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, 2013. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

Following a deal to avert the fiscal cliff in the first couple days of the year, the market went into rally mode as investors turned their attention to market fundamentals and a modestly growing economy. With improving job and home building numbers as well as good corporate earnings, the broader market (S&P 500) posted a strong month in January. February market returns, while positive, were not as strong as investors became slightly hesitant with automatic spending cuts set to kick in on March 1. As it turned out, the automatic spending cuts kicked in with little immediate influence on the market. With the economy on stable footing, the market was up moderately in March and posted a gain of 10.61% for the quarter.

The S&P 500 had modest returns in April and May, building on the strong performance from the first quarter and once again set an all time high. The Federal Reserve asset purchase program remained at $85 billion per month and the economy sustained its steady albeit slow growth. Continued improvement in the labor market, along with seasonally adjusted auto sales near pre-recession levels and consumer sentiment at near six year highs also supported the rally. The market hit a speed bump in mid-June, as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve hinted at tapering asset purchases. This sent equity markets lower and interest rates higher as the market absorbed the news. The market recovered some of the losses as the GDP growth rate was revised down in late June leading investors to believe the Fed tapering may not be date certain. The market returned 2.91% during the second quarter driven by cyclical sectors such as consumer discretionary and financials, while the utilities sector weighed on the market. Investors moved away from high yield equities in the second quarter as interest rates on the 10-year Treasury rose making them less attractive.

The third quarter began strong with improving economic numbers. July markets were led higher by the financials and health care sectors. Worries over the Fed reducing its asset purchases coupled with concerns that the US would get involved in a conflict in Syria caused the market to pull back in August. The S&P 500 did move higher by 5.24% in the third quarter, helped by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke assuring investors there were no immediate plans to taper following the September FOMC meeting.

October began with a 16-day Government shutdown, but the markets steadily pushed higher once a funding agreement was reached. Economic reports continued to improve and the Fed announced on December 18 that they would reduce their asset purchases from $85B per month down to $75B. Enjoying the positive economic reports and clear Fed guidance, the market rallied through the end of the year with the S&P 500 returning 10.51% for the fourth quarter. Ten-year Treasury yields ended up near 3.00%, weighing on non-cyclical sectors such as consumer staples, telecommunication services, and utilities. Cyclical sectors continued their strong performance as industrials, information technology, and consumer discretionary outperformed.

In the month of December, there were 190 active drilling rigs in North Dakota, a 7 rig increase year over year. Drilling rigs are continuing to become more efficient, with drilling times and spud-to-production times declining. This is allowing companies to drill more wells with less rigs. Activity levels were weighted towards the second half of the year, as weather was a significant factor during the first half of the year. Heavy rainfall during the spring led to reduced activity as moving equipment became more difficult and several counties in the heart of the oil activity enforced strict load restrictions. Heading into July, activity picked up as weather improved and capital expenditures of operators increased in the latter part of 2013. For the month of November, North Dakota oil production was 973,045 barrels a day, a 32.38% increase over November 2012.

For 2013, the Fund turned in a gain of 32.00%* compared to a 23.52% return for the Dow Jones U.S. Oil & Gas Index and a return for the Russell 3000 of 33.55% for the same period.

Over the twelve month period, net assets of the Fund increased by $204,666,525 to $701,872,058. The Fund increased its exposure to the engineering & construction industry and decreased its exposure to oilfield service and oilfield equipment. Stock selection in the exploration and production industry contributed significantly to relative performance versus the Dow Jones U.S. Oil & Gas Index in 2013. Over the year, efficiencies in the drilling and completion of wells helped reduce capital costs and newly applied techniques improved well economics for the industry. The Fund has continued to focus on exploration and production companies with core acreage within best-in-class liquids focused basins. Engineering and construction companies and rail related companies contributed to the Fund's performance as well. Stock selection within oilfield service and equipment industries detracted from relative performance.

Throughout 2013, there was significant volatility for refiners. Refineries were the best performing industry for the Fund in the first quarter. During the second quarter, refiners were the worst performing industry within the Fund as regulations of gasoline sulfur content and a decrease in the Brent-WTI differential all contributed to the underperformance. The Fund, however, held a lower weighting in refiners in the second quarter compared to the first. The Fund increased its weighting in refineries in the latter part of the third quarter and over the fourth quarter. During the final quarter of 2013, the regulatory and fundamental environment improved as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lowered the ethanol mandate for gasoline and crude differentials widened which boosted refinery margins. Timely adjustments to allocation in refineries during the year aided the Fund's relative performance versus the Dow Jones U.S. Oil & Gas Index.

North American energy development has continued to be a driving force for American business and commerce. We believe this will generate further interest towards investing in the oil & gas shale revolution. We see upside in the exploration & production industry, as the companies within that industry are seeing higher price realizations on crude oil and further improvements in efficiencies and completion techniques. We also believe the shale revolution will keep the US energy costs on the cheaper end of the global cost curve. This should bode well for stocks in ancillary industries, including engineering and construction companies and chemical companies. We expect to see continued drilling for oil and gas and progression towards energy independence for North America.

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 year ended December 31, 2013. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

With a total return of 32.39%, the S&P 500 had its best year since 1997. Following a deal to avert the fiscal cliff in the first couple days of the year, the market went into rally mode as investors turned their attention to market fundamentals and a modestly growing economy. Investors then became slightly hesitant with automatic spending cuts set to kick in on March 1, yet the cuts kicked in with little immediate influence on the market. High yielding, low volatility stocks were the most desired in the first quarter, driving outperformance in the consumer staples, health care, and utilities sectors while the information technology and materials sectors lagged. The S&P 500 returned 10.61% for the quarter and all time highs were reached in both the Dow and S&P 500.

