stable prices, the Federal Reserve maintained its hawkish stance throughout the period, embarking on the largest rate hike cycle in decades. While inflation remains well above the Fed’s stated 2% target, inflation is far from its peak and appears to be on a path towards the 2% level.

 

Tighter Fed policy has yet to affect employment, with the unemployment rate remaining well below 4% over the past 12 months. The strength in employment and wage gains provided a strong tailwind for consumer spending. Most notably, the housing and auto markets have remained strong in the face of significantly higher borrowing costs.

 

Despite the sharp increase in interest rates, risk markets performed admirably over the past year. Within the domestic fixed income market, high yield was the star performer, posting mid- to high-single-digit returns. Looking at the U.S. high grade fixed income market, the two paths to outperformance were being short duration or having a lower quality bias. Long duration, high quality bonds were the laggards over the period, bearing the brunt of the increase in interest rates without much of a spread component to soften the blow.

 

The interest rate curve remains significantly inverted, as the market continues to price in interest rate cuts within the next two years. Given the low level of unemployment and inflation remaining above the Fed’s stated target, along with strength in the risk markets, interest rate cuts appear implausible. If these trends continue, the market should have to price out the interest rate cuts. In that environment, interest rates in the belly of the curve should rise, reducing the level of inversion. Given the potential for this outcome, we favor maintaining a short duration bias.

 

We also favor a high quality bias. Tight monetary policy has historically been effective at slowing down economic growth and inflation. The Fed has raised interest rates to levels not seen in 15 years. It makes sense to maintain a degree of caution as the ultimate impacts of the new interest rate regime may not yet be fully known. If the economy continues to strengthen, there would very likely be further spread narrowing in the riskier parts of the bond market. However, given the high absolute level of interest rates, the opportunity cost in eschewing riskier credits appears marginal.

 

Fund Strategy

 

We remain short of our benchmark on duration. Given the continued strength in the economy and risk markets, we expect monetary policy to remain tight for longer than the market currently expects. This would pressure interest rates in the belly of the curve higher and supports a shorter duration bias.*

 

We also continue to favor higher quality credits over lower quality. The spread tightening over the past 12 months has reduced the opportunity cost of holding higher quality relative to lower quality. We believe the yields available in some government sectors appear very attractive, certainly relative to much of the Baa-rated corporate market. If tight monetary policy does indeed begin to negatively affect economic growth, a high quality bias is appropriate.*

 

The same idea holds true in our preference for maintaining a high degree of liquidity. With the cash market now yielding over 5%, the hurdle rate for taking on liquidity risk is much higher than it has been in a very long time.*

 

Outlook

 

Expected returns across fixed income are as high as they have been in 15 years. Inflation is the most troubling economic outcome for fixed income investors and inflation has remained higher and stickier than most had predicted. However, the trend has certainly been lower and the rhetoric from the Fed has been consistent in that it is committed to bringing inflation back down to its 2% target. With that backdrop, fixed income appears extremely attractive compared with the low rate environment that had existed since the Great Financial Crisis.

Bond Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Index Description

 

The performance of the Bond Fund is measured against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index that is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. The index does not reflect the deduction of the expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added services, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

Investment Risks

 

Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risks. The principal value of a bond falls when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. During periods of rising interest rates, the value of a bond investment is at greater risk than during periods of stable or falling rates. Bond funds will tend to experience smaller fluctuations in value than stock funds. However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of changing interest rates.

 

For a complete description of these and other risks associated with investing in a mutual fund, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus.

Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund (Unaudited) 

 

 

Fund Goal

 

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of fixed income instruments of varying maturities. In an effort to actively enhance total return and minimize risk, the Fund will engage in opportunistic trading among various sectors based on the perceived market anomalies and inefficiencies detected by the Fund’s portfolio managers.

 

 

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund A shares (at NAV) returned -2.66%; Investor Shares returned -2.69%, and the Institutional shares returned -2.31%. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1, posted a total return of -1.19%.

 

Market Conditions

 

The financial markets evolved significantly during the 12-month period ended August 31, 2023. After experiencing two consecutive quarters of slight decline in gross domestic product in the first half of 2022, the U.S. economy resumed growth, inflation was seen as persistent rather than transient, and the labor market remained resilient throughout the 12 months. The Federal Reserve remained on path to continue its aggressive rate hike schedule, only briefly pausing in June 2023. Government spending and an ongoing threat of shutdowns resulted in a quality downgrade of U.S. government debt to AA+. Some economic sectors, including banking and housing, suffered as a consequence of the interest rate hikes, while other sectors, mainly energyrelated and selected technology, had banner years.

 

Fixed income assets leveled last year’s poor returns due to a more subdued rate of inflation and smaller rate hikes. Credit spreads tightened during the period after a significant widening in March. Throughout most of 2023, the Treasury yield curve was inverted, which brought additional uncertainty and volatility to the Treasury marketplace. 

 

Fund Strategy

 

For the first four months of the fiscal year, the Fund transitioned to a more diverse and aggressive strategy. In addition to the sectors associated with the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, it included out-of-benchmark securities in high yield and emerging market debt.*

 

Our defensive position holds a portfolio duration targeted at 8% to 10% short of the benchmark index, with an underweight allocation to the Treasury sector. Our corporate sector holds a market overweight as we closely monitor credit spreads. The Fund has a neutral weighting in agency mortgage-backed securities and, as noted above, holds an allocation to the emerging market debt and high yield sectors.*

 

If the premium received from the portfolio’s riskier assets diminishes, we will reduce their allocation until spreads normalize to where we believe the portfolio can outperform in all its sectors. *

 

Outlook

 

Tighter monetary policy remains the dominant theme in fixed income markets. The federal funds futures market, which had underpriced the Fed’s resolve in past months, now reflects a more aggressive position, reaffirming hawkish statements by Chairman Powell and other Fed governors following the Jackson Hole conference.

 

High inflation appears to be persisting for longer than anticipated due to a combination of the resilient U.S. labor market and inflationary pressures from higher food prices and wages. The situation is further amplified by loose fiscal policy evidenced by recent Congressional legislation. The Federal Open Market Committee’s tighter monetary policy of higher rates and quantitative tightening continues to raise fears of a recession in 2023, but concerns also exist regarding financial instability. As spreads in the riskier sectors continue to tighten, we may further reduce positions in emerging market debt, as we remain focused on evaluating the risk-reward equation regarding individual security selection.

Investment Risks

 

Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risks. The principal value of a bond falls when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. During periods of rising interest rates, the value of a bond investment is at greater risk than during periods of stable or falling rates. Short-term investment-grade bonds offer less risk and generally a lower rate of return than longer-term higher-yielding bonds. Bond funds will tend to experience smaller fluctuations in value than stock funds. However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of changing interest rates. High-yield bonds have a higher risk of default or other adverse credit events, but have the potential to pay higher earnings over investment-grade bonds. The higher risk of default, or the inability of the creditor to repay its debt, is the primary reason for the higher interest rates on high-yield bonds.

Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Fund Goal

 

We seek to generate current income that is exempt from federal income taxes by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal securities, with at least 65% of the Fund’s assets invested in securities that are rated within the three highest long-term or highest short-term rating categories at the time of purchase. The Fund normally maintains a dollarweighted average maturity of one day to one year.

 

 

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Ultra Short Tax-Free Fund A Shares (at NAV) returned 2.37%; the Investor Shares returned 2.37% and the Institutional Shares returned 2.63%. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-year Municipal Bond Index1, showed a total return of 1.83%.

 

Market Conditions

 

The Federal Reserve continued its aggressive fight to lower the inflation rate by raising the overnight lending rate at seven of the eight Federal Open Market Committee meetings during the period. The total increase of 300 basis points (3.0%) brought the federal funds level to the highest since 2007. The rate increases have certainly worked, as evidenced by the drop in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which saw a year-over-year decline from 8.2% to 3.7%. Although the trend is a positive development for the Fed, the level is still above its target inflation rate of 2% and the Fed has left the possibility open for another rate hike before the tightening cycle is over.

 

While the overall trend for yields in the short end of the municipal market was higher for the period given the Fed’s aggressive moves, there was an unusual amount of volatility throughout the Fund’s fiscal year. The fixed rate portion of the market saw rates rise about 100 basis points (1.0%) over the course of the period, but there were several moves of 50 basis points in both directions within a short timeframe.

 

Yields on variable rate demand notes (VRDNs) experienced even more pronounced moves during the period, as nine different months featured moves of at least 100 basis points. Over the entire year, the SIFMA index, which is an average of yields on VRDNs, rose from 1.50% to 4.06% and reached its highest sustained levels since the early 2000s.

 

The regional bank crisis in early 2023 was a highprofile news event in the financial markets, but it had very little impact on the short end of the muni market. While it led to the liquidation of longer fixed rate bonds held in the bank’s portfolios, the secondary market easily absorbed the volume.

 

Fund Strategy

 

The Fund has looked for opportunities to lock in attractive yields in fixed rate bonds, while maintaining a core position of VRDNs, as that structure shores up the liquidity for the Fund while also taking advantage of the recent environment of rising weekly resets.*

 

Outlook

 

It appears that the Federal Reserve is nearing the end of its tightening cycle, but it has maintained its stance to keep the overnight rate at an elevated level until the inflation rate reaches its 2% target rate, so the short end of the muni market should continue to mirror those levels.

Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund (Unaudited) 

 

 

Index Description

 

The performance of the Ultra Short Tax-Free Fund is measured against the Bloomberg 1-Year Municipal Bond Index, an unmanaged index that includes bonds with a minimum credit rating of BAA3, are issued as part of a deal of at least $50 million, have an amount outstanding of at least $5 million, and have maturities of 1 to 2 years. The index does not reflect the deduction of the expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these value-added services, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

Bond funds will tend to experience smaller fluctuations in value than stock funds. However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of changing interest rates. The Fund’s income may be subject to certain state and local taxes and, depending on one’s tax status, to the federal alternative minimum tax.

Opportunistic Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Fund Goal

 

We pursue positive investment returns by opportunistically investing in equities, real estate investment trusts (REITs), fixed income securities, preferred stocks, exchange traded funds (ETFs), which may include leveraged and inverse ETFs, options, commodities, and money market funds. The Fund's management team will consider all asset classes and may invest in domestic as well as international securities. The team pursues investment opportunities with the most attractive risk/return profiles.

 

 

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Opportunistic Fund’s A Shares (at NAV) returned -0.48%; the C Shares returned -1.22%; the Investor Shares returned -0.53%, and the Institutional Shares returned -0.29%. The Fund’s benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index1 and the HFRX Equity Hedge Index1, posted total returns of 15.94% and 4.10%, for the same time period.

 

Market Conditions

 

The heavily anticipated recession didn’t show up during the fiscal year, as economic data remained resilient despite the Federal Reserve’s restrictive monetary policy, effectuated through aggressive interest rate hikes and quantitative tightening. As a result, investors weren’t ready to sell equities. However, without a clear direction on the economy, they flocked to the largest stocks, concentrated in technology and communication services, which they perceived to be defensive. To demonstrate the impact of the top-heavy market leadership, the cap-weighted S&P 500 Index outperformed the equal-weighted S&P 500 by more than 700 bps (7 percentage points) during the roughly 18 months from mid-March 2022 through August 2023.

 

After two quarters of a slight decline in the U.S. gross domestic product to start 2022, the U.S. economy resumed growth at an annual pace of close to 3% for the second half of 2022 and moderated to around 2% for the first half of 2023.

 

During the Fund’s fiscal year, the core consumer price index decelerated from 6.6% in September 2022 to 4.3% in August 2023. The fiscal year-end figure of 4.7% is still at levels much higher than the Fed’s target of 2%. More recently, inflation data were bolstered by a $10 increase in West Texas Intermediate oil prices in July and August 2023, rising to $80 per barrel.

 

We expect this to keep the Fed hawkish and, as a result, maintain upward pressure on interest rates, which could bode poorly for tech stocks, real estate, and utilities.

 

For the Fund’s fiscal year, ended August 31, 2023, the S&P 500 Index had a total return of almost 16%. Among the leading sectors were information technology (+33%) and communication services (+26%). The weakest-performing sectors were utilities (-12.7%) and real estate (-8%).

 

Large-cap and mega-cap stocks were both up more than 14%. In contrast, small caps were up only 3% over the same period. Growth easily outperformed value stocks as the Russell 1000 Growth Index outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index by more than 1300 basis points (13 percentage points).

 

Fund Strategy

 

We believe attractive investment opportunities often arise where Wall Street research is lacking. We use bottom-up research to identify opportunities and we adjust the Fund’s level of exposure to risk assets accordingly, which can lead to fluctuations of the Fund’s net risk exposure over time.*

 

We may use ETFs to hedge the Fund’s long positions, and we may use options on indices or ETFs to hedge a portion of the portfolio. When opportunities are scarce, we also may raise cash to lower our net market exposure. We track and modulate the Fund’s stock market exposure based on our view of market conditions and investment opportunities.*

 

Given our increasing concerns about the economy, and our view of there being more attractive opportunities in other asset classes, the Fund’s equity exposure was meaningfully reduced for the final eight months of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023.*

 

Outlook

 

The effects of monetary policy have a long and variable lag. The pace at which the Fed increased interest rates over the past 18 months is the fastest and most severe in several decades. As such, we are deeply concerned about the negative impact that could have on U.S. economic growth and the labor market. We retain a cautious view with regard to equity markets from here.

