WILLISTON BASIN/MID-NORTH AMERICA STOCK FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund (the "WB/MNA Stock Fund" or Fund") for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

The year of 2012 was one in which the financial markets marched to the tunes of politics and economics and back again. Equity markets took several swings along the way and finally scored gains toward the back half of 2012. On the political front, the Presidential campaign took center stage with debate over income taxes, capital gain taxes, and taxation of dividends giving pause for investors to stress over.

World markets have also vacillated over debt problems in parts of Europe and in Greece in particular. However, these concerns have been lingering for months and months and some resolution might come together as time passes. Financial markets have dealt with these worries and already adjusted for many of the risks involved. Given the mundane, ongoing concerns of Middle-Eastern strife, shopworn political rhetoric in the U.S. and rehash of European debt questions, most of the "overburden" on the financial markets has already manifested itself and there might be a glimmer of promise for progress in the months ahead since new harbingers of peril have not surfaced as of yet.

We believe that there may be room for optimism to return to the equity markets after years in which investors remained cautious and reluctant to buy stocks in favor of placing money in bonds and bank deposits. The financial system is now heavily liquid and with interest rates at historic lows, any hint of confidence in the economy could convert to gains in the stock market. Based on this premise we are invested in a portfolio of companies that could participate in growth coming out of any improvement in investor confidence.

The Fund turned in a slight gain for the year of 0.19%* total return compared to a 16.42% return for the benchmark Russell 3000 and a 2.61% return for the Dow Jones U.S. Oil & Gas Index for the same period. Shares of the Fund began 2012 with gains from the $5.42 per share ending point of 2011 to $6.12 in late February in tandem with the stock market and crude oil prices as well. From that point, oil prices generally declined as did stock indices and the Fund shares retracted to $4.38 per share before beginning a sharp increase into September and October. Again shares softened in late autumn along with oil and equity prices prior to a year-end rally that placed the shares at $5.43 at year-end for a slight gain on the year.

Management remains focused on investments in companies that operate in the Williston Basin and other parts of North America, such as the Eagle Ford play that offers promise of energy development and related activity. We remain convinced that the Williston Basin holds greater propensity for investment growth in the years ahead. During the past year the Fund held many of the positions that were established previously. Money was added and reduced as the manager's monitored progress of these holdings. Oil exploration companies continue to find more oil and the State of North Dakota, where strong drilling activity is centered, became the second largest producer of oil in the United States. The Fund increased its emphasis on oil refining investments as domestic oil production increases allowed for refining companies to increase profit margin and turn in respectable gains.

Oil service companies stand to do more business as more and more drilling creates repeat service work for perhaps decades and therefore the Fund has held numerous companies that work in the maintenance and upkeep of oil and gas wells. Shares of service companies softened earlier in 2012 and then the sector began advancing toward year-end. The Fund added new money to this sector later in the year in anticipation of good prospects going forward. Infrastructure companies that support the aforementioned sectors should benefit as well and the Fund will continue to seek out opportunities in this arena.

We expect to see continued drilling for oil and gas and continued progress toward energy independence for North America. Growth potential has and should continue to spread to ancillary businesses where we expect additional investment opportunities for the Fund.

INTEGRITY DIVIDEND HARVEST FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund (the "Dividend Harvest Fund" or "Fund") for the period since commencement of operations on May 1, 2012. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

Since inception of the Fund on May 1, 2012 the market has generally been positive with a few rough patches. The second quarter was defined by fears of European default, slowing growth in China, diminishing consumer confidence domestically, and uncertainty in the actions of the Federal Reserve. These factors weighed heavily on the economy and the market, forcing the spotlight on the Fed to take further measures to spur economic growth.

In the third quarter, the market regained momentum and moved higher driven by the Federal Reserve's announcement of QE3, improving consumer confidence, and improving housing numbers. Although the economy seemed to be improving domestically, international issues still hung over the market with fears of an economic slowdown in China as well as debt and recession worries in Europe all remaining unresolved.

In the fourth quarter the market traded slightly lower as uncertainty going into the presidential election and the looming fiscal cliff added to investor hesitation. As most predicted, the fiscal cliff negotiations drug out all of December and culminated with a last minute deal that focused mainly on the tax issues and did little to address spending by temporarily delaying sequestration cuts.

We enter 2013 with some resolution on the tax side, while unresolved spending and debt ceiling concerns still remain, as well as an unemployment rate above 7.5%. With current gridlock in Washington we are sure to be in for another battle over the planned sequestration cuts that, if not resolved, could cast a cloud over the markets later in the first quarter 2013.

The Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund posted a total return of 2.86%* for the period since inception to year end, compared to 3.10% for the S&P 500 over the same time period.

Over the last half of the year higher yielding stocks lagged the broader market but remained positive. Higher yielding stocks underperformed in December as investors turned to higher beta names due to whispers of a late compromise on the fiscal cliff and talk of proposed higher tax rates on dividend income.

Key detractors to the relative performance of the Fund included an overweight allocation of the Utilities sector as well as stock selection in the Telecommunication Services sector.

Key contributions to the relative performance of the Fund included stock selection in the Consumer Staples and Energy sectors as well as an underweighting of the Information Technology sector.

The Fund seeks to maximize total return by emphasizing high current income with long term appreciation as a secondary objective, consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund considers dividend yield, dividend growth rate, earnings growth, price-to-earnings multiples, and balance sheet strength. The Fund emphasizes dividend yield in selecting stocks for the Fund because the Portfolio Management Team believes that, over time, dividend income can contribute significantly to total return and is a more consistent source of investment return than appreciation.

INTEGRITY GROWTH & INCOME FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity Growth & Income Fund (the "Growth & Income Fund" or "Fund") for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

The Fund is managed using a blend of growth & income investment strategy by seeking to invest primarily in domestic common stocks, balancing its investments between growth & dividend paying stocks. The Fund tries to emphasize companies that the investment adviser believes offer both attractive opportunities and demonstrate a positive awareness of their impact on the society in which they operate.

The stock market didn't let an uncertain economy keep it from having a good year. Nor did euro zone jitters, a divisive election campaign or worries about the "fiscal cliff".

Despite intense negativity and a post-Christmas slide, the market finished the year with impressive returns, helped by a gradually improving economy and robust corporate profits. With one day of trading left in the year, U.S. stocks closed out 2012 with their strongest day in more than a month putting the S&P 500 Index up 16.00% for the year, as lawmakers in Washington closed in on a resolution to the "fiscal cliff" negotiations.

The solid 2012 stock market results probably came as a surprise to many. In November, polls suggested nearly half of respondents said they thought market performance would be poor to flat this year. Yet earnings, cash flow, balance sheets and general business trends have improved substantially.

The coming year certainly presents challenges, none more immediate than the fiscal cliff and its prospects for higher income-taxes and federal spending cuts. Other issues on tap for 2013 include federal deficits, high unemployment and another looming deadline for the federal debt ceiling.

Despite all the issues in Washington D.C., we are optimistic for equities in 2013. General economic positives include, jobless rates that have been inching lower, interest rates and inflation appear benign, improved housing, declining consumer loan delinquencies and fewer bankruptcies all point to moderate equity growth of 4 to 5 percent. Coupled with the fact that money has been hemorrhaging out of stocks and going into bonds for the past four or five years sets the stage for a rotation into equities as fixed income doesn't offer much potential.

The Integrity Growth & Income Fund began the year at $37.67 and ended the year at $42.80 for a total return of 13.65%* compared to the S&P 500 Index's return of 16.00% for 2012.

Key contributors to relative performance of the Fund included: medical instruments & supply co., Thermo Fisher Scientific up 43%; money center bank, JP Morgan Chase up 36%; personal computer company, Apple up 32%; and software company, Oracle Corp. up 31%.

Key detractors to relative performance of the Fund included: networking & communication devices company, Super Mirco Computer down 34%; oil & gas exploration company, Kodiak Oil & Gas down 6%; and oil & gas equipment & services companies, Halliburton up 1.6% and National Oilwell Varco up 1.2%.

Recent additions to the portfolio during the period include: money center bank, Wells Fargo & Co.; rail car company, Trinity Industries; investment brokerage company, Morgan Stanley; diversified natural resource company, MDU Resources; and pediatric nutrition company, Mead Johnson Nutrition.

INTEGRITY HIGH INCOME FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity High Income Fund (the "High Income Fund" or "Fund") for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

Market Recap

Accommodations from central banks, an improving U.S. economy, solid corporate fundamentals, modest economic growth, robust and record-setting primary market conditions, strong demand from mutual fund inflows and a low default environment were all conducive to producing strong returns in high yield during 2012. Ultimately, investors' desire for yield and the support of positive corporate fundamentals continue to drive interest in the asset class. The Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index returned 15.81% in 2012. Overall, both spreads and yields tightened dramatically during the period. At December 31st, high-yield spreads, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, were 539 basis points (bps), 211 bps tighter for the 12-month period, while yields fell from 8.36% (at December 31, 2011) to 6.13%.