Headlines in the second quarter revolved around fears of the Federal Reserve ("the Fed") reducing its monthly asset purchase program. This caused the 10-year Treasury yield to increase from a low of 1.63% to 2.48% at quarter end. With yields on the rise, investors reduced their purchases of high-yielding stocks which had a material negative impact on the Fund. Although the Fed decided not to taper, interest rates remained elevated. Throughout the second quarter, the market was driven by cyclical sectors such as consumer discretionary and financials, while the utilities sector weighed on the market.

The third quarter began strong with improving economic numbers. In July, markets were led higher by the financials and health care sectors. Worries over the Fed tapering its asset purchases coupled with concerns that the U.S. would get involved in a conflict in Syria caused the market to pull back in August. However, the S&P 500 did move higher for the third quarter by 5.24%, helped by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke assuring investors there were no immediate plans to taper following the September FOMC meeting.

October began with a 16-day Government shutdown, but the markets steadily pushed higher once a funding agreement was reached. Economic reports continued to improve and the Fed announced on December 18 that they would reduce their asset purchases from $85B per month down to $75B. Enjoying the positive economic reports and clear Fed guidance, the market rallied through the end of the year with the S&P 500 returning 10.51% for the fourth quarter. Ten-year Treasury yields ended up near 3.00%, weighing on non-cyclical sectors such as consumer staples, telecommunication services, and utilities. Cyclical sectors continued their strong performance led by industrials, information technology, and consumer discretionary.

The Fund returned 23.88%* for the year while the S&P 500 returned 32.39% and the Morningstar Large-Cap Value category returned 31.21%. An overweight allocation in utilities and staples and stock selection in consumer discretionary detracted from relative performance for the year while stock selection in utilities and an underweight allocation in information technology contributed to relative performance. Given the Portfolio Management Team's (the "Team") emphasis on "blue chip" stocks, which have demonstrated their ability to continue to pay dividends in both good times and in bad, the Fund's performance may tend to lag in strong up markets but also may typically hold up better in severe down markets.

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. In selecting securities, the Portfolio Management Team considers dividend yield, dividend growth rate, earnings growth, price-to-earnings multiples, and balance sheet strength. The Team emphasizes dividend yield in selecting stocks for the Fund because the Team believes that, over time, dividend income can contribute significantly to total return and is a more consistent source of investment return than capital appreciation.

The S&P 500 returned 10.61% for the quarter and all time highs were reached in both the Dow and S&P 500.

Headlines in the second quarter revolved around fears of the Federal Reserve ("the Fed") reducing its monthly asset purchase program. This caused the 10-year Treasury yield to increase from a low of 1.63% to 2.48% at quarter end. With yields on the rise, investors reduced their purchases of high-yielding stocks. Although the Fed decided not to taper, interest rates remained elevated.

The third quarter began strong with improving economic numbers. In July, markets were led higher by the financials and health care sectors.

The Fund returned 27.76%* for 2013, while the S&P 500 returned 32.39% and the Morningstar Large-Cap Growth category returned 33.92%. Stock selection in the industrials, consumer discretionary, and information technology sectors detracted from relative performance while stock selection in the energy and utilities sectors contributed to relative performance.

The Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital with dividend income as a secondary objective. The Portfolio Management Team ("Team") makes its investment decisions utilizing a top-down approach which focuses on sector weightings given the Team's broader economic and market outlook. Individual companies are then selected by considering a number of factors that may include, but are not limited to, revenue growth, earnings growth rate, dividend yield, cash flow growth rate, price-to-earnings (P/E) and price-to-cash flow (P/CF) multiples, strength of balance sheet, and price momentum. The Team tries to emphasize companies that it believes both offer attractive investment opportunities and demonstrate a positive awareness of their impact on the society in which they operate.

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.


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, 2013. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

Market Recap

Despite fluid developments with monetary and fiscal policy, coupled with persistent interest rate pressure, steadily improving macro fundamentals and wide spreads relative to low defaults produced coupon-type returns for high-yield bonds in 2013. Overall, the asset class outperformed Treasuries, investment-grade and emerging market bonds in 2013. Ultimately, investors' desire for yield and the support of positive corporate fundamentals continued to drive interest in the asset class. The Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index returned 7.44% in 2013. Both spreads and yields ultimately tightened considerably during the period. At December 31, high-yield spreads (as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index) were 428 basis points (bps), 111 bps tighter for the 12-month period. For the same period, yields fell from 6.13% (at December 31, 2012) to 5.64%.

Riskier CCC-rated bonds outperformed again in 2013 as CCCs returned 13.82%, while single-Bs returned 7.27% and double-Bs returned 5.05%. All sectors provided positive returns (as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index) with technology, consumer products and building materials leading performance for the year. The lowest-performing sectors for the year were pipelines, retailers and media cable.

For the second consecutive year, the high-yield primary market set a record for new issue volume. High-yield issuers priced a total of approximately $400 billion, nearly a 9% increase over last year's total. Importantly, despite the pick up in issuance, new-issue quality remained conservative overall, despite the increase in lower-quality issuance during the second half of the year. Refinancing activities continue to dominate the use of proceeds and lower-rated issuance remains well below levels seen prior to the last default cycle.

Retail demand for high-yield bonds weakened in 2013, as rising interest rates and volatility due to uncertainty about monetary and fiscal policy outweighed strong fundamentals and very low default rates. Specifically, high-yield mutual fund flows totaled a net outflow of $4.1 billion in 2013 compared with $29 billion of inflows last year.

Default activity in 2013 was benign, as both default volume and the high-yield default rate reached six-year lows. The trailing 12-month par-weighted high-yield default rate decreased to 0.66%, its lowest level since December 2007. Record capital market conditions have been an important driver of low defaults as issuers continue to refinance at lower rates and extend debt maturity profiles. Default activity is expected to remain low with a forecasted sub-2% default rate through 2015, considerably below historical averages.

