Shareholders’ Letter |
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
We are pleased to present the Kinetics Mutual Funds (“Funds”) Report for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017. Financial market performance during the first half of the year has been highly contradictory, as bond yields, economic growth and inflation rates suggest a far less sanguine environment than is reflected by the steep gains achieved by the equity markets. The broader domestic equity market, defined as the S&P 500 Index (“S&P 500”), rose over 9% in the first half of 2017, while the NASDAQ 100 Index (“NASDAQ 100”) rose nearly 17% during the same period. The NASDAQ 100, by its own definition, is a concentrated index, with over 42% of its exposure in the top five positions. We refer to the S&P 500 as the broader domestic market, for lack of a better term, but it has come to be dominated by these same five companies, which have an average price to earnings multiple greater than 55x.
It can be assumed from the price appreciation of these stocks, and in turn, the index levels, that investors are confident that these companies can continue their rapid growth in spite of lackluster economic expansion. This confidence can be quantified by the market performance of “growth” versus “value” companies this year, with the S&P 500 Growth Index’s performance surpassing that of the S&P 500 Value Index by nearly 8.5% year-to-date. How can this growth optimism be reconciled with the projected long-term GDP growth of 1.8% (per the ever optimistic Federal Reserve Board members) and long-term core inflation of 2%? Generally speaking, revenue growth for corporations approximates nominal GDP growth over time; given the figures in the preceding sentence, we would expect this revenue growth to be less than 4%. Furthermore, GDP growth, for all the variability in its estimates, is simply the sum of growth in employment and productivity. At 4.4% current unemployment, the United States is widely believed to have reached full employment, while productivity growth has averaged approximately 1.2% annually since the last recession.
2
To place this long-term growth proposition into context, the S&P 500 is currently trading at approximately 24x trailing earnings, although the earnings are expected to increase by nearly 12% by year-end, lowering the multiple to slightly over 21x if these estimates are achieved. Furthermore, analysts expect the index to earn an additional 13% in 2018, or nearly 27% above the current run-rate, amounting to a forward multiple of approximately 19x. The analysts cite “bottom-up” analysis as driving these estimates; individual company earnings are estimated, then aggregated. However, based upon the aggregated data, and assuming 4% revenue growth through 2018, the requisite profit margin expansion required to achieve estimated earnings is nearly 180 basis points, up to 10.90%. Since 1990, the S&P 500 has never achieved a profit margin above 9.62%, with the level averaging 6.47% in the period from 1990 until now. Whether the estimated figures are anchored in margin expansion or sales growth, either scenario appears optimistic—and the market is trading at 19x forward earnings in this rose-tinted scenario. Though one could make the argument that anticipated corporate tax reform is a driver of these estimates, we do not believe that this is reflected in the “bottom up” estimates in question.
Continuing along the lines of tax policy reform, the irrational exuberance1 regarding the new administration following the November 2016 election appears to have abated, but, in general, asset values have not corrected. However, fixed income markets indicate the reality of the challenges ahead for the country, economy and administration. The U.S. 2 Year Treasury Bond yielded approximately 0.84% in the month prior to the election, and currently yields approximately 1.37%. Similarly, the U.S. 10 Year Treasury Bond yielded approximately 1.82% in the month prior to the election, and currently yields approximately 2.27%. The 10 Year yields 45 basis points more, while the 2 year yields 53 basis points more—an ominous “flattening” of the yield curve, a phenomenon that, historically, has frequently been a precursor to economic slowdowns. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates three times since the election, equating to a tripling in the reference rate over this time. In addition to
1 | Intentional reference to Alan Greenspan’s speech in December 1996 regarding the equity market bubbles |
3
the Federal Funds rate, the Federal Reserve also sets the interest rate paid on excess reserves (IOER), which has similarly risen by 75 basis points since the election. It is not a sign of economic confidence that the longer-dated Treasury bonds are less sensitive to short-term rate shifts than are shorter term securities; equity markets’ pricing appears to dismiss this reality.
There is a reason why we provide all of this data: it is to elucidate the risks associated with market based equity investments at current valuations. As active managers, we seek to maximize investment returns, but only within a framework of risk management. The widely adopted index funds and ETFs have no consideration of risk control, instead assuming that the markets are an efficient mechanism for pricing risk (although history suggests the contrary). It is unlikely that investors have simply failed to notice the trends discussed above. However, nearly ten years of interest rate suppression has left few investment choices for many investors, particularly those with defined liabilities which they must fund through investment returns. Consider the California State Teacher Retirement System, a state retirement system with approximately $200 billion in assets, which had a $97 billion unfunded pension liability as of the last report. Even this enormous funding gap is predicated on a 7.25% long-term growth in the fund’s assets—the gap would be far greater if lower investment returns were assumed. To understand the magnitude of what this plan requires of its portfolio, consider that the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index, tracking the most liquid U.S. investment grade bonds, currently has a forward yield of approximately 2.25%. This leaves a massive return requirement for equity (and alternative investments). Assume for a moment that the plan allocated 50% of its assets to investment grade bonds; then, the remaining 50% would need to return over 12% annually to meet the 7.25% return goal. The actual allocation of the plan is currently approximately 60% equity, 20% fixed income and 20% alternatives. The sheer size of the plan, coupled with the lackluster returns available in lower-risk fixed income investments, almost necessitates an aggressive exposure to the equity market. Even though an equity market
4
drawdown would be crippling to this plan, the alternative, conservative approach effectively ensures unfunded liabilities in the future.
Fortunately, not all investors face the same predicament as does the California pension plan. Most investors can focus on taking the appropriate risks, at opportune times. We believe that this is the essence of an unconstrained equity mandate; not to simply invest in the broad market at all times and accept the available risk and return. The Kinetics Mutual Funds all emphasize this approach, and we believe that we will be collectively rewarded for this discipline over time.