Riskier CCC-rated bonds outperformed in 2012 despite lagging higher-quality credits in each of the final three quarters of the year. With nearly all sectors posting positive returns (as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index), home construction, banking and insurance led performance this year. The lowest-performing sectors for the year were supermarkets, environmental and refining.

Primary market conditions were robust and 2012 was a record-setting year as high-yield issuers priced a total of $337 billion during the 12-month period. The quality of new issues remained conservative overall, though lower-quality issuance increased during the second half of the year. Refinancing activity continues to dominate the use of proceeds as companies amended terms or extended maturities. Supported by a desire for yield, strong fundamentals and low defaults, demand for risky assets drove $31.9 billion into high-yield mutual funds during 2012, although a few periods of market volatility and waning risk appetites resulted in some noticeable weekly outflows.

While the number of defaults increased during 2012, default volumes were basically unchanged for the third straight year. The par-weighted high-yield default rate of 1.73% at the beginning of the year decreased gradually in six of the last seven months to 1.14%, well below historical averages of 4%.

Portfolio Performance and Positioning

For the year, the Integrity High Income Fund returned 14.22%* (A Class Shares) and 13.35%* (C Class Shares), compared to its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, which returned 15.81%, and an annual return of 15.55% for the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index. The Portfolio underperformed its benchmark (on a net of fees basis) for the year due to security selection in the banking, real estate investment trust and home builders sectors. The largest detractors came from relative weightings in the Royal Bank of Scotland, Caesars Entertainment Corporation, James River Coal, Ally Financial and Easton-Bell Sports. Alternatively, relative contributions from security selection in the telecommunication services, independent energy and chemicals sectors enhanced performance. Specifically, relative weightings in Sprint Nextel Corporation, Reichhold Industries, First Data Corporation, Bon-Ton Stores and Edison Mission Energy improved results for the year.

Compared to the benchmark at year-end, the Fund was overweight in consumer products, healthcare and consumer services due to our view of the relative value opportunities within those sectors. The Fund was underweight in banking, metals and mining, and electric utilities because we have not found these sectors compelling due to challenging fundamental outlooks or rich valuations.

Market Outlook

Corporate health remains strong and company management's stance towards leverage is still cautious despite some weakness in revenues and operating profits revealed in third-quarter results. We expect modest economic growth in the U.S. and positive growth globally. We believe spreads reflect current risks and still provide an attractive risk/return trade-off. Although the potential for further capital appreciation is limited and, given the global desire for yield, demand for high yield will remain. Given the solid corporate fundamentals and proactive refinancing activities, we expect default rates will remain in the low single digits and well below historical averages of 4%. As high yield remains vulnerable to short-term volatility, we will continue to rely on our individual security selection to be the primary driver of performance.

Putting Performance into Perspective

Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. You can obtain performance data current to the most recent month end (available within seven business days of the most recent month end) by calling 800-276-1262.

You should consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. For this and other important information, please obtain a Fund prospectus at no cost from your financial adviser and read it carefully before investing.

The table and graph above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions and redemptions of Fund shares.

The graph comparing the Fund's performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how the Fund performed. To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two. The Fund's total return for the period shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees. A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results. In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities to match the index. If they could, transaction costs and other expenses would be incurred. All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends.

The results prior to August 1, 2009 were achieved while the Fund was managed by a different investment adviser. The current investment adviser may produce different investment results than those achieved by the previous investment adviser.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1: Organization

The Integrity Funds (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 31, 1997 and commenced operations on October 31, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company, consisting of four series (the "Funds").

Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund (the "WB/MNA Stock Fund"), a diversified fund, seeks to provide long-term growth through capital appreciation. Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund (the "Dividend Harvest Fund", a non-diversified fund, seeks high current income with long term appreciation as a secondary objective. Integrity Growth & Income Fund (the "Growth & Income Fund"), a diversified fund, seeks to provide long-term growth of capital with dividend income as a secondary objective. Integrity High Income Fund (the "High Income Fund"), a non-diversified fund, seeks a high level of current income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

High Income Fund is currently the only fund in the Trust that offers both Class A and Class C shares. High Income Fund Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of 4.25% and a distribution fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. High Income Fund Class C shares are sold without a sales charge and are subject to a distribution fee of up to 1.00% on an annual basis. The two classes of shares represent interest in the same portfolio of investments, have the same rights, and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and certain other class expenses and have exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required.

