Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

February 28, 2017

 

Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

California Tax-Free Income Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, Short-Term U.S. Government Bond Fund, The United States Treasury Trust, S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, European Growth & Income Fund, Shelton Green Alpha Fund and Nasdaq-100 Index Fund (the “Funds”) are each a series of shares of beneficial interest of the Shelton Funds (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value shares in one or more series. The Trust, originally organized as two separate Massachusetts business trusts formed by Declarations of Trust dated September 11, 1985, as subsequently amended, was reorganized into a single Delaware statutory trust after the close of trading on December 29, 2006. The investment objectives of the Funds are as follows: California Tax-Free Income Fund seeks as high a level of income, exempt from regular federal and California personal income taxes, as is consistent with prudent investment management and safety of capital. U.S. Government Securities Fund seeks liquidity, safety from credit risk and as high a level of income as is consistent with these objectives by investing in full faith and credit obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies or instrumentalities, primarily in U.S. Treasury Securities and Government National Mortgage Association Certificates. Short-Term U.S. Government Bond Fund seeks liquidity, safety from credit risk, preservation of investors’ principal and as high a level of income as is consistent with these objectives by investing in mainly U.S. government securities. The United States Treasury Trust seeks capital preservation, safety, liquidity, and consistent with these objectives, the highest attainable current income exempt from state income taxes. S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund and S&P SmallCap Index Fund are diversified mutual funds that seek to provide investment results that correspond to the total return of publicly traded common stocks represented in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index, the Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400 Index and the Standard & Poor’s SmallCap 600 Index, respectively. The Shelton Core Value Fund seeks a high level of income and capital appreciation (when consistent with high income) by investing primarily in income-producing U.S. equity securities. European Growth & Income Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and income by investing in large-sized European companies. Shelton Green Alpha Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks in the green economy by investing in common stocks of companies believed to be leaders in managing environmental risks and opportunities. Nasdaq-100 Index Fund attempts to replicate the performance of the largest non-financial companies as measured by the Nasdaq-100 Index.

 

The Shelton Funds began offering additional classes of shares, Class K, on October 16, 2003. Income, expenses (other than the expenses attributable to a specific class), realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments of the Funds are allocated proportionately to the two classes of shares offered based on the daily net assets, except for Rule 12b-1 distribution fees and shareholder service fees, which are charged only to K Shares. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

 

(a) Security Valuation – Equity securities listed on a national exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Futures contracts are valued at the settle price, depending on the exchange the contract trades on, typically as of 4:15 p.m., Eastern Time. Municipal securities are valued by an independent pricing service at a price determined by a matrix pricing method. This technique generally considers such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. U.S. government securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. U.S. agency securities consisting of mortgage pass-through certificates are valued using dealer quotations provided by an independent pricing service. U.S. Treasury Bills are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued on the amortized cost basis as reflecting fair value. The United States Treasury Trust securities are valued at amortized cost, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees and which the Board of Trustees has determined in good faith reflects the market-based net asset value per share. Securities for which market quotes are not readily available from the Trust’s third party pricing service are valued at fair value, determined in good faith and in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Board has delegated to its Pricing Committee the responsibility for determining the fair value, subject to the Board oversight and the review of the pricing decisions at its quarterly meetings.

 

(b) Futures Contracts – Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of cash, as collateral, for the account of the broker (a Fund’s agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are made or received depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, European Growth & Income Fund, Shelton Green Alpha Fund and Nasdaq-100 Index Fund may purchase or sell stock index futures to maintain cash reserves while remaining fully invested, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs, or to seek higher investment returns when a futures contract is priced more attractively than the underlying equity security or index. Risks include the possibility of an illiquid market and an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the stocks held by a Fund and the prices of futures contracts.

 

(c) Options – The Shelton Core Value Fund may write call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. Options can be traded through an exchange or through a privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded through an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse (such as the Options Clearing Corporation). The difference between the premium received or paid, and the market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When an option is exercised, the proceeds of the security sold are adjusted by the amount of premium received. Upon the expiration of the option, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations. The risk in writing a call option is that the market price of the security increases and if the option is exercised, the Fund must either purchase the security at a higher price for delivery or give up the opportunity for profit.

 

(d) Federal Income Taxes – No provision is considered necessary for federal income taxes. The Funds intend to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders.

 

(e) Security Transactions, Investment Income and Distributions to Shareholders – Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date for the California Tax-Free Income Fund, the U.S. Government Securities Fund, S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, European Growth & Income Fund, Shelton Green Alpha Fund, Nasdaq-100 Index Fund and Short-Term U.S. Government Bond Fund. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for futures contracts, redemptions-in-kind and post-October capital losses. For The United States Treasury Trust, dividends from net investment income are declared daily and reinvested or paid in cash monthly. The Fund intends to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00. If net asset value per share using available market information deviates from $1.00 by $.005 or more, the Board of Trustees would consider what steps, if any, should be taken to restore net asset value per share to $1.00.

