Letter to Shareholders December 31, 2019

 

As we enter a new decade, it is important to take a moment and reflect on what has occurred and learn from the past. In the last 100 years, 2010-2019 was the first decade in which the U.S. economy did not experience a recession. It was also a decade where the stock market did not close 20% below its all-time high. The only other decade in the last 100 years that the S&P 500 Index (“S&P 500”) did not experience a drawdown of this magnitude was 1990-1999. Why is this important? A famous quote states that “History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Therefore, let’s not forget what happened in the decade that followed the 1990’s. In the 2000’s, there were two separate market declines of more than 45%! While we are not predicting another decline of this magnitude, we feel it is important for clients to not ignore the past and have investment managers with the flexibility to navigate this type of volatility.

 

After a decade of strong returns and economic growth, many investors have become complacent in this current “Goldilocks Economy.” It may not be too hot, or too cold and seems to be “just right.” At Meeder, we believe that the one thing you can always count on is change. We want you to know that we will continue to navigate the market utilizing our data-driven investment models, which eliminate emotion from the investment decision making process.

 

S&P REACHES NEW HIGH DESPITE IMPEACHMENT

 

The S&P 500 Index climbed more than 9% in the 4th quarter alone and helped propel the index’s 2019 total return to over 31%. The S&P 500 achieved a total of 35 record highs in 2019, as the trend of growth stocks outperforming their value peers extended throughout the year. During the year, small-cap stocks remained the weakest performing market cap of U.S. equities. Despite their underperformance, the Russell 2000 Index still rose 25%. When comparing individual sectors in 2019, technology leaped far above the others by rising over 50%.

 

The biggest news of the fourth quarter occurred on December 18th, as the U.S. House of Representatives voted to formally impeach President Trump on two articles – abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The impeachment process moves to the Senate next, where Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts will preside over the case. The Senate will hold a trial and determine if the President is guilty of these charges. If a two-thirds majority of the Senate votes that he is guilty, he would be removed from office.

 

The only other U.S. Presidents to be formally impeached are President Bill Clinton and President Andrew Johnson, both of which were not convicted or removed from office. Richard Nixon is widely thought to have been impeached but resigned from office before the official impeachment inquiry began. Since the official inquiry was launched against President Trump on October 31, the S&P 500 has risen over 6%.

 

ECONOMIC DATA REMAINS MIXED

 

GDP for the third quarter grew 2.1%. A very strong jobs report showed the U.S. created 266,000 jobs compared to the consensus estimates of 187,000 for November, while December showed results of 145,000 below expectations of 160,000. Among the largest sector contributors, Health Care, Social Work, and Manufacturers provided the biggest employment gains. The Leading Economic Index increased by 0.1% in November, exceeding expectations and broke the streak of three consecutive monthly declines. This index is widely followed because it uses 10 leading economic indicators to try and identify peaks and troughs in the business cycle.

 

While the economy continues to expand, the rate of growth is much slower than it has previously been during this business cycle. Signs of weakness are also starting to show in certain parts of the economy, especially manufacturing. The ISM Manufacturing PMI Index in the U.S. reported levels of 47.2 for December compared to expectations of 49. This was the fifth consecutive month below 50 and was the lowest level since June 2009. A reading below 50 traditionally indicates a contraction in the manufacturing sector.

 

Data from the Energy Information Administration released this quarter showed that the U.S. is one step closer to becoming energy independent. The U.S. has a long history of being dependent on foreign energy producers. In recent years, the U.S. has increased its energy production, mainly because of an increase in hydraulic fracking. In December, for the first time ever, the U.S. was a net exporter of crude oil and petroleum products for a full month. For perspective, in August 2006, the U.S. was a net importer of more than 13.4 million barrels per day.

 

CHINA

 

The world’s second largest economy, China, is feeling the impact of the existing trade environment, as their measure of economic growth recently fell to a 30-year low. On the bright side, the U.S. & China trade negotiations took a positive turn near the end of 2019, as media reports stated both parties have agreed in principle to a Phase 1 trade deal. Details around this deal are still unclear, but early reports state that both sides will suspend future tariffs. This is seen as a good first step by both parties. News of this progress helped bolster market sentiment, but it is important to understand that a complete resolution appears to be far off. Returns for emerging markets have been impacted by this trade dispute, lagging their developed international counterparts in 2019. While the MSCI EAFE Index, which tracks companies within developed international regions, posted returns of 22%, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index only increased by 18%.

 

FEDERAL RESERVE

 

In October, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) met and again cut rates by 0.25%, bringing the overnight lending rate between banks to a range of 1.50% - 1.75%. It was the third 0.25% cut in 2019. This reduction helped provide a tailwind to the performance of bonds, as the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Index increased to a total return of 8.7% for the year. The Fed met again in December but left the overnight lending range unchanged. This was expected, as Fed Chairman Jerome Powell stated the board is “strongly committed” to maintaining a 2% inflation level for growth. Until the economy persistently outpaces this level, it is unlikely investors will see any rate hikes from the Federal Open Market Committee. One key measure that is essential to achieving higher inflation is strong consumer spending. It represents over 70% of the U.S. economy and

continues to be healthy. Consumer confidence also remains high, which was certainly evident during the start of the holiday shopping season. The National Retail Federation estimated there were nearly 190 million shoppers in the U.S. between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, an increase of 14% over last year’s 165.8 million. Data from Adobe Analytics showed that Black Friday online shopping reached a record $7.4 billion.

 

MEEDER PORTFOLIOS

 

At Meeder, we manage investment solutions across different risk profiles and time horizons. These strategies utilize a multi-discipline/multi-factor approach that guide us in the allocation of our portfolios. Many of these solutions employ one or more of our core investment strategies; Growth, Defensive Equity and Fixed Income.

 

GROWTH

 

Portfolios comprised of the Growth Strategy are more aggressive in their objective and typically remain invested in the stock market. These portfolios captured significant gains during the fourth quarter, as many stock market indices reached new all-time highs. Investors in the Growth Strategy experienced more market volatility than less aggressive portfolios; however, they were rewarded with larger returns, as the stock market grinded substantially higher.

 

DEFENSIVE EQUITY

 

Portfolios comprised of the Defensive Equity Strategy utilize investment models that assess the risk/reward relationship of the stock market. The goal is to reduce exposure to the market when that relationship is deemed unfavorable and ultimately, decrease participation in more severe market declines.

 

The tactical portfolios began the fourth quarter with a target of 100% exposure to the stock market. In October, market risk increased due to concerns over slowing global growth and increased trade tensions between the U.S. and China. As risk increased, short-term trends also turned negative. Our model guided us to reduce the equity exposure to 85%. The Fed then reduced short-term interest rates, by 0.25%, for the third time in 2019. The stock market responded favorably as short- and long-term trends improved, and market risk gradually fell. This led us to steadily increase our exposure back to 100% before the end of November.

 

In addition to strong momentum in December, there was an improvement in market breadth. As a reminder, market breadth gauges how many industries and stocks are participating in a trend. The number of advancing securities significantly exceeded the number of declining securities in the latter part of December, which is typically a positive sign for the continuation of an uptrend.