Investment Commentary |
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
There have been many instances in our collective careers when the price levels of financial assets have appeared detached from fundamental values. Residential real estate values in certain locations come to mind, where purchase prices are frequently well in excess of any quantifiable measure of financial net worth. These assets are, however, luxury goods to be enjoyed by their owners, and an individual’s assessment of value may be well beyond what market forces would suggest. There are similar examples in professional sports teams, wine vineyards and movie studios—the prices at which these assets trade more closely mirror those of novelties than of financial assets. The ultra-rich can justify buying a break-even sports franchise or loss-making acreage in the Napa Valley. Investors in public markets, however, are understandably held to a different standard, one by which the asset valuations are purely financial. Is there any discernable novelty in owning stocks and marveling at their prices on a brokerage statement? We think not; therefore, it is difficult to reconcile ever more irrational prices being assigned to public financial assets.
It bears mention that asset prices are set by human decisions, even in an increasingly automated world (we have written elsewhere about the asset price distortion, but that will not be the topic for this letter). Most investment decisions are motivated by a rational self-interest. Make no mistake, it is in the best interest of nearly all financial market intermediaries (i.e., brokers, bankers, traders et al) for investors to allocate capital into risk assets and shift allocations regularly. The financial market ecosystem depends on these transactions to generate fees, provide liquidity and establish asset prices. The alignment of interest with the actual investor or financial beneficiary, however, is dubious at best. In any event, we have seen the market levitate over the past two years despite a general lack of financial justification. Case in point, the S&P 500 Index (“Index”) has risen by nearly 23% since the third quarter of 2014, at which time the trailing index earnings were approximately $106. The Index is currently expected to earn approximately $105 per share for the twelve months ended June 30, 2017. Thus, the valuation of the Index has risen from approximately 18.6x earnings in Q3 2014, to 23.6x earnings at the end of June 2017. We once argued that lower interest rates facilitated this speculative
6
expansion; however, after nearly halving its level compared to September 2014, the yield on the 10 Year U.S. Treasury now approximates the 2014 level.
Throughout this market appreciation over the past three years, there has been no shortage of market pundits advocating higher equity exposure. The common logic is related to the absolute level of yield available in fixed income markets, and the likelihood of rising interest rates in the future. The problem with this logic is that investing shouldn’t be about choosing among the least bad choices – there are alternatives to this conventional asset allocation methodology, which is precisely what the Kinetics Funds seek to provide. Now that even the most hyperbolic of market advocates must acknowledge that the equity market opportunity is not quite as attractive as it once was, they simply suggest allocations to European and emerging market equities, which should benefit from the stronger U.S. Dollar and have lower valuations than domestic markets. Another shift to a “less bad” option, it would appear.
The music in this rotation of assets will eventually stop—that is all but certain. We choose to prepare for this by avoiding many of the factors that we believe contribute to the current situation. We recall this situation ten years ago, on the precipice of a calamitous global financial crisis. Ten years prior to that, we were in the mature stages of the surging technology market bubble. Those who endured those cycles with attractive long-term returns, as the Funds generally have, tended to emphasize asset management over asset gathering. The self-interest of those employed in the asset management business is to maximize profit, a task far easier achieved in the short-term thorough garnering assets, as opposed to the organic growth of existing capital. This is certainly a central element of the bias of those who continue to promote market based investing. In truth, business longevity, and its benefit to the manager and client alike, accrues through prudence.
We will continue to invest in companies based on compelling, tangible financial metrics, and will continue to eschew opportunities not having them. There is an abundance of such companies at present, but tactical market based allocations will garner little to no exposure to them; they are not well-represented in the indexes, thus, from the perspective of most investors, they might as well not be publicly traded. Such is the market structure. As with all
7
cycles, new opportunities will arise as others wither, and we will remain diligently attuned and ready to harvest gains and allocate capital when appropriate.
The Funds generated returns as follows during the first half of the 2017 year (No-Load Class): The Paradigm Fund +6.91%, The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund +3.50%, The Small Cap Opportunities Fund +4.09%, The Market Opportunities Fund +7.89%, The Internet Fund +13.37%, The Medical Fund +9.13%, The Alternative Income Fund +1.32% and The Global Fund +8.99%. This compares to returns of +9.34% for the S&P 500 Index and +11.48% for the MSCI All Country World Index.
Shareholders can continue to access additional information from our website, www.kineticsfunds.com. This website provides a broad array of information, including recent portfolio holdings, quarterly investment commentaries, conference call transcripts, newsflashes, recent performance data, and online access to account information.
Kinetics offers the following funds to investors:
The Paradigm Fund focuses on companies that are valued attractively and currently have, or are expected to soon have, sustainable high business returns. The Fund has produced attractive risk adjusted returns since its inception, while maintaining amongst the lowest turnover rates in the industry. The Paradigm Fund is Kinetics’ flagship fund.
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund seeks to utilize stock options and fixed-income investments in order to provide investors with equity-like returns, but with more muted volatility. At times, the options strategies of the Fund may cause the manager to purchase equity securities.
The Small Cap Opportunities Fund focuses on undervalued and special situation small capitalization equities that have the potential for rewarding long-term investment results. The same investment fundamentals employed by The Paradigm Fund are used to identify such opportunities.
8
The Medical Fund is a sector fund, offering an investment in scientific discovery within the promising field of medical research, particularly in the development of cancer treatments and therapies. As a sector fund, The Medical Fund is likely to have heightened volatility and is not designed to be a major component of one’s equity exposure.
The Internet Fund is a sector fund that focuses on companies engaged in and/or benefitting from the evolution of Internet-related developments. As such, this Fund has been, and is likely to continue to be, quite volatile. The Internet Fund is not designed to be a major component of one’s equity exposure. More recently, this Fund has been focusing on content companies, which we believe will be the winners in the next generation of Internet development.
The Global Fund is focused on selecting long life cycle international companies that can generate long-term wealth through their business operations. This Fund is presently identifying what we believe to be exciting opportunities in the more developed markets.
The Market Opportunities Fund focuses on those companies that benefit from increasing transactional volume or throughput, such as publicly-traded exchanges and credit card processors, or companies that act as facilitators, such as gaming companies, airports and publicly-traded toll roads.
The Alternative Income Fund seeks to provide current income and gains, with a secondary objective of obtaining long-term growth of capital. The Fund utilizes stock options and fixed-income investments in order generate a total return that exceeds that of most short-term U.S. fixed income indexes, with limited market value variability.

