SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
September 30, 2009
www.plumbfunds.com
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
Stock markets around the world have staged a robust recovery from the March lows. For the six months ended September 30, 2009, the Plumb Balanced Fund returned 22.93% and the Plumb Equity Fund returned 29.58%. Over the same period, the 65/35 blend of the S&P 500 Index and Barclays Capital Government Corporate Bond
Index returned 21.76% and the S&P 500 Index was up 34.02%.
Virtually none of the increase in stock prices to date has come from earnings growth; it has been a price-earnings recovery. We believe any sustained stock market advance from here is going to have to be fueled by true economic recovery and earnings growth. If we are right, this leg of the recovery favors companies
with strong balance sheets and real competitive advantages in long-term growth markets.
Our concerns stem primarily from the continued weakness in the financial sector and that headwinds we see in the housing and commercial real estate markets will pressure bank balance sheets well into 2010. Consequently, we did not fully participate in the recovery in financial stocks that led this early stage of stock market
recovery. Our portfolio is positioned towards technology and large multinational companies with exposure to developing markets that we feel should perform well even if the United States trails the rest of the world in coming out of the recession. Our bonds are short-term in nature seeking to protect against an eventual increase in interest rates we expect to occur when the Federal Reserve attempts to remove liquidity from the market.
Among our equity holdings, the return drivers were Cisco Systems, Tyco International, Cadbury PLC, DuPont De Nemours, and Heartland Payment Systems. Performance detractors included Corinthian Colleges, Wal-Mart Stores, ConocoPhillips, and Genzyme. We have since sold some of these companies, while increasing our investment
in the ones we consider to be even more promising and offered at an even better price.
As the market has appreciated, we have maintained our conservative posture. We believe that the most attractive investments on a risk-adjusted basis are the large multinational companies with strong balance sheets that trade at attractive valuations. Due to the problems we see in the banking sector, we continue to
avoid investments in that area. We expect substantial volatility in the financial sector with periodic buying opportunities for quite some time. We recognize that there are real problems in the economy; business defaults and unemployment will likely continue to rise, even possibly beyond most people’s current expectations. Many more financial institution issues still need to be resolved. We believe we are buying solid companies at attractive prices that will report
strong earnings over the longer term. We are optimistic about the opportunities we expect to see over the horizon.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Plumb
Portfolio Manager
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the schedule of investments in this report for complete holdings information. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject
to risk.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The funds may invest in smaller companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Temporary defensive positions - Under adverse market conditions the funds could invest a substantial portion of their assets in US
Treasury Securities and money market securities, which could reduce the benefit from any upswing in the market.
The Plumb Balanced Fund will invest in debt securities, which typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.
The fund may engage in short-term trading, which could produce higher transaction costs and taxable distributions and lower the fund’s after tax performance. Investment in asset backed and mortgage backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
The 65/35 blend is a weighted average consisting of 65% weight of the S&P 500’s returns and a 35% weight of the Barclays Capital Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index returns. The S&P 500 Index is a broad based unmanaged index of 500 stocks, which is widely recognized as representative of the equity market in
general. The Barclays Capital Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged index which includes nonconvertible bonds publicly issued by the U.S. government or its agencies; corporate bonds guaranteed by the U.S. government and quasi-federal corporations; and publicly issued, fixed rate, nonconvertible domestic bonds of companies in industry, public utilities, and finance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Expense Example
September 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Plumb Funds (the “Funds”), you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds
and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2009 – September 30, 2009).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. However, the table does not include shareholder specific fees such as the $15.00 fee charged for wire redemptions. The table also does not include portfolio trading commissions
and related trading costs. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table on the following page provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The
hypothetical account values and 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, which, although not charged by the Funds, may be charged by other funds. Therefore,
the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2009 (Unaudited)
1.ORGANIZATION
Wisconsin Capital Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The Company was organized as a Maryland corporation on April 3, 2007. The Company is authorized
to issue up to 2 billion shares, which are units of beneficial interest with a $0.001 par value. The Company currently offers shares of two series, each with its own investment strategy and risk/reward profile: the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund (individually a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”). The investment objective of the Plumb Balanced Fund is high total return through capital appreciation while attempting to preserve principal, with current income as a secondary objective.
The investment objective of the Plumb Equity Fund is long-term capital appreciation. Wisconsin Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) serves as the Funds’ investment advisor.