 

(f) Concentration – The California Tax-Free Income Fund invests in debt instruments of municipal issuers. The issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in the state of California.

 

(g) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements – In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expense during the year. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Shelton Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

February 28, 2017

 

(h) Share Valuations – The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding of the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. A Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. Bond and Money Market funds are closed on Columbus Day (observed) and Veteran’s Day (observed). The offering and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to a Fund’s NAV per share.

 

(i) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2013-2015), or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2016 tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, however the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

 

(j) Fair Value Measurements – The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company 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 unavailable, representing the Fund’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.

Should the common stock rise over ten cents per share or fall over ten cents per share and maintain that level for a one-week period, a Pricing Committee meeting would be reconvened to evaluate the price valuation.

 

(k) Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – The Funds have adopted enhanced disclosure regarding derivative and hedging activity intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.

 

S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, Nasdaq-100 Index Fund, Shelton Green Alpha Fund and European Growth & Income Fund can use Futures contracts and strategies for achieving the investment objectives.

 

Although the Funds’ primary risks are associated with changes in the stock market, there are other risks associated with the Funds. For the index funds, these risks generally apply to how well the Funds track the index. For example, the Funds invest in futures contracts to the extent that it holds cash in the portfolio. If these futures contracts do not track the index, the Fund’s performance relative to the respective index will change. For the non-indexed Funds, they may invest in futures contracts to the extent each Fund holds cash in the portfolio. If these futures contracts owned by each Fund do not perform well, the Funds’ performance will be impacted.

 

Under normal circumstances the Funds may follow a number of investment policies to achieve its objective. Losses involving futures can sometimes be substantial, in part because a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in an immediate and substantial loss for the Funds. In an effort to minimize this risk, the Funds will not use futures for speculative purposes or as leverage. It is the Funds’ policy to hold cash deposits equal or greater than the total market value of any futures position. The value of all futures and options contracts in which the Funds acquire an interest will not exceed 20% of current total assets.

 

At February 29, 2017, the number of open future contracts in the S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, and Nasdaq-100 Index Fund was 40, 3, 42 and 161, respectively. The Shelton Core Value Fund, European Growth & Income Fund and Shelton Green Alpha Fund held no futures contracts at February 28, 2017. Only current day’s variation margin is reported as an asset or liability within the statement of assets and liabilities.

A Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursement of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is contingent upon Board of trustee review and approval prior to the time the reimbursement is initiated.

 

As compensation for administrative duties not covered by the management agreement, Shelton Capital receives an administration fee, which was revised on January 1, 2011. The administration fee is based on assets held, in aggregate, by the Shelton Funds. The fee rates are 0.10% on the first $500 million, 0.08% on the next $500 million, and 0.06% on combined assets over $1 billion. Administration fees are disclosed on the Statement of Operations.

 

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also partners of Shelton Capital. Teresa Axelson served as the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) of the Trust since November 2011 until her retirement on February 28, 2017. Ms. Axelson was also employed by Shelton Capital, the Advisor and Administrator to the Trust. The Trust was responsible for the portion of her salary allocated to her duties as the CCO of the Trust during her employment, and Shelton Capital was reimbursed by the Trust for this portion of her salary. The level of reimbursement is reviewed and determined by the Board of Trustees at least annually. Gregory T. Pusch currently serves as CCO of the Trust under similar arrangements.

 

Shelton Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”), as amended August 1, 2012, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereby the Class K Shares of each Fund of the Shelton Funds pays the Distributor for expenses that relate to the promotion and distribution of shares. Under the Plan, the Class K Shares of the Funds will pay the Distributor a fee at an annual rate of 0.25%, payable monthly, of the daily net assets attributable to such Fund’s Class K Shares. The Plan was amended to eliminate the Class A Shares. All A Share accounts were liquidated effective December 6, 2013.

Shelton Funds adopted a Shareholder Services Plan (the “Services Plan”), whereby the K Shares of each Fund of the Shelton Funds pay RFS Partners, the Funds’ Distributor or other service providers, an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class K Shares. Such amounts are compensation for providing certain services to clients owning K Shares, including processing purchase and redemption transactions, assisting in other administrative details and providing other information with respect to each Fund.

Note 4 - OPTIONS WRITTEN

 

Written Options Contracts. Certain Funds may write options to manage exposure to certain changes in the market. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires, the Fund realizes a gain from investments equal to the amount of the premium received. When a written call option is exercised, the difference between the premium and the amount for effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commission, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received reduces the cost of the security purchased by the Fund. A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund may forego the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised.

