Bond Funds (Written by Portfolio Manager Bill Mock)
The last fiscal year can easily be broken in to two distinct periods, with the first being from September 2019 through mid-February 2020. During this first half of the fiscal year, the biggest change in the bond markets was the reduction of the inversion in the short end of the yield curve as the Federal Reserve solidified their shift from hawkish to dovish by easing the Fed Funds target rate by 25 basis points (bp) at both the September and October 2019 meetings. The market focus during this period, as in the prior fiscal year, continued to be on Federal Reserve policy and trade disputes with China. The labor market showed continued strength with the US unemployment rate reported to be 3.5% in February 2020, inflation was showing some signs of picking up with the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) over 2% for four consecutive months from November 2019 to February 2020 and the GDP, while not stellar, showed growth of 2.6% and 2.4% respectively for the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2019.
The second period of the fiscal year from mid-February to August 2020 was dominated by the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic. The initial economic concerns regarded supply chain disruptions as China imposed lockdowns to try to stop the spread, followed by imposition of travel bans and then the first case in the mainland US in January 2020. In February, the first cases of community spreading of Covid-19 were reported and the markets shifted to a “risk-off stance,” or a shift away from equities to fixed income. March brought the imposition of lockdowns across the United States, resulting in sharp declines in equities and both corporate and municipal debt markets, with US Treasuries yields falling to historical lows as a safe-haven during this period. The lockdowns spurred massive unemployment, with the US unemployment rate jumping to 14.7% in April 2020. Economic activity contracted dramatically, with US GDP being reported at -5.0% for Q1 2020 and -31.4% for Q2 2020. The federal government responded rapidly to the economic chaos with the $2.2 trillion stimulus package, the CARES Act, and the Federal Reserve introduced an array of initiatives that included dropping the Fed Funds rate twice in March 2020 by a total of 150 bp to a target rate of 0-25 bp, purchasing $2.2 trillion in US Treasuries and mortgage backed securities between mid-March and mid-June 2020, and establishing facilities to seek to ensure the liquidity of corporate and municipal bond markets.
The markets responded to the combination of fiscal and monetary stimulus with rallies that left the major equity indices, the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond index all with positive returns for the fiscal year. We believe that the actual economy will be much slower to recover and will be fragile until there is widespread implementation of a vaccine or improvements in therapeutic treatment that alleviate the impact of Covid-19. The US unemployment rate has improved, but still stands at 8.4% at fiscal year end.
In response to the Federal Reserve easing, 3 month T-bill rates fell ~50 bp over the first two months of the Funds’ fiscal year and were then range bound just above 1.50% until the impact of Covid-19 on the markets, at which point they dropped rapidly in March, before stabilizing and trading in a range of 0.07% to 0.17% from mid-April through the end of the fiscal year, ending the year at 0.09%. The yield on the two-year note started at was range bound, or consistently trading, near 1.50% from the start of the fiscal year through mid-February when it fell rapidly through the end of March, then traded in a range between 0.11% and 0.23% for the remainder of the fiscal year, ending at 0.13%.
Intermediate and longer dated US Treasuries followed the same pattern as the two year notes, with a range bound trade from the beginning of the fiscal year until mid-February, a sharp drop in yield through the end of March, and then a range bound trade for the remainder of the fiscal year. The 5 year note traded in a range around 1.60% until mid-February, falling through March, and range bound from mid-April to fiscal year end between 0.19% and 0.46%, ending the year at 0.27%. The 10 year bond traded in a range around 1.70% until mid-February, falling through March, and range bound from mid-April to fiscal year end between 0.50% and 0.90%, ending the year at 0.71%. The 30 year bond traded in a range around 2.20% until mid-February, falling to an all time low of 0.997% on March 9, 2020, before resuming a range bound trade from mid-April to fiscal year end between 1.16% and 1.66%, ending the year at 1.48%.
The U.S. Government Securities Fund (CAUSX) ended the fiscal year on August 31, 2020 with a weighted average duration of 4.59 years and a total return of the Direct Shares for the period of 4.78%. CAUSX returns fell between the returns for the bothe the primary and secondary benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Index and the Bloomberg Barclays GNMA index, which returned 6.98% and 3.88% respectively over the period of the fiscal year. CAUSX demonstrated high levels of correlation to both benchmarks over the course of the year as all were subject to the macroeconomic impact of the Federal Reserve and Covid-19, with correlation coefficients of 0.98 and 0.58 to the Bloomberg Barclays US Treasury Index and Bloomberg Barclays GNMA index respectively. All the securities in CAUSX are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
The United States Treasury Trust (UTSXX) ended the fiscal year on August 31, 2020 with a total return of 0.67%. As a US government money market fund, the underlying market yields are largely dictated by the actions of the Federal Reserve Bank, primarily the previously discussed cuts to the Federal Funds rate. US Treasury Bill yields approached zero when the Federal Funds target rate was cut to 0-25 bp in March 2020, and no dividend payments were made to UTSXX shareholders between April 30, 2020 and the August 31, 2020 fiscal year end. This will probably remain the case until the Federal Reserve begins to raise the Federal Funds target

rate, which we believe is unlikely to happen until Covid-19 can be effectively treated therapeutically or a vaccine has been widely administered and inflation exceeds the 2% target rate for several consecutive months.