Portfolio Performance and Positioning

For the year, the Integrity High Income Fund returned 6.32%* (A Class Shares, net of fees) and 5.53%* (C Class Shares, net of fees), compared to its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, which returned 7.44%, and an annual return of 7.41% for the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index. In addition to the negative impact of cash flows, the Fund underperformed its benchmark (on a net of fees basis) for the year due to security selection in the telecommunications, consumer services and media non-cable sectors. The largest detractors came from relative weightings in Sprint Corporation, Springleaf Finance Corporation, Reichhold Industries, DISH DBS Corporation and ArcelorMittal. Alternatively, relative contributions from security selection in the healthcare, technology and independent energy sectors enhanced performance. Specifically, relative weightings in Radiation Therapy Services, Reynolds Group, First Data Corporation, Accellent and Marina District Finance improved results for the year.

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

Market Outlook

In 2014, we expect improving growth in the U.S. and modestly positive growth globally. We anticipate that corporate earnings will strengthen in 2014 and corporate balance sheets will remain healthy and supportive of valuations. Given attractive financing rates, companies continue to refinance and extend debt-maturity profiles. Mergers-and-acquisition activity, which has been generally constructive for high-yield companies, should accelerate in 2014. Default rates are forecasted to remain below 2% through 2015. We expect tapering to continue throughout 2014 as the U.S. economic data improves, pushing Treasury rates gradually higher throughout the year. Although high yield has shown low or negative correlation with rates historically, given the current spread levels and relative low absolute yields combined with the continued tapering of quantitative easing and associated further rate rises, we believe high yield will be more positively correlated. We also expect the re-emergence of spread and performance volatility around technical pressures resulting from retail fund flows. Importantly, we expect high yield to continue to exhibit strong relative performance versus most other fixed income assets in 2014 as we forecast low single-digit returns for the broader high-yield market. We will continue to utilize our bottom-up, individual security selection investment process to capitalize on dislocations in value and market opportunities.

For WB/MNA Stock Fund, Growth & Income Fund, and High Income Fund, year ended. For Dividend Harvest Fund, the period May 1, 2012 (commencement of operations) to December 1, 2013.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.


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, 2013, 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 2010.

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 for financial statement purposes.

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. As of December 31, 2013, accumulated net investment income (loss) was increased by $1,520,502 and accumulated capital gains (losses) was decreased by $1,520,502 for the WB/MNA Stock Fund due to the reclassification of net investment loss.

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.

Illiquid securities—A security may be considered to be illiquid if it has a limited trading market. Securities are generally considered to be liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the Fund. These securities are valued at fair value as described above. Each Fund intends to hold no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

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, 2013:

Differences between financial reporting-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are due to differing treatment of wash sales.

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, 2013, are as follows:

 

 

High Income Fund

Expires in 2016

 

$30,927,275

Expires in 2017

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the WB/MNA Stock Fund, Growth & Income Fund, and High Income Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards of $17,604,380, $1,031,622, and $717,364, respectively.

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%, 1.15%, and 1.90%, respectively, through April 30, 2013 and 1.45%, 1.15%, 1.25%, 1.15%, and 1.90%, respectively, for the period May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014. After April 30, 2014, 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 and contractual fee waivers and reimbursements, the Dividend Harvest Fund's actual total expenses were 0.45% of average daily net assets for the year ended December 31, 2013. 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 Dividend Harvest Fund, Integrity Growth & Income Fund, and Integrity High Income Fund (the "Funds") as of December 31, 2013, 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 four 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 statement of operations for the year ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two periods in the period then ended 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 year ended December 31, 2009, 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, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian. 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, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated above, 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 28, 2013, 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 soft dollar arrangements involving the Adviser, but there were none involving the 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 eleven 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 August 31, 2013, the risk for: (1) Integrity Growth & Income Fund was average overall. It had a below average risk rating for the 5 and 10-year periods and above average for the 3-year period; (2) Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund was below average overall and for the 5 -year time period. It was above average for the 3-year period and low for the 10-year 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, 2013, the Fund return rating for: (1) Integrity Growth & Income Fund was below average overall and for the 3-year, and 5-year time periods. It was average for the 10-year period; (2) Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund was above average overall, high for the 3 and 5-year periods, and low for the 10-year time periods. (3) Integrity High Income Fund was below average overall and for the 3 and 5-year time periods. (4) Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund had been open for a short period so no return ratings were available.

As of August 31, 2013, the Fund performance for: (1) Integrity Growth & Income Fund for the 1, 3, and 5-year periods was below its index for its peer group, but above its index classification for the 10-year period. It was above its median classification for the 3 and 10-year period and below its median for the 1 and 5-year periods; (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 was below for the 1-year period. It was above its median classification in the 1, 3, and 5-year periods for its peer group, but below its median for the 10-year period; (3) Integrity High Income Fund was below its index for the 1, 3 and 5-year periods. It was at or above its median classification for the 3 and 5-year period, but below its median for the 1-year period; (4) Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund was below its index and median for the 1-year period.

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.

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 certain Funds.

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 1.25% for the Integrity Growth & Income Fund is comparable to other funds of similar objective and size; (3) the net operating expense of 1.15% for the Integrity Dividend Harvest Fund is comparable to other funds of similar objective and size; (4) the net operating expense of 1.42% 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.

 

 

 

 

Shannon D. Radke is a Governor, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Corridor. He owns membership interests of approximately 9% in Corridor. He initially received membership interests, without a cash investment, in exchange for contributions to Corridor (including experience in the mutual fund industry and personal guaranties of bank financing) and, in addition, in exchange for his interest in Viking. Mr. Radke also purchased a portion of his membership interests in Corridor. In connection with their roles, Josh Larson and Mike Morey also own membership interests in Corridor (in each case equal to less than 1% of Corridor's total membership interests). Certain other current employees of Corridor own, in the aggregate, approximately 37%-38% of the total membership interests in Corridor, with those employees individually owning an interest of 0.06% to 10%. 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, 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, 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 multi-managed and are also sub-advised by Ares Management LLC, Brigade Capital Management, Delaware Investments Fund Advisers, and Guggenheim Partners, LLC.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Portfolio Manager Compensation

 

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.


BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS (unaudited)

 

The Board of Trustees ("Board") of the Funds consists of four Trustees (the "Trustees"). These same individuals, unless otherwise noted, also serve as trustees for the five series of Integrity Managed Portfolios, and the two series of Viking Mutual Funds. Three Trustees are not "interested persons" (75% of the total) as defined under the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"). The remaining Trustee is "interested" (the "Interested Trustees") by virtue of his affiliation with Viking Fund Management, LLC and its affiliates."

For the purposes of this section, the "Fund Complex" consists of the five series of Integrity Managed Portfolios, the four series of The Integrity Funds, and the two series of Viking Mutual Funds.

Each Trustee serves the Funds until its termination; or until the Trustee's retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the Funds' organizational documents. Each Officer serves an annual term. The tables that follow show information for each Trustee and Officer of the Funds.

INTEGRITY VIKING FUNDS

CODE OF ETHICS

AND

STATEMENT ON INSIDER TRADING


CODE OF ETHICS

INTEGRITY VIKING FUNDS

Rule 17j-1 (the "Rule") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") requires registered investment companies ("investment companies") and their investment advisers, sub-advisers and principal underwriters to adopt written codes of ethics designed to prevent fraudulent trading by those persons covered under the Rule. The Rule also makes it unlawful for certain persons, including any officer or director of an investment company, in connection with the purchase or sale by such person of a security held or to be acquired by an investment company to:

 

 

 

 

(1)

employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the investment company;

 

 

 

 

(2)

make to the investment company any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to the investment company a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

 

 

 

 

(3)

engage in any act, practice or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the investment company; or

 

 

 

 

(4)

engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the investment company.

The Rule also requires that each investment company and its affiliates use reasonable diligence and institute procedures reasonably necessary to prevent violations of its code of ethics.

In addition to the Rule, the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988 ("ITSFEA") requires that all investment advisers and broker-dealers establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures designed to detect and prevent the misuse of material nonpublic information by such investment adviser and/or broker-dealer. Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act") states that an investment adviser must adopt and disseminate written policies with respect to ITSFEA, and an investment adviser must also vigilantly review, update, and enforce them. Section 204A provides that every person subject to Section 204 of the Advisers Act shall be required to establish procedures to prevent insider trading.

Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("the Advisers Act"), which is effective February 1, 2005, requires registered investment advisers and sub-advisers to adopt written codes of ethics designed to prevent fraudulent trading by those persons covered under the Rule.

Attached to this Code of Ethics ("Code") as Exhibit A is a Statement on Insider Trading. Any investment adviser who acts as such for the Fund and any broker-dealer who acts as the principal underwriter for the Fund must comply with the policy and procedures outlined in the Statement on Insider Trading unless such investment adviser or principal underwriter has adopted a similar policy and procedures with respect to insider trading, which are determined by the Fund's Board to comply with ITSFEA's requirements.

This Code is being adopted by the Fund (1) for implementation with respect to covered persons of the Fund and (2) for implementation by each "investment adviser" to the Fund as that term is defined in the Act (each such investment adviser being deemed an "investment adviser" for purposes of this Code) and for each principal underwriter ("Principal Underwriter") for the Fund unless such Investment Adviser or Principal Underwriter has adopted a code of ethics and plan of implementation thereof which is determined by the Fund's Board to comply with the requirements of the Rule and to be sufficient to effectuate the purpose and objectives of the Rule.

The personal trading activity by access persons of unaffiliated sub-advisers shall be governed by the Code of Ethics and Statement on Insider Trading of the applicable sub-adviser, provided that each such sub-adviser's Code of Ethics meet the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, is in the best interests of the shareholders and is determined by the Fund's Board to comply with the requirements of the Rule and to be sufficient to effectuate the purpose and objectives of the Rule.

STATEMENT OF GENERAL PRINCIPLES

This Code is based on the principle that the officers, directors/trustees, and employees of the Fund and the officers, governors, and employees of the Fund's investment adviser owe a fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the Fund and, therefore, the Fund's and investment adviser's personnel must place the shareholders' interests ahead of their own. The Fund's and investment adviser's personnel must also avoid any conduct which could create a potential conflict of interest and must ensure that their personal securities transactions do not in any way interfere with the Fund's portfolio transactions and that they do not take inappropriate advantage of their positions. All persons covered by this Code must adhere to these general principles as well as the Code's specific provisions, procedures, and restrictions. In addition, all employees must comply with all other applicable federal securities laws.

DEFINITIONS

For purposes of this Code:

"Access Person" means any director/trustee, officer, employee, or Advisory Person of the Fund or those persons who have an active part in the management, portfolio selection, or underwriting functions of the Fund, or who, in the course of their normal duties, obtain prior information about the Fund's purchases or sales of securities (i.e. traders and analysts). The Access Persons are listed in Exhibit G.

"Advisory Person" With respect to an investment adviser, an Advisory Person means any governor, officer, general partner, or employee who, in connection with his/her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in, or obtains current information regarding the purchase or sale of a security by the Fund or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales, including any natural person in a control relationship to the Fund who obtains current information concerning recommendations made with regard to the purchase or sale of a security by the Fund. For the purposes of this Code, an Advisory Person is also considered an Access Person.

"Automatic Investment Plan" means a program in which regular periodic purchases (or withdrawals) are made automatically in (or from) investment accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation. An automatic investment plan includes a dividend reinvestment plan.

"Board" means either the Board of Directors or the Board of Trustees, as the case may be, of the Fund.