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment security valuation—Securities for which market quotations are available are valued as follows: (a) Listed securities are valued at the closing price obtained from the respective primary exchange on which the security is listed or, if there were no sales on that day, at its last reported current bid price; (b) Unlisted securities are valued at the last current bid price obtained from the National Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System. Integrity Fund Services, LLC ("Integrity Fund Services" or "IFS") obtains all of these prices from services that collect and disseminate such market prices. Prices provided by an independent pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices and may take into account appropriate factors such as: institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. In the absence of an ascertainable market value, assets are valued at their fair value as determined by IFS using methods and procedures reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees. Refer to Note 3 for further disclosures related to the inputs used to value the Funds' investments. Shares of a registered investment company, including money market funds, that are not traded on an exchange are valued at the investment company's net asset value per share.

When-issued securities—The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The values of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in each Fund's Schedule of Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

Contingent deferred sales charge—Investments in Class A shares of $1 million or more may be subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if redeemed within 24 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions). Investments in Class C shares (in any amount) may be subject to a 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

Federal and state income taxes—Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.

As of and during the year ended December 31, 2012, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for the tax years before 2009.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities. Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

Premiums and discounts—Premiums and discounts on debt securities are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities.

Security transactions, investment income, expenses and distributions—Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the first in, first out basis unless specifically identified. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable countries' tax rules and regulations. The WB/MNA Stock Fund, Dividend Harvest Fund, and Growth & Income Fund will declare and pay dividends from net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. The High Income Fund declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays such dividends monthly. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value or paid in cash. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified within the composition of net assets to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax basis treatment.

Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary book and tax basis differences will reverse in a subsequent period.

Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Common expenses—Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds within the Trust based on relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each Fund.

Multiple class allocations—High Income Fund is currently the only fund in the Trust that offers multiple share classes. The High Income Fund simultaneously uses the settled shares method to allocate income and fund-wide expenses and uses the relative net assets method to allocate gains and losses. Class-specific expenses, distribution fees, and any other items that are specifically attributable to a particular class are charged directly to such class.

Reporting period end date—For financial reporting purposes, the last day of the reporting period will be the last business day of the month.

NOTE 3: Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 inputs are based on significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of December 31, 2012:

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 ("Act"), funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period of time. The short-term and long-term character of such losses are retained rather than being treated as short-term as under previous law. Pre-enactment losses are eligible to be carried forward for a maximum period of eight years. Pursuant to the Act, post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital losses. As a result, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. The Funds' capital loss carryforward amounts as of December 31, 2012 are as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Growth & Income Fund and High Income Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards of $3,980,252, and $239,144, respectively.

Net capital losses incurred after October 31 and within the tax year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds' next taxable year. For the period ended December 31, 2012, the Dividend Harvest Fund deferred to January 1, 2013, post-October capital losses of $25,124. WB/MNA Stock Fund reclassified $1,921,609 of net investment loss against paid-in capital on the statement of assets and liabilities.

NOTE 7: Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Viking Fund Management ("VFM"), the Funds' investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, LLC ("Integrity Funds Distributor" or "IFD"), the Funds' underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, the Funds' transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC ("Corridor Investors" or "Corridor"), the Funds' sponsor. For Integrity High Income Fund, JPMIM is the sub-adviser. A Trustee of the Funds is also a Governor of Corridor.

VFM provides investment advisory and management services to the Funds. For the WB/MNA Stock Fund, Dividend Harvest Fund, Growth & Income Fund, and High Income Fund the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 0.50%, 0.75%, 1.00%, and 0.85%, respectively, of each Fund's average daily net assets. VFM has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to reimburse expenses, other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, for WB/MNA Stock Fund, Dividend Harvest Fund, Growth & Income Fund, High Income Fund Class A, and High Income Fund Class C, so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.45%, 1.15%, 1.60%, 1.60%, and 2.35%, respectively, through April 30, 2012 and 1.45%, 1.15%, 1.60%, 1.15%, and 1.90%, respectively, for the period May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013. After April 30, 2013, the expense limitations may be terminated or revised. VFM and affiliated service providers may also voluntarily waive fees or reimburse expenses not required under the advisory or other contracts from time to time. Accordingly, after voluntary fee waivers and reimbursements, the Dividend Harvest Fund's actual total expenses were 0.24% of average daily net assets for the period ended December 31, 2012. VFM and the affiliated service providers have agreed to voluntarily waive the affiliated service provider's fees before voluntarily or contractually waiving VFM's management fee. An expense limitation lowers expense ratios and increases returns to investors. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of VFM.