The Green California Tax-Free Income Fund’s (CFNTX) total return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 was 2.31%, and the duration was 4.25 years at fiscal year-end. The benchmark Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index total return for the fiscal year was 3.24%. Most investment grade municipal bonds exhibited very high levels of correlation to the broader market, resulting in CFNTX having a 0.97 correlation coefficient to the benchmark index over the course of the fiscal year. While the performance of the fund was highly correlated to the benchmark, the longer weighted average duration of the benchmark (4.80 years at fiscal year-end) resulted in CFNTX underperforming relative to the index when municipal yields were falling and outperforming when yields were rising. CFNTX maintained an average credit rating of AA during the fiscal year.
California municipal market bond yields do not necessarily move in lock step with US Treasury yields, but are subject to the level and shape of the benchmark U.S. Treasury curve, as well as the specific economic circumstances of both the State of California and each specific issue. The relative value of municipal bonds to US Treasuries, as measured by the Bloomberg AAA Muni Yield % of Treasury, which started the year at relatively expensive historical levels, became even more expensive through the first half of the fiscal year. Though usually viewed as a safe haven, investment grade municipal bonds were caught up in the Covid-19 induced market selloff with the Bloomberg AAA Muni Yield % of Treasury 5 Year going from 62% on February 19, 2020 to a peak of 650% on March 23, 2020. While the Covid-19 induced lockdowns have put severe strain on the revenues of many municipal issues, the combination of fiscal and monetary stimulus provided enough confidence in the market that the Bloomberg AAA Muni Yield % of Treasury 5 Year rallied to 201% by April 13, 2020, and 98% by June 5, 2020, ending the fiscal year at 117%. Though the AAA Muni Yield % of Treasury ratio ended the year higher, the strong rally in US Treasuries resulted in a downward shift in yields across the entire CA municipal yield curve. Standard & Poor’s maintained their rating on CA GO bonds at AA-, Moody’s upgraded their rating from Aa3 to Aa2 in October 2019, and Fitch maintained their AA rating.

Stock Funds (Written by Portfolio Manager Steve Rogers)
By definition, the objective for managing the index funds is to match the performance of the funds to their index benchmarks. Each of our index funds tracked their respective benchmarks tightly during this last fiscal year. We measure the index fund performance by using a correlation coefficient. This is a statistical measure that compares the daily performance of a fund against its benchmark index. A measure of 1.000 indicates that the performance is perfectly correlated and a measure of -1.000 implies they are perfectly negatively correlated. According to Bloomberg, LLC, The S&P 500 Index Fund, Nasdaq-100 Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund and S&P MidCap Index Fund each had a correlation of 1.000 as of the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020.
During the fiscal year, the Direct shares of the S&P 500 Index Fund out-performed the Direct Shares of the S&P MidCap Index Fund and S&P SmallCap Index Fund by posting gains of 21.44%, compared to 4.18% and (0.18)%, respectively. It’s important to note, however, that during the year the relative performance varied substantially. After the new tax bill that went into effect in the beginning of the year, the S&P SmallCap Fund substantially outperformed the S&P 500 and MidCap Index funds. Though the returns of these three funds remained relatively flat for the balance of the fiscal year, the SmallCap fund had a strong rally compared to the other two funds during the last four months.
The Nasdaq-100 Index Fund (Direct Shares) finished up 58.98%, versus a benchmark performance of 59.00%. It is important to note that while this index is a popular and widely tracked investment benchmark, it is constructed in a different way than the S&P indices that we track. As of August 2020, Apple Inc. alone made up 14.28% of the index and the top ten holdings accounted for over 50% of the index. It provides investors a strong technology exposure as well as the related volatility.
The Shelton Core Value Fund is a value fund that focuses on income as well as the potential for capital appreciation. The Direct Shares returned 7.99% for the year. The performance of the fund trailed the U.S. stock market as measured by the S&P 500 Index by 13.93% and beat the LargeCap value market, as measured by the S&P 500 Value Index, by 4.56%. The fund has generated substantial income by writing covered calls and it outperformed the BXM by 13.01% during the fiscal year.
United States equity markets followed a similar market pattern to the fixed income markets during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020. With unemployment at exceptionally low numbers and a strong consumer market, the equity markets rallied to new highs consistently through February 19, 2020. As rumors and then news of the novel coronavirus spread, the optimism reversed and the markets sold off rapidly. The US Equity market fell by almost 34% in just over a month. In managing the Core Value Fund, we spent much of the year positioned to deliver conservative returns while working to protect some of the fund from macro risks in the market. Because of the relatively conservative position of the fund, we believe the fund performed relatively well during the period of the sell off and then lagged as the markets moved higher through the end of the fiscal year.
In a consumer-based economy, one needs to pay attention to consumer health and in turn this means tracking compensation and employment. Our equity view at the time of writing is that that while the economy is recovering some of the lost jobs, there have been major changes and many of these losses will be permanent and risks are substantial. There are key trends that will impact employment, real estate and real estate financing that require close attention. First, remote work appears to have established itself in numerous companies as a semi-permanent strategy. We continue to explore how this will impact employment, confidence, spending and consumer behavior over the next several quarters. Suburban housing market prices have strengthened against the headwinds of rising unemployment. This seems to indicate a trend that those who can are leaving city centers and taking the economic tax-base out of the major cities and into the suburbs. Commercial office real estate is under pressure because companies have utilized communication technologies and work performance issues and social isolation forced rapid adoption and acceptance. Absent broad liability protections, we believe businesses will continue to have liability exposure from their employees and customers. Finally, at the end of the fiscal year, the broad markets were trading at an exceptionally high 26x earnings. These levels are rarely touched and never sustained. The phrase “TINA” has been introduced into the equity markets and it means “there is no alternative” (to stocks). But market declines in the not-so-distance past assures people that there are alternatives and like Zoom, these alternatives are rapidly embraced when necessary.