 

FIXED INCOME

 

The Meeder Fixed Income Strategy tactically shifts portfolio exposure utilizing investment models designed to actively monitor the credit quality, emerging market debt exposure and the U.S. Treasury duration of the portfolio. Our investment models guided us to start the fourth quarter with smaller allocations to emerging market and high yield bonds, primarily due to a deterioration in momentum, volatility and macro factors. Much of this turmoil was likely due to the U.S. Presidential impeachment process combined with uncertainty around the trade war between the U.S. & China. In the middle of October, the U.S. and China reached a partial trade deal, calling it “Phase 1” of the overall trade negotiations and related market volatility subsided. Our investment models then guided us to reduce our holdings in investment-grade and U.S. Treasury holdings and use those proceeds to increase our holdings in both emerging market and high yield bonds. Our investment models continued to favor increased exposure to the two sectors for remainder of the year and the portfolio benefitted from the tailwinds that were produced from the market’s optimism in the U.S. and global economic strength. The U.S. Treasury curve inversion ended during the quarter and it steepened as rates dropped across the front end of the yield curve and the longer-dated treasury yields moved higher.

 

OUR COMMITTMENT

 

As we begin a new year, it is important to remember our goal. We are dedicated to keeping clients committed to their investment strategy throughout a full market cycle. We believe that investors often make the biggest mistakes when they become emotional, rather than utilizing data when making investment decisions. Therefore, we continue to utilize and refine our data-driven investment models to make fact-based decisions when allocating our portfolios. We believe a systematic approach, based on the highest probability outcomes, will generate a better risk-adjusted return for investors over a full market cycle. We believe this focus helps clients stay committed to their investment strategy and ultimately reach their investment destination. Thank you once again for giving us the opportunity to be part of your investment journey.

Muirfield Fund

 

The Meeder Muirfield Fund Institutional Class returned 14.01% compared to the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index return of 19.03%.

 

After market volatility spiked and our model scores weakened at the end of 2018, we began the year with a 15% target exposure to the stock market. During the first quarter, our model identified institutional demand for stocks increasing and both short-term and long-term trends had turned positive. We increased our target equity exposure to 69% by the end of March. Our measure of market volatility continued to fall and was the primary driver for the steady increase in equity exposure, which reached as high as 98% in early May. Poor economic data released throughout May confirmed the U.S. economy’s rate of growth was slowing. By the start of June, we had reduced exposure to the stock market to 81%. In mid-June, our models identified a significant increase in the demand for stocks, causing us to gradually increase our exposure until reaching 100% near the end of June.

 

The ongoing trade war between U.S. and China escalated further, causing our internal measure of market risk to elevate and short-term trend factors to turn negative. We decreased our model portfolio’s target exposure to equities to a low of 79% toward the end of August. By mid-September, the S&P 500 broke out of its short-term trading range and the number of advancing securities relative to declining securities also reached an extremely high level. This positive market breadth improved the score of the short-term model and was one reason why we increased our exposure to 100% by the middle of September. In October, market risk increased due to concerns over slowing global growth and increased trade tensions between the U.S. and China. As risk increased, short-term trends also turned negative. Our model guided us to reduce the equity exposure to 85%. The Federal Reserve then reduced short-term interest rates, by 0.25%, for the third time in 2019. The stock market responded favorably as short- and long-term trends improved, and market risk gradually fell. This led us to steadily increase our exposure back to 100% before the end of November, and we remained fully invested through the end of the year.

 

Our shifts within equity markets include international versus domestic holdings, as well as allocating among market capitalization ranges in addition to sector overweight and/or underweight positions. Due primarily to relative momentum factors, our exposure to international holdings among both developed international and emerging market securities was underweight relative to the benchmark. Our underweight exposure to international markets contributed to performance relative to the benchmark in 2019.

 

Within our stock selection process, we attempt to gain exposure to companies with strong profitability that are priced at reasonable valuations relative to their industry peers and are trading with positive price momentum. For the year ending 2019, securities with exposure to short-term momentum and value characteristics, such as low book-to-price, contributed to performance. Companies with strong profitability detracted from performance.

 

In the portfolio, we will often use equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures, to efficiently equitize our cash positions as well as manage the equity exposure of the Fund. In regard to equitizing cash positions, these derivatives are designed to track their respective stock index, so there was no discernible impact to the Fund’s relative performance. The use of stock index futures to manage equity exposure of the Fund had a positive impact on the performance of the Fund relative to the benchmark index during 2019.

 

Investment Objective

Growth of $10,000
as of December 31, 2019

 

 

The Growth of $10,000 chart compares the performance of the Fund’s Retail Share Class over the period shown with dividends and capital gains reinvested to the Fund’s benchmarks. Benchmark indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and accounting fees.

 

Investment performance assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Historical performance attributed to the Institutional and Adviser Share Classes prior to their inception dates is based on the performance of the Retail Share Class. No adjustment has been made to reflect class-specific distribution or servicing fees. Returns may reflect the effect of voluntary fee waivers or expense reimbursements over the period shown. Without these waivers, performance would have been lower.

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For current month-end performance data, please visit our website at www.meederfunds.com.

Global Allocation Fund

 

The Meeder Global Allocation Fund Institutional Class returned 13.66% compared to the Morningstar Global Allocation Index benchmark return of 18.53%.

 

The Fund invests in domestic equity markets but will generally hold securities in emerging market and developed international equities as well. We alter the allocation to the international markets based on indications from our quantitative models. Additionally, the strategy can reduce equity exposure when it is deemed to be a high-risk market environment.

 

After market volatility spiked and our model scores weakened at the end of 2018, we began the year with a 15% target exposure to the stock market. During the first quarter, our model identified institutional demand for stocks increasing and both short-term and long-term trends had turned positive.

Our measure of market volatility continued to fall and was the primary driver for the steady increase in equity exposure, which reached as high as 98% in early May. Poor economic data released throughout May confirmed the U.S. economy’s rate of growth was slowing. By the start of June, we had reduced exposure to the stock market to 81%. In mid-June, our models identified a significant increase in the demand for stocks, causing us to gradually increase our exposure until reaching 100% near the end of June.

 

The ongoing trade war between U.S. and China escalated further, causing our internal measure of market risk to elevate and short-term trend factors to turn negative. We decreased our model portfolio’s target exposure to equities to a low of 79% toward the end of August. By mid-September, the S&P 500 broke out of its short-term trading range and the number of advancing securities relative to declining securities also reached an extremely high level. This positive market breadth improved the score of the short-term model and was one reason why we increased our exposure to 100% by the middle of September. In October, market risk increased due to concerns over slowing global growth and increased trade tensions between the U.S. and China. As risk increased, short-term trends also turned negative. Our model guided us to reduce the equity exposure to 85%. The Federal Reserve then reduced short-term interest rates, by 0.25%, for the third time in 2019. The stock market responded favorably as short- and long-term trends improved, and market risk gradually fell. This led us to steadily increase our exposure back to 100% before the end of November, and we remained fully invested through the end of the year.

 

Our shifts within equity markets include international versus domestic holdings, as well as allocating among market capitalization ranges in addition to sector overweight and/or underweight positions. Due primarily to relative momentum factors, our exposure to international holdings among both developed international and emerging market securities was underweight relative to the benchmark. Our underweight exposure to international markets detracted from performance relative to the benchmark in 2019.