IFD serves as the principal underwriter for the Funds and receives sales charges deducted from sales proceeds and CDSC from applicable redemptions. Also, the Funds have adopted a distribution plan for each class of shares as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. Distribution plans permit the Funds to reimburse its principal underwriter for costs related to selling shares of the Funds and for various other services. These costs, which consist primarily of commissions and service fees to broker-dealers who sell shares of the Funds, are paid by shareholders through expenses called "Distribution Plan expenses." WB/MNA Stock Fund, Dividend Harvest Fund, Growth & Income Fund, High Income Fund Class A, and High Income Fund Class C currently pay an annual distribution fee and/or service fee of up to 0.50%, 0.25%, 0.25%, 0.25%, 1.00%, respectively, of the average daily net assets. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of IFD.

NOTE 8: Principal Risks

The High Income Fund may be invested in lower-rated debt securities that have a higher risk of default or loss of value since these securities may be sensitive to economic changes, political changes or adverse developments specific to the issuer.

The WB/MNA Stock Fund invests significantly in relatively few sectors, primarily the energy sector, and has more exposure to the price movement of this sector than funds that diversify their investments among many sectors.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
The Integrity Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of The Integrity Funds, comprising Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund, Integrity Growth & Income Fund, Integrity High Income Fund and Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund (the "Funds"), as of December 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended for Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund, Integrity Growth & Income Fund and Integrity High Income Fund, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period May 1, 2012 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2012 for Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund. 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. The financial highlights for the years indicated prior to December 31, 2010, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, whose report dated February 16, 2010, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate audit procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting The Integrity Funds as of December 31, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended for Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund, Integrity Growth & Income Fund, Integrity High Income Fund, and the results of its operations, changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period May 1, 2012 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2012 for the Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Funds expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 one-half year period shown below and held for the entire one-half year period.

Actual expenses—The section in the table under the heading "Actual" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns 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 account value of $8,600 divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class in the column entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes—The section in the table under the heading "Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds' actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the section in the table under the heading "Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)" 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.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited)

 

Viking Fund Management, LLC ("Viking" or "Adviser"), the Fund's investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, LLC ("IFD"), the Fund's underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, LLC ("IFS"), the Fund's transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC ("Corridor"), the Fund's sponsor.

The approval and the continuation of a fund's investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements must be specifically approved at least annually (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or "Interested Persons" of any party ("Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by the Fund's adviser. The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals. At a meeting held on October 29, 2012, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees of the Fund, approved the Management and Investment Advisory Agreement ("Advisory Agreement"), between the Funds and Viking and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, between the Advisor and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM").

The Trustees, including a majority of Trustees who are neither party to the Advisory or Sub-Advisory Agreements nor "interested persons" of any such party (as such term is defined for regulatory purposes), unanimously renewed the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements. In determining whether it was appropriate to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees requested information, provided by the Investment Adviser and each Sub-Adviser that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion. In connection with the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") directives relating to the renewal of advisory contracts, which include but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

 

 

(a)

the nature and quality of services to be provided by the adviser to the fund;

 

 

 

 

(b)

the various personnel furnishing such services and their duties and qualifications;

 

 

 

 

(c)

the relevant fund's investment performance as compared to standardized industry performance data;

 

 

 

 

(d)

the adviser's costs and profitability of furnishing the investment management services to the fund;

 

 

 

 

(e)

the extent to which the adviser realizes economies of scale as the fund grows larger and the sharing thereof with the fund;

 

 

 

 

(f)

an analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers of similar funds;

 

 

 

 

(g)

the expense ratios of the applicable fund as compared to data for comparable funds; and

 

 

 

 

(h)

information with respect to all benefits to the adviser associated with the fund, including an analysis of so-called "fallout" benefits or indirect profits to the adviser from its relationship to the funds.

In evaluating the Adviser's services and its fees, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of each Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser and its parent, and the proposed advisory fee and other fund expenses compared to the level of advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the foregoing Funds, the Trustees considered, among other things, the fees, the Fund's past performance, the nature and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the adviser and its parent (estimated costs and estimated profits from furnishing the proposed services to each Fund), and the expense waivers by the Adviser. The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to each Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that there were currently no soft dollar arrangements involving the Adviser or Sub-Advisor in the Funds that it manages. Also, the only benefits to affiliates were the fees earned for services provided. The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Trustees also considered the Adviser's commitment to contractually or voluntarily limit Fund expenses, the skills and capabilities of the Adviser, and the representations from the Adviser that the Funds' portfolio managers will continue to manage the Funds' in substantially the same way as it had been managed.

The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, as well as their conclusions relative to such factors in considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement:

Nature, extent and quality of services: The Investment Adviser currently provides services to twelve funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad-based equity funds. The experience and expertise of the Investment Adviser is attributable to the long-term focus on managing investment companies and has the potential to enhance the Fund's future performance. They have a strong culture of compliance and provide quality services. The overall nature and quality of the services provided by the Investment Adviser had historically been, and continues to be, adequate and appropriate.