We believe that government forced shutdowns have harmed the traditional job-creating small businesses to a much larger extent than their larger, better-financed competitors. Some business models are also better suited to quarantine and we expect those businesses to continue to thrive. We believe there will be winners and losers to the consumer shift we are witnessing. And then there is the question of duration of change.
While we cannot predict what the future holds, we can easily make the case that investors who have continued to invest through troubled markets in the past have been rewarded for their tenacity. We encourage you to maintain a diversified portfolio using both stock and bond funds, in a balance that is appropriate for your particular investment objectives.
Green Alpha Fund (Written by Portfolio Managers Jeremy Deems and Garvin Jabush)
The Shelton Green Alpha Fund (the “Fund”) invests primarily in stocks of companies that are believed by the Sub-Advisor, Green Alpha Advisors, LLC, to be leaders in managing, and providing solutions to, economic and environmental risks and opportunities, have above average growth potential and are reasonably valued relative to their long-term growth potential. For the year ending August 31, 2020, the Fund’s return was 60.93%, outperforming the 16.05% return of the MSCI ACWI IMI (Investable Market Index), the Fund’s primary benchmark, and outperforming the 21.92% return of the S&P 500 Index, the Fund’s secondary benchmark.
The 44.88% performance lead over the Fund’s benchmark for the fiscal year was the result of the Fund’s exposure to the biotechnology and related healthcare services industry groups, the auto manufacturers industry group (electric vehicle manufacturers), and the renewable energy industry group. The Fund’s investments in the technology sector also contributed during the period, primarily from the semiconductors industry group. Gains within these sectors were partially offset by losses in natural and organic foods, and in sustainable office furnishings.
While no sectors detracted from performance during the fiscal year, the sectors contributing the least to performance were utilities, communications, and basic materials.
Within the utilities sector, losses by exposure to water utilities partially offset gains from the renewable electric utilities industry group. Within the communications sector, the Fund experienced only modest gains from the internet and telecom industry groups. Within the basic materials sector, share price declines from investments in recycled steel partially offset significant gains from exposure to upstream polysilicon utilized in the manufacturing of photovoltaic (“PV”) solar panels.
In line with the Fund’s environmental focus, the Fund’s investments throughout the year reflected the Sub-Advisor’s view of a diversified portfolio of companies who are leaders in a number of industries including wind energy, solar PV, energy storage, advanced biotech and health technology, artificial intelligence and machine learning, waste-to-value building materials, efficient indusial machinery and automation, electric transportation, mobile communications, Internet of Things, data infrastructure, energy efficiency and lighting, water desalination, and natural foods, among others.

About Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited) August 31, 2020 |
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. Operating expenses, which are deducted from the Funds’ gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Funds. The Funds’ expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (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 at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the tables below 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 you have paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The Funds do not charge any sales charges. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional cost, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period.

Note 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Green California Tax-Free Income Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, The United States Treasury Trust, S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, Nasdaq-100 Index Fund, and Shelton Green Alpha Fund (the “Funds”) are each a series of shares of beneficial interest of the Shelton Funds (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”. The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of no par value shares in one or more series. The Trust, originally organized as two separate Massachusetts business trusts formed by Declarations of Trust dated September 11, 1985, as subsequently amended, was reorganized into a single Delaware statutory trust after the close of trading on December 29, 2006. The investment objectives of the Funds are as follows: Green California Tax-Free Income Fund seeks high current tax-free income for California residents. U.S. Government Securities Fund seeks liquidity, safety from credit risk and as high a level of income as is consistent with these objectives. The United States Treasury Trust seeks high current income exempt from state income taxes while maintaining a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. S&P 500 Index Fund’s objective is to attempt to replicate the total return of the U.S. stock market as measured by the S&P 500 Composite Stock Price Index. S&P MidCap Index Fund attempts to replicate the performance of medium-sized U.S. companies as measured by the S&P MidCap 400 Index. S&P SmallCap Index Fund attempts to replicate the performance of small-sized U.S. companies as measured by the S&P SmallCap 600 Stock Index. The Shelton Core Value Fund’s objective is to achieve a high level of income and capital appreciation (when consistent with high income) by investing primarily in income-producing U.S. equity securities. Shelton Green Alpha Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing in stocks in the green economy. Nasdaq-100 Index Fund attempts to replicate the performance of the largest non-financial companies as measured by the Nasdaq-100 Index.
The U.S. Government Securities Fund, S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, Nasdaq-100 Index Fund and The United States Treasury Trust each offer Class K shares. Effective as of December 27, 2019, The United States Treasury Trust no longer offers Class K shares of the Fund. Income, expenses (other than the expenses attributable to a specific class), realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments of the Funds are allocated proportionately to the two classes of shares offered based on the daily net assets, except for Rule 12b-1 distribution fees and shareholder service fees, which are charged only to K Shares. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
(a) Security Valuation – Equity securities listed on a national exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Futures contracts are valued at the settle price, depending on the exchange the contract trades on, typically as of 4:15 p.m., Eastern Time. Municipal securities are valued by an independent pricing service at a price determined by a matrix pricing method. This technique generally considers such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. U.S. government securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. U.S. agency securities consisting of mortgage pass-through certificates are valued using dealer quotations provided by an independent pricing service. U.S. Treasury Bills are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued on the amortized cost basis as reflecting fair value. The United States Treasury Trust securities are valued at amortized cost, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees and which the Board of Trustees has determined in good faith reflects the market-based net asset value per share. The Fund receives options pricing data from the Trust’s third party pricing service who use the last traded price to quote options positions.