 

Early in January, momentum factors improved in our fixed income models and we increased the portfolio’s allocation to high yield and emerging markets debt sectors. Roughly two-thirds of the portfolio remained allocated to more conservative U.S. Government securities and investment-grade bonds. The Fed took a dovish pivot in mid-March, announcing that it was “unlikely” there would be rate hikes in 2019. This reversed their earlier forecast of two rate increases. After the statement, Treasury prices increased as yields declined across the U.S. yield curve and portions of the yield curve inverted, as the 10-Year Treasury yield fell below the 3-month Treasury yield. The Fed maintained a dovish stance in the 2nd quarter due to mixed economic data and continued low inflation, eventually cutting overnight rates by 0.25% on the final day of July, as the U.S. and China trade negotiations continued to add to market uncertainty.

 

In the middle of August, a potential recessionary warning signal flashed as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell below the 2-year U.S. Treasury, followed by an inversion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the first time since 2007. Our models signaled a change in sector positioning and we reallocated the portfolio to a more conservative position with a reduction in high yield and emerging market debt and an increase in investment-grade securities and U.S. Treasuries. In September, the Fed cut the policy rate for the second time this year by 0.25%. However, market concerns started to ease in the middle of October as the U.S. and China reached a partial trade deal, calling it “Phase 1” of the overall trade negotiations, causing related market volatility to subside.

 

Our investment models then guided us to reduce our holdings in investment-grade and U.S. Treasury holdings and use those proceeds to increase our holdings in both emerging market and high yield bonds. Our investment models continued to favor increased exposure to the two sectors for remainder of the year and the portfolio benefitted from the tailwinds that were produced from the market’s optimism in the U.S. and global economic strength. The U.S. Treasury curve inversion ended during the quarter and it steepened as rates dropped across the front end of the yield curve and the longer-dated treasury yields moved higher. The portfolio’s treasury allocation’s duration was slightly higher than the benchmark during the second and third quarter and remained below the benchmark during the first and the fourth quarter. Portfolio duration remained slightly shorter than the benchmark throughout the year.

 

Within our stock selection process, we attempt to gain exposure to companies with strong profitability that are priced at reasonable valuations relative to their industry peers and are trading with positive price momentum. For the year ending 2019, securities with exposure to short-term momentum and value characteristics, such as low book-to-price, contributed to performance. Companies with strong profitability detracted from performance.

 

In the portfolio, we will often use equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures, to efficiently equitize our cash positions as well as manage the equity exposure of the Fund. In regard to equitizing cash positions, these derivatives are designed to track their respective stock index, so there was no discernible impact to the Fund’s relative performance. The use of stock index futures to manage equity exposure of the Fund had a positive impact on the performance of the Fund relative to the benchmark index during 2019.

Growth of $10,000
as of December 31, 2019

 

 

The Growth of $10,000 chart compares the performance of the Fund’s Retail Share Class over the period shown with dividends and capital gains reinvested to the Fund’s benchmarks. Benchmark indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and accounting fees.

 

Investment performance assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Historical performance attributed to the Institutional and Adviser Share Classes prior to their inception dates is based on the performance of the Retail Share Class. No adjustment has been made to reflect class-specific distribution or servicing fees. Returns may reflect the effect of voluntary fee waivers or expense reimbursements over the period shown. Without these waivers, performance would have been lower.

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For current month-end performance data, please visit our website at www.meederfunds.com.

Balanced Fund

 

The Meeder Balanced Fund Institutional Class returned 12.77% for the year compared to the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index return of 19.03%. The Fund maintains exposure to both equity and fixed income.

 

After market volatility spiked and our model scores weakened at the end of 2018, we began the year with a 15% target exposure to the stock market. During the first quarter, our model identified institutional demand for stocks increasing and both short-term and long-term trends had turned positive. We increased our target equity exposure to 69% by the end of March.

The ongoing trade war between U.S. and China escalated further, causing our internal measure of market risk to elevate and short-term trend factors to turn negative. We decreased our model portfolio’s target exposure to equities to a low of 79% toward the end of August. By mid-September, the S&P 500 broke out of its short-term trading range and the number of advancing securities relative to declining securities also reached an extremely high level. This positive market breadth improved the score of the short-term model and was one reason why we increased our exposure to 100% by the middle of September. In October, market risk increased due to concerns over slowing global growth and increased trade tensions between the U.S. and China. As risk increased, short-term trends also turned negative. Our model guided us to reduce the equity exposure to 85%. The Federal Reserve then reduced short-term interest rates, by 0.25%, for the third time in 2019. The stock market responded favorably as short- and long-term trends improved, and market risk gradually fell. This led us to steadily increase our exposure back to 100% before the end of November, and we remained fully invested through the end of the year.

 

Our shifts within equity markets include international versus domestic holdings, as well as allocating among market capitalization ranges in addition to sector overweight and/or underweight positions. Due primarily to relative momentum factors, our exposure to international holdings among both developed international and emerging market securities was underweight relative to the benchmark. Our underweight exposure to international markets contributed to performance relative to the benchmark in 2019.

 

Early in January, momentum factors improved in our fixed income models and we increased the portfolio’s allocation to high yield and emerging markets debt sectors. Roughly two-thirds of the portfolio remained allocated to more conservative U.S. Government securities and investment-grade bonds. The Fed took a dovish pivot in mid-March, announcing that it was “unlikely” there would be rate hikes in 2019. This reversed their earlier forecast of two rate increases. After the statement, Treasury prices increased as yields declined across the U.S. yield curve and portions of the yield curve inverted, as the 10-Year Treasury yield fell below the 3-month Treasury yield. The Fed maintained a dovish stance in the 2nd quarter due to mixed economic data and continued low inflation, eventually cutting overnight rates by 0.25% on the final day of July, as the U.S. and China trade negotiations continued to add to market uncertainty.

 

In the middle of August, a potential recessionary warning signal flashed as the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell below the 2-year U.S. Treasury, followed by an inversion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve for the first time since 2007. Our models signaled a change in sector positioning and we reallocated the portfolio to a more conservative position with a reduction in high yield and emerging market debt and an increase in investment-grade securities and U.S. Treasuries. In September, the Fed cut the policy rate for the second time this year by 0.25%. However, market concerns started to ease in the middle of October as the U.S. and China reached a partial trade deal, calling it “Phase 1” of the overall trade negotiations, causing related market volatility to subside.

 

Our investment models then guided us to reduce our holdings in investment-grade and U.S. Treasury holdings and use those proceeds to increase our holdings in both emerging market and high yield bonds. Our investment models continued to favor increased exposure to the two sectors for remainder of the year and the portfolio benefitted from the tailwinds that were produced from the market’s optimism in the U.S. and global economic strength. The U.S. Treasury curve inversion ended during the quarter and it steepened as rates dropped across the front end of the yield curve and the longer-dated treasury yields moved higher. The portfolio’s treasury allocation’s duration was slightly higher than the benchmark during the second and third quarter and remained below the benchmark during the first and the fourth quarter. Portfolio duration remained slightly shorter than the benchmark throughout the year.