Note 5 - TAX CHARACTER

 

Reclassifications: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended August 31, 2016, permanent differences resulting from different book and tax accounting for net operating losses, expiration of capital loss carryforwards and treatment of accretion of discount have been reclassified to paid-in capital. The reclassifications were as follows:

 

   

Increase (Decrease) Paid-In Capital

   

Increase (Decrease) Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)

   

Increase (Decrease) Accumulated

Distributions to Shareholders: Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund.

Board Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

 

The 1940 Act requires that the full Board and a majority of the Independent Trustees annually approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreements dated January 1, 2007 between Shelton Funds and Shelton Capital (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), and the Investment Advisory Agreement dated March 1, 2013, between Shelton Green Alpha Fund and Shelton Capital. At a meeting held in-person on February 9, 2017, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees on behalf of the Trusts’ California Tax-Free Income Fund, S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, Nasdaq-100 Index Fund, European Growth & Income Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, Short-Term U.S. Government Bond Fund and The United States Treasury Trust (each a “Fund”), considered and approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund with CCM Partners D/B.A. Shelton Capital Management (“SCM”) for an additional one-year period ending March 31, 2018.

 

Prior to the meeting, the Independent Trustees requested information from Shelton Capital. This information, together with other information provided by Shelton Capital, and the information provided to the Independent Trustees throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations, as summarized below. In addition to the information identified above, other material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s subsequent approval are described below.

 

Information Received

 

Materials Received. During the course of each year, the Independent Trustees receive a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by Shelton Capital, including reports on each Fund’s investment results; portfolio composition; third party fund rankings; investment strategy; portfolio trading practices; shareholder services; and other information relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Shelton Capital to the Funds. In addition, the Board requests and reviews supplementary information that includes materials regarding each Fund’s investment results, advisory fee and expense comparisons, the costs of operating the Funds and financial and profitability information regarding Shelton Capital (the principal business activity of which is managing the Funds), description of various functions such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and information about the personnel providing investment management services to each Fund.

 

Review Process. The Board received assistance and advice regarding legal and industry standards from independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. The Board discussed the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements both with Shelton Capital representatives and in a private session with independent legal counsel at which representatives of Shelton Capital were not present. In deciding to approve the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements, the Independent Trustees considered the total mix of information requested by and made available to them and did not identify any single issue or particular information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

SCM, its personnel and its resources. The Board considered the depth and quality of Shelton Capital’s investment management process; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; operating performance and the overall financial strength and stability of its organization. The Board also considered that SCM made available to its investment professionals a variety of resources relating to investment management, compliance, trading, performance and portfolio accounting. The Board further considered Shelton Capital’s continuing need to attract and retain qualified personnel and, noting Shelton Capital’s additions over recent years, determined that SCM was adequately managing matters related to the Funds.

 

Other Services. The Board considered, in connection with the performance of its investment management services to the Funds, the following: Shelton Capital’s policies, procedures and systems to ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations and its commitment to these programs; its efforts to keep the Trustees informed; and its attention to matters that may involve conflicts of interest with the Funds. As a point of comparison, the Board also considered the nature, extent, quality and cost of certain non-investment related administrative services provided by Shelton Capital to the Funds under the administration servicing agreements.

 

The Board concluded that Shelton Capital had the quality and depth of personnel and investment methods essential to performing its duties under the Investment Advisory Agreements, and that the nature, extent and overall quality of such services are satisfactory and reliable.

 

Investment Performance

 

The Board considered each Fund’s investment results in comparison to its stated investment objectives. The Trustees reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of each of the funds on both an absolute basis and in comparison to benchmark indices. The Trustees also reviewed Morningstar rankings for each of the Funds, as applicable. In assessing performance of certain Funds, the Trustees took into consideration the fact that Fund performance is expected to mirror the appropriate benchmarks as closely as possible given certain practical constraints imposed by the 1940 Act, the Fund’s investment restrictions, the Fund’s size and similar factors. Among the factors considered in this regard, were the following:

 

 

For the S&P 500 Index Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the first quartile over the 10-year period, and the second quartile over the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year periods. The Trustees noted with approval that the Fund was tracking its benchmark very closely.

 

 

For the S&P MidCap Index Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the first quartile over the 10-year period, the second quartile over the 3-year and 5-year periods and the third quartile over the 1-year period. The Trustees noted with approval that the Fund was tracking its benchmark very closely.

 

 

For the Shelton Core Value Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the first quartile over the 5-year, and 10-year periods, and the third quartile over the 1-year and 3-year periods.