Securities for which market quotes are not readily available from the Trust’s third party pricing service are valued at fair value, determined in good faith and in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Board has delegated to the Advisor’s pricing committee the responsibility for determining the fair value, subject to the Board oversight and the review of the pricing decisions at its quarterly meetings.

(b) Futures Contracts – Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of cash, as collateral, for the account of the broker (a Fund’s agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are made or received depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, Shelton Green Alpha Fund and Nasdaq-100 Index Fund may purchase or sell stock index futures to maintain cash reserves while remaining fully invested, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs, or to seek higher investment returns when a futures contract is priced more attractively than the underlying equity security or index. Risks include the possibility of an illiquid market and an imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the stocks held by a Fund and the prices of futures contracts.
(c) Options – The Shelton Core Value Fund may write call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option. Options can be traded through an exchange or through a privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded through an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse (such as the Options Clearing Corporation). The difference between the premium received or paid, and the market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When an option is exercised, the proceeds of the security sold are adjusted by the amount of premium received. Upon the expiration of the option, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations. The risk in writing a call option is that the market price of the security increases and if the option is exercised, the Fund must either purchase the security at a higher price for delivery or give up the opportunity for profit.
(d) Federal Income Taxes – No provision is considered necessary for federal income taxes. The Funds intend to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders.
(e) Security Transactions, Investment Income and Distributions to Shareholders – Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for, in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date for the Green California Tax-Free Income Fund, the U.S. Government Securities Fund, S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, Shelton Green Alpha Fund and Nasdaq-100 Index Fund. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for futures contracts, redemptions-in-kind and post-October capital losses. For The United States Treasury Trust, dividends from net investment income are declared daily and reinvested or paid in cash monthly. The U.S. Treasury Trust intends to maintain a continuous net asset value per share of $1.00. If net asset value per share using available market information deviates from $1.00 by $.005 or more, the Board of Trustees would consider what steps, if any, should be taken to restore net asset value per share to $1.00.
(f) Concentration – The Green California Tax-Free Income Fund invests in debt instruments of municipal issuers. The issuers’ abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in the state of California.
(g) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements – In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expense during the year. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
(h) Share Valuations – The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding of the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. A Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. Bond and money market funds are closed on Columbus Day (observed) and Veteran’s Day (observed). The offering and redemption price per share of each Fund is equal to a Fund’s NAV per share.
(i) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2017-2019), or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2020 tax returns. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, 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.
(j) Fair Value Measurements – The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
(k) The Funds adopted ASU No. 2017-08 - Premium on amortization on purchased callable debt securities which shortens the premium allocation for non-contingently callable debt securities. Management has assessed these changes and concluded these changes did not have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Trust’s securities at August 31, 2020 using fair value hierarchy:

(k) Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – The Funds have adopted enhanced disclosure regarding derivative and hedging activity intended to improve financial reporting of derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, Nasdaq-100 Index Fund and Shelton Green Alpha Fund can use futures contracts and strategies for achieving the investment objectives.
Although the Funds’ primary risks are associated with changes in the stock market, there are other risks associated with the Funds. For the index funds, these risks generally apply to how well the Funds track the index. For example, the Funds invest in futures contracts to the extent that it holds cash in the portfolio. If these futures contracts do not track the index, the Fund’s performance relative to the respective index will change. For the non-indexed Funds, they may invest in futures contracts to the extent each Fund holds cash in the portfolio. If these futures contracts owned by each Fund do not perform well, the Funds’ performance will be impacted.
Under normal circumstances each Fund may follow a number of investment policies to achieve its objective. Losses involving futures can sometimes be substantial, in part because a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in an immediate and substantial loss for the Funds. In an effort to minimize this risk, the Funds will not use futures for speculative purposes or as leverage. It is the Funds’ policy to hold cash deposits equal or greater than the total market value of any futures position. The value of all futures and options contracts in which the Funds acquire an interest will not exceed 20% of current total assets.
At August 31, 2020, the number of open future contracts in the S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, and Nasdaq-100 Index Fund were 5, 10, 2 and 93, respectively. The Shelton Core Value Fund and Shelton Green Alpha Fund held no futures contracts at August 31, 2020. Only current day’s variation margin is reported as an asset or liability within the statement of assets and liabilities.

Recoupment is limited to the extent the reimbursement does not exceed any applicable expense limit and the effect of the reimbursement is measured after all ordinary operating expenses are calculated; any such reimbursement is subject to the Board of Trustees’ review and approval.

August 31, 2020 |
A Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursement of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is contingent upon Board of Trustee review and approval prior to the time the reimbursement is initiated.
As compensation for administrative duties not covered by the management agreement, Shelton Capital receives an administration fee, which was revised on January 1, 2011. The administration fee is based on assets held, in aggregate, by the Shelton Funds. The fee rates are 0.10% on the first $500 million, 0.08% on the next $500 million, and 0.06% on combined assets over $1 billion. This administration fee is adjusted annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index (rounded to the nearest $10 million) with a base year of 2004. Administration fees are disclosed on the Statement of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also partners of Shelton. Steve Rogers has served as a trustee and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Trust since 1998, and President of the Trust since 1999. Mr. Rogers is also Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser. Gregory T. Pusch has served as the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) of the Trust since March 2017. Mr. Pusch is also employed by Shelton, the Advisor and Administrator to the Trust. The Trust is responsible for the portion of his salary allocated to his duties as the CCO of the Trust during his employment, and Shelton is reimbursed by the Trust for this portion of his salary. The level of reimbursement is reviewed and determined by the Board of Trustees at least annually.