Investment performance: Upon a review of the total return history and category rankings of each Fund, the Trustees deemed the performance of each Fund to be satisfactory. In addition, each of the Funds has been meeting its investment objective.

As of July 31, 2012, the risk for: (1) Integrity Growth & Income Fund was below average overall. It had a low risk for the 5 and 10-year period and an average risk rating for the 3-year period; (2) Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund was high overall and for the 1, 3, 5 and 10-year time period; (3) Integrity High Income Fund was above average overall and high for the 5-year time period. It had an average risk rating for the 3-year period; (4) Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund had been open for a short period so no risk ratings were available.

As of August 31, 2012, the performance for: (1) Integrity Growth & Income Fund for the 1, 3, and 10-year periods was below its index for its peer group, but above its index classification for the 5-year period. It was at or above its median classification for the 3, 5, and 10-year period and below its median for the 1-year period; (2) Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund for the 3, 5 and 10-year periods was above its index for its peer group, but below its index classification for the 1-year period. It was above its median classification in the 3, 5, and 10-year periods for its peer group, but below its median for the 1-year period; (3) Integrity High Income Fund was above its index for the 1 and 3-year periods. It was below its index classification for the 5-year period. It was at or above its median classification for the 1 and 3-year period, but below its median for the 5-year period; (4) Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund had been open for a short period so no category rankings were available.

Profitability: In connection with its review of fees, the Board also considered the profitability of Viking for its advisory activities. In this regard, the Board reviewed information regarding the finances of Corridor and Viking. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the level of profitability was reasonable in light of the services provided.

Economies of scale: The Board briefly discussed the benefits for the Funds as the Adviser could realize economies of scale as each of the Funds grow larger, but the size of the Funds has not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale. The advisory fees are structured appropriately based on the size of the Fund. The advisor has indicated that a new advisory fee structure may be looked at if the Fund reaches an asset level where the Fund could benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees discussed the fact that the advisor does not benefit from economies of scale due to its relationship to the Funds as the Funds are relatively small and are its only advisory clients.

Analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers of similar funds: A comparison of the management fees charged by the Advisor seemed reasonable to the Trustees when compared to similar funds in objective and size. The adviser is voluntarily waiving advisory fees to a certain degree due to the small size of each Fund.

Expense ratios of the applicable fund as compared to data for comparable funds: (1) a comparison of the net operating expense for the Integrity High Income Fund to other funds of similar objective and size reflected that its net expense ratio of 1.15% for Class A shares and 1.90% for Class C shares was comparable to other funds of similar objective and size; (2) the net operating expense of 1.61% for the Integrity Growth & Income Fund is comparable to other funds of similar objective and size; (3) the net operating expense of 1.16% for the Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund is comparable to other funds of similar objective and size; (4) the net operating expense of 1.44% for the Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund is comparable to other funds of similar objective and size.

Information with respect to all benefits to the adviser associated with the fund, including an analysis of so-called "fallout" benefits or indirect profits to the adviser from its relationship to the funds: The Board noted that the Adviser does not realize material direct benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Adviser currently does not participate in any soft dollar arrangements from securities trading in the Fund.

In voting unanimously to renew the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance. The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, quality and resources of Viking, the strategic plan involving the Funds, and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Funds. They determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the adoption of the Advisory Agreements would be in the best interest of each of the Funds and its shareholders.

Sub-Advisory Agreement with JPMIM

In determining whether it was appropriate to renew the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Investment Adviser and JPMIM with respect to the High Income Fund, the Trustees requested information from JPMIM that they believed to be reasonably necessary to reach their conclusion. The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, as well as their conclusions relative to such factors in considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement:

Nature, extent and quality of services: In reviewing the Agreements, the Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by JPMIM. In this regard, the Board considered the history and investment experience of JPMIM and reviewed the qualifications, background and responsibilities of its portfolio managers and certain other relevant personnel. The Board recognized that JPMIM has significant expertise in managing high yield corporate bond portfolios and its investment style. The Board also recognized the reputation and resources of JPMIM. In light of the information presented and the considerations made, the Board was satisfied that the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by JPMIM are satisfactory.

Analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers of similar funds: The Board considered the sub-advisory fees paid to JPMIM fair and reasonable, in light of the investment sub-advisory services expected to be provided, the anticipated costs of these services and the comparability of the sub-advisory fees to fees paid by comparable mutual funds.