Disclosure
This material is intended to be reviewed in conjunction with a current prospectus, which includes all fees and expenses that apply to a continued investment, as well as information regarding the risk factors, policies and objectives of the Funds. Read it carefully before investing.
Mutual Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Because The Internet Fund, The Medical Fund and The Market Opportunities Fund invest in a single industry or geographic region, their shares are subject to a higher degree of risk than funds with a higher level of diversification. Internet, biotechnology and certain capital markets or gaming stocks are subject to a rate of change in technology, obsolescence and competition that is generally higher than that of other industries, hence they may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations.
International investing [for all Funds] presents special risks including currency exchange fluctuation, government regulations, and the potential for political and economic instability. Accordingly, the share prices for these Funds are expected to be more volatile than that of U.S.-only funds. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.
Because smaller companies [for The Small Cap Opportunities Fund] often have narrower markets and limited financial resources, they present more risk than larger, more well established, companies.
Non-investment grade debt securities [for all Funds], i.e., junk bonds, are subject to greater credit risk, price volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities.
Further, options contain special risks including the imperfect correlation between the value of the option and the value of the underlying asset. Investments [for The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund and The Alternative Income Fund] in futures, swaps and other derivative instruments may result in loss as derivative instruments may be illiquid, difficult to price and leveraged so that small changes may produce disproportionate losses to the Funds. To the extent the Funds segregate assets to cover derivative positions, they may impair their ability to meet current obligations, to honor requests for redemption
10
and to manage the investments in a manner consistent with their respective investment objectives. Purchasing and writing put and call options and, in particular, writing “uncovered” options are highly specialized activities that entail greater than ordinary investment risk.
As non-diversified Funds, except The Global Fund, The Alternative Income Fund and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund, the value of Fund shares may fluctuate more than shares invested in a broader range of industries and companies. Unlike other investment companies that directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, The Kinetics Mutual Funds pursue their investment objectives by investing all of their investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series of the Kinetics Portfolios Trust.
The information concerning the Funds included in the shareholder report contains certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.
The MSCI All Country World Index (MSCI ACWI) and the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) each represent an unmanaged, broad-basket of stocks. They are typically used as a proxy for overall market performance.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Expense Example June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
A shareholder of a mutual fund incurs two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other fund specific expenses. The example is intended to help the shareholder understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a series of Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (each a “Feeder Fund” and collectively the “Feeder Funds”), and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the most recent six-month period.
Actual Expenses
The Actual Expenses comparison provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Unlike other mutual funds that directly acquire and manage their own portfolio securities, each Feeder Fund invests all or generally all of its investable assets in a corresponding series of The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (each, a “Master Portfolio”, and together the “Master Portfolios”), a separately registered investment company. The Master Portfolio, in turn, invests in securities. With this type of organization, expenses can accrue specifically to the Master Portfolio or the Feeder Fund or both. Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the Master Portfolio’s expenses, including directed brokerage credits, on a daily basis. Any expense reductions include Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.
The Feeder Funds will charge shareholder fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and exchanges executed by telephone between a Feeder Fund and any other Feeder Fund. The Feeder Funds’ transfer agent charges a $5.00 transaction fee to shareholder accounts for telephone exchanges between any two Feeder Funds. The Feeder Funds’ transfer agent does not charge a transaction fee for written exchange requests. IRA accounts are assessed a $15.00 annual fee. Finally, as a disincentive to market-timing transactions, the Feeder Funds will assess a 2.00% fee on the redemption or exchange of Fund shares held for less than 30 days. These fees will be paid to the Feeder Funds to help offset transaction costs. The Feeder Funds reserve the right to waive the redemption fee, subject to their sole discretion, in instances deemed not to be disadvantageous to the Feeder Funds or shareholders as described in the Feeder Funds’ prospectus.

KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Expense Example — (Continued) |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
A shareholder may use the information in this line, together with the amounts invested, to estimate the expenses paid over the period. A shareholder may divide his/her account value by $1,000 (e.g., an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses paid on his/her account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Feeder Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Feeder Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses paid for the period. A shareholder may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Feeder Funds and other funds. To do so, a shareholder would compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. The expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, shareholder costs would have been higher.

1. Organization
Kinetics Mutual Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and is incorporated in the State of Maryland. The Company is an open-end management investment company issuing its shares in series. One billion shares are authorized for the Company with a par value of $0.001 per share. The series of the Company presently authorized are The Internet Fund (“Internet”), The Global Fund (“Global”), The Paradigm Fund (“Paradigm”), The Medical Fund (“Medical”), The Small Cap Opportunities Fund (“Small Cap”), The Market Opportunities Fund (“Market Opportunities”), The Alternative Income Fund (“Alternative Income”), and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund (“Multi-Disciplinary Income”). Investment operations of the Company began on October 21, 1996 (Internet), September 30, 1999 (Medical), December 31, 1999 (Global and Paradigm), March 20, 2000 (Small Cap), January 31, 2006 (Market Opportunities), June 29, 2007 (Alternative Income), and February 11, 2008 (Multi-Disciplinary Income). Each series, unlike many other investment companies which directly acquire and manage their own portfolios of securities, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all of its investable assets in a corresponding portfolio series (each a “Master Portfolio” and collectively the “Master Portfolios”) of Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”).
On April 28, 2000 (January 31, 2006, with respect to Market Opportunities, June 29, 2007, with respect to Alternative Income, and February 11, 2008, with respect to Multi-Disciplinary Income), each series in the Company entered into a master-feeder fund structure. By entering into this structure, each series (each a “Feeder Fund” and collectively, the “Feeder Funds”) invested all of its assets in a corresponding Master Portfolio which had the same investment objective as the Feeder Fund. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds. Each Feeder Fund receives a proportionate amount of interest in the Master Portfolio equal to its relative contribution of capital. Thus, each Feeder Fund is allocated its portion of income, gains (losses) and expenses from the Master Portfolio.
37
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
Each Feeder Fund’s respective interest in the corresponding Master Portfolio as of June 30, 2017, is as follows:
Interest in | ||
Master Portfolio | ||
The Internet Fund | 99.982% | |
The Global Fund | 99.912% | |
The Paradigm Fund | 98.116% | |
The Medical Fund | 99.833% | |
The Small Cap Opportunities Fund | 99.972% | |
The Market Opportunities Fund | 99.960% | |
The Alternative Income Fund | 99.564% | |
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Fund | 99.688% |
Prior to the conversion to a master-feeder fund structure on April 28, 2000, each then existing series conducted its own investment operations.
As of June 30, 2017, each of the Feeder Funds offers Advisor Class A shares. Advisor Class A shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. The Advisor Class A shares are also subject to a front-end sales charge of 5.75%.
As of June 30, 2017, each of the Feeder Funds offers Advisor Class C shares. Advisor Class C shares are subject to an annual Rule 12b-1 fee of 0.75% of average daily net assets and a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets. If you sell your Advisor Class C shares within 12 months of purchase, you will have to pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00%, which is applied to the NAV of the shares on the date of original purchase or on the date of redemption, whichever is less.
As of June 30, 2017, each of the Feeder Funds offers No Load Class shares. No Load Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of average daily net assets but do not have 12b-1 fees or a sales charge.
As of June 30, 2017, the Paradigm, Small Cap, Market Opportunities, Alternative Income, and Multi-Disciplinary Income Funds offer Institutional Class shares. Institutional Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of 0.20% of average daily net assets but do not have 12b-1 fees or a sales
38