Shelton Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”), as amended August 1, 2012, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whereby the Class K Shares of each Fund of the Shelton Funds pays the Distributor for expenses that relate to the promotion and distribution of shares. Under the Plan, the Class K Shares of the Funds will pay RFS Partners, the Funds’ distributor (the “Distributor”) a fee at an annual rate of 0.25%, payable monthly, of the daily net assets attributable to such Fund’s Class K Shares.
Shelton Funds adopted a Shareholder Services Plan (the “Services Plan”), whereby the K Shares of each Fund of the Shelton Funds pay RFS Partners, the Funds’ Distributor or other service providers, an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class K Shares. Such amounts are compensation for providing certain services to clients owning K Shares, including processing purchase and redemption transactions, assisting in other administrative details and providing other information with respect to each Fund.
For the period ended August 31, 2020, the following were paid by the Class K Shares of each Fund of the Trust:

Note 4 - OPTIONS WRITTEN
Written Options Contracts – Certain Funds may write options to manage exposure to certain changes in the market. When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires, the Fund realizes a gain from investments equal to the amount of the premium received. When a written call option is exercised, the difference between the premium and the amount for effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commission, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received reduces the cost of the security purchased by the Fund. A risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund may forego the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised.
At August 31, 2020, the Shelton Core Value Fund had written option contracts outstanding:
The effect of derivative instruments on the Funds’ Statement of Operations for the period ended August 31, 2020, was as follows:

Note 5 - TAX CHARACTER
Reclassifications: Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended August 31, 2020, there are permanent differences resulting from different book and tax accounting for net operating losses, expiration of capital loss carryforwards, distribution reclassifications, and treatment of accretion of discount. The reclassifications were as follows:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm |
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
of Shelton Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Green California Tax-Free Income Fund, U.S. Government Securities Fund, The United States Treasury Trust, S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P MidCap Index Fund, S&P SmallCap Index Fund, Shelton Core Value Fund, Nasdaq-100 Index Fund and Shelton Green Alpha Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Shelton Funds (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of August 31, 2020, 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, financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of August 31, 2020, 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 their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, 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 have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 1986.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
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 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

30 - Code of Ethics
Policy
This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) is adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) by the Boards of Trustees of Shelton Funds and SCM Trust (the “Trusts”), RFS Partners (the “Distributor”), and by Shelton Capital Management (the “Advisor”), which additionally adopts the Code pursuant to the requirements of Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”).
Introduction
Section 17(j) under the 1940 Act makes it unlawful for persons affiliated with investment companies, their principal underwriters, or their investment advisers to engage in fraudulent personal securities transactions. Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act (the “Rules”) require each fund, investment adviser and principal underwriter to adopt a code of ethics that contains provisions reasonably necessary to prevent an employee from engaging in conduct prohibited by the principles of the Rules. The Rules also require that reasonable diligence be used and procedures be instituted that are reasonably necessary to prevent violations of the code of ethics.
Rule 17j-1 requires Board oversight of personal trading practices, reporting of employee securities trading and preclearance of employee purchases of initial public offerings and private placements. Under Rule 17j-1, the Advisor and the Trusts each provide to the Boards annually a written report that:
1. | describes issues that arose during the previous year under the Code, including information about material Code violations and sanctions imposed, and |
2. | certifies to the Board that it has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent access persons from violating the Code. |
Rule 204A-1 requires that an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act must establish, maintain and enforce a written code of ethics that at a minimum includes:
1. | A standard (or standards) of business conduct that the advisor requires of its supervised persons, which standard must reflect the advisor’s fiduciary obligations and those of its supervised persons; |
2. | Provisions requiring the advisor’s supervised persons to comply with applicable federal securities laws; |
3. | Provisions that require the advisor’s access persons to report, and the advisor to review, their personal securities transactions and holdings periodically as provided under Rule 204A-1; |
4. | Provisions requiring the advisor’s supervised persons to report any violations of the advisor’s code of ethics promptly to the chief compliance officer or, provided the chief compliance officer also receives reports of all violations, to other persons who the advisor designates in its code of ethics; and |
5. | Provisions requiring the advisor to provide each of its supervised persons with a copy of the advisor’s code of ethics and any amendments, and requiring its supervised persons to provide the advisor with a written acknowledgement of their receipt of the code and any amendments. |
The Code is designed to provide a program for detecting and preventing insider trading and other violations of fiduciary duties by requiring Access Persons, as defined herein, to report personal holdings and securities transactions of securities of the types, which any series Fund of the Trusts (each a “Fund”) and other clients of the Advisor may purchase. The reason underlying this reporting requirement is the potential for insiders who have knowledge of what a Fund or other client is doing to take advantage of this information to trade in advance of a Fund or other client. If the Security involved is thinly traded or if the Fund or other client buys or sells in big enough blocks to move the market, this type of insider trading could disadvantage the Fund or unfairly benefit the insider. The Code is also aimed at minimizing conflicts of interest and the appearance of such conflicts.