 

Within our stock selection process, we attempt to gain exposure to companies with strong profitability that are priced at reasonable valuations relative to their industry peers and are trading with positive price momentum. For the year ending 2019, securities with exposure to short-term momentum and value characteristics, such as low book-to-price, contributed to performance. Companies with strong profitability detracted from performance.

 

In the portfolio, we will often use equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures, to efficiently equitize our cash positions as well as manage the equity exposure of the Fund. In regard to equitizing cash positions, these derivatives are designed to track their respective stock index, so there was no discernible impact to the Fund’s relative performance. The use of stock index futures to manage equity exposure of the Fund had a positive impact on the performance of the Fund relative to the benchmark index during 2019.

as of December 31, 2019

 

 

The Growth of $10,000 chart compares the performance of the Fund’s Retail Share Class over the period shown with dividends and capital gains reinvested to the Fund’s benchmarks. Benchmark indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and accounting fees.

 

Investment performance assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Historical performance attributed to the Institutional and Adviser Share Classes prior to their inception dates is based on the performance of the Retail Share Class. No adjustment has been made to reflect class-specific distribution or servicing fees. Returns may reflect the effect of voluntary fee waivers or expense reimbursements over the period shown. Without these waivers, performance would have been lower.

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For current month-end performance data, please visit our website at www.meederfunds.com.

Dynamic Allocation Fund

 

The Meeder Dynamic Allocation Fund Institutional Class returned 24.40% compared to the Morningstar Aggressive Target Risk Index return of 25.91%.

 

Our shifts within equity markets include international versus domestic holdings, as well as allocating among market capitalization ranges in addition to sector overweight and/or underweight positions. Due primarily to relative momentum factors, our exposure to international holdings among both developed international and emerging market securities was underweight relative to the benchmark. Our underweight exposure to international markets contributed to performance relative to the benchmark in 2019.

 

We maintain at least a 5% allocation to fixed income in the Fund. During 2019, this allocation was actively managed among investment-grade, high yield, and emerging market debt sectors. These allocation changes are driven by our tactical fixed income models. These models assess various factors including momentum, volatility, and macroeconomic metrics and signal sector rotations. Although sector rotation among credit sectors added value within fixed income allocation in 2019, overall fixed income exposure slightly detracted from the Fund’s performance as equity markets rallied significantly relative to fixed income during the year.

 

Within our stock selection process, we attempt to gain exposure to companies with strong profitability that are priced at reasonable valuations relative to their industry peers and are trading with positive price momentum. For the year ending 2019, securities with exposure to short-term momentum and value characteristics, such as low book-to-price, contributed to performance. Companies with strong profitability detracted from performance.

 

We utilized equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures, to equitize cash positions. Since these derivatives are designed to track a respective stock index, there was no discernable impact to the Fund’s relative performance in 2019.

Quantex Fund

 

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Meeder Quantex Fund Institutional Class returned 18.81% compared to the benchmark’s return of the S&P MidCap 400 Index of 26.20% and the Russell 2000 Index return of 25.52%.

 

We use a quantitative model to identify the capitalization ranges that incorporate our ideal portfolio of small- and mid-capitalization companies with strong growth potential each calendar year. Individual securities for the portfolio are equally weighted at the beginning of the year. Securities are then monitored on an ongoing basis and screened based on various momentum, profitability and value characteristics.

 

The portfolio’s performance was driven by a combination of sector selection and individual security selection. Consumer Discretionary, Industrials, and Energy were the largest overweight sectors relative to the benchmark, while our largest underweights relative to the benchmark were in Information Technology and Utilities. The largest sector contributors were Materials and Utilities, while the biggest individual contributors to performance were World Fuel Services and Tenet Healthcare. Mallinckrodt PLC, Tupperware Brands, and Chesapeake Energy were the largest individual detractors to performance.

 

We utilized equity index derivatives in the Fund, such as stock index futures, to equitize cash positions. Since these derivatives are designed to track a respective stock index, there was no discernable impact to the Fund’s relative performance in 2019.

Total Return Bond Fund

 

The Meeder Total Return Bond Fund Institutional Class return was 7.67% for the year compared to the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index which returned 8.72%.

 

Early in January, momentum factors improved in our fixed income models and we increased the portfolio’s allocation to high yield and emerging markets debt sectors.

Prime Money Market Fund

 

The Meeder Prime Money Market Fund is a constant net asset value (CNAV) fund offered only to natural persons. The objective of this fund is to maintain a CNAV at $1.00 per share while offering a competitive return to shareholders. The adviser to the Fund accomplishes the objective by investing in short-term, high-quality money market debt obligations. Money market debt obligations may be offered by the U.S. Government and its agencies but may also include obligations of fundamentally sound corporate issuers.

 

Over the past several years the Money Market Fund industry has been faced with challenges from zero bound interest rates to regulatory changes. Regardless of the event, money fund managers digested what was put before them and marched ahead. In time, perseverance was rewarded with higher interest rates. From the end of 2015 to the end of 2018, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) increased its benchmark interest rate nine times ending at a target range of 2.25% to 2.50%. However, in the ever-changing world known as “capital markets” even these advantageous interest rates could be short-lived.

 

The New Year, 2019, started with several potential obstacles posing challenges to global sentiment and circulated speculation about the global growth path moving forward. Discussions surrounding global trade, while simmering in the background over the last couple of years, became a steady headline throughout the year. FOMC Chairperson, Jerome Powell, and cohorts in the committee stressed vigilance in the first half on 2019 vowing to consider all scenarios and ramifications for the domestic economy. As a result, the benchmark range for interest rates was unchanged through June. Amid the news that the U.S. economy was stable relative to that of its peers, intermittent cracks began to appear. Developed economies outside the U.S. continued to languish as seen through manufacturing sentiment gauges. Eventually, this filtered through to the U.S. economy by mid-2019. In an effort to mitigate structural economic drag, the FOMC embarked on a series of benchmark interest rate cuts. By the end of October, the target range had decreased three times to a range of 1.50% to 1.75%.

 

Factoring in data at hand and weighing expectations for the year that lay ahead, the adviser fine-tuned tactical strategy to targeting investment opportunities which may outperform in a potentially flat interest rate environment. Historically, the Fund has maintained ample liquidity in an effort to provide portfolio safety. Liquidity had also been a solid tool for taking advantage of investment opportunities when they arise. With expectations that a stable target interest rate environment may be on the horizon for 2019, the portfolio management team adjusted strategy to accommodate investment options while securing value for shareholders. As the FOMC adjusted its stance to potentially move its benchmark interest rate lower later in the year, the team again altered its strategy. The strategy employed favored extending the weighted average maturity of the portfolio to guard against declining interest rates. This investment strategy was maintained for the remainder of the year.

 

For 2019 the portfolio management team targeted a longer weighted average maturity. This strategy allowed the management team opportunity to alter investments as the environment changed. Currently, we believe the FOMC will continue to contemplate its benchmark interest rate strategy. We believe the committee may again be more receptive to altering its rate path lower given economic uncertainties. We do anticipate any further interest rate actions to remain drawn out versus historical interest rate cycles. Our sector allocation favors an overweight to high-quality liquid investments. Depending on investment opportunities we will continue to explore investment alternatives in short-term, high-quality corporate debt product without adding undo risk.