Information with respect to all benefits to the adviser associated with the fund, including an analysis of so-called "fallout" benefits or indirect profits to the adviser from its relationship to the funds: The Board noted, based on information presented by the Adviser, that the Sub-adviser does realize direct benefits from its relationship with the High Income Fund and does not participate in soft dollar arrangements from securities trading in the Fund.

In voting unanimously to renew the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance. The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, quality and resources of JPMIM, the strategic plan involving Integrity High Income Fund, and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Fund. Thus, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the Integrity High Income Fund and its shareholders.

Potential Conflicts of Interest—Investment Adviser

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple funds are presented with the following potential conflicts:

The management of multiple funds may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each fund. The management of multiple funds and accounts also may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts.

 

 

 

 

Robert E. Walstad and Shannon D. Radke are Governors of Corridor, and Mr. Radke is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Corridor. Mr. Walstad and Mr. Radke own membership interests of approximately 10% and 9%, respectively, in Corridor. They initially received their membership interests, without a cash investment, in exchange for their contributions to Corridor (including experience in the mutual fund industry and their personal guaranties of bank financing) and, in addition, with respect to Mr. Radke, in exchange for his interest in Viking. Mr. Radke and Mr. Walstad have purchased a portion of their membership interests in Corridor. Certain other current employees of Corridor own, in the aggregate, approximately 29%-30% of the total membership interests in Corridor, with those employees individually owning an interest of 0.06% to 1.89%. They initially received their membership interests in exchange for their experience and role in the operations of Corridor; some have since purchased a portion of their membership interests.

 

 

 

 

With respect to securities transactions for the Funds, the Investment Adviser determines which broker to use to execute each order, consistent with the duty to seek best execution of the transaction. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Funds. Securities selected for funds or accounts other than the Funds may outperform the securities selected for the Funds.

 

 

 

 

The appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the Investment Adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of one fund but not all funds with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities. The management of personal accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest; there is no assurance that the Funds' code of ethics will adequately address such conflicts. One of the portfolio manager's numerous responsibilities is to assist in the sale of Fund shares. The compensation of Shannon Radke, Robert Walstad, Monte Avery, Josh Larson, and Michael Morey (each of the "Portfolio Manager" of the Funds), is based on salary paid every other week. The Portfolio Managers are not compensated for client retention. In addition, Corridor sponsors a 401(K) plan for all its employees. This plan is funded by employee elective deferrals and a match up to 4% by Corridor of the employees gross pay.

 

 

 

 

Although the Portfolio Manager generally does not trade securities in his own personal account, each of the Funds has adopted a code of ethics that, among other things, permits personal trading by employees under conditions where it has been determined that such trades would not adversely impact client accounts. Nevertheless, the management of personal accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, and there is no assurance that these codes of ethics will adequately address such conflicts.

The Investment Adviser and the Funds have adopted certain compliance procedures, which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Potential Conflicts of Interest—Investment Sub-Adviser for Integrity High Income Fund only

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple funds are presented with the following potential conflicts:

 

 

 

 

Similar Investment Companies Sub‑Advised by JPMIM

 

 

JPMIM acts as investment sub‑adviser to the following investment companies, each of which has an investment objective similar to that of the Fund: Managers High Yield Fund, a series of Managers Trust II; and High Yield Bond Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, a series of SEI Institutional Investments Trust (SIIT); and High Yield Bond Fund, a series of SEI Institutional Managed Investments Trust (SIMT). The SIIT and SIMT funds are also sub-advised by Ares Management LLC and Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management, Inc.

 

 

 

 

With respect to securities transactions for the Fund, the sub-advisor determines which broker to use to execute each order, consistent with the duty to seek best execution of the transaction. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Fund. Securities selected for funds or accounts other than the Fund may outperform the securities selected for the Fund.

 

 

 

 

The appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the sub-adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of one fund but not all funds with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities. The management of personal accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest; there is no assurance that the sub-advisers code of ethics will adequately address such conflicts. As compensation for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is required to pay JPMIM a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Since the dollar amount of the fee will increase as assets increase, JPMIM is expected to receive increased fees as the assets of the Fund increase.

 

 

 

 

JPMIM's portfolio managers participate in a competitive compensation program that is designed to attract and retain outstanding people and closely link the performance of investment professionals to client investment objectives. The total compensation program includes a base salary fixed from year to year and a variable performance bonus consisting of cash incentives and restricted stock and, may include mandatory notional investments (as described below) in selected mutual funds advised by JPMIM. These elements reflect individual performance and the performance of JPMIM's business as a whole.