Statement of General Fiduciary Principles
Fiduciary Standards. The Code is based on the fundamental principle that the Trusts and the Advisor must put clients’ interest first. As an investment adviser, the Advisor has fiduciary responsibilities to clients, including the Trusts and each Fund for which it serves as investment adviser. Among the Advisor’s fiduciary responsibilities is the responsibility to ensure that its employees conduct their personal securities transactions in a manner that does not interfere, or appear to interfere, with any Fund or client transactions or otherwise take unfair advantage of their relationship to the Funds or other clients. All Advisor employees must adhere to this fundamental principle as well as comply with the specific provisions set forth herein. It bears emphasis that technical compliance with such provisions will not insulate from scrutiny transactions that show a pattern of compromise or abuse of an employee’s fiduciary responsibilities to the Funds or other clients. Accordingly, all Advisor employees must seek to avoid any actual or potential conflicts between their personal interests and the interest of the Funds. In sum, all Advisor employees shall place the interest of the Funds and other clients before personal interests.
Compliance with Applicable Federal Securities Laws. In particular, Rule 204A-1 requires that all Advisor employees must comply with all applicable federal securities laws (“Federal Securities Laws”).
General Anti-Fraud and Other Obligations
Under Rule 17j-1 and this Code, no Access Person shall:
1. | employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Trusts or any Fund of the Trusts. |
2. | make to the Trusts any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to the Trusts a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; |
3. | engage in any act, practice or course of business that would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any Fund of the Trusts; or |
4. | engage in any manipulative act or practice with respect to the Trusts or any Fund of the Trusts, including, but not limited to, intentionally inducing or causing the Trusts to take action or to fail to take action, for the purpose of achieving a personal benefit rather than to benefit the Fund, shall be a violation of this Code. |
Examples of this violation include:
1. | causing any Fund of the Trusts to purchase a Covered Security owned by the individual for the purpose of supporting or increasing the price of the Covered Security; |
2. | causing any Fund of the Trusts to refrain from selling a Covered Security in an attempt to protect the value of the individual’s investment, such as an outstanding option; and |
3. | using actual knowledge of transactions for any Fund of the Trusts to profit by the market effect of such transactions shall be a violation of this Code. |
This Code is not intended to cover all possible areas of potential liability under the 1940 Act or under the federal securities laws in general. For example, other provisions of Section 17 of the 1940 Act prohibit various transactions between a registered investment company and affiliated persons, including the knowing sale or purchase of property to or from a registered investment company on a principal basis, and joint transactions (e.g., combining to achieve a substantial position in a Covered Security or commingling of funds) between an investment company and an affiliated person. Persons covered by this Code are advised to seek advice before engaging in any transactions involving securities held or under consideration for purchase or sale by a Fund or other client.
In addition, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) may impose fiduciary obligations and trading restrictions on Access Persons in certain situations. It is expected that Access Persons will be sensitive to these areas of potential conflict, even though this Code does not address specifically these other areas of fiduciary responsibility.
Standard of Conduct and Reporting of Violations
As stated above, the core ethical standard of conduct of the Advisor is that as a fiduciary we put clients’ interests first in the conduct of our business.
Each employee or other Supervised Person of the Advisor must report any violation or suspected violation of this Code or any other compliance policy of the Advisor, RFS Partners (or any of their affiliates) to his or her supervisor or to the CCO immediately upon identifying any violation. In making such a report you are protected against any form of retaliation, even if it turns out after inquiry and investigation there was no violation of the Code or other compliance policies so long as you acted in good faith.
A violation or suspected violation of this Code or any other joint compliance policy of the Funds, Advisor, RFS Partners (or any of their affiliates) relating to the Funds may also be reported to the Board of Trustees of the Funds. Further, any violation or suspected violation relating to accounting or auditing matters, or the financial statements generally of the Funds, may be confidentially reported to the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Funds.
The obligation to report violations or suspected violations of this Code or other compliance policies does not preclude your ability to voluntarily communicate with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the provisions of the whistleblowers rules of the SEC.
Implementation
In order to implement this Code, a compliance officer and an alternate should be designated. For the purpose of this Code, these individuals are: Greg Pusch, CCO.
The compliance officer shall create a list of Advisory Persons and other Access Persons and update the list with reasonable frequency. The compliance officer shall circulate a copy of this Code to each Access Person, together with an acknowledgment of receipt, which shall be signed and returned to the compliance officer by each Access Person, except Independent Trustees. The compliance officer is charged with responsibility for insuring that the reporting requirements of this Code under the Reporting section are adhered to by all Access Persons. The compliance officer shall be responsible for ensuring that the review requirements of this Code set forth in the Review section are performed in a prompt manner. The compliance officer shall also be responsible for giving special prior approval to transactions that would otherwise be prohibited under the Prohibited Purchases and Sales section of this Code.
Independent Trustees who do not have day-to-day contact with the Funds and who do not have specific knowledge of the Funds’ intended investments are not required to file any reports, and there is no restriction on their personal securities trading activities except as provided for under the Exceptions to Reporting Requirements section of this Code.
Additional Definitions
You should pay particular attention to the following definitions to correctly understand your obligations under the Code, including “Beneficial ownership”, “Security” and “Covered Security”.
“Access persons” means any Trustee, Director or General Partner, Officer or Advisory person of a Fund, Trust or the Advisor. Spouses, children and “immediate family members” sharing the household of such persons may also be considered an “Access Person” under this Code to the extent provided in the definition of “Beneficial ownership” below.
“Advisory person” means (1) any employee of (a) the Trusts, (b) the Advisor or (c) any company in control relationship to the Trusts, who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties:
i. | makes, participates in, or has access to nonpublic information regarding, the purchase or sale of a Security by a Fund or other client of the Advisor, or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales; |
ii. | has access to nonpublic information regarding the portfolio holdings of any Fund; |
and (2) any natural person in a control relationship to the Trusts or the Advisor who has access to nonpublic information concerning recommendations made to the Trusts with regard to the purchase or sale of a Security.