Opportunistic Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Index Description

 

The performance of the Opportunistic Fund is measured against the S&P 500 Index and the HFRX Equity Hedge Index. The S&P 500 is regarded as a gauge of the U.S. equities market, this index includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. Although the S&P 500 focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with approximately 75% coverage of U.S. equities, it is also an ideal proxy for the total market. The Hedge Fund Research, Inc. (HFR) utilizes a UCITSIII compliant methodology to construct the HFRX Hedge Fund Indices. The methodology is based on defined and predetermined rules and objective criteria to select and rebalance components to maximize representation of the Hedge Fund Universe. HFRX Indices utilize state-of-the-art quantitative techniques and analysis; multi-level screening, cluster analysis, Monte-Carlo simulations and optimization techniques ensure that each Index is a pure representation of its corresponding investment focus. These indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these services, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

Investment Risks

 

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. Investments in the Fund are subject to the risks related to direct investment in real estate, such as real estate risk, regulatory risks, concentration risk, and diversification risk. Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risks. The principal value of a bond falls when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. During periods of rising interest rates, the value of a bond investment is at greater risk than during periods of stable or falling rates. International investing involves increased risk and volatility. Mid- and small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic developments. The ETFs in which the Funds invest are subject to the risks applicable to the types of securities and investments used by the ETFs. Because an ETF charges its own fees and expenses, Fund shareholders will indirectly bear these costs. The use of leverage in an ETF can magnify any price movements, resulting in high volatility. An inverse ETF seeks to provide returns that are the opposite of the underlying referenced financial asset, index, or commodity’s returns. Exposure to commodities may subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities.

 

For a complete description of these and other risks associated with investing in a mutual fund, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus.

Class C Shares performance reflects the Fund’s no-Load Investor class (“Investor Shares”) for periods prior to December 31, 2014. Unlike Investor Shares, which bear a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%, C Shares bear a 12b-1 fee of 1.00%. This difference is reflected in the performance information. Accordingly, had the C Shares of the Fund been offered for periods prior to December 31, 2014, the performance information would have been different as a result of differing annual operating expenses.

World Energy Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Fund Goal

 

We seek to provide growth and income by primarily investing net assets in a wide range of energy-related financial instruments issued in the U.S. and markets around the world.

 

Fund Performance

 

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the World Energy Fund’s A Shares (at NAV) posted a total return of 10.77%; the C Shares returned 9.93%; the Investor Shares returned 10.72% and the Institutional Shares posted a total return of 11.02%.The Fund’s benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index1 and the MSCI World Energy Index1 returned 15.94% and 13.96%, respectively.

 

Oil Market Backdrop

 

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine coupled with the ending of global COVID restrictions created significant volatility in energy markets. Immediately following the February 2022 invasion, investors were concerned with the availability of Russian natural gas and oil exports. Russia is a top-three global oil producer, producing more than 11 million barrels of oil daily. In addition, prior to the invasion, Russia was the primary source of European natural gas.

 

As a result, in the first half of calendar 2022, oil prices were above $100 for months. However, during the first half of the Fund’s fiscal year, which began in September 2022, as Russian oil continued to reach the market, oil prices traded lower. Brent crude began the year at $96 and traded as low as $70 a barrel in March 2023. After bottoming in March, oil prices rose as China’s recovery led to increased oil demand, resulting in prices at $86 per barrel at fiscal year end.

 

Natural gas had even more volatility as shortages in Europe caused natural gas prices to spike, particularly for liquefied natural gas. However, global natural gas prices plummeted in response to Europe’s unusually warm winter.

 

Despite global economic expansion, energy prices ended the year lower in most markets. Brent opened the fiscal year at $96 per barrel and closed the period down about $10. U.S. natural gas prices fell from $9 per mcf in September 2022 to below $2.80/mcf by August 2023.

 

Fund Strategy

 

First, we lowered our exposure to alternative energy in favor of fossil fuel-related companies. Where we began the year with positions in wind, solar, and hydrogen, most of our alternative investments are now focused on nuclear power, with limited exposure to wind and solar.*

 

During the fiscal year, we decreased our substantial overweight to U.S. exploration and production (E&P) companies in favor of international major oil companies and offshore oilfield service stocks. We continue to believe the U.S. E&P companies are focused on returns rather than production growth. As a result, with global demand growing, we believe offshore oil is going to be increasingly necessary to meet global demand. While we reduced our exposure to international major oil companies during the fiscal year, we added materially to our allocation to offshore oil services.*

 

At year end, we are positioned with a focus on U.S. E&Ps that have substantial international opportunities as well as offshore drilling and service companies.*

 

Fossil fuel stocks performed well. We had the best returns from our oil field service investments as well as our offshore drilling stocks. We had strong returns from our international major oil companies and solid returns from our investments in refining.*

 

The Fund’s weakest performance came from our midstream/pipeline assets as rising interest rates dampened valuation for these cash-flow-focused firms. In addition, wind/solar/hydrogen assets performed poorly after those stocks began the year at elevated valuations. As noted above, we reduced our exposure to alternative energy, and replaced some of it with a focus on nuclear power assets, which performed well. Fixed income securities were also a drag on overall performance as rising rates dampened bond prices.*

 

Outlook

 

Europe appears to be approaching a recession, and global growth is slowing as China’s economic activity has fallen short of expectations. However, we believe stimulus in China is likely, and continued U.S. economic growth should be a positive for energy markets.

 

We have a favorable view toward offshore energy as well as nuclear power. We also see great opportunities in U.S. companies that have significant discoveries offshore, particularly off the east coast of South America.

 

The greatest uncertainty is over Chinese demand. If China’s economy accelerates, it will be positive for energy companies. But if China’s economy continues to slip, that could be a headwind. On the supply side, for fossil fuels, uncertainty around the Ukraine-Russia war as well as the continued willingness of OPEC+ to support oil prices with voluntary supply cuts remains a risk (if they no longer cut supply). However, we are optimistic and see opportunities in global energy markets for the long term.

World Energy Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Index Description

 

The World Energy Fund performance is measured against the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World Energy Index. The S&P 500 Index is regarded as a gauge of the U.S. equities market; this index includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. Although the S&P 500 focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with approximately 75% coverage of U.S. equities, it is also an ideal proxy for the total market. The MSCI World Energy Index captures the large- and mid-cap segments across 23 developed markets and includes securities classified in the energy sector per Global Industry Classification Standard. These indexes are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these services, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

Investment Risks

 

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in below investment-grade fixed income securities. Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risks. The principal value of a bond falls when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. During periods of rising interest rates, the value of a bond investment is at greater risk than during periods of stable or falling rates. The Fund invests in foreign and emerging market securities, which involves certain risks such as currency volatility, political and social instability, and reduced market liquidity. Mid- and small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic developments. Concentration in energy-related industry securities may present more risks than would be the case with funds that diversify investments in numerous industries and sectors of the economy. A downturn in the energy sectors would have a larger impact on the Fund than on a fund that does not concentrate in these industries. Energy sector securities can be significantly affected by events related to political developments, energy conservation, commodity prices, and tax and government regulations. The performance of securities in the Fund may, at times, lag the performance of companies in other sectors or the broader market as a whole. Emerging market investing may be subject to additional economic, political, liquidity, and currency risks not associated with more developed countries.