 

 

For the S&P SmallCap Index Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the first quartile over the 1-year, 3-year 5-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees noted with approval that the Fund was tracking its benchmark very closely.

 

 

For the Nasdaq-100 Index Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the first quartile over the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees noted with approval that the Fund was tracking its benchmark very closely.

 

 

For the European Growth & Income Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the third quartile over the 1-year period, and in the fourth quartile over the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods.

 

 

For the United States Treasury Trust, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the fourth quartile over the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods.

 

 

For the Short-Term U.S. Govt. Bond Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the second quartile for the 1-year period and the fourth quartile over the 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods.

 

 

For the U.S. Government Securities Fund, it was noted that the performance of the Fund was in the first quartile over the 3-year period, the second quartile over the 5-year and 10-year periods, and the fourth quartile over the 1-year period.

 

 

For the California Tax-Free Income Fund, it was noted that, in the California Municipal Intermediate Morningstar category, the Fund was in the third quartile over the 1-year period, the second quartile over the 3-year and 5-year periods, and the fourth quartile over the 10-year period.

 

56

 


Board Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Board received a satisfactory explanation of the reasons underlying the performance of the lower performing Funds and SCM articulated a strategy for improving performance of these Funds. The Board ultimately concluded that SCM’s performance record in managing each Fund was satisfactory, and in some cases excellent, supporting the determination that SCM’s continued management under the Investment Advisory Agreement would be consistent with the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

 

Management Fees and Total Operating Expenses

 

The Board reviewed the management fees and total operating expenses of each Fund and compared such amounts with the management fees and total operating expenses of other funds in the industry that are found within the same style category, or peer group, as defined by Bloomberg. The Board considered the advisory fees and total fees and expenses of each Fund in comparison to the advisory fees and other fees and expenses of other funds in each Fund’s relevant peer group. The Trustees considered both the gross advisory fee rates, as well as the effective advisory rates charged by SCM after taking into consideration the expense limitation arrangements and voluntary fee waivers. The Board noted that the total net management fees charged to each Fund, after taking into account these expense limitations and voluntary waivers, were significantly lower (by 10 basis points or more) than the industry averages for comparable funds. The Board also observed that each Fund’s total operating expenses were well below the industry average for other comparable funds. The Board also noted the voluntary advisory fee limitation that SCM had put into effect during 2005 with respect to all but two of the Shelton Funds. The Trustees noted the Funds are now paying for certain administrative services that were previously provided to the Funds by SCM at its own expense under the fund administration servicing agreements that took effect during February of 2005 for the Shelton.

 

Adviser, Costs, Level of Profits, Economies of Scale and Ancillary Benefits

 

The Board reviewed information regarding SCM’s costs of providing services to the Funds, as well as the resulting level of profits to SCM. The Independent Trustees received financial and other information from SCM, in addition to a representation from SCM that its profits were not excessive and that SCM’s profitability was low by industry standards. The Board noted the reduction in advisory fees received by SCM as a result of the reduction in assets under management in recent years due to market events, but also took note of the increase in assets under management (and corresponding increase in advisory fees received by SCM) as a result of the fund merger in 2010 that brought additional assets to the Shelton Core Value Fund. The Board noted its intention to continue to monitor assets under management, and the resulting impact on SCM’s profitability, in order to ensure that SCM has sufficient resources to continue to provide the services that shareholders in the Funds require. The Board considered SCM’s need to invest in technology, data services, infrastructure and staff to provide the expected quality of investment advisory services to the Funds. They further considered that breakpoints in the advisory fee structure of certain Funds provide for reductions in the level of fees charged by SCM to such Fund as Fund assets increase, reflecting the fact that economies of scale in the cost of operations will be shared with such Fund’s shareholders. The Trustees also noted that SCM has contractually agreed to limit its advisory fees on certain Funds so that those Funds do not exceed their respective specified operating expense limitations, and that in the case of certain other Funds, SCM has imposed a voluntary fee limitation. Such voluntary contractual fee limitations may only be terminated with the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Funds. The Board also considered that SCM does not receive substantial indirect benefits from managing the Funds (one example of an indirect benefit is research paid for by Fund brokerage commissions – SCM currently does not seek to supplement its fees with such “soft dollar” benefits). On the basis of the foregoing, together with the other information provided to it at the February 13, 2014 meeting and throughout the year, the Board concluded that each Fund’s cost structure was reasonable.

 

Conclusions

 

Based on their review, including but not limited to their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board concluded that the Investment Advisory Agreement, taking into account the separate administration fees, is and would be fair and reasonable to each Fund and its shareholders, that each Fund’s shareholders received or should receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to SCM by the Funds, and that the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