 

As we completed 2019, our belief was that the Fund should be positioned to maintain strong performance into 2020. In the event FOMC policy changes, we believe the portfolio is positioned to perform in the resulting environment. We will continuously monitor strategy relative to market opportunities and act in the best interest of our shareholders.

2019 Annual Report | December 31, 2019

 

 

The Fund operates as a retail money market fund and is limited to accounts beneficially owned by natural persons. Investment performance assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The subsidized 7-day current yield is the current annualized net yield of the Fund. The unsubsidized 7-day current yield does not reflect the effect of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements made by the Fund’s investment adviser. The 7-day current yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the Fund than total return.

 

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the share price of the Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

Institutional Prime Money Market Fund

 

The Meeder Institutional Prime Money Market Fund offers a floating net asset value (FNAV). An FNAV fund is characterized by a net asset value which could vary incrementally above or below $1.00 per share. The objective of this fund is to maintain a FNAV near $1.00 per share while offering a competitive return to shareholders. The adviser to the Fund accomplishes the objective by investing in short-term, high-quality money market debt obligations. Money market debt obligations may be offered by the U.S. Government and its agencies but may also include obligations of fundamentally sound corporate issuers.

 

Over the past several years the Money Market Fund industry has been faced with challenges from zero bound interest rates to regulatory changes. Regardless of the event, money fund managers digested what was put before them and marched ahead. In time, perseverance was rewarded with higher interest rates. From the end of 2015 to the end of 2018, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) increased its benchmark interest rate nine times ending at a target range of 2.25% to 2.50%. However, in the ever-changing world known as “capital markets” even these advantageous interest rates could be short-lived.

 

The New Year, 2019, started with several potential obstacles posing challenges to global sentiment and circulated speculation about the global growth path moving forward. Discussions surrounding global trade, while simmering in the background over the last couple of years, became a steady headline throughout the year. FOMC Chairperson, Jerome Powell, and cohorts in the committee stressed vigilance in the first half on 2019 vowing to consider all scenarios and ramifications for the domestic economy. As a result, the benchmark range for interest rates was unchanged through June. Amid the news that the U.S. economy was stable relative to that of its peers, intermittent cracks began to appear. Developed economies outside the U.S. continued to languish as seen through manufacturing sentiment gauges. Eventually, this filtered through to the U.S. economy by mid-2019. In an effort to mitigate structural economic drag, the FOMC embarked on series of benchmark interest rate cuts. By the end of October, the target range had decreased three times to a range of 1.50% to 1.75%.

 

Factoring in data at hand and weighing expectations for the year that lay ahead, the adviser fine-tuned tactical strategy to targeting investment opportunities which may outperform in a potentially flat interest rate environment. Historically, the Fund has maintained ample liquidity in an effort to provide portfolio safety. Liquidity had also been a solid tool for taking advantage of investment opportunities when they arise. With expectations that a stable target interest rate environment may be on the horizon for 2019, the portfolio management team adjusted strategy to accommodate investment options while securing value for shareholders. As the FOMC adjusted its stance to potentially move its benchmark interest rate lower later in the year, the team again altered its strategy. The strategy employed favored extending the weighted average maturity of the portfolio to guard against declining interest rates. This investment strategy was maintained for the remainder of the year.

 

For 2019 the portfolio management team targeted a longer weighted average maturity. This strategy allowed the management team opportunity to alter investments as the environment changed. Currently, we believe the FOMC will continue to contemplate its benchmark interest rate strategy. We believe the committee may again be more receptive to altering its rate path lower given economic uncertainties. We do anticipate any further interest rate actions to remain drawn out versus historical interest rate cycles. Our sector allocation favors an overweight to high-quality liquid investments. Depending on investment opportunities we will continue to explore investment alternatives in short-term, high-quality corporate debt product without adding undo risk.

 

As we completed 2019, our belief was that the Fund should be positioned to maintain strong performance into 2020. In the event FOMC policy changes, we believe the portfolio is positioned to perform in the resulting environment. We will continuously monitor strategy relative to market opportunities and act in the best interest of our shareholders.

2019 Annual Report | December 31, 2019

 

 

Investment performance assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The Fund’s performance prior to October 7, 2016 reflects the performance of a predecessor fund, the Institutional Class of the Meeder Prime Money Market Fund, which was distributed and transferred to the Institutional Prime Money Market Fund upon its inception. The subsidized 7-day current yield is the current annualized net yield of the Fund. The unsubsidized 7-day current yield does not reflect the effect of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements made by the Fund’s investment adviser. The 7-day current yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the Fund than total return.

 

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the share price of the Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2019

 

 

1.    Organization

 

Meeder Funds (the Trust) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust offers eleven separate series, all of which are included in this report: Muirfield Fund (Muirfield), Spectrum Fund (Spectrum), Global Allocation Fund (Global), Balanced Fund (Balanced), Moderate Allocation Fund (Moderate), Conservative Allocation Fund (Conservative), Dynamic Allocation Fund (Dynamic), Quantex Fund (Quantex), Total Return Bond Fund (Bond), Prime Money Market Fund (Prime Money Market), and Institutional Prime Money Market Fund (Institutional Prime Money Market)(the Funds).

 

Each Fund, except Prime Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market, offers three classes of shares: Retail Class, Adviser Class, and Institutional Class. Prime Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market offer only one class of shares. The share classes differ with respect to distribution fees, service fees, and other expenses allocated to each class. Eligibility to purchase Adviser and Institutional Class shares is generally limited to customers of financial intermediaries who enter into special arrangements with the Funds or who meet certain initial investment minimums.

 

Prime Money Market operates as a retail money market fund. The Fund maintains a stable net asset value of $1.00 and is only available for purchase in accounts beneficially owned by natural persons. Institutional Prime Money Market operates as an institutional money market fund open to all forms of investors. Its net asset value fluctuates based upon changes in the value of its investments and the value of its shares is calculated daily to four decimal places. Prime Money Market and Institutional Prime Money Market have adopted policies and procedures to impose liquidity fees on redemptions or temporary redemption gates in the event that the Funds’ weekly liquid assets fall below designated thresholds and the Board of Trustees determines that such liquidity fees or redemption gates are in the best interests of the Fund.

 

For more information regarding the Funds’ objectives, strategies, and differences in share classes, please refer to the Funds’ prospectus.

 

2.    Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain 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. The Trust is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services Companies. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Trust and the Funds:

 

Securities valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note #3.

 

Repurchase agreements. Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions whereby the Fund takes possession of an underlying debt instrument subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase the instrument from the Fund and an obligation of the Fund to resell the instrument at an agreed upon price and term. At all times, the Fund maintains the fair value of collateral, including accrued interest, of at least 100% of the amount of the repurchase agreement, plus accrued interest. If the seller defaults or the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

 

Short sales. Spectrum may enter into short sales as part of its overall portfolio management strategy or to offset a potential decline in value of a security. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to various types of securities, including ETFs. A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns, as well as securities that it does not own. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund’s investment performance may also suffer if the Fund is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. The Fund must segregate assets determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures established by the Board, or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner. The Fund will be required to pledge its liquid assets to the broker in order to secure its performance on short sales. As a result, the assets pledged may not be available to meet the Fund’s needs for immediate cash or other liquidity. In addition, the Fund may be subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the Fund’s open short positions. These types of short sales expenses are sometimes referred to as the “negative cost of carry,” and will tend to cause the Fund to lose money on a short sale even in instances where the price of the underlying security sold short does not change over the duration of the short sale. Dividend expenses on securities sold short and borrowing costs will be borne by the Fund and are reflected in the Statements of Operations.