Hedged Income Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Fund Goal

 

We seek current income with the potential for long-term capital appreciation with less volatility than the broad equity market. The Fund invests primarily in dividend-paying equity securities and it will also seek to generate income through option premiums by writing (selling) call options. The Fund will buy index and ETF put options in order to seek to reduce volatility and provide downside market protection.

 

 

For the year ended August 31, 2023, the Hedged Income Fund’s A Shares (at NAV) returned 6.71%; the Fund’s Investor Shares returned 6.61%, and the Fund’s Institutional Shares posted a total return of 6.92%. The Fund’s benchmark the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index1 and S&P 500 Index1 returned 10.04% and 15.94%, respectively, during the same period.

 

Market Conditions

 

The heavily anticipated recession didn’t show up during the fiscal year, as economic data remained resilient despite the Federal Reserve’s restrictive monetary policy, effectuated through aggressive interest rate hikes and quantitative tightening. As a result, investors weren’t ready to sell equities. However, without a clear direction on the economy, they flocked to the largest stocks, concentrated in technology and communication services, which they perceived to be defensive. To demonstrate the impact of the top-heavy market leadership, the cap-weighted S&P 500 Index outperformed the equal-weighted S&P 500 by more than 700 bps (7 percentage points) during the roughly 18 months from mid-March 2022 through August 2023.

 

After two quarters of a slight decline in the U.S. gross domestic product to start 2022, the U.S. economy resumed growth at an annual pace of close to 3% for the second half of 2022 and moderated to around 2% for the first half of 2023.

 

During the Fund’s fiscal year, the core consumer price index decelerated from 6.6% in September 2022 to 4.3% in August 2023. The fiscal year-end figure of 4.7% is still at levels much higher than the Fed’s target of 2%. More recently, inflation data were bolstered by a $10 increase in West Texas Intermediate oil prices in July and August 2023, rising to $80 per barrel.

 

We expect this to keep the Fed hawkish and, as a result, maintain upward pressure on interest rates, which could bode poorly for tech stocks, real estate, and utilities.

 

For the Fund’s fiscal year, ended August 31, 2023, the S&P 500 Index had a total return of almost 16%. Among the leading sectors were information technology (+33%) and communication services (+26%). The weakest-performing sectors were utilities (-12.7%) and real estate (-8%).

 

Large-cap and mega-cap stocks were both up more than 14%. In contrast, small caps were up only 3% over the same period. Growth easily outperformed value stocks as the Russell 1000 Growth Index outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index by more than 1300 basis points (13 percentage points).

 

Fund Strategy

 

The Fund seeks to provide income in the form of dividends and covered call writing on the portfolio’s stock positions. Additionally, the Fund seeks to limit downside volatility with protective puts on broad market indexes. The Fund targets companies that have consistent and sustainable dividends, a strong track record of and future ability to increase the dividend, a proven history of predictable cash flows that increase over time, and barriers to competition.*

 

The Fed remains committed to fighting inflation at the cost of slowing the economy, even at the risk of entering a recession. We remain concerned that consensus outlooks for economic growth and earnings estimates are too high given these circumstances. As such, we continue to position the Fund for the late portion of the economic cycle via lower exposure to cyclical and high-beta (more-volatile) stocks.*

 

Outlook

 

The effects of monetary policy have a long and variable lag. The pace at which the Fed increased interest rates over the past 18 months is the fastest and most severe in several decades. As such, we are deeply concerned about the negative impact that could have on U.S. economic growth and the labor market. We retain a cautious view with regard to equity markets from here.

Hedged Income Fund (Unaudited)

 

 

Index Description

 

The CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index is designed to show the hypothetical performance of a portfolio that engages in a buy-write strategy using S&P 500 Index call options. The S&P 500 Index is regarded as a gauge of the U.S. equities market, this index includes 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. Although the S&P 500 focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with approximately 75% coverage of U.S. equities, it is also an ideal proxy for the total market. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for these services, but does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

 

Investment Risks

 

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in below investment-grade fixed income securities. Fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risks. The principal value of a bond falls when interest rates rise and rise when interest rates fall. Mid- and small-cap companies may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic developments. Although intended to limit or reduce investment risk, hedging strategies may also limit or reduce the potential for profit. There is no assurance that hedging strategies will be successful. Investing in derivative instruments involves risks that may be different from or greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other traditional investments. By writing covered call options, a fund will not benefit from any potential increases in the value of a fund asset above the exercise price, but will bear the risk of declines in the value of the asset. Writing call options may expose a fund to additional costs. Writing of covered call options are also subject to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its obligations. When the Fund purchases a put option on a security or index it may lose the entire premium paid if the underlying security or index does not decrease in value. The Fund is also exposed to default by the put writer who may be unwilling or unable to perform its contractual obligations to the Fund. The Fund’s investment in dividend-paying stocks could cause the fund to underperform similar funds that invest without consideration of a company’s track record of paying dividends. Stock of companies with a history of paying dividends may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as most other stocks.

Notes to the Financial Statements

August 31, 2023

 

 

1.Organization:

 

The Cavanal Hill Funds (the “Trust”) was organized on October 1, 1987, as a Massachusetts business trust, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end investment company. The Trust meets the definition of an investment company and follows the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services - Investment Companies”. As of August 31, 2023, the Trust offered shares of U.S. Treasury Fund and Government Securities Money Market Fund (each referred to as a “Money Market Fund” and collectively, the “Money Market Funds”), Limited Duration Fund, Moderate Duration Fund, Bond Fund, Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund, Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund, Opportunistic Fund, World Energy Fund, and Hedged Income Fund (each referred to as a “Fund” and collectively, “the Funds”). Each Fund is registered as a diversified portfolio of the Trust, with the exception of the Hedged Income Fund, which is non-diversified. The Limited Duration Fund, Moderate Duration Fund, Bond Fund, Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund, Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund, Opportunistic Fund, World Energy Fund, and Hedged Income Fund are each authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares in three classes of shares: No-Load Investor Shares (the “Investor Shares”), Institutional Shares, and A Shares. The Opportunistic Fund and World Energy Fund are also authorized to issue an unlimited number of C Shares. The Money Market Funds are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares in the following classes: Administrative Shares, Institutional Shares, and Select Shares. In addition, the Government Securities Money Market Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Premier Shares. Each class of shares for each of the Funds has identical rights and privileges except with respect to distribution (Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act) and shareholder servicing fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privileges of each class of shares.

 

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.