A Security is “being considered for purchase or sale” when a recommendation to purchase or sell a Security has been made and communicated and, with respect to the person making the recommendation, when such person seriously considers making such a recommendation.
“Beneficial ownership” shall be interpreted in the same manner as it would be in determining whether a person is subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the 1934 Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, with the exception that the determination of direct or indirect beneficial ownership shall apply to all securities which an Access Person has or acquires. The rules promulgated under Section 16 of the 1934 Act provide that persons are presumed to have an indirect pecuniary interest, and therefore “Beneficial ownership” of, securities that are held by members of a person’s “immediate family” sharing the same household, and that “immediate family” includes any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, and includes adoptive relationships.
“Control” has the same meaning as in Section 2(a) (9) of the 1940 Act, which states that “control” means “the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company.” Ownership of 25% or more of a company’s outstanding voting securities is presumed to give the holder thereof control over the company. Such presumption may be countered by the facts and circumstances of a given situation.
“Federal Securities Laws” means the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, any rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under any of these statutes, the Bank Secrecy Act as it applies to funds and investment advisers, and any rules adopted thereunder by the Commission or the Department of Treasury.
“Independent Trustee” means a member of the Boards of Trustees of the Trusts who is not an “interested person” of the Trusts within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act.
“IPO” means an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the issuer or which, immediately before the registration, was not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act.
“Limited Offering” means an offering exempt from the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2), 4(6) or Rule 504, 505 or 506 under the Securities Act of 1933.
“Purchase or sale of a Security” includes the writing of an option to purchase or sell a Security.
“Security” means: any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting- trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security (including a certificate of deposit) or on any group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a “security”, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing; and it shall include derivative instruments that may not otherwise be defined as securities.
“Covered Security” means any Security, other than: (1) shares of open-end mutual funds other than the Funds; (2) securities issued by the Government of the United States (including Government agencies or instrumentalities); (3) short term debt securities which are “government securities” issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States, or by a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an instrumentality of the Government of the United States pursuant to authority granted by the Congress of the United States; or any certificate of deposit for any of the foregoing; or (4) bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper and high quality short-term debt instruments, repurchase agreements and other money market instruments.
Prohibited Purchases and Sales
Access Persons (other than Independent Trustees) are required to obtain prior written approval from the CCO before making any investment in an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) or Limited Offering. Before approval of any such investment, the transaction will be carefully reviewed for any immediate or future potential conflicts of interest.
No Access Person (except Independent Trustees, who are presumed to have no actual knowledge of the following matters described in sub-clauses (1) and (2) below) shall purchase or sell directly or indirectly, any Covered Security in which he or she has, or by reason of such transactions acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership, which Covered Security to his or her actual knowledge at the time of such purchase or sale:
1. | is being considered for purchase or sale by a Fund (with the exception of Index Funds which are defined as funds that seek to match or track the components of a market index) or other client account; |
2. | has been purchased or sold by a Fund or other client account within the most recent 7 days if such person participated in the recommendation to, or the decision with respect to the purchase or sale of such Covered Security (with the exception of Index Funds). |
These restrictions shall continue to apply until the recommendation has been rejected or any trade instruction to buy or sell has been completed or canceled.
Exempted Transactions/Securities
The prohibitions under the Prohibited Purchases and Sales section of this Code shall not apply to:
1. | Purchases or sales of Covered Securities effected in any account over which the Access Person has no direct or indirect influence or control. |
2. | Purchases or sales of Covered Securities, which fall below $2,000 (except IPOs and Limited Offerings). |
3. | Purchases or sales of Covered Securities, which are non-volitional on the part of the Access Person (except IPOs and Limited Offerings) (e.g., receipt of gifts). |
4. | Purchases of Covered Securities which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment plan. |
5. | Purchases effected of Covered Securities upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer made pro rata to all holders of a class of its Securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired. |
6. | Purchases and sales of Covered Securities, which have received the prior approval in writing (including email) of the compliance officer. Such prior approval may be granted, based on the business judgment of the compliance officer, if the purchase or sale is deemed to pose only a remote potential harm to a Fund or other client, or because the purchase or sale would be unlikely to affect a highly institutional market, or because the purchase or sale are not related economically to the Covered securities to be purchased, sold or held by a Fund or other client |
7. | Purchases and sales of shares issued by an Index Fund. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no exception or exemption applies to any transaction which would violate the General Anti-Fraud Obligations of this Code.
Confidentiality
No Access Person shall reveal to any other person (except in the normal course of his or her duties) any information regarding Securities transactions in respect of the Trusts or other clients, or consideration any such Securities transaction.
All information obtained from any Access Person hereunder shall be kept in strict confidence, except that reports of securities transactions hereunder will be made available to the SEC or any other regulatory or self-regulatory organization to the extent required by law or regulation.
Reporting
Subject to the exceptions set forth below, all Access Persons, with the exception of the Independent Trustees who meet the requirements under the Exceptions to Reporting Requirements section, shall report to the Trusts or the Advisor the information described in this section with respect to transactions in any Security or Covered Security, as applicable, in which such Access Person has, or by reason of such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership.
Quarterly Reporting: Every report shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter and shall contain the following information:
1. | The date of the transaction, the title and the number of shares, the interest rate and maturity date (if applicable), and the principal amount of each Covered Security involved; |
2. | The nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale, or any other type of acquisition of disposition); |
3. | The price at which the transaction was effected; |
4. | The name of the broker, dealer, or bank with or through whom the transaction was effected; and |
5. | The date that the report is being submitted. |
Copies of statements or confirmations containing the information specified above when practicable are received directly by the CCO by mail or electronically, or such information may be provided through the SCT system.