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation:
Portfolio securities which are traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price reported by the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded on the day of valuation. If there are no sales on a given day for securities traded on an exchange, the latest bid quotation
will be used. If there is no Nasdaq Official Closing Price for a Nasdaq-listed security or sale price available for an over-the-counter security, the mean of the latest bid and asked quotations from Nasdaq will be used. Debt securities for which market quotations are not readily available may be valued based on information supplied by independent pricing services, including services using matrix pricing formulas and/or independent broker bid quotations. Debt securities with remaining
maturities of 60 days or less may be valued on an amortized cost basis, which involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating rates on the market value of the instrument. Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor pursuant to procedures established under the general supervision
and responsibility of the Funds’ Board of Directors.
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2009 (Unaudited) (Continued)
Use of Estimates:
The presentation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Expenses:
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one series of the Company are allocated among the respective series based on relative net assets or another appropriate basis.
Federal Income Taxes:
The Funds intend to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all net investment taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to
the Funds. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Funds may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the recognition and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Any
such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds. For the fiscal period ended March 31, 2009, $17 for the Plumb Balanced Fund was reclassified from accumulated realized loss on investment to undistributed net investment income, and $6,305 was reclassified from paid in capital to undistributed net investment income for both the Plumb Balanced Fund and Plumb Equity Fund.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
The Funds have adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2009 (Unaudited) (Continued)
for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed
below.
|
Level 1 – |
quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
|
Level 2 – |
other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
|
Level 3 – |
significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of September 30, 2009, involving the Funds’ assets carried at value. The inputs of methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2009 (Unaudited) (Continued)
Subsequent Events Evaluation
In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure resulting from subsequent events through November 24, 2009, the date financial statements were available to be issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent
events that necessitated disclosure and/or adjustments.
3.DISTRIBUTION PLAN
The Company has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”), on behalf of the Funds, which authorizes it to pay Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) a distribution fee of 0.25% of the Funds’ average daily net assets for
services to prospective Fund shareholders and distribution of Fund shares. During the period ended September 30, 2009, the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund incurred expenses of $49,099 and $15,986, respectively, pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan. As of September 30, 2009, $12,979 and $1,368 for the Plumb Balanced Fund and Plumb Equity Fund, respectively, were accrued.
4.INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND OTHER AFFILIATES
The Funds have an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wisconsin Capital Management, LLC. The Advisory Agreement provides for advisory fees computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Funds’ average daily net assets.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor has contractually agreed to limit the expenses until June 30, 2010, to the extent that the Funds total annual operating expenses exceed 1.10% and 1.20% for the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund, respectively. Any such waiver
or reimbursement is subject to later adjustment to allow the Advisor to recoup amounts waived or reimbursed to the extent actual fees and expenses for a period are less than the expense limitation caps, provided, however, that the Advisor shall only be entitled to recoup such amounts for a period of three years from the date such amount was waived or reimbursed. For the six-months ended September 30, 2009, the Advisor waived expenses for the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund of $114,650 and $73,681,
respectively.
The following table shows the remaining waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery expiring in:
Plumb Balanced Fund |
Plumb Equity Fund |
2011 $231,096 |
2011 $153,281 |
2012 $213,244 |
2012 $137,938 |
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2009 (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Funds also have an Administrative and Accounting Services Agreement with the Advisor which provides for the administrative and accounting fees computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Funds’ average daily net assets.
5.INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
For the six months ended September 30, 2009, purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments and short-term U.S. Government obligations were as follows:
|
Plumb Balanced Fund |
Plumb Equity Fund |
Purchases: |
$11,009,726 |
$4,504,440 |
Sales: |
$11,084,679 |
$3,640,372 |
6.BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of September 30, 2009, Charles Schwab Inc., for the benefit
of its customers, owned 33.58% of the Plumb Equity Fund. As of September 30, 2009, the Plumb Trust Company, for the benefit of its customers, owned 58.47% and 43.23% of the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund, respectively. As a result, Charles Schwab Inc. may be deemed to control the Plumb Equity Fund and the Plumb Trust Company may be deemed to control both the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund.
7.FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
As of and during the year ended March 31, 2009, 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 tax years prior to 2007.

3.BOARD REVIEW OF FUNDS’ INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), requires that the Funds’ Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with the Advisor be approved on an annual basis by the vote of a majority of the Board of Directors who are not parties
to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” of the Funds (as that term is defined in 1940 Act) (the “Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. At its meeting held May 14, 2009, the Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for another year.
