PLUMB FUNDS
September 30, 2012
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
For the six months ended September 30, 2012, the Plumb Balanced Fund returned -3.97%, and the Plumb Equity Fund returned -5.38%. Over the same period, the Balanced Fund’s benchmark, a 55/35/10 blend of the S&P 500 Index, the Barclays Capital Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index, and the MSCI EAFE Index returned 2.74%, and the Equity Fund’s benchmark, a 90/10 blend of the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI EAFE Index was 2.82%. The investment return of your fund was adversely affected by exposure to specific small cap energy related investments, and to a lesser extent, by overall exposure to cyclical investments in the energy, industrial, and technology sectors. We have eliminated some of these positions and believe that the remainder offer significant recovery potential.
Both the equity and fixed-income markets have been heavily influenced by the world’s central banks. Recently the European Central Bank’s efforts to aid the euro zone, such as its plan to buy sovereign debt to reduce certain European nations’ borrowing costs, fuelled markets around the world. Such actions, coupled with the Federal Reserve’s announcement of additional stimulus measures for the U.S. economy, substantially improved investor sentiment and market performance.
Despite recent market strength, risks abound. Investors seem particularly concerned that Moody’s investor services may downgrade Spanish sovereign debt to “junk” status. Such a move could force some investors to sell Spain’s debt instruments, as they may not be allowed to own junk-rated investments. Other risks include continued weakness in China, confrontation with Iran, and corporate profits that may fail to live up to expectations. Any of these risks coming to fruition could dampen market enthusiasm.
U.S. economic data are mixed. Second quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth was revised down to 1.3% annualized, durable goods orders declined, and personal income barely increased in August. Yet, the Institute for Supply Management’s U.S. factory index rose to 51.5 in September. A reading over 50 indicates that manufacturing is expanding. Importantly, housing continued to improve. Home sales were up solidly from last year. House prices are up 1.2% year over year, and mortgage delinquencies continued to decline. Initial weekly unemployment claims recently declined. Taken together, the data suggest the U.S. economy is still growing sluggishly.
In sum, although the U.S. economy continued to improve, the global economic outlook remains highly uncertain. Thus, we are maintaining our conservative stance. Our fixed-income portfolio is positioned towards short-to-medium length maturities while our equity selections are weighted towards what we feel are quality companies with strong cash flows and balance sheets. We believe these investments pay attractive dividends and should be able to maintain their dividends even if the economy is softer than current expectations. We believe that this approach will help moderate your risk while giving you the opportunity to participate in businesses that have the strength to develop and extend their franchises.
PLUMB FUNDS
We remain focused on global diversification in the stock portion of the Plumb Funds. Through allocation to international companies and small, medium, and large domestic companies, we feel we are well positioned to participate in long-term growth. We continue to look for opportunities to invest a small portion of the Funds’ portfolios in alternative strategies such as commodities to hedge against future inflation.
We thank you for your support.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Opinions expressed are those of Thomas Plumb and are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice.
Diversification does not assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.
Must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change and should not be considered recommendations to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the schedule of investments in this report for complete holdings information.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Funds may invest in small and mid-sized companies which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The Funds invest in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. The 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. Investments by the Balanced Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Investments 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. Because the Funds may invest in ETFs, they are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares.
PLUMB FUNDS
The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged market capitalization-weighted index based on the average weighted performance of 500 widely held common stocks. The Barclays Capital Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged market value weighted index measuring both the principal price changes of, and income provided by, the underlying universe of securities that comprise the index. The MSCI EAFE Index is an unmanaged market capitalization-weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the US & Canada. You cannot invest directly in an index.
The funds may invest indirectly in commodities such as gold and silver, which involve additional risks, such as the possibility for substantial price fluctuations over a short period of time.
The Plumb Funds are distributed by Quasar Distributors, LLC.

Expense Example
September 30, 2012 (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, 2012 – September 30, 2012).
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.

PLUMB FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2012 (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. The Advisor is indirectly owned by SVA Plumb Financial, LLC which in turn is partially owned by TGP, Inc. The Advisor is controlled by Thomas G. Plumb indirectly through TGP, Inc.
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:
The Funds have adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy 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 year. 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)
|
Equity securities, including common stocks, foreign issued common stocks, preferred securities, and exchange-traded funds, which are traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price reported by the exchange on which the securities
PLUMB FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2012 (Unaudited) (Continued)
are primarily traded on the day of valuation. Nasdaq-listed securities are valued at their Nasdaq Official Closing Price. Equity securities not traded on a listed exchange or not traded using Nasdaq are valued as of the last sale price at the close of the U.S. market. If there are no sales on a given day for securities traded on an exchange, the latest bid quotation will be used.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at the ending net asset value (NAV) provided by the service agent of the funds and will be classified as Level 1 securities.
Debt securities, such as corporate bonds, convertible bonds, municipal bonds, and U.S. government agency issues are valued using a market approach based on information supplied by independent pricing services. The market inputs used by the independent pricing service include: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data including market research publications. 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 fair value of the instrument. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these debt securities will generally be classified as Level 2 securities.
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 and will be classified as Level 3 securities.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. 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.