 

2.Significant Accounting Policies:

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value Measurements:

 

The Trust has a three-tier fair value hierarchy that is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:’

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
   
Level 2 – other observable significant inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
   
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under the 1940 Act. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

When determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments, additional consideration is given to those assets or liabilities that have experienced a significant decrease in the volume or level of activity or to circumstances that indicate that a transaction is not orderly. In cases where market prices for portfolio securities are not readily available or where prices provided by pricing services are believed not to reflect current value, a Pricing Committee established by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) determines in good faith, subject to Trust procedures, the fair value of such portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Examples of the types of securities that may be fair valued include securities halted or suspended from trading, thinly traded or illiquid securities, high-yield securities and fixed-income securities held in amounts less than their normal unit of trading.

 

The following is a summary categorization, as of August 31, 2023, of each Fund’s investments in the fair value hierarchy:

Notes to the Financial Statements

August 31, 2023

 

 

Securities Valuation:

 

The Money Market Funds, which operate as government funds, are eligible and have elected to use the amortized cost method of valuation pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This involves valuing an instrument at its cost initially and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the instrument. This method may result in periods during which value, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price each Money Market Fund would receive if it sold the investment. The value of securities in the Money Market Funds can be expected to vary inversely with changes in prevailing interest rates.

 

The following is an overview of how securities are valued in the Limited Duration Fund, Moderate Duration Fund, Bond Fund, Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund, Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund, Opportunistic Fund, World Energy Fund, and Hedged Income Fund (the “Variable Net Asset Value Funds”).

 

Equity securities are valued at the closing price on the exchange or market where the security is principally traded (except for those traded on Nasdaq, which will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price). If there have been no sales for the day on any exchange or market, the security is valued at the latest available bid price on the exchange or market where the security is principally traded. Equity securities are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Fixed-income securities are valued using matrix pricing as determined by an independent pricing service approved by the Board. Fixed-income securities are valued using various inputs including new issue data, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, reference data and industry and market events, and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. In addition to the inputs noted for fixed-income securities, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are valued using principal payment and collateral performance information, and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Short-term fixed-income securities purchased with 60 days or fewer to maturity and of sufficient credit quality are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates current value, and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Open-end mutual fund investments and exchange-traded funds are valued at the most recently calculated net asset value, and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Repurchase agreements are valued at original cost, and are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Options are generally valued at the average of the closing bid and ask quotations on the principal exchange on which the option is traded, which are then typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. For options where market quotations are not readily available, fair value procedures as described below may be applied.

 

Other assets and securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting on the behalf of the Trustees. Fair value pricing may be used for significant events such as securities whose trading has been suspended, whose price has become stale or for which there is no currently available price at the close of the exchange. Depending on the source and relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Securities Sold Short:

 

The Funds may enter into short sales. Short sales are transactions in which a fund sells a security it does not own. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund.

 

Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to any dividends that accrue during the period of the loan. Dividends declared on open short positions are recorded on ex-date as dividend expense. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a fee, which is shown as interest expense. The Fund records a liability for securities sold short and records an asset equal to the proceeds received. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to market to reflect the market value of the securities sold short. The proceeds of the short sale may be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet the margin requirements, until the short position is closed. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, is recognized upon the close of a short sale.

 

None of the Funds shall sell securities short (unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short or has segregated with the Custodian an amount of cash or liquid assets to cover the short position), however, this policy does not prevent the Funds from entering into short positions in foreign currency, futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars and other financial instruments.

 

The Funds did not engage in short sales during the year ending August 31, 2023.

 

Options Contracts:

 

Each of the Funds, except U.S. Treasury Fund and the Government Securities Money Market Fund, may write (sell) covered call options and purchase options to hedge (or reduce) its exposure to a portfolio asset or risk, to obtain leverage for the portfolio, to manage cash and/or as a substitute for taking a position in the reference asset or to gain exposure to certain asset classes. An option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and a writer has the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option, regardless of the market price of the security. The premium paid to the writer is consideration for undertaking the obligations under the option contract. Options purchased by the Fund will be valued at the last sale price, or in the absence of such a price, at the latest available bid price. The Funds may also purchase index options. Index options (or options on securities indices) are similar in many respects to options on securities, except that an index option gives the holder the right to receive, upon exercise, cash instead of securities, if the closing value of the securities index upon which the option is based is greater than the exercise price of the option.

Notes to the Financial Statements

August 31, 2023

 

 

Purchasing options is a specialized investment technique that entails the possibility of a complete loss of the amounts paid as premiums to writers of options. The Funds can purchase options and index options provided that their total investment in such options immediately after such purchase does not exceed 5% of its total assets.

 

The Hedged Income Fund engaged in purchased and written options activity during the period ending August 31, 2023 detailed below.

 

Purchased Options Contracts—The Fund pays a premium which is included in “Investments, at value” on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and marked to market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. When a put option is exercised or closed, premiums paid for purchasing options are offset against proceeds to determine the realized gain/loss on the transaction. The Fund bears the risk of loss of the premium and change in value should the counterparty not perform under the contract.

 

Written Options Contracts—The Fund receives a premium which is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options that are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. The risk associated with writing an option is that the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of an underlying asset and is required to buy or sell an underlying asset under the contractual terms of the option at a price different from the current value. For the year ended August 31, 2023, the monthly average notional amount for written options contracts was $(244) thousand. Realized gains and losses are reported as “Net realized gains/(losses) from written options contracts” on the Statements of Operations.

Security Transactions and Related Income:

 

For all purposes other than financial reporting, security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium and accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or for certain foreign dividends, when the Funds become aware of such dividends declared. Gains or losses realized from sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date.

 

Real Estate Investment Trusts:

 

Some of the Variable Net Asset Value Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Certain distributions received from REITs during the year, which are known to be a return of capital, are recorded as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT. A REIT may focus on particular types of projects, such as apartment complexes or shopping centers, or on particular geographic regions, or both. An investment in a REIT may be subject to certain risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including: declines in the value of real estate; risks related to general and local economic conditions, overbuilding and competition; increases in property taxes and operating expenses; and variations in rental income.

 

Restricted Securities:

 

A restricted security is a security that has been purchased through a private offering and cannot be resold to the general public without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) or pursuant to the resale limitations provided by Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. Whether a restricted security is illiquid is determined pursuant to guidelines established by the Board. Not all restricted securities are considered illiquid. The illiquid, restricted securities held as of August 31, 2023 are identified below:

 

Security   Acquisition Date   Acquisition  Cost     Principal Amount     Fair
Value
 
Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund:

Repurchase Agreements:

 

The Funds may invest in repurchase agreements with financial institutions such as member banks of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or from registered broker/dealers that Cavanal Hill Investment Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying securities collateral. The seller under a repurchase agreement is required to maintain the value of collateral held pursuant to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Securities subject to repurchase agreements are held by each Fund’s custodian, another qualified sub-custodian, or in the Federal Reserve book-entry system. Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) permit the Fund, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset receivables under the MRA with collateral posted by the counterparty and create one net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund would recognize a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty.