For periods in which no reportable transactions were effected, the report shall contain a representation that no transactions subject to the reporting requirements were effected during the relevant time period.
Any such report may contain a statement that the report shall not be construed as an admission by the person making such report that he has any direct or indirect beneficial ownership in the Covered Security to which the report relates.
Initial and Annual Reporting. Each Access Person (with the exception of the Independent Trustees) must make an Initial Holdings Report within 10 days of becoming an Access Person and, at least once every 12 months or as otherwise determined by the CCO, an Annual Holdings Report. The information may be provided in paper format or through the SCT system as directed by the CCO. Each of these reports must contain the following information current within 30 days before the report is submitted:
1. | the title, number of shares and principal amount of each Covered Security in which the Access Person had any direct or indirect beneficial ownership; |
2. | the name of any broker, dealer or bank with whom the Access Person maintained an account where any Security was held; and |
3. | the date that the report is being submitted. |
Exceptions to Reporting Requirements
An Independent Trustee of the Trusts, is not required to file a report on a transaction in a Covered Security; provided, however, that such Trustee neither knew nor, in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her official duties as a Trustee of the Trusts, should have known that, during the 15-day period immediately preceding or after the date of the transaction by the Trustee, such Covered Security is or was purchased or sold by the Trusts or is or was being considered for purchase by its investment adviser.
An Independent Trustee is not required to furnish the Initial Holdings Report or the Annual Holdings Report specified under the Reporting section of this Code.
Review
The compliance officer (or the alternate, as appropriate) shall compare all reports of personal securities transactions contained in the Initial, Quarterly and Annual Reports described above with completed and contemplated portfolio transactions of each Fund to determine whether a violation of the Code may have occurred (except the Exempted Transactions/Securities described above). If a pattern emerges that indicates abusive trading of Access Persons in relation to the Funds, the matter will be referred to the Boards of Trustees as outlined below.
If the compliance officer determines that any violation of the Code of Ethics, including but not limited to possible abusive trading, has or may have occurred in respect of the Funds or the Trusts, he or she shall, following consultation with counsel to the Trusts, submit his or her written determination, together with the transaction report, if any, and any additional explanatory material provided by the individual(s) concerned, to the Boards of the Trusts, which may elect to make an independent determination of whether a violation has occurred, or undertake further review and inquiry, or take further action, if determined necessary.
The compliance officer (or the alternate, as appropriate) may, in his or her discretion, compare reports of personal securities transactions with completed and contemplated portfolio transactions of other client accounts. If a pattern emerges that indicates abusive trading of Access Persons in relation to investments of clients other than the Funds, or the compliance officer determines that any violation of the Code of Ethics, including but not limited to possible abusive trading, has or may have occurred in respect of clients other than the Funds, or otherwise, senior management of the Advisor will undertake further review, inquiry and take further action, if determined necessary, including making a report to the Boards of the Trustees.
No person shall review his or her own report. Before making any determination that a violation has been committed by any person, the compliance officer shall give such person an opportunity to supply additional explanatory material. If a Covered Securities transaction of the compliance officer is under consideration, the Chairman shall act in all respects in the manner prescribed herein for the compliance officer.
The compliance officer shall take steps to ensure that all reporting Access Persons, except Independent Trustees, have submitted reports in a timely manner. Repeated failure to submit timely reports will be communicated to the Boards of Trustees.
Board Oversight
The Boards of Trustees must initially approve the Code for the Trusts and the Advisor, and the Boards of Trustees must approve any material changes to the Code within six (6) months of such change. The compliance officer shall (1) promptly notify the Boards of any material violation of the Code; (2) provide to the Boards a written report summarizing any and all material issues that arose during the previous year, and (3) annually certify that the Advisor has adopted procedures in compliance with the Code and Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act.
Records
The Trusts and the Advisor shall maintain records for a period of not less than five years from the end of the fiscal year in which the record was created, unless noted otherwise, as follows:
1. | A copy of the applicable Code and any amendments thereto shall be retained on the F drive. (including for five (5) years after the Code or the amendment, as applicable, is no longer in effect). |
2. | A record of any violation of the Code and of any action taken as a result of such violation shall be retained on the F drive, if any. |
3. | A record of all written acknowledgements from all Access Persons, as required by this Code, shall be retained on the F drive. |
4. | A copy of each report, including any information provided in lieu of the report, made by an Access Person pursuant to the Code shall be retained in the CCO’s office. |
5. | A list of all Access Persons who are, or within the past five (5) years have been, required to make reports pursuant to the Code and all persons who are, or within the past five (5) years have been, responsible for reviewing the reports shall be retained on the F drive. |
6. | A copy of each report of the Trusts or the Advisor detailing any violations of its code of ethics, or certifying that it has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating such code of ethics shall be part of the CCO Report maintained in the board materials which are retained on the F drive. |
7. | A copy of any decisions, and reasons supporting the decisions, to approve the purchase of private placement securities or public offerings by investment personnel shall be retained on the F drive (from the end of the fiscal year in which the approval is granted, if any). |
Sanctions
If a material violation of this Code occurs or a preliminary determination is made that a violation may have occurred, a report of the alleged violation shall be made to the Boards of Trustees in accordance with the process outlined under “Review” above. The Boards of Trustees or the Advisor may impose such sanctions as they or it deem(s) appropriate, including, a letter of censure, suspension, or termination of the employment of the violator, and/or a disgorging of any profits made by the violator.