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
charge. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive the portion of the Institutional Class shareholder servicing fee in excess of 0.05%.
Each class of shares for each Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the Rule 12b-1 fees paid by the Advisor Class A and Advisor Class C shares, the front-end sales charge on the Advisor Class A shares, the contingent deferred sales charge on Class C, the shareholder servicing fees paid by the Advisor Class A, Advisor Class C, No Load Class and Institutional Class shares, voting rights on matters pertaining to a single class of shares and the exchange privileges of each class of shares. Shares of each Feeder Fund will assess a 2.00% redemption fee (with exceptions) on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class based on its relative net assets.
Refer to the Master Portfolios’ financial statements to obtain information about the investment objective of the corresponding Feeder Fund. The financial statements of the Master Portfolios, including the portfolios of investments, are contained elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Feeder Funds’ financial statements.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation
Master Portfolio securities that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Foreign securities are valued by an independent pricing service. In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Futures, options on futures and
39
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
swap contracts that are listed or traded on a national securities exchange, commodities exchange, contract market or over-the-counter markets and are freely transferable will be valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. If a composite option price is not available, then a quote provided by one of the authorized pricing vendors will be used. If neither a composite price or quote from an authorized pricing provider is available, and it is the day of expiration or post-expiration, expiring options will be priced at intrinsic value. Non-exchange-traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked quotations. Debt obligations (including convertible securities) that are either investment grade or below investment grade and irrespective of days to maturity are valued at evaluated mean by one of the authorized third party pricing agents which rely on various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Certain instruments, such as repurchase agreements and demand notes, do not have values from third parties and are valued at amortized cost. Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds are valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”).
Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolios. In determining the fair value of a security, the Board of Trustees shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Adviser or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Adviser; (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security; and (viii) the value of a foreign security

traded on other foreign markets. At June 30, 2017, 0.08% and 0.00% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio and The Paradigm Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities. The other Master Portfolios did not hold any fair valued securities at June 30, 2017.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolios receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 102% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.
Written Options
The Master Portfolios may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the Master Portfolio is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or unencumbered, liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for

put options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.
Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities
The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. The 144A securities have been deemed to be liquid by the Master Portfolios Advisor under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. At June 30, 2017, the following Master Portfolios held securities restricted to institutional investors (144A securities):
Percentage of | |||||||
Market Value | Net Assets | ||||||
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | $ | 13,428,015 | 23.79 | % |
An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at

The Internet Portfolio | $ | 92,740 | 0.08 | % | |||
The Paradigm Portfolio | — | * | 0.00 | % | |||
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | 189,000 | 0.33 | % |
* | Amount is less than $0.50 |
When-Issued Securities
The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities. The Master Portfolios maintain at all times cash or other liquid assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for when-issued securities.
Securities Lending
Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker-dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 33 1/3% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.

Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by Feeder Funds are allocated among the Feeder Funds (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Feeder Funds, depending on the nature of the expenditure.
Each Feeder Fund records its proportionate share of the corresponding Master Portfolio’s expenses on a daily basis. In addition, each Feeder Fund accrues its own separate expenses. Any cap on expenses includes Feeder Fund-specific expenses as well as the expenses allocated from the Master Portfolio.
Federal Income Taxes
Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in the Master Portfolio via its investment in a Feeder Fund will be subject to taxation on its share of the Master Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that the Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio via its investment in a Feeder Fund can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
It is the Feeder Funds’ policy to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Feeder Funds intend to distribute investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is recorded.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expenses and gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. Additionally, the Feeder Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between capital accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax
44
KINETICS MUTUAL FUNDS, INC. — THE FEEDER FUNDS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
returns. As of June 30, 2017, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2013, through 2016. The Feeder Funds are 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 six months.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method. Other noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Company’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
3. Investment Adviser
The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Kinetics Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Master Portfolios. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Kinetics LLC. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Master Portfolios, except the Alternative Income Portfolio, compensate the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.25% of each Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The Alternative Income Portfolio compensates the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 0.90% of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
The Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses as deemed appropriate through at least May 1, 2018. The Adviser may discontinue the waiver/reimbursement at any time after

Notes to Financial Statements |

1. Organization
The Kinetics Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware Statutory Trust on March 14, 2000, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company issuing its beneficial interests in series, each series representing a distinct portfolio with its own investment objective and policies. The series currently authorized are: The Internet Portfolio, The Global Portfolio, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Medical Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio, The Market Opportunities Portfolio, The Alternative Income Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio (collectively, the “Master Portfolios”). Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Master Portfolios, are “non-diversified” series of the Trust, except The Global Portfolio, The Alternative Income Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio. The Market Opportunities Portfolio commenced operations on January 31, 2006, The Alternative Income Portfolio commenced operations on June 29, 2007 and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio commenced operations on February 11, 2008. Each of the remaining Master Portfolios commenced operations on April 28, 2000.
Each Master Portfolio is a Master Investment Portfolio in a master-feeder fund structure. Each Master Portfolio has multiple feeder funds invested in the Master Portfolio. By contributing assets to the Master Portfolio, the feeder funds receive a beneficial interest in the Master Portfolio. The Master Portfolio then invests the contributed assets in portfolio securities and allocates income, gains (losses) and expenses to the feeder funds based on the feeder funds’ proportionate interests in the Master Portfolio.
Each of the Master Portfolios, except for The Alternative Income Portfolio and The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio, seeks to provide investors with long-term capital growth. The Alternative Income Portfolio seeks to provide current income and gains. The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio seeks to provide investors with total return. The Internet Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in the Internet and Internet-related activities. The Global Portfolio generally invests in the equity securities of foreign companies that have the ability to facilitate an increase in the growth of their traditional business lines and in U.S. companies benefiting from international economic growth. The Paradigm Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies that the investment adviser believes are undervalued and that have high returns on equity and are well

positioned to reduce their costs, extend the reach of their distribution channels and experience significant growth in their assets or revenues. The Medical Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in medical research, pharmaceutical treatments and related medical technology industries and related technology industries, generally, with a focus on companies engaged in cancer research and drug development. The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign small capitalized companies that provide attractive valuation opportunities due to special situations such as lack of institutional ownership, lack of significant analyst coverage or companies with sound fundamentals that have experienced a short-term earnings shortfall. The Market Opportunities Portfolio invests primarily in the equity securities of U.S. and foreign companies engaged in capital markets or related to capital markets, as well as companies involved in the gaming industry. The Alternative Income and Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolios utilize a two-part investment strategy, which includes fixed income and derivatives components.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation
Master Portfolio securities that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the day the valuation is made. Price information on listed securities is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. All equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, that are traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Foreign securities are valued by an independent pricing service. In the event market quotations are not readily available or if events occur that may materially affect the value of a particular security between the time trading ends on a particular security and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), “fair value” will be determined. Unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last bid price. Futures, options on futures and swap contracts that are listed or traded on a national securities exchange, commodities exchange, contract market or over-the-counter markets and are freely transferable will be valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted,
135
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. If a composite option price is not available, then a quote provided by one of the authorized pricing vendors will be used. If neither a composite price or quote from an authorized pricing provider is available, and it is the day of expiration or post-expiration, expiring options will be priced at intrinsic value. Non-exchange-traded options for which over-the-counter quotations are not readily available are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked quotations. Debt obligations (including convertible securities) that are either investment grade or below investment grade and irrespective of days to maturity are valued at evaluated mean by one of the authorized third party pricing agents which rely on various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Certain instruments, such as repurchase agreements and demand notes, do not have values from third parties and are valued at amortized cost. Investments in registered open-end investment companies (including money market funds), other than exchange-traded funds are valued at their reported net asset value (“NAV”).
Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available (including restricted securities) will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods determined by the Board of Trustees of the Master Portfolios. In determining the fair value of a security, the Board of Trustees shall take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security; (iv) the recommendation of the portfolio manager of the Portfolios with respect to the valuation of the security; (v) whether the same or similar securities are held by other funds managed by the Adviser or other funds and the method used to price the security in those funds; (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by third parties independent of the Adviser; (vii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the security; and (viii) the value of a foreign security traded on other foreign markets. At June 30, 2017, 0.08% and 0.00% of the net assets of The Internet Portfolio and The Paradigm Portfolio, respectively, were fair valued securities. The other Master Portfolios did not hold any fair valued securities at June 30, 2017.