 

Futures & options. Each Fund, except the Money Market Funds, may engage in transactions in financial futures contracts and options contracts in order to manage the risk of unanticipated changes in market values of securities held in the Fund, or which it intends to purchase. The futures and options contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency, or index, and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses in the statement of assets and liabilities and the statement of operations until the contract settlement date, at which time realized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations.

 

Page 130

2019 Annual Report | December 31, 2019

 

 

To the extent that a Fund enters into futures contracts on an index or group of securities, the Fund exposes itself to an indeterminate liability and will be required to pay or receive a sum of money measured by the change in the fair value of the index. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit an initial margin, which is either cash or securities (disclosed as pledged as collateral on the Schedules of Investments) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequently, margin movements, which are equal to changes in the daily price or last sale price on the exchanges where futures contracts trade, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contract is closed. When the contract is closed, the 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. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged assets. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Except for the Money Market Funds, it is normal practice for each Fund to invest in futures contracts on a daily basis. The Funds, except for Bond and the Money Market Funds, typically utilize equity index futures contracts to equitize cash positions or adjust targeted stock market exposure. Except for the Money Market Funds, the fixed income portion of any Fund can utilize Treasury futures contracts in order to adjust duration.

 

Call and put option contracts involve the payment of a premium for the right to purchase or sell an individual security or index aggregate at a specified price until the expiration of the contract. Such transactions expose the Fund to the loss of the premium paid if the Fund does not sell or exercise the contract prior to the expiration date. In the case of a call option, sufficient cash or money market instruments will be segregated to complete the purchase. Options are fair valued on the basis of the daily settlement price or last sale on the exchanges where they trade and the changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until closed, exercised or expired. For the year ended December 31, 2019, there were no call or put options transacted for any of the Funds.

 

The Funds may write covered call or put options for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. When written options are closed or exercised, premiums received are offset against the proceeds paid, and the Fund records realized gains or losses for the difference. When written options expire, the liability is eliminated, and the Fund records realized gains for the entire amount of premiums received. Although permitted, it is currently not normal practice for the Funds to write call and put options and none were written during the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

The fair value of derivative instruments, not accounted for as hedging instruments, as reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2019 was as follows:

Federal income taxes. It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds recognize the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2016 through December 31, 2019) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and certain State tax authorities; however the Funds are 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. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Funds did not incur any material interest or penalties.

 

Distributions to shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Muirfield, Spectrum, Global, Balanced, Moderate, Conservative, Dynamic, and Quantex declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, on a quarterly basis. Bond declares and pays dividends from net investment income on a monthly basis. The Money Market Funds declare dividends from net investment income on a daily basis and pay such dividends on a monthly basis. Each Fund distributes net capital gains, if any, on an annual basis.

2019 Annual Report | December 31, 2019

 

 

Distributions from net investment income and from net capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Permanent differences relate to redemptions treated as distributions for tax purposes (i.e. equalization). Accordingly, timing differences relating to shareholder distributions are reflected in the components of net assets and permanent book and tax differences have been reclassified within the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Funds made the following reclassifications to increase/(decrease) the components of net assets:

Investment income & expenses. For all Funds, except the Money Market Funds, income and expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds based on each Fund’s relative net assets or other appropriate basis.

 

Capital Share Transactions. All Funds, except the Money Market Funds, are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares in the Retail Class, the Adviser Class, and the Institutional Class. Transactions in the capital shares of the Funds for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 were as follows:

Offsetting Assets & Liabilities. The Funds are party to enforceable master netting arrangements between counter parties, such as the securities lending agreement, which provides for the right of offset under certain circumstances, such as the event of default. The securities lending transactions have an overnight and continuous contractual maturity. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The table below reflects the offsetting assets and liabilities relating to securities lending, futures contracts, and repurchase agreements shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at December 31, 2019.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”), “Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which amends the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), “Fair Value Measurement.” ASU 2018-13 includes new, eliminated, and modified disclosure requirements for ASC 820. In addition, ASU 2018-13 clarifies that materiality is an appropriate consideration when evaluating disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted, and the Fund has adopted ASU 2018-13 with these financial statements.

 

Other. The Funds record security transactions on the trade date. Gains and losses realized from the sale of securities are determined on the specific identification basis. Dividend income and dividend expenses are recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recognized as earned. Short-term capital gain distributions from underlying funds are classified as dividend income for financial reporting purposes. Long-term capital gains distributions are separately stated. Discounts and premiums are amortized using the effective yield over the lives of the respective securities. Distributions received from partnerships are recorded as return of capital distributions. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 

Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or return of capital. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Funds must use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions for financial statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to the Funds’ shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by the Funds’ shareholders may represent a return of capital.

3.    Securities Valuations

 

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are as follows:

 

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have 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 – Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ 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.

 

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

 

Equity securities (including publicly traded partnerships, real estate investment trusts, American depositary receipts, exchange traded funds, and common stock). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Investments in registered open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the daily redemption net asset value as reported by the underlying fund and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Short-term notes (including bank obligations, commercial paper, corporate obligations, repurchase agreements, U.S. government agency obligations, and floating rate demand notes). Short-term notes held in the Funds, except Prime Money Market, maturing more than sixty days after the valuation date, are valued at the last sales price as of the close of business on the day of valuation, or, lacking any sales, at the most recent bid price or yield equivalent as obtained from dealers that make markets in such securities. When valued at last sales price, the securities will be categorized as level 1. When using bid prices or yield equivalents, they will be categorized as level 2. When such securities are valued within sixty days or less to maturity, the difference between the valuation existing on the sixty-first day before maturity and maturity value is amortized on a straight-line basis to maturity and will be categorized as level 2.

 

All securities held in Prime Money Market, other than money market funds, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and will be categorized as level 2.

 

Certificates of deposit. Except for Institutional Money Market, certificates of deposit are valued at acquisition cost, which approximates fair value, and will be categorized as level 2. For Institutional Money Market, certificates of deposit are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data, and will be categorized as level 2.

 

U.S. government obligations. U.S. government obligations are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. In either case, these securities will be categorized as level 2.

 

Restricted securities (equity and debt). Restricted securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Trustees. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Derivative instruments (futures contracts). Listed derivative instruments that are actively traded, including futures contracts, are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Funds did not hold any assets at any time in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value. Therefore, no reconciliation of level 3 securities is provided. The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2019.