 

Distributions to Shareholders:

 

Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the Money Market Funds, Limited Duration Fund, Moderate Duration Fund, Bond Fund, Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund and Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for the Opportunistic Fund, World Energy Fund, and Hedged Income Fund. Net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.

 

The character of income and gains distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/ tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent that these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., reclassification of bond discount and premium, gain/loss on principal payments from mortgage-backed securities, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment. Temporary differences do not require reclassification (e.g., wash sales). To the extent that distributions from net investment income and net realized gains exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital.

 

Allocations:

 

Expenses that directly relate to a specific Fund are charged directly to that Fund. Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Other operating expenses of the Funds are prorated to each Fund on the basis of relative net assets or another appropriate method. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific share class), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets or another appropriate basis.

Under a Sub-Administration Agreement, the Administrator pays Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“Citi”) to perform certain administrative duties for the Trust. Fees paid to Citi by the Administrator for sub-administration services are paid out of its administration fees and are not an additional charge to the Funds. For the year ending August 31, 2023, Citi was paid $739,844 by the Administrator. Citi serves the Trust as fund accountant and makes an employee available to serve as the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”). Citi receives additional fees for its services as fund accountant and CCO which are paid by the Funds.

Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with Citi, the Adviser, the distributor (see below) and/or BOKF. These persons are paid no fees directly by the Trust for serving as officers of the Trust.

 

Cavanal Hill Distributors, Inc. (“CHD”), an affiliate of the Adviser, provides distribution services to the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Trust and CHD. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, pursuant to which the Funds are authorized to pay or reimburse CHD a periodic amount, calculated at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of the Administrative, Investor, Service and A Shares, 0.50% of the Premier Shares, and 1.00% of the C Shares, and may be used by CHD to pay banks, including BOKF, broker dealers and other institutions. For the year ending August 31, 2023, BOKF received $3,736,317 under the agreement. CHD contractually agreed to waive 0.15% of such fee paid by the Service Shares through its termination date on August 1, 2023 and 0.45% of such fee paid by the Premier Shares and 0.13% of such fee paid by the Administrative Shares of the Government Securities Money Market Fund through June 30, 2023 and the waivers were eliminated on July 1, 2023.

 

The Funds have entered into shareholder servicing agreements with BOKF, a broker-dealer affiliate and various service organizations. Services included in the servicing agreements are assisting in processing purchase, exchange and redemption requests; transmitting and receiving funds in connection with customer orders to purchase, exchange or redeem shares; and providing periodic statements. Shareholder servicing fees are incurred on a class level basis (where applicable). In consideration for these services, the service organizations received a fee from the Funds, computed daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate up to 0.25% for the Administrative, Institutional, Investor, Select, Service, Premier and C Shares and up to 0.10% for the A Shares of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ shares held by the service organizations’ customers.

For shareholder purchases made through BOKF, BOKF has contractually agreed to waive 0.25%, 0.15%, 0.17% and 0.25% of such fees paid by the Select, Service, Institutional and Premier Shares, respectively, of the Money Market Funds and 0.25%, 0.25%, 0.10% and 0.25% of such fees paid by the Institutional, Investor, A, and C Shares, respectively, of the Variable Net Asset Value Funds through December 31, 2023. The affiliate waivers result in reduction of the Shareholder Servicing Fee paid by all affiliated purchasers of a class.

 

From time to time, the Funds’ service providers may provide fee reductions and waivers in order to assist one or more of the Funds in maintaining more competitive expense ratios. Such reductions may be contractual, as disclosed in the Funds’ statutory prospectus, or voluntary and, as such, may occur on an ad hoc basis. No such reductions are subject to recoupment in subsequent fiscal periods, and voluntary reductions and waivers may be terminated at any time. Amounts reduced or waived under these arrangements are identified on the accompanying Statements of Operations.

Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund   5,660,878    5,561,462 
Opportunistic Fund   6,761,328    6,672,422 

 

5.Credit Risk and Other Risk Considerations:

 

The Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund invests primarily in debt instruments of municipal issuers. The issuers’ ability to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, sector or locale.

 

The Limited Duration Fund, Moderate Duration Fund, Bond Fund and Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund are each invested in mortgage-related, fixed-income instruments. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to prepayment risk and credit risk of mortgagors and may be sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed-income securities generally declines.

 

The World Energy Fund’s concentration in securities in energy-related industries may present more risks than would be the case with funds that diversify investments in numerous industries and sectors of the economy. Energy-related securities can be significantly affected by world events relating to political developments, energy conservation, commodity prices, and tax and government regulations. The Fund is also subject to foreign investment risk which is associated with higher transaction costs, delayed settlements, currency controls or adverse economic and political developments. Foreign securities may be affected by incomplete or inaccurate financial information on companies. There is a risk of loss attributable to social upheavals, unfavorable governmental or political actions, seizure of foreign deposits, changes in tax or trade statutes, and governmental collapse and war. These risks are more significant in emerging markets.

 

Hedged Income Fund invests primarily in dividend paying equity securities, with at least 80% of its net assets in income generating equity securities and equity- related instruments traded on U.S. exchanges. The Fund is subject to market risk in which market value of a security may move up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. The Fund also invests in call and put options that involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities, including leverage risk, tracking risk and counterparty default risk. The risk of potential losses if equity markets or an individual equity security do not move as expected and the potential for greater losses than if these techniques had not been used. By writing covered call options, a fund will not benefit from any potential increases in the value of a fund asset above the exercise price, but will bear the risk of declines in the value of the asset. As the seller (writer) of a call option, the Fund will tend to lose money if the value of the reference index or security rises above the strike price. As the buyer of a put option, the Fund risks losing the entire premium invested if the value of the reference index or security is above the put strike at maturity. Writing of covered call options are also subject to the risk that the counterparty to the transaction will not fulfill its obligations.

 

London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) Risk: Certain investments held by the Funds may pay or receive interest at floating rates based on LIBOR. The United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority has announced that it will stop compelling banks to submit rates for many LIBOR settings after December 31, 2021, and for certain other commonly-used U.S. dollar LIBOR settings after June 30, 2023. The transition away from LIBOR could result in increased volatility and uncertainty in markets tied to LIBOR. The elimination of LIBOR may adversely affect the market for, or value of, specific securities or payments linked to LIBOR rates, the availability or terms of borrowing or refinancing, or the effectiveness of hedging strategies. To the extent that the Fund’s investments have maturities which extend beyond 2023, the applicable interest rates might be subject to change if there is a transition from the LIBOR reference rate. These risks may also apply with respect to changes in connection with other interbank offering rates (e.g., SOFR) and a wide range of other index levels, rates and values that are treated as “benchmarks” and are the subject of recent regulatory reform.

 

6.Federal Income Taxes:

 

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes are required in the financial statements.

Notes to the Financial Statements

August 31, 2023

 

 

Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends and any interim tax period since then, as applicable). Management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions that would require the Funds to record a tax liability and, therefore, there is no impact to the Funds’ financial statements.