"Fund" means any mutual fund or series of any mutual fund in the Integrity Viking Funds group, whether one or more funds or series of a Fund are involved.

"Fund Personnel" means an Access Person and/or Advisory Person.

"Non-Access Fund Personnel" are all other employees of Integrity Viking Funds not covered under any of the aforementioned classifications of personnel and, in most cases, do not have to pre-clear or report their security transactions.

"Portfolio Manager" means an employee of an investment adviser or sub-adviser entrusted with the direct responsibility and authority to make investment decisions affecting the Fund. The Portfolio Managers are listed in Exhibit H.

"Beneficial Ownership" is as defined in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder which, generally speaking, encompass those situations where the beneficial owner has the right to enjoy some economic benefits which are substantially equivalent to ownership regardless of who is the registered owner. This includes:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

securities which a person holds for his or her own benefit either in bearer form, registered in his or her own name, or otherwise, regardless of whether the securities are owned individually or jointly;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

securities held in the name of a member of his or her immediate family sharing the same household;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

securities held in the name of an investment club of which the person is a member;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

securities held by a trustee, executor, administrator, custodian, or broker;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(v)

securities owned by a general partnership of which the person is a member or a limited partnership of which such person is a general partner;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(vi)

securities held by a corporation which can be regarded as a personal holding company of a person; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(vii)

securities recently purchased by a person and awaiting transfer into his or her name.

 

"Chief Compliance Officer" means a person appointed that title by the Board of Governors of the Investment Adviser pursuant to Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act or a person appointed that title by the Board of Directors/Trustees of a Fund pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the Act and shall not include a Compliance Officer as defined herein.

"Covered Security" has the meaning set forth in Section 2(a) (36) of the Act, except that it does not include shares of registered open-end investment companies with the exception of the purchase and/or sale of fund shares of any of the Integrity Viking Funds, securities issued by the Government of the United States or by Federal agencies which are direct obligations of the United States, bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of deposits, and commercial paper. A future or an option on a future is deemed to be a security subject to this Code.

"Compliance Officer" means an employee of the Investment Adviser and/or Principal Underwriter of a Fund who has been appointed such position by the adviser or underwriter, but shall not include a Chief Compliance Officer as defined herein.

"Reportable Fund" means any Fund advised by the Investment Adviser, and any Fund whose Investment Adviser or Principal Underwriter is controlled by Corridor Investors, LLC, the parent company.

"Reportable Security" means any personal transaction in a covered security that must be reported to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Investment Adviser after execution of a trade (see Exhibit E for examples).

"Security Requiring Pre-clearance" means any personal transaction in a reportable covered security that must be pre-cleared by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Investment Adviser prior to execution of a trade (see Exhibit E for examples).

"Purchase or sale of a security" includes the writing of an option to purchase or sell a security.

A security is "being considered for purchase or sale" or is "being purchased or sold" when a recommendation to purchase or sell the security has been made by an investment adviser and such determination has been communicated to the Fund. With respect to the investment adviser making the recommendation, a security is being considered for purchase or sale when an officer, governor, or employee of such investment adviser seriously considers making such a recommendation.

Solely for purposes of this Code, any agent of the Fund charged with arranging the execution of a transaction is subject to the reporting requirements of this Code as to any such security as and from the time the security is identified to such agent as though such agent were an investment adviser hereunder.

Note: An officer or employee of the Fund or an investment adviser whose duties do not include the advisory functions described above, who does not have access to the advisory information contemplated above, and whose assigned place of employment is at a location where no investment advisory services are performed for the Fund is not an "Advisory Person" or an "Access Person" unless actual advance knowledge of a covered transaction is furnished to such person. Such personnel will be considered "Non-Access Fund Personnel" and will be subject to the requirements of this Code as such.

PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS

Fund personnel shall not engage in any act, practice, or course of conduct which would violate the provisions of the Rule set forth above. No Access Person or Advisory Person shall purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any security in which he/she has, or by reason of such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership and which, to his/her actual knowledge, at the time of such purchase or sale (i) is being considered for purchase or sale by the Fund, or (ii) is being purchased or sold by the Fund; except that the prohibitions of this section shall not apply to:

 

 

 

 

(1)

purchases or sales effected in any account over which the Access Person or Advisory Person has no direct or indirect influence or control;

 

 

 

 

(2)

purchases or sales which are nonvolitional on the part of either the Access Person, the Advisory Person, or the Fund;

 

 

 

 

(3)

purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment or other plan established by Fund Personnel prior to the time the security involved came within the purview of this Code;

 

 

 

 

(4)

purchases effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro rata to all holders of a class of its securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired; and

 

 

 

 

(5)

purchases or sales that are pre-cleared in writing and approved by the Chief Compliance Officer as (a) clearly not economically related to securities to be purchased or sold or held by the Fund and (b) not representing any danger of the abuses proscribed by Rule 17j-1 of the Act, but only after the prospective purchaser has identified to the Chief Compliance Officer all relevant factors of which he/she is aware of regarding any potential conflict between his/her transaction and securities held or to be held by the Fund.

PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS BY FUND PERSONNEL

No Fund Personnel shall:

 

 

 

 

(a)

acquire any securities in an initial public offering; or

 

 

 

 

(b)

acquire securities in a private placement without prior written approval of the Chief Compliance Officer or other officer designated by the Board.

In considering a request to invest in a private placement, the Chief Compliance Officer will take into account, among other factors, whether the investment opportunity should be reserved for the Fund and whether the opportunity is being offered to Fund Personnel by virtue of their/his/her position with the Fund. Should Fund Personnel be authorized to acquire securities through a private placement, they/he/she shall, in addition to reporting the transaction on the quarterly report to the Fund, disclose the interest in that investment to other Fund Personnel participating in that investment decision if and when they/he/she plays a part in the Fund's subsequent consideration of an investment in that issuer. In such a case, the Fund's decision to purchase securities of that issuer will be subject to an independent review by Fund Personnel who have no personal interest in the issuer.