Certain Funds have entered into securities lending arrangements with Huntington National Bank (“HNB”). Under the terms of the agreement, HNB is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved brokers. In exchange, under normal market conditions, the Funds receive cash collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of securities loaned. The cash collateral is invested in short term instruments as noted in the Schedules of Investments. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. In addition, the Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the investment of cash collateral received. After predetermined rebates to brokers, a percentage of the net securities lending revenue is credited to the Funds to be used as an offset against charges incurred by the Funds. HNB is paid a fee for administering the securities lending program for the Funds, equal to the remaining percentage of the net securities lending revenues generated under the agreement. As of December 31, 2019, Muirfield, Spectrum, Balanced, Moderate, Dynamic, and Quantex had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in securities as listed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. For the year ended December 31, 2019, income earned through securities lending arrangements was as follows:

The Funds have adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for the independent Trustees. Under the Plan, each eligible Trustee is permitted to defer all or a portion of the trustees fees payable by any of the Funds as an investment into any combination of Funds until a specified point of time. The investment into the Funds is recorded as an asset however an offsetting liability is also recorded for the deferred payment. Amounts deferred under the Plan may be distributed in a lump sum or generally equal annual installments over a period of up to ten (10) years to the eligible Trustee(s). The Funds may terminate this Plan at any time.

 

Certain trustees and officers of the Funds are also officers or directors of Meeder, MAM, and MFSCo.

*

Total dividends paid may differ from the amount reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because for tax purposes dividends are recognized when actually paid. Short-term capital gains distributions are taxed as ordinary income.

**

The differences between book- and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable primarily to: wash sales and the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/(losses) on certain derivative instruments.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the following Funds have capital loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2019, which are not subject to expiration and are available to offset future capital gains, if any. To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains that are offset will not be distributed to shareholders:

7.    Control 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 December 31, 2019, beneficial owners that held more than 25% of the voting securities of the Funds and may be deemed to control the Funds are as follows:

8.    Contingencies and Commitments

 

The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 

9.    Subsequent Events

 

Management evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued and concluded no subsequent events required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets & liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Meeder Funds comprising Muirfield Fund, Spectrum Fund, Global Allocation Fund, Balanced Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund, Conservative Allocation Fund, Dynamic Allocation Fund, Quantex Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, Prime Money Market Fund, and Institutional Prime Money Market Fund (the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2019, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years or periods in the period then ended for Muirfield Fund, Spectrum Fund, Global Allocation Fund, Balanced Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund, Conservative Allocation Fund, Dynamic Allocation Fund, Quantex Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, Prime Money Market Fund and for each of the four periods or years in the period then ended for the Institutional Prime Money Market Fund (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2019, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2004.

Shareholder Expense Analysis (unaudited)

 

 

Shareholders of mutual funds pay ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, distribution and service fees and other fund operating expenses. The following examples are 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 examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the period of time indicated in the table below.

 

The Actual Expense example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. 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 (e.g.: an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

The Hypothetical Expense example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of any Fund. 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 to 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 tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, hypothetical information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if any transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

 

1

Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized net expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half year period).

2

Annualized net expense ratio reflects contractual or voluntary waivers and reimbursements of expenses by the investment adviser and transfer agent.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)

 

 

At a meeting held September 26, 2019, the Board of Trustees (“Board”), including all of its Independent Trustees, met in person to consider the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (“Agreement”) between the Funds and Meeder Asset Management, Inc. (“Adviser”).

 

Approval Process. Pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), the Board is required to consider the continuation of the Funds’ investment advisory agreement on an annual basis. Prior to the meeting, the Board reviewed materials sent to each Trustee in advance of the meeting in response to the Funds’ independent legal counsel’s supplemental written request pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act for the provision to the Trustees of appropriately updated and amended information necessary or appropriate to assist the Trustees in their deliberations concerning renewal of the Agreement between the Adviser and each of the Funds. In reaching the decision to renew the Agreement, the Board also took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings. Information furnished and discussed throughout the year included investment performance reports and related financial information for the Funds, as well as periodic reports on shareholder services, legal compliance, pricing, brokerage commissions, execution and other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates.

 

Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal process included a report for the Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Ltd. (“Broadridge”), an independent organization, as well as the Funds’ profitability analysis prepared by the Adviser. The Broadridge report compared each Fund’s advisory fees and expenses with those of other mutual funds deemed comparable to the Fund. The Funds’ profitability analysis discussed the profitability to the Adviser and Mutual Funds Service Co., an affiliate of the Adviser, from the overall Funds’ operations, as well as an analysis based on the profitability resulting from the operation of each individual Fund, utilizing expense allocation methodologies deemed reasonable by the Adviser.

 

In considering such materials, the Independent Trustees also received assistance and advice from and met separately with the Funds’ independent legal counsel and the chief compliance officer prior to the meeting. In their deliberations, the Board considered the terms of the existing Agreement between the Funds and the Adviser. While attention was given to all of the information furnished, the Board made the following specific findings in connection with its decision to renew the Agreement:

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the reputation, qualifications, experience and capabilities of the personnel performing these services. The Board considered the qualifications of the investment management team and the resources committed to maintaining and improving the Adviser’s quantitative models. The Board noted that the Adviser and its affiliates provide a series of additional administrative services for the Funds, including fund accounting, transfer agency and compliance services, and recognized the continuing expenditures made to support and improve the scope of those services. Consideration was also given to the Adviser’s compliance resources and policies, including the periodic reporting provided to the Board. In making its judgment, the Board also considered the Adviser’s continual management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal and regulatory risk as it relates to the Funds as well as the manner in which the Adviser addressed new regulatory burdens that became effective during the preceding year. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser have benefited and should continue to benefit each Fund and its shareholders.

 

Investment Performance. The Board placed emphasis on the investment performance of each Fund in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings during the year, particular attention in assessing performance was given to the Broadridge reports furnished for the Agreement renewal. The Broadridge report prepared for each Fund showed the investment performance of the Fund for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended June 30, 2019 in comparison with a performance universe similar to each Fund’s investment objectives. The Board evaluated performance in light of the investment strategy pursued by the Adviser, measures of investment risk, and steps taken by the Adviser to mitigate risk through active management of the portfolio. The Board noted that the Funds generally underperformed over the short-term and generally outperformed over the long-term. The Board was satisfied with the Adviser’s explanation of the factors that contributed to both the short-term and long-term performance of the Funds. The Board noted the Adviser’s continued efforts to improve performance and improve the quantitative models. The Board concluded that the Funds’ investment results have been satisfactory for renewal of the Agreement and that the Adviser’s record in managing the Funds indicated that its continued management should benefit the Funds and their shareholders.

 

Costs of Services. Consideration was given to a comparative analysis of the advisory fees and expense ratios of each Fund compared with those of a group of other relevant funds. The Board observed that the Funds’ advisory fees and expenses were within the range of those of other similar funds included in the comparable reports. The Board also considered an analysis comparing the Funds’ advisory fees with the fees charged by the Adviser to private clients, but noted the significant investment, operational, regulatory, and market differences between advising the Funds and advising private clients. The Board was satisfied with the Adviser’s continued efforts to reduce fees and expenses. The Board concluded that the Funds’ cost structures were fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided, and that the Funds’ shareholders receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Adviser by the Funds.

 

Management Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Funds’ profitability analysis that addresses the overall profitability of the Meeder Funds’ business as well as the profitability resulting from the operation of each Fund. The Board also took into account management’s expenditures in improving shareholder services provided to the Funds, as well as the need to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent SEC requirements. The Board determined that the level of profits realized by the Adviser under its Agreement with the Funds was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services provided.

Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale are realized as the Funds grow larger and the extent to which this is reflected in the level of advisory fees charged. While recognizing that any precise determination is inherently subjective, the Board noted that economies of scale may develop for certain Funds as their assets increase, and their Fund level expenses decline as a percentage of assets. The Board also considered whether the advisory fee rate is reasonable in relation to the asset size of each Fund and any economies of scale that may exist. The Board acknowledged that the advisory fee structure for each Fund is reasonable and in most instances is tiered by assets under management, allowing the shareholders to benefit from economies of scale as the Funds grow in size. The Board expressed continued satisfaction with each Fund’s fee structure under its Agreement.

 

Ancillary Benefits. The Board also considered ancillary benefits received by the Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Trust, including its access to research that benefits other clients and the service of its affiliates as transfer agent, administrator and distributor for the Funds. The fees for these services were considered separately in the profitability analysis and the Board considered the revenue and expenses incurred by the Adviser and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also took into consideration additional contractual breakpoints in certain affiliated service agreements. The Board also considered the benefits derived by the Adviser from soft dollar arrangements, noting that these arrangements are subject to regular reporting and oversight. The Board took the ancillary benefits into account in evaluating the reasonableness of the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Adviser by the Funds.

 

Conclusion. Based upon the foregoing findings as well as all of the information provided by the Adviser, the Board, including all of its Independent Trustees, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreement, including the existing advisory fee structure, are fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. The Board, including all of its Independent Trustees, therefore approved the continuation of the Agreement effective for a one-year term ending September 30, 2020.

 

Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program

 

 

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (“Liquidity Rule”) under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (“Program”). The purpose of the Program is to outline the techniques, tools and arrangements employed for the management of liquidity risk within the Funds, and the terms, contents and frequency of reporting and escalation of any issues to the Board of Trustees. Liquidity is managed taking account of the investment strategy, liquidity profile, and redemption history, with the objective of maintaining a level of liquidity that is appropriate in light of the Funds’ obligations to the Funds’ shareholders. The Program assesses liquidity risk under both normal and stressed market conditions.

 

The Board of Trustees reviewed the Program during the Funds’ most recent fiscal half-year, including a written report prepared by the Program Administrator. The report reviewed the terms and operation of the Program, investment strategy and liquidity of the Funds, cash flow projections, shareholder concentration and holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Adviser utilizes quantitative tools that provide daily evaluation of the liquidity of nearly all Funds’ securities. The Program Administrator was satisfied with the design, operation and effectiveness of the Program and reported that there were no liquidity events that materially affected the performance of the Funds or the Funds’ ability to meet their redemption obligations under normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions without dilution to existing shareholders.

 

The report confirmed that the Funds’ investment strategies utilize highly liquid securities and do not maintain concentrated positions. The Funds also maintain significant holdings of cash and cash equivalents, which were judged suitable to meet redemption needs under ordinary and reasonably stressed market conditions. During the reporting period, the Funds maintained a high level of liquidity and primarily held assets in securities judged highly liquid under the Liquidity Rule. As a result, the Funds see no reason to, and therefore have not adopted a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum,” as defined under the Liquidity Rule.

 

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Further information on liquidity risks of the Funds can be found in the Funds’ prospectus.

 CODE OF ETHICS

FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND SENIOR FINANCIAL OFFICERS

OF THE MEEDER FUNDS

 

       This Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Senior Financial Officers (referred to in this document as the "Code") has been adopted by the Meeder Funds (referred to herein as the "Company"), on behalf of its series (individually, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") to effectuate compliance with Section 406 under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules adopted pursuant to Section 406.

 

       This Code applies to the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, or persons performing similar functions ("Covered Officers"). A listing of positions currently within the ambit of Covered Officers is attached as EXHIBIT A.1

 

1. Purpose of the Code

 

This Code sets forth standards and procedures that are reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote:

 

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a Fund files with, or submits to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications made by the Company;

 

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

  

 

1 The obligations imposed by this Code on Covered Officers are separate from and in addition to any obligations that may be imposed on such persons as Covered Persons under the Code of Ethics adopted by the Company, under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and any other code of conduct applicable to Covered Officers in whatever capacity they serve. This Code does not incorporate by reference any provisions of the Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics and accordingly, any violations or waivers granted under the Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics will not be considered a violation or waiver under this Code.

 

 

 

the prompt internal reporting of violations of this Code to the Code Administrator identified below; and

 

accountability for adherence to this Code.

 

In general, the principles that govern honest and ethical conduct, including the avoidance of conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, reflect, at the minimum, the following: (1) the duty at all times in performing any responsibilities as the Company financial officer, accountant or principal executive officer to place the interests of the Company ahead of personal interests; (2) the fundamental standard that Covered Officers should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions; (3) the duty to assure that the Company's financial statements and reports to its shareholders are prepared honestly and accurately in accordance with applicable rules, regulations and accounting standards; and (4) the duty to conduct the Company's business and affairs in an honest and ethical manner. Each Covered Officer should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

 

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Company and Meeder Asset Management, Inc. (“MAM”) of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Company or MAM, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on MAM and the Company. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Company and MAM and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Company. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. This Code provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Company.

 

2. Prohibitions

 

The specific provisions and reporting requirements of this Code are concerned primarily with promoting honest and ethical conduct and avoiding conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships. No Covered Officer may use information concerning the business and affairs of a Fund, including the investment intentions of a Fund, or use his or her ability to influence such investment intentions, for personal gain to himself or herself, his or her family or friends or any other person or in a manner detrimental to the interests of a Fund or its shareholders.

 

2 

 

No Covered Officer may use his or her personal influence or personal relationships to influence the preparation and issuance of financial reports of a Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund and its shareholders.

 

No Covered Officer shall intentionally for any reason take any action or fail to take any action in connection with his or her official acts on behalf of a Fund that causes the Fund to violate applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

No Covered Officer shall, in connection with carrying out his or her official duties and responsibilities on behalf of a Fund:

 

  (i) employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud a Fund or its shareholders;

 

  (ii) intentionally cause a Fund to make any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading in its official documents, regulatory filings, financial statements or communications to the public;

 

  (iii) engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any Fund or its shareholders;

 

  (iv) engage in any manipulative practice with respect to any Fund;

 

  (v) use his or her personal influence or personal relationships to influence any business decision, investment decisions, or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund or its shareholders;

 

  (vi) intentionally cause a Fund to fail to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including failure to comply with the requirement of full, fair, accurate, understandable and timely disclosure in reports and documents that a Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund;

 

  (vii) intentionally mislead or omit to provide material information to a Fund's independent auditors or to the Company's Board of Trustees or the officers of the Company or its investment adviser in connection with financial reporting matters;

 

  (viii) fail to notify the Code Administrator promptly if he or she becomes aware of any existing or potential violations of this Code or applicable laws;

 

  (ix) retaliate against others for, or otherwise discourage the reporting of, actual or apparent violations of this Code; or

 

3 

 

  (x) fails to acknowledge or certify compliance with this Code if requested to do so.