 

 

 

 

 

Each portfolio manager's performance is formally evaluated annually based on a variety of factors including the aggregate size and blended performance of the portfolios such portfolio manager manages. Individual contribution relative to client goals carries the highest impact. Portfolio manager compensation is primarily driven by meeting, or exceeding, clients' risk and returns objectives, relative performance to competitors or competitive indices and compliance with firm policies and regulatory requirements. In evaluating each portfolio manager's performance with respect to the mutual funds he or she manages, the funds' pre-tax performance is compared to the appropriate market peer group and to each fund's benchmark index listed in the fund's prospectus over one, three and five year periods (or such shorter time as the portfolio manager has managed the fund). Investment performance is generally more heavily weighted to the long term.

 

 

 

 

 

Awards of restricted stock are granted as part of an employee's annual performance bonus and comprise from 0% to 40% of a portfolio manager's total bonus. As the level of incentive compensation increases, the percentage of compensation awarded in restricted stock also increases. Up to 50% of the restricted stock portion of a portfolio manager's bonus may instead be subject to a mandatory notional investment in selected mutual funds advised by JPMIM or its affiliates. When these awards vest over time, the portfolio manager receives cash equal to the market value of the notional investment in the selected mutual funds.

 

 

 

 

Potential conflicts of interest may arise with both the aggregation and allocation of securities transactions and allocation of limited investment opportunities because of market factors or investment restrictions imposed upon JPMIM and its affiliates by law, regulation, contract or internal policies. Allocations of aggregated trades, particularly trade orders that were only partially completed due to limited availability and allocation of investment opportunities generally, could raise a potential conflict of interest, as JPMIM or its affiliates may have an incentive to allocate securities that are expected to increase in value to favored accounts. Initial public offerings, in particular, are frequently of very limited availability. JPMIM and its affiliates may be perceived as causing accounts it manages to participate in an offering to increase JPMIM's or its affiliates' overall allocation of securities in that offering.

 

 

 

 

A potential conflict of interest also may be perceived to arise if transactions in one account closely follow related transactions in a different account, such as when a purchase increases the value of securities previously purchased by another account, or when a sale in one account lowers the sale price received in a sale by a second account. If JPMIM or its affiliates manage accounts that engage in short sales of securities of the type in which the Fund invests, JPMIM or its affiliates could be seen as harming the performance of the Fund for the benefit of the accounts engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall.

 

 

 

 

As an internal policy matter, JPMIM or its affiliates may from time to time maintain certain overall investment limitations on the securities positions or positions in other financial instruments that JPMIM or its affiliates will take on behalf of its clients due to, among other things, liquidity concerns and regulatory restrictions. Such policies may preclude the Fund from purchasing particular securities or financial instruments, even if such securities or financial instruments would otherwise meet the Fund's objectives.

The goal of JPMIM and its affiliates is to meet their fiduciary obligation with respect to all clients. JPMIM and its affiliates have policies and procedures designed to manage the conflicts. JPMIM and its affiliates monitor a variety of areas, including compliance with fund guidelines, review of allocation decisions and compliance with JPMIM's Codes of Ethics and JP Morgan Chase & Co.'s Code of Conduct.

With respect to the allocation of investment opportunities, JPMIM and its affiliates also have certain policies designed to achieve fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among its clients over time. For example: Orders for the same equity security are aggregated on a continual basis throughout each trading day consistent with JPMIM's duty of best execution for its clients. If aggregated trades are fully executed, accounts participating in the trade will be allocated their pro rata share on an average price basis. Partially completed orders generally will be allocated among the participating accounts on a pro rata average price basis, subject to certain limited exceptions. For example, accounts that would receive a de minimis allocation relative to their size may be excluded from the order. Another exception may occur when thin markets or price volatility require that an aggregated order be completed in multiple executions over several days. If partial completion of the order would result in an uneconomic allocation to an account due to fixed transaction or custody costs, JPMIM or its affiliates may exclude small orders until 50% of the total order is completed. Then the small orders will be executed. Following this procedure, small orders will lag in the early execution of the order, but will be completed before completion of the total order.

Purchases of money market instruments and fixed income securities cannot always be allocated pro rata across the accounts with the same investment strategy and objective. However, JPMIM and its affiliates attempt to mitigate any potential unfairness by basing non pro rata allocations traded through a single trading desk or system upon a predetermined criteria for the selection of investments and a disciplined process for allocating securities with similar duration, credit quality and liquidity in the good faith judgment of JPMIM or its affiliates so that fair and equitable allocation will occur over time.

The Adviser and the Fund have adopted certain compliance procedures, which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.


BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS (unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees ("Board") of the Fund consists of four Trustees (the "Trustees").