BLACKOUT PERIODS

No Access Person or Advisory Person shall execute a securities transaction on a day during which the Fund has a pending "buy" or "sell" order in that same security until that order is executed or withdrawn. In addition, a Portfolio Manager is expressly prohibited from purchasing or selling a security within seven (7) calendar days before or after the Fund that he/she manages trades in that security.

The foregoing prohibition of personal transactions during the seven-day period following the execution of a transaction for the Fund shall not apply with respect to a security when the Portfolio Manager certifies in writing to the Chief Compliance Officer that the Fund's trading program in that security is complete. Each transaction authorized by the Chief Compliance Officer pursuant to this provision shall be reported to the Board by the Chief Compliance Officer at the Board's next regular meeting.

Should Fund Personnel trade within the proscribed period, such trade should be canceled if possible. If it is not possible to cancel the trade, all profits from the trade must be disgorged, and the profits will be paid to a charity selected by the Fund Personnel and approved by the officers of the Fund.

The prohibitions of this section shall not apply to:

 

 

 

 

(1)

purchases or sales effected in any account over which the Access Person or Advisory Person has no direct or indirect influence or control if the person making the investment decision with respect to such account has no actual knowledge about the Fund's pending "buy" or "sell" order;

 

 

 

 

(2)

purchases or sales which are nonvolitional on the part of either the Access Person, the Advisory Person, or the Fund;

 

 

 

 

(3)

purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment or other plan established by Fund Personnel prior to the time the security involved came within the purview of this Code; and

 

 

 

 

(4)

purchases effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro rata to all holders of a class of its securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired.

 

 

 

 

(5)

purchases or sales that are pre-cleared in writing by the Chief Compliance Officer as (a) clearly not economically related to securities to be purchased or sold or held by the Fund and (b) not representing any danger of the abuses proscribed by Rule 17j-1 of the Act, but only after the prospective purchaser has identified to the Chief Compliance Officer all relevant factors of which he/she is aware of regarding any potential conflict between his/her transaction and securities held or to be held by the Fund.

SHORT-TERM TRADING

No Fund Personnel shall profit from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of the same (or equivalent) securities which are owned by the Fund or which are of a type suitable for purchase by the Fund within sixty (60) calendar days. Any profits realized on such short-term trades must be disgorged, and the profits will be paid to a charity selected by the Fund Personnel and approved by the officers of the Fund. The Chief Compliance Officer or other officer designated by the Board may permit in writing exemptions to the prohibition of this section on a case-by-case basis when no abuse is involved and the equities of the circumstances support an exemption.

GIFTS

No Fund Personnel shall accept a gift or other thing of more than one hundred dollars in value ("gift") from any person or entity that does business with or on behalf of the Fund if such gift is in relation to the business of the employer of the recipient of the gift. In addition, any Fund Personnel who receive an unsolicited gift or a gift of an unclear status under this section shall promptly notify the Chief Compliance Officer and accept the gift only upon written approval of the Chief Compliance Officer.

SERVICE AS A DIRECTOR

No Fund Personnel shall serve as a director of a publicly-traded company absent prior written authorization from the Fund Board based upon a determination that such board service would not be inconsistent with the interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

PRE-CLEARANCE AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

1.

All Fund Personnel shall pre-clear their personal securities transactions in securities requiring prior approval before executing an order. Exhibit E, attached to this Code, provides a list of the securities requiring pre-clearance. A request must be submitted to the Chief Compliance Officer, and the Chief Compliance Officer must give his/her authorization prior to Fund Personnel placing a purchase or sell order with a broker. Should the Chief Compliance Officer deny the request, he/she will give a reason for the denial. Approval of a request will remain valid for two (2) business days from the date of the approval.*

 

 

*

The Board has determined that placement of a limit order constitutes a transaction requiring approval, and the limit order must be placed within two days from the date of approval. Implementation of a limit order in accordance with its approved terms is a ministerial act, which occurs in the future by the terms of the limit order and does not require approval. A change of terms in, or withdrawal of, a standing limit order is an investment decision for which clearance must be obtained.

 

 

2.

All Fund Personnel shall instruct their brokers to supply the Chief Compliance Officer, on a timely basis, with duplicate copies of confirmations of all personal securities transactions and copies of all periodic statements for all securities accounts. These documents will be utilized to monitor and maintain compliance with this Code.

 

 

3.

Fund Personnel, other than directors/trustees and officers required to report their personal securities transactions to a registered investment adviser pursuant to Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act, effective February 1, 2005, shall submit quarterly transaction reports showing all transactions in reportable securities as defined herein in which the person has, or by reason of such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership.

 

 

4.

Each director/trustee who is not an "interested person" of the Fund as defined in the Act shall pre-clear and submit quarterly transaction reports as required under subparagraph 3 above, but only for transactions in reportable securities where at the time of the transaction the director knew, or in the ordinary course of fulfilling his/her official duties as a director/trustee should have known, that during the fifteen (15)-day period immediately preceding or following the date of the transaction by the director/trustee such security was purchased or sold by the Fund or was being considered for purchase or sale by the Fund or its investment adviser.

 

 

5.

Every quarterly transaction report required to be made under subparagraphs 3 and 4 above shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar quarter and shall cover all transactions during the quarter. The report shall contain the following information concerning any transaction required to be reported therein:

 

 

 

 

(a)

the date of the transaction;

 

 

 

 

(b)

the title and number of shares, and as applicable the exchange ticker symbol or CUSIP number;

(f)

6.

The Chief Compliance Officer shall identify all Fund Personnel and Non-Access Fund Personnel, who have a duty to make the reports required hereunder, shall inform each such person of such duty, and shall receive and review all reports required hereunder.