The Funds did not hold any investments during the period with significant unobservable inputs which would be classified as Level 3. As of September 30, 2012, no securities were transferred into or out of Level 1 or Level 2. It is the Funds’ policy to consider transfers into or out of any level as of the end of the reporting period.
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.
PLUMB FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2012 (Unaudited) (Continued)
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.
As of and during the period ended September 30, 2012, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the period ended September 30, 2012, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. taxing authorities for tax years prior to 2008.
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.
Options:
Each of the Funds may purchase call or put options on securities and indices and enter into related closing transactions. Each of the Funds may engage in transactions in options either for bona fide hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. During the period ended September 30, 2012, the Funds invested in purchased call options in an attempt to achieve increased total returns. As a holder of a call option, a Fund pays a non-refundable premium to the seller for the right, but not the obligation, to purchase a security at a fixed price (the exercise price) during the specified period (exercise period). As a holder of a put option, a Fund pays a non-refundable premium for the right, but not the obligation, to sell a security at the exercise price during the exercise period. The premium that a Fund pays when purchasing a call option will reflect, among other
PLUMB FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2012 (Unaudited) (Continued)
things, the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the volatility of the security, the length of the option period and supply and demand factors.
The counterparty risk associated with purchased options is minimal because the options are exchange-traded, and the Options Clearing Corporation guarantees performance to selling and purchasing clearing members.
If a purchased call option is exercised by a Fund, the premium is added to the cost basis of the security purchased, which will subsequently decrease the gain or increase the loss recognized at the time of sale. If a purchased put option is exercised by the Fund, the premium is deducted from the proceeds of the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss.
The Plumb Balanced and Plumb Equity Funds did not hold any derivative instruments at September 30, 2012.
The effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations for the six months ended September 30, 2012 is summarized below.
The Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund did not have any realized gains or losses on purchased options – equity contracts for the period ended September 30, 2012.
The Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund had changes in unrealized depreciation of purchased options–equity contracts of $(391,002) and $(366,841), respectively, and this depreciation is reported within the Statements of Operations as “Net change in unrealized depreciation: Options.”

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, 2012, the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund incurred expenses of $58,195 and $57,231, respectively, pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan. As of September 30, 2012, $21,672 and $14,049 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 Funds’ expenses. The Advisor has agreed to limit annual operating expenses through July 31, 2013, to 1.25% and 1.40% of the Funds’ average daily net assets 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 in place at the time the waiver was made, 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, 2012, the Advisor waived expenses for the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund of $44,513 and $8,020, respectively.
The following table shows the remaining waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery as of March 31, 2012 expiring in:

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 1940 Act. As of September 30, 2012, the SVA Plumb Trust Company, for the benefit of its customers, owned 41.52% of the Plumb Balanced Fund. SVA Plumb Trust Company is wholly owned by SVA Plumb Financial, LLC and under common control with the Advisor. As of September 30, 2012, Charles Schwab Inc., for the benefit of its customers, owned 28.27% and 69.56% of the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund, respectively. As a result, the SVA Plumb Trust Company may be deemed to control the Plumb Balanced Fund, and Charles Schwab Inc. may be deemed to control both the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund.