Repurchase Agreements
Each Master Portfolio may enter into repurchase agreements with banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System or securities dealers who are members of a national securities exchange or are primary dealers in U.S. Government Securities. In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Trust’s policy that the Master Portfolio receive, as collateral, securities whose market value, including accrued interest, at all times will be at least equal to 102% of the amount invested by the Master Portfolio in each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults, and the value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Master Portfolio may be delayed or limited.
Written Options
The Master Portfolios may write (sell) call or put options for trading or hedging purposes. When a Master Portfolio writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Master Portfolio is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset and an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. By writing the option, the Master Portfolio may become obligated during the term of the option to deliver or purchase the securities underlying the option at the exercise price if the option is exercised. When an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or the Master Portfolio enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss if the cost of the closing transaction differs from the premium received when the option was sold, without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security, and the liability related to such option is eliminated. When an option is exercised, the premium originally received decreases the cost basis of the underlying security (or increases the proceeds on the security sold short) and the Master Portfolio realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the security (or closing of the short sale). As collateral for uncovered written options, the Master Portfolio is required under the 1940 Act to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or unencumbered, liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the exercise price of the purchase obligation for put options or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract for call options.
Foreign Currency Translations
The books and records of the Master Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. For the Master Portfolios, foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S.
137

Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
dollars on the following basis: (i) market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved pricing service, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Master Portfolios do not isolate and treat as ordinary income that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the exchange rate from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities held during the period. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. However, for federal income tax purposes, the Master Portfolios do isolate and treat as ordinary income the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising from actual foreign currency transactions and the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates arising between trade date and settlement date.
Restricted and Illiquid Securities
The Master Portfolios may invest in restricted securities. These securities are valued by the Master Portfolios after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions and the issuer’s financial performance. The Master Portfolios have no right to require registration of unregistered securities. The 144A securities have been deemed to be liquid by the Master Portfolios Advisor under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. At June 30, 2017, the following Master Portfolios held securities restricted to institutional investors (144A Securities):
Percentage of | ||||||||
Market Value | Net Assets | |||||||
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | $ | 13,428,015 | 23.79 | % | ||||
An illiquid asset is any asset which may not be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the Master Portfolio has valued the investment. At June 30, 2017, the following Master Portfolios held illiquid securities:
Percentage of | ||||||||
Market Value | Net Assets | |||||||
The Internet Portfolio | $ | 92,740 | 0.08 | % | ||||
The Paradigm Portfolio | — | * | 0.00 | % | ||||

When-Issued Securities
The Master Portfolios may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. Although the purchase amounts of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date. The Master Portfolios record purchases of when-issued securities and reflect the values of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio securities. The Master Portfolios maintain at all times cash or other liquid assets in an amount at least equal to the amount of outstanding commitments for when-issued securities.
Securities Lending
Each Master Portfolio may lend its portfolio securities to broker-dealers by entering directly into lending arrangements with such broker dealers or indirectly through repurchase agreements with respect to no more than 331/3% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (including any collateral posted) or 50% of the total assets of each Master Portfolio (excluding any collateral posted). Securities lending and repurchase transactions will be fully collateralized at all times with cash and/or short-term debt obligations. The Master Portfolios receive interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned.
Significant Investments
The Portfolios may invest a greater percentage of their assets in one or more individual securities at any time. The greater percentage of assets in individual securities (not including short-term investments) expose the Portfolios to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions, the risks particular to a single company or security, and the risk of potentially lower liquidity. At June 30, 2017, The Paradigm Portfolio, The Small Cap Opportunities Portfolio and The Market Opportunities Portfolio invested approximately 24%, 22% and 19% of their respective net assets in individual securities.
Short-Term Investments
The Portfolios may invest in money market funds and short-term high quality debt securities such as commercial paper, repurchase agreements and certificates of deposit. Money market funds typically invest in short-term
139
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
instruments and attempt to maintain a stable net asset value. While the risk is low, these funds may lose value.
Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated among the Master Portfolios (i) based upon relative average net assets, (ii) as incurred on a specific identification basis, or (iii) equally among the Master Portfolios, depending on the nature of the expenditure. All expenses incurred by the Master Portfolios are allocated to the Feeder Funds daily based on their proportionate interests in the respective Master Portfolios.
Federal Income Taxes
Each Master Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As such, each investor in a Master Portfolio will be subject to taxation on its share of the Master Portfolio’s ordinary income and capital gains. It is intended that each Master Portfolio’s assets will be managed so an investor in the Master Portfolio can satisfy the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns. As of June 30, 2017, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2013, through 2016. The Master Portfolios are 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 six months.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Other
Realized gains and losses on the sale of investments are calculated on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accounted for on the accrual basis and includes amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on the effective interest method. Other