 

 

7.

Any employee or officer of a Fund or the Investment Adviser or Principal Underwriter of the Fund shall promptly report any violation he or she uncovers to the Chief Compliance Officer [Rule 204A-1(a)(4)]. The Chief Compliance Officer shall promptly report to the Fund's Board (a) any apparent violation of the prohibitions contained in this Code and (b) any reported transactions in a security which was purchased or sold by the Fund within fifteen (15) days before or after the date of the reported transaction.

 

 

8.

The Fund's Board or a committee of directors/trustees created by the Board for that purpose shall consider reports made to the Board hereunder and shall determine whether or not this Code has been violated and what sanctions, if any, should be imposed.

 

 

9.

This Code, a list of all persons required to make reports hereunder from time to time, a copy of each report made by Fund Personnel and Non-Access Fund Personnel (as applicable), each memorandum made by the Chief Compliance Officer hereunder, and a record of any violation hereof and any action taken as a result of such violation shall be maintained by the Fund as required under the Rule.

 

 

 

 

(a)

Exhibit A

STATEMENT ON INSIDER TRADING

The Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988 ("ITSFEA") requires that all investment advisers and broker-dealers establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures designed to detect and prevent the misuse of material nonpublic information by such investment adviser and/or broker-dealer or any person associated with the investment adviser and/or broker-dealer.

Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act") states that an investment adviser must adopt and disseminate written policies with respect to ITSFEA, and an investment adviser must also vigilantly review, update, and enforce them. Section 204A provides that every person subject to Section 204 of the Advisers Act shall be required to establish procedures to prevent insider trading.

Each investment adviser which acts as such for the Fund and each broker-dealer which acts as principal underwriter for the Fund has adopted the following policy, procedures, and supervisory procedures in addition the Fund's Code of Ethics. Throughout this document the investment advisers and principal underwriters collectively are called the "Providers."

SECTION I. POLICY

The purpose of this Section 1 is to familiarize the officers, directors/governors, and employees of the Providers with issues concerning insider trading and to assist them in putting into context the policy and procedures on insider trading.

Policy Statement:

No person to whom this Statement on Insider Trading applies, including officers, directors/governors, and employees, may trade, either personally or on behalf of others (such as mutual funds and private accounts managed by a Provider) while in the possession of material nonpublic information; nor may any officer, director/governor, or employee of a Provider communicate material nonpublic information to others in violation of the law. This conduct is frequently referred to as "insider trading." This policy applies to every officer, director/governor, and employee of a Provider and extends to activities within and outside their duties as a Provider. It covers not only personal transactions of covered persons, but also indirect trading by family, friends, and others or the nonpublic distribution of inside information from you to others. Every officer, director/governor, and employee must read and retain a copy of this policy statement. Any questions regarding the policy and procedures should be referred to the Chief Compliance Officer.

The term "insider trading" is not defined in the Federal securities laws but generally is used to refer to the use of material nonpublic information to trade in securities (whether or not one is an "insider") or the communications of material nonpublic information to others who may then seek to benefit from such information.

While the law concerning insider trading is not static, it is generally understood that the law prohibits:

 

 

 

 

(a)

trading by an insider, while in possession of material nonpublic information, or

 

 

 

 

(b)

trading by a non-insider, while in the possession of material nonpublic information, where the information either was disclosed to the non-insider in violation of an insider's duty to keep it confidential or was misappropriated; or

 

 

 

 

(c)

communicating material nonpublic information to others.

The elements of insider trading and the penalties for such unlawful conduct are discussed below.

1.

Who is an insider? The concept of "insider" is broad. It includes officers, directors/governors, and employees of a company. In addition, a person can be a "temporary insider" if he or she enters into a special confidential relationship in the conduct of a company's affairs and as a result is given access to information solely for the company's purposes. A temporary insider can include, among others, a company's attorneys, accountants, consultants, bank lending officers, and the employees of such organizations. In addition, an investment adviser may become a temporary insider of a company it advises or for which it performs other services. According to the Supreme Court, the company must expect the outsider to keep the disclosed nonpublic information confidential, and the relationship must at least imply such a duty before the outsider will be considered an insider.

 

 

2.

What is material information? Trading on inside information can be the basis for liability when the information is material. In general, information is "material" when there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making his or her investment decisions or information that is reasonably certain to have a substantial effect on the price of a company's securities. Information that officers, directors/governors, and employees should consider material includes, but is not limited to: dividend changes, earnings estimates, changes in previously released earnings estimates, significant merger or acquisition proposals or agreements, major litigation, liquidation problems, and extraordinary management developments.

 

 

3.

What is nonpublic information? Information is nonpublic until it has been effectively communicated to the marketplace. One must be able to point to some fact to show that the information is generally public. For example, information found in a report filed with the SEC, or appearing in Dow Jones, Reuters Economic Services, The Wall Street Journal, or other publications of general circulation would be considered public. (Depending on the nature of the information and the type and timing of the filing or other public release, it may be appropriate to allow for adequate time for the information to be "effectively" disseminated.)

 

 

4.

Reason for liability. (a) Fiduciary duty theory. In 1980 the Supreme Court found that there is no general duty to disclose before trading on material nonpublic information but that such a duty arises only where there is a direct or indirect fiduciary relationship with the issuer or its agents. That is, there must be a relationship between the parties to the transaction such that one party has a right to expect that the other party will disclose any material nonpublic information or refrain from trading. (b) Misappropriation theory. Another basis for insider trading liability is the "misappropriation" theory, where liability is established when trading occurs on material nonpublic information that was stolen or misappropriated from any other person.

 

 

5.