 

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on dividends and realized capital gains. The Funds accrue such taxes, as applicable, based on their current interpretation of tax rules in the foreign markets in which they invest.

 

At August 31, 2023, the cost basis of securities including derivatives for federal income tax purposes, gross unrealized appreciation, gross unrealized depreciation and net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) were as follows:

  * See below for post-October losses and capital loss carryforwards.
  ** The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to tax deferral of losses on wash sale, straddles, and the difference between book and tax amortization methods for premium and market discounts.

 

At August 31, 2023, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards as summarized in the tables below. The Board does not intend to authorize a distribution of any realized gain for the Funds until any applicable CLCF has been offset.

 

Capital loss carryforwards not subject to expiration:

 

   Short-Term   Long-Term     
Fund  Amount   Amount   Total 
U.S. Treasury  Fund  $(2,140)  $   $(2,140)
Government Securities Money  Market  Fund   (6,707)       (6,707)
Limited Duration Fund   (843,364)   (5,531,167)   (6,374,531)
Moderate Duration Fund   (1,275,254)   (5,370,244)   (6,645,498)
Bond Fund   (4,634,832)   (5,665,117)   (10,299,949)
Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund   (941,005)   (1,684,129)   (2,625,134)
Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund   (332)   (422)   (754)
Opportunistic Fund   (9,494,701)       (9,494,701)
World Energy Fund   (14,518,661)       (14,518,661)
Hedged Income Fund   (2,614,822)   (370,879)   (2,985,701)

 

To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains that are offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

 

7.Recent Regulatory Pronouncements:

 

Effective January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments that require open-end management investment companies to transmit concise and visually engaging annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will no longer appear in a tailored shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semi-annual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. Management is currently evaluating the effect of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Funds.

 

8.Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The main objective of the new guidance is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit LIBOR quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The new guidance allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts is a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, FASB deferred ASU 2020-04 and issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform: Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the application of the amendments through December 31, 2024. Management has not yet elected to apply the amendments, is continuously evaluating the potential effect a discontinuation of LIBOR could have on the Funds’ investments and has currently determined that it is unlikely the ASU’s adoption will have significant impact on the Funds’ financial statements and various filings.

Notes to the Financial Statements
August 31, 2023

 

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Funds are currently evaluating the impact, if any, of these amendments on the financial statements.

 

9.Subsequent Events:

 

On October 13, 2023, the Board of Trustees of the Funds approved a plan to liquidate and terminate the Opportunistic Fund. The liquidation date is anticipated to be on or around December 14, 2023.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees

Cavanal Hill Funds:

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Funds listed in the Appendix (collectively, the Funds), including the schedules of portfolio investments, as of August 31, 2023, the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for the years or periods listed in the Appendix. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of August 31, 2023, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods listed in the Appendix, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the

U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2023, by correspondence with custodians and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Emphasis of Matter

 

As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, the Board of Trustees of the Opportunistic Fund approved a plan of liquidation on October 13, 2023. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

 

We have served as the auditor of one or more Cavanal Hill Funds investment companies since 1990.

REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS’ ADVISORY AGREEMENT

 

The Trust’s investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Cavanal Hill Investment Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) was formally considered and approved by the Board of Trustees at a meeting held on July 28, 2023. The Trustees reviewed extensive material throughout the year in connection with their consideration of the Advisory Agreement. In connection with such approval, the Trustees, reviewed data produced by an independent provider of mutual fund data (as assembled by the Funds’ sub-administrator) which provided comparisons to industry averages for comparable funds for advisory fees and total fund expenses. The information provided to the Trustees at the meeting also included a report from an independent evaluator of brokerage practices and best execution. The Board was assisted in its review by independent legal counsel, as well as Counsel to the Funds, which provided a memorandum detailing the legal standards for review of the Advisory Agreement. The Board received a detailed presentation by the Adviser, which included a fund-by-fund analysis of performance and profitability. The Board also deliberated outside the presence of management and the Adviser.

 

In their deliberations, each Trustee attributed different weights to various factors involved in an analysis of whether the Investment Advisory Agreement should be amended and continued, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees, including a majority of independent Trustees, determined that the overall arrangement between the Trust and the Adviser, as provided in the Advisory Agreement, was fair and reasonable and that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

 

The matters addressed below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions:

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser

 

The Trustees received and considered information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees took into account information furnished throughout the year at Board meetings, as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. The Adviser’s senior management and portfolio managers presented information to the Trustees at Board meetings and discussed the Funds’ performance and the Funds’ investment objectives, strategies and outlook. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of investment personnel of the Adviser responsible for the day-to-day management of each Fund. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s research and portfolio management capabilities, oversight of day-to-day Fund operations, including fund accounting and administration, shareholder communications, regulatory and other reporting, and assistance in meeting legal and regulatory requirements. Materials provided throughout the year covered matters such as compliance of portfolio managers and other management personnel with the code of ethics and the adherence to fair pricing procedures. Consideration was given to the overall performance of the Adviser in light of the economy. The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services under the Advisory Agreement were appropriate and consistent with industry norms.

 

Investment Performance

 

Investment performance reports and related financial information for the Funds were discussed throughout the year and were presented in association with the renewal. The Trustees considered performance results of each Fund in absolute terms and relative to each Fund’s peer group as reported by Lipper. One, three, five and ten-year performance data was presented. The Trustees discussed with the Adviser the performance goals and the actual results achieved in managing the Funds as well as the effect of market conditions on the Funds.

 

The Cavanal Hill Government Securities Money Market Fund ended the period at $2,590,628,279.50, up 16% from a year earlier; the Cavanal Hill US Treasury Fund totaled $1,682,310,695.35, up 79%. Lipper peer group rankings for the Cavanal Hill Government Securities Money Market Fund were as follows: Administrative Class, 61; Institutional Class, 42; Premier Class, 38; Select Class, 27. Peer rakings for the Cavanal Hill US Treasury Fund were as follows: Administrative Class, 90; Institutional Class, 53; Select Class, 32; and Service Class, 70.

 

The Limited Duration Fund Institutional share class was in the 69th percentile in its peer group for the one-year period. The relatively conservative positioning of the fund was mildly positive for the fund. However, the duration was slightly longer than peers, hurting performance in a rising rate environment. The Moderate Duration Fund Institutional share class was in the 64th percentile in its peer group for the one year period. The fund's duration, by design, is at the very high end of its peer group. This was the main reason for underperformance during the past year. The Bond Fund Institutional share class was in the 25th percentile for the one-year period. The fund was conservatively positioned, which was beneficial to the fund as credit weakened through much of the period. A duration in line with peers did not have a significant effect on performance. The Strategic Enhanced Yield Fund Institutional share class was in the 83rd percentile for the one-year period. The portfolio experienced significant return swings during January and February, and the March to May period continued slightly smoother. The Ultra Short Tax-Free Income Fund was in the 17th percentile (23/136) of the Lipper Short Municipal Fund group for the year. The Fund's outperformance was due to the short duration; the investment mix of variable rate demand notes (VRDNs) and fixed rate paper positively impacted performance, as rates in the short end of the muni market rose throughout the period.