Additional Information (Unaudited)
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 21, 2012, the Board of Directors, including all of the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for another year with a contractual waiver by the Advisor whereby the Advisor agreed to limit expenses until July 31, 2013 to 1.25% and 1.40% for the Plumb Balanced Fund and Plumb Equity Fund, respectively, to the extent that either Funds’ total annual operating expenses exceed those levels.
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 performances, and their performances 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; and
|
|
o
|
services provided to other similarly-sized clients of the Advisor and the fees paid by such clients.
|
|
•
|
the Advisory Agreement and other service agreements with the Advisor or affiliates of the Advisor; and
|
PLUMB FUNDS
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 considered the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor, including services required to be provided under the Agreement, services required to be provided under other agreements with the Advisor, and additional services provided by the Advisor that were not required under any of those agreements. The Board considered the background and experience of the Funds’ portfolio managers, other advisory personnel, compliance personnel, and other support personnel. The Board noted that, in addition to investment management and broker-selection services, the Advisor prepares compliance and other materials for each of the Board’s meetings; provides office space, equipment, information technology, and administrative services necessary for operation of the Funds; and performs regular compliance and risk analysis functions for the Funds.
The Board determined that the Advisor, which has a track record spanning over twenty-five years, the significant majority of those managing mutual funds, was well qualified to continue to manage a mutual fund. The Board noted the long history of the portfolio managers and other Advisor staff in the money management industry. The Board noted that, based on the information presented to it in the Board Materials, it believed that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor were reasonably comparable to those provided by advisors to comparable funds and that such services were adequate for the Funds’ needs.
The performance of the Funds.
In reviewing the investment performance of each of the Funds, the Board reviewed the year-to-date, one-year, three-year, and life-of-fund performances of the Balanced Fund and Equity Fund. The Advisor discussed the performance of the Funds, noting that the performance of each Fund was relatively close to that of its respective benchmark. The Board noted that both Funds outperformed their respective benchmark indices over the year-to-date period. The Board also noted that for the life-of-fund period for the Equity Fund and the one-year, three-year, and life-of-fund periods for both Funds, the Funds’ respective performances before taking into account their respective expense ratios were close to that of their respective benchmark indices. The Board also noted that
PLUMB FUNDS
Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)
the Balanced Fund underperformed its one-year benchmark by 3.83% and its three-year benchmark by 4.89%. The Board noted that both Funds were created in May of 2007, such that the relative newness of the Funds coupled with the level of market turmoil during much of that period may make historical performance comparisons less informative than they might otherwise be due to the relative lack of longer-term comparison data and the lack of performance information over more historically typical periods in the markets.
After considering the performances of the Balanced Fund and the Equity Fund, the Board determined that relative to the performances of each Fund’s respective benchmark index, the performances of the Balanced Fund and the Equity Fund were satisfactory.
The fees and expenses charged by the Advisor.
The Board reviewed the expense ratios for each Fund, noting that pre-waiver expenses totaled 1.58 percent for the Balanced Fund and 1.54 percent for the Equity Fund, and that after the waiver of certain fees and expenses the expense ratio for the Balanced Fund was 1.25 percent and for the Equity Fund, 1.40 percent. Both of these expense ratios were in the middle third of their respective Lipper comparison group. The Board noted that the Morningstar average expense ratios provided in the memorandum, which were 0.89% for balanced funds comparable to the Balanced Fund and 0.68% for equity funds comparable to the Equity Fund, included funds and fund complexes with significantly larger amounts of assets under management, which tended to drive down fees and expenses for those other funds and fund complexes.
In reviewing the cost of services provided to the Funds and profits realized by the Advisor from these relationships, the Board stressed the Advisor’s willingness to waive and reimburse portions of its advisory fee to keep the Funds’ expense ratios competitive. The Board also noted that expense ratios tend to be higher for small funds in comparison to the industry in general, and that the lack of asset growth over the past year had contributed to relatively high expense ratios. Overall, the Directors concurred that the fees charged by the Advisor to the Funds were appropriate given the quality and scope of services and fees charged by the Advisor to other clients, and the Funds’ expense ratios were reasonable compared to peers and competitors.
The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow.
The Board also considered whether economies of scale might be realized as the Funds’ assets increase. It estimated that each of the Funds would need to approximately double their assets under management to achieve a level of assets under management whereby the gross expense ratio of each Fund were equal to
PLUMB FUNDS
Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)
or less than the amount of fees currently being waived by the Funds. The Board noted that an increase in assets could help the Funds to achieve economies of scale in the Funds’ operations, as evidenced by the impact of the growth in assets in the Equity Fund during the prior fiscal year, but that due to the continued relatively small size of the Funds, the Funds have yet to achieve any significant economies of scale. The Board concluded that neither the Balanced Fund nor the Equity Fund was likely to realize material economies of scale until assets under management in each grew significantly.
Profits realized by the Advisor.
The Advisor discussed its profitability, indicating that the Advisor does not provide similar services to any other registered investment company. The Board considered the fees for other accounts managed by the Advisor. The Advisor outlined its standard investment advisory contract fee schedule for separately managed accounts and stated that the standard contract is not strictly comparable to the advisory contract with the Funds because separately managed account clients do not require the same level of services or the same level of regulatory and compliance costs as with a registered investment company. The Advisor said that $80 million of the $100 million invested in the Funds come from separately managed account clients of the Advisor, with the Advisor’s separately managed account fee waived with respect to client assets invested in the Funds. As a result, the Funds do not generate significant profitability for the Advisor.