Penalties for insider trading. Penalties for trading on or communicating material nonpublic information are severe, both for individuals and their employers. A person can be subject to some or all of the penalties below even if he or she does not personally benefit from the violation. Penalties include:

 

 

 

 

civil injunctions

 

 

 

 

treble damages

 

 

 

 

disgorgement of profits

 

 

 

 

jail sentences

 

 

 

 

fines for the person who committed the violation of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided, whether or not the person actually benefited

 

 

 

 

fines for the employer or other controlling person of up to the greater of $1 million or three times amount of the profit gained or loss avoided

 

In addition, any violation of this policy statement can be expected to result in serious sanctions by a Provider, including dismissal of the persons involved.

SECTION II. PROCEDURES

 

The following procedures have been established to aid the officers, directors/governors, and employees of a Provider in avoiding insider trading and to aid in preventing, detecting, and imposing sanctions against insider trading. Every officer, director, and employee of a Provider must follow these procedures or risk serious sanctions including dismissal, substantial personal liability, and/or criminal penalties. If you have any questions about these procedures, you should consult the compliance officer.

 

1.

Identifying inside information. Before trading for yourself or others, including investment companies or private accounts managed by a Provider, in the securities of a company about which you may have potential inside information, ask yourself the following questions:

 

 

 

 

(i.)

Is the information material? Is this information that an investor would consider important in making his or her investment decisions? Is this information that would substantially affect the market price of the securities if generally disclosed?

 

 

 

 

(ii.)

Is the information nonpublic? To whom has this information been provided? Has the information been effectively communicated to the marketplace by being published in Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, or other publications of general circulation?

 

 

 

 

If, after consideration of the above, you believe that the information is material and nonpublic or if you have questions as to whether the information is material and nonpublic, you should take the following steps:

 

 

 

 

(a)

Report the matter immediately to the Chief Compliance Officer.

 

 

 

 

(b)

Do not purchase or sell the security on behalf of yourself or others, including investment companies or private accounts managed by a Provider.

 

 

 

 

(c)

Do not communicate the information to anybody, other than the Chief Compliance Officer.

 

 

 

 

(d)

After the Chief Compliance Officer has reviewed the issue, you will be instructed to either continue the prohibitions against trading and communication or you will be allowed to communicate the information and then trade.

 

 

2.

Personal security trading. All officers, directors/governors, and employees of a Provider (other than officers, directors, and employees who are required to report their securities transactions to a registered investment company in accordance with a Code of Ethics) shall submit to the Chief Compliance Officer, on a quarterly basis or at such lesser intervals as may be required from time to time, a report of every reportable securities transaction in which they, their families (including the spouse, minor children, and adults living in the same household as the officer, director/governor, or employee), and trusts of which they are trustees or in which they have a beneficial interest have participated. The report shall include the name of the security, date of the transaction, quantity, price, and broker-dealer through which the transaction was effected. All officers, directors/governors, and employees must also instruct their brokers to supply the Chief Compliance Officer, on a timely basis, with duplicate copies of confirmations of all personal securities transactions and copies of all periodic statements for all securities accounts.

 

 

3.

Restricting access to material nonpublic information. Any information in your possession that you identify as material and nonpublic may not be communicated other than in the course of performing your duties to anyone, including persons within the company, except as provided in paragraph 1 above. In addition, care should be taken so that such information is secure. For example, files containing material nonpublic information should be sealed; access to computer files containing material nonpublic information should be restricted.

 

 

4.

Resolving issues concerning insider trading. If, after consideration of the items set forth in paragraph 1, doubt remains as to whether information is material or nonpublic, or if there is any unresolved question as to the applicability or interpretation of the foregoing procedures, or as to the propriety of any action, it must be discussed with the Chief Compliance Officer before trading or communicating the information to anyone.

SECTION III. SUPERVISION

The role of the Chief Compliance Officer is critical to the implementation and maintenance of this Statement on Insider Trading. These supervisory procedures can be divided into two classifications: (1) the prevention of insider trading, and (2) the detection of insider trading.

1.

Prevention of insider trading:

 

 

 

To prevent insider trading, the Chief Compliance Officer should:

 

 

 

(a)

answer promptly any questions regarding the Statement on Insider Trading;

 

 

 

 

(b)

resolve issues of whether information received by an officer, director/governor, or employee is material and nonpublic;

 

 

 

 

(c)

review and ensure that officers, directors, and employees review, at least annually, and update as necessary, the Statement on Insider Trading; and

 

 

 

 

(d)

when it has been determined that an officer, director/governor, or employee has material nonpublic information,

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

implement measures to prevent dissemination of such information, and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

if necessary, restrict officers, directors/governors, and employees from trading the securities.

 

 

 

2.

Detection of insider trading:

 

 

 

 

To detect insider trading, the Chief Compliance Officer should:

 

 

 

 

(a)

review the trading activity reports filed by each officer, director, and employee to ensure no trading took place in securities in which the Provider has material nonpublic information;

 

 

 

 

(b)

review the trading activity of the mutual funds managed by the investment adviser and the mutual funds for which the broker-dealer acts as principal underwriter; and

 

 

 

 

(c)

coordinate, if necessary, the review of such reports with other appropriate officers, directors, or employees of a Provider and the Fund.

 

 

3.

Special reports to management:

 

 

 

Promptly upon learning of a potential violation of the Statement on Insider Trading, the Chief Compliance Officer must prepare a written report to management of the Provider and provide a copy of such report to the Board providing full details and recommendations for further action.

 

 

4.

Annual reports:

 

 

 

On an annual basis, the Chief Compliance Officer of each Provider will prepare a written report to the management of the Provider and provide a copy of such report to the Board setting forth the following:

 

 

 

(a)

a summary of the existing procedures to detect and prevent insider trading;

 

 

 

 

(b)

full details of any investigation, either internal or by a regulatory agency, of any suspected insider trading and the results of such investigation; and

 

 

 

 

(c)

an evaluation of the current procedures and any recommendations for improvement.