noncash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
3. Investment Adviser
The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Agreements”) with Kinetics Asset Management LLC (the “Adviser”), with whom certain Officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Master Portfolios. The Adviser is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Horizon Kinetics LLC. Under the terms of the Agreements, the Master Portfolios, except the Alternative Income Portfolio, compensate the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.25% of each Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets. The Alternative Income Portfolio compensates the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 0.90% of the Master Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, Master Portfolios incurred the following expenses pursuant to the Agreements:
Investment Advisory Fees | |||||
The Internet Portfolio | $ | 718,485 | |||
The Global Portfolio | 50,035 | ||||
The Paradigm Portfolio | 4,798,171 | ||||

The Market Opportunities Portfolio | 274,576 | ||||
The Alternative Income Portfolio | 127,507 | ||||
The Multi-Disciplinary Income Portfolio | 475,296 | ||||
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Trust was allocated $13,000 for the services of the Chief Compliance Officer employed by the Adviser.
4. Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts by Trustees of Kinetics Portfolio Trust
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust held on March 23, 2017, the Board, including all of the Trustees who are not interested persons under the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the Agreements with respect to each Master Portfolio. In reaching a decision to renew the Advisory
141
KINETICS PORTFOLIOS TRUST — MASTER INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS |
Notes to Financial Statements — (Continued) |
June 30, 2017 (Unaudited) |
Agreements, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, considered, among; (1) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser including, but not limited to, a review of the complexity of the services provided and whether the services are provided in a satisfactory and efficient manner; (2) the performance of the Funds over the one-, three-, five-and ten-year periods, as applicable ended December 31, 2016, and as compared to the relevant Lipper peer group, as well as the performance of the Funds as compared to their respective benchmark indices; (3) the contractual and actual compensation paid under the Agreements as compared to the compensation for the funds in the relevant peer group; (4) the expense ratios of the Funds, after expense waivers, as compared to expense ratios for relevant peer groups, along with relevant alternative methods to calculate fee structures; (5) the experience and qualifications of the Adviser’s personnel and the Adviser’s portfolio management capabilities and investment methodologies; (6) the extent to which economies of scale are relevant given the current asset size and current asset growth potential; (7) the financial condition of the Adviser; (8) the cost of services provided by the Adviser and the Adviser’s profitability from each Fund for the year ended December 31, 2016; (9) the “fall-out” benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the Companies; (10) the Adviser’s operations, compliance program and policies with respect to the Code of Ethics; (11) that each Fund and each Portfolio is designed for long-term investors; and (12) the policies and procedures that are in place to address, among other things, informational and cyber-related security.
The Lipper peer group information was provided by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Trust’s administrator. The Independent Trustees also discussed the continuing viability of the Master Portfolios.
The Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that: they were satisfied with the quality of services provided by the Adviser in advising the Master Portfolios, the profits earned by the Adviser were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Master Portfolio; and that each Master Portfolio was not large enough to attain significant economies of scale. Based on the factors considered, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that it was appropriate to renew the Agreements.

6. Portfolio Securities Loaned
As of June 30, 2017, the Master Portfolios had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral is invested by the custodian in a money market pooled account approved by the Adviser. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Master Portfolio could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. The Master Portfolio receives interest on the collateral received as well as a fee for the securities loaned. The Master Portfolios will continue to receive dividends and interest on all securities loaned. Gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be accounted for by the Master Portfolios. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions. As the securities loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time, the remaining maturities of the outstanding securities lending transactions are considered to be overnight and continuous. The value

8. Summary of Fair Value Exposure
Various inputs are used in determining the value of a Master Portfolio’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that a Master Portfolio has the ability to access. | |
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. | |
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing a Master Portfolio’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

10. | Offsetting Assets and Liabilities |
The Master Portfolios are subject to various Master Netting Arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The Master Netting Arrangements allow a Portfolio to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The Master Netting Arrangements also specify collateral posting arrangements at prearranged exposure levels. Under the Master Netting Arrangements, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant Master Netting Arrangement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specific

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.