 

The Opportunistic Fund (institutional shares) underperformed its Lipper peer group for the one-year period ended May 31, 2023 (92nd percentile). Material underperformance during the first seven months of this period was due to high overall equity exposure relative to peers. Underperformance during the final five months of the period was less drastic as the Fund’s asset allocation was likely more similar to that of its peers. The Fund remains in the top quintile of its Lipper peer group for the 10-year period as of May 31, 2023. As of May 31, 2023, the Institutional class shares of the World Energy Fund had a Morningstar percentile ranking of 55th for the one-year period. Note that Lipper does not have an Energy category, so we compare Fund performance to the Morningstar Energy category. As of May 31, 2023, the fund was a 4-star Morningstar fund. The Mid Cap Diverse Leadership Fund’s under-performance is relative to the Mid Cap Core Lipper peer group. Volatile, high-growth, mega-cap stocks produced some of the highest returns over the one-year period ended May 31, 2023 due to a narrowing market, a robust economy, and indications that the Federal Reserve was nearing the end of the current interest rate hiking cycle. Technology and Consumer Discretionary names that were sold-off in early 2022 also had a resurgence in 2023. The fund was positioned in, generally speaking, higher quality, less volatile stocks compared to the Lipper peer group where many peers have greater exposure to mega-cap tech and higher growth stocks. The fund’s more balanced approach and lack of megacap stocks during this period detracted slightly from performance, especially in Q3 2022. The institutional share class ranks at the 34th percentile for the 1-year period. As of May 31, 2023, the fund was a 4-star Morningstar fund.

The Hedged Income Fund performance is equally reflective of both Lavaca and Cavanal Hill Investment Management. The Funds trailing 1-year return as of 5/31/23 was -2.8%, which compared to a benchmark return (CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Monthly Index) of 3.6%. The Fund’s cyclical bias, lack of ownership of the five largest stocks, and protective puts (relative to the benchmark which does not own any), all detracted from performance over the full time period. This unfavorable performance comparison is to be expected given the fast-rising rally in equity markets YTD which was driven by a very small number of individual stocks. During the period covered calls generated a yield of 3.9%, more than fully offsetting the annualized cost of the protective puts (2.8%). Additionally, the options successfully dampened daily volatility, reducing the standard deviation of daily returns from 0.79% to 0.64% when comparing the Fund to its benchmark. For the first eight months of the period from 6/1/22 through 1/31/23, the Fund outperformed its benchmark. Over the years, the Funds have received numerous Lipper Fund Awards in recognition of outstanding performance. Based on their review, and in light of market conditions, the Trustees were satisfied that the performance of each of the Funds was within an acceptable range.

 

Cost of Services and Profits Realized by Cavanal Hill Investment Management, Inc. and its Affiliates

 

The Trustees also considered peer group comparable information with respect to the investment advisory fees charged by the Adviser to each of the Funds. Information on voluntary fee waivers was presented and considered. The Trustees reviewed administration, custody and distributor fees received, respectively, by the Adviser and its affiliates, BOKF, NA and Cavanal Hill Distributors, Inc. and selling agreement fees earned by BOKF, NA and BOKFS, Inc. The Trustees also considered the fallout benefits to the Adviser of soft dollars based on presentations to the Board. The Trustees also reviewed profitability information provided by the Adviser with respect to investment advisory, administration, distribution and custody services to each Fund. The Trustees recognized that the data presented was not audited and represents the Adviser’s determination of its and its affiliates’ revenues from the contractual services provided to the Funds, less expenses of providing such services. Expenses include direct and indirect costs and were calculated using an allocation methodology developed by the Adviser. In reviewing the analysis, attention was given to the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Funds, it being recognized that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective and various allocation methodologies may each be reasonable while producing different results. In reviewing and discussing such analysis, management discussed with the Trustees its belief that costs incurred in establishing and maintaining the infrastructure necessary to support mutual fund operations conducted by the Adviser affect the expenses allocated to the Funds in determining its profitability, as well as the fact that the level of profits, to a certain extent, reflected operational cost savings and efficiencies initiated by management. The Trustees also took into account the need to meet regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, SEC and other regulatory requirements. The Trustees also recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from fund investment advisory contracts, because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, and numerous assumptions regarding allocations. However, the Lipper peer group report reflected that investment advisory fees charged by the Adviser were generally in line with median fees. The investment advisory fees, net of waivers and expenses, with respect to the Funds, were equal to or below the median for all fund classes. The Trustees analyzed the fees paid to the Adviser in light of performance and the services provided, and in light of profitability to the Adviser. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the fees paid to, and the profitability of, Cavanal Hill Investment Management, Inc. under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to each Fund.

 

Economies of Scale

 

Finally, the Trustees considered whether fee levels reflect economies of scale and whether economies of scale would be produced by the growth of the Trust’s assets. The Trustees concluded that the Funds had not yet attained sufficient size to realize material economies of scale. The Trustees further concluded that current asset levels of the Funds did not warrant formal contractual breakpoints. The Trustees determined that their review of potential economies of scale supported their decision to approve the Advisory Agreement.

OPERATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

 

In compliance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), the Cavanal Hill Funds (the “Trust”) has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) for each series of the Trust, exclusive of the money market funds (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), which is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds’ liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) previously approved the Program and the designation of the Cavanal Hill Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee as the Administrator of the Program, subject to the oversight of the Board. The Cavanal Hill Liquidity Risk Management Oversight Committee includes investment, compliance and administration representatives.

 

The Administrator provided its annual report, dated June 1, 2023 (“Liquidity Report”) to the Board in board meeting materials for the Trust’s July 28, 2023 board meeting. The Liquidity Report assessed the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program. The Liquidity Report addressed the key components of the Program, including (i) the Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (ii) short-term and long-term cash flow projections, (iii) any liquidity events or applicable highly liquid investment minimums and (iv) classification of portfolio holdings into one of four liquidity categories. The Administrator also reported on filings of Forms N-PORT and N-Liquid with the SEC, including confirmation that none of the Funds exceeded the 15% illiquid security limit.

 

As reflected in the Liquidity Report, the Program is operating as intended and is an effective tool in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. Each Fund’s liquidity risk continues to be appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objective and strategies. No changes to the Program were recommended.

Additional Fund Information (Unaudited) Continued

August 31, 2023

 

 

As a shareholder of the Cavanal Hill Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; and exchange fees; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Cavanal Hill Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2023 through August 31, 2023.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each of the Cavanal Hill Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expense may not be used to estimate actual ending account balance or expense you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the 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), or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