The Board’s approval was based on its consideration and evaluation of a variety of factors, which included, among other things: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered; (ii) the investment performance of each Fund; (iii) fees and expenses paid by each Fund to the
Advisor; (iv) the economies of scale and whether economies of scale will accrue to the shareholders; and (v) the costs of the services to the Advisor and profits realized by the Advisor in providing services to the Funds.
In connection with its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed and discussed and considered at the Meeting various materials, including:
|
• |
a memorandum from Fund counsel discussing the duties and responsibilities of directors when approving investment advisory agreements; |
|
• |
a memorandum from Funds’ management providing information regarding: |
|
o |
the Funds’ absolute performance, and their performance relative to industry benchmarks and a universe of relevant peers, as determined by Morningstar; |
|
o |
the actual fees and expenses paid by the Funds and their expense ratios compared to their respective Morningstar peers; |
|
o |
the Advisor’s analysis of profitability of the Advisory Agreement and related administrative agreement to the Advisor; |
|
o |
services provided to other similarly-sized clients of the Advisor and the fees paid by such clients; |
|
• |
reports prepared by Morningstar showing quarterly and annual performance history of the Funds; |
|
• |
the Advisory Agreement and other service agreements with the Advisor or affiliates of the Advisor; and |
Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)
|
• |
reports from the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer regarding the Advisor’s adherence to the Funds’ compliance program. |
In addition, the Board had received and considered detailed information on the Funds’ investment performance and expenses at each of its quarterly meetings during the year as well as in-person reports from the Funds’ portfolio managers and reports from the Funds’ Chief Compliance
Officer.
The nature, extent and quality of the services rendered by the Advisor.
The Board agreed that the Advisor, with a track record spanning twenty-five years, twenty of those managing mutual funds, was well qualified to continue to manage a mutual fund. They noted the staff’s long history in money management, especially that of the portfolio managers.
The performance of the Funds.
The Board was pleased with the Funds’ performance, relative to both their respective peer groups and benchmark indices in spite of turbulent market conditions. While the Funds still had negative returns over the past fiscal year and since inception, the Board noted that the
Equity Fund was able to outperform its benchmark over both time periods and that for the year ending March 31, 2009, the Equity Fund ranked in the top 5% of its Morningstar peer group, consisting of 2,232 funds with similar investment objectives. The Board also noted that the Balanced Fund had comparable performance to its benchmark and its Morningstar peer group, consisting of 1,315 funds, during the past fiscal year. The Board recognized that wealth preservation in a declining market is just as important,
if not more so, as high returns in an advancing market. The Board also viewed the Advisor’s adherence to its investment methodology over the last year in a positive manner.
The fees and expenses charged by the Advisor.
The Board considered the fees and expenses charged by the Adviser and incurred by the Fund. The Board noted especially the Adviser’s willingness to waive large portions of its fees under the Advisory Agreement and administrative agreement over the past year, consisting of
approximately 42 basis points out of its 80 basis point fee with respect to the Balanced Fund and 77 basis points out of its 80 basis point fee with respect to the Equity Fund, and also the Advisor’s absorption other various costs associated with the start up of the Funds. They noted that despite the Funds having less than two years of operation, the waivers granted by the Advisor kept the Funds’ expense ratios at or below the median expense ratios of funds in their respective Morningstar
peer groups.
Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Board also considered the services provided by and the fees paid to the Advisor by another similarly-sized client that has an investment style similar to the Balanced Fund. The Board believed that the Advisor did not offer a level of service to the other client comparable
to the services provided to the Balanced Fund.
Ultimately, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fee rate of 65 basis point of assets under management to be fair and reasonable.
The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow.
The Board noted that, due to their relatively small size, the Funds have yet to achieve any economies of scale, but due to the amount of fixed costs associated with running a fund, growth in assets would achieve these economies.
Costs of the services and profits realized by the Advisor.
The Board also discussed the profitability of the Advisor and the benefits being realized by the Advisor by virtue of its managing the Funds. In light of the fact that the Advisor waived a substantial portion of its advisory fee, the Board felt that the profits being realized by
the Adviser were certainly not excessive. The Board also considered other than economic benefits to the Advisor, including the fact that the Adviser received compensation in the form of soft-dollars commission to pay for research and the fact that managing the Funds presents the Advisor with the opportunity to provide prospective clients with an audited and publicly available investment record. They agreed that such non-economic benefits, including the research, would benefit the Fund and
did not constitute excessive compensation to the Advisor.
Based on its evaluation of all material factors and the information provided to it, the Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, voted unanimously to renew the Agreement for a one-year period.
