1.ORGANIZATION
WesMark Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of six portfolios (individually referred to as the “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”), which are presented herein:
Portfolio Name | Diversification | Investment Objective |
WesMark Small Company Growth Fund (“Small Company Growth Fund”) | Diversified | To achieve capital appreciation |
WesMark Growth Fund (“Growth Fund”) | Diversified | To achieve capital appreciation |
WesMark Balanced Fund (“Balanced Fund”) | Diversified | To achieve capital appreciation and income |
WesMark Government Bond Fund (“Government Bond Fund”) | Diversified | To achieve high current income consistent with preservation of capital |
WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (“West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund”) | Non-diversified | To achieve current income which is exempt from federal income tax and income taxes imposed by the State of West Virginia |
WesMark Tactical Opportunity Fund (“Tactical Opportunity Fund”) | Diversified | To achieve capital appreciation |
The assets of each Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.
2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States, which require the use of estimates made by management of the Funds. Actual results could differ from those estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. 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.
Investment Valuation – In calculating their net asset value (NAV), the Funds generally value investments as follows:
| ›› | Equity securities listed on an exchange or traded through a regulated market system are valued at their last reported sale price or official closing price on their principal exchange or market. |
| ›› | Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”). |
| ›› | Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees. They may also be valued at their cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium), which approximates value. |
| ›› | Options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. |
| ›› | Shares of other mutual funds are valued based upon their reported NAVs. |
If the Funds cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Funds may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, the Funds use the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Funds could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate the Funds’ NAVs.

| Notes to Financial Statements |
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited) | |
Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures – The Trustees have authorized the use of pricing services to provide evaluations of the current fair value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions. The Funds normally use mean evaluations (a price evaluation indicative of a price between the bid and asked prices for an investment) for fixed-income securities. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.
The Trustees also have adopted procedures requiring an investment to be priced at its fair value whenever the Adviser determines that a significant event affecting the value of the investment has occurred between the time as of which the price of the investment would otherwise be determined and the time as of which the NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the investment’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Examples of significant events that may occur after the close of the principal market on which a security is traded, or after the time of a price evaluation provided by a pricing service or a dealer, include:
| ›› | With respect to securities traded in foreign markets, significant trends in U.S. equity markets or in the trading of foreign securities index futures or options contracts; |
| ›› | With respect to price evaluations of fixed-income securities determined before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, actions by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee and other significant trends in U.S. fixed-income markets; and |
| ›› | Corporate announcements concerning matters such as acquisitions, recapitalizations, litigation developments, a natural disaster affecting the issuer’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry. |
The Funds may seek to obtain more current quotations or price evaluations from alternative pricing sources. If a reliable alternative pricing source is not available, the Funds will determine the fair value of the investment using another method approved by the Trustees.
A three-tier hierarchy has been established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation approach used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation approach. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
| Level 1 — | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| 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 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. |

Notes to Financial Statements | |
| June 30, 2021 (Unaudited) |
Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions – Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Trust level expenses are allocated to each Fund based on net assets, equally across all Funds, or to a specific Fund, whichever is deemed most appropriate for a particular expense. Each Fund pays its own expenses.
Distributions of net investment income, if any, for the Small Company Growth Fund, Growth Fund, and Tactical Opportunity Fund are declared and paid quarterly. Distributions of net investment income for the Balanced Fund are declared and paid monthly, and distributions of net investment income for the Government Bond Fund and West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains, if any, for Small Company Growth Fund, Growth Fund, Balanced Fund, Government Bond Fund, West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, and Tactical Opportunity Fund are declared and paid annually.
Premium and Discount Amortization/Paydown Gains and Losses – All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted over the estimated lives of such securities for financial statement purposes using the effective interest method. Gains and losses realized on principal payments of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.
Federal Taxes – It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. As of and during the period ended June 30, 2021, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. Tax returns for open years have not incorporated uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes and federal and state taxing authorities.
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by governments of countries in which they invest. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income is earned.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions – The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Restricted Securities – Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Funds will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – The following discloses the Funds’ use of derivative instruments and hedging activities.
The Funds’ exposure to derivative contracts and hybrid instruments, either directly or indirectly through another investment company, may involve risks different from or possibly greater than the risk associated with investing directly in a security instead of the derivative. Risks include: 1) the value of the derivative may not correlate with the value of the underlying security or may correlate inversely; 2) any potential risk reduction may be offset with gain limitations; 3) derivatives may be difficult to price; 4) possible adverse tax consequences; and 5) other risks, such as but not limited to, stock market, interest rate, credit, currency, liquidity, and leverage risks.

Market Risk Factors: In pursuit of their investment objectives, certain Funds may use derivatives that increase or decrease a Fund’s exposure to the following market risk factors:
Equity Risk: Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates will affect the value of a Fund’s investments. In general, as interest rates rise, bond prices fall, and as interest rates fall, bond prices rise. Interest rate risk is generally greater for funds that invest a significant portion of their assets in high yield securities.
Writing Covered Call Options and Purchasing Put Options
The Funds will not write call options on securities unless the securities are held in the Fund’s portfolio or unless the Fund is entitled to them in deliverable forms without further payment or after segregating cash in the amount of any further payment.
The Funds will not purchase put options on securities unless the securities are held in the Fund’s portfolio.
Option contracts (options) - are rights to buy or sell a security for a specified price within a specified period. The seller of the option receives a payment, or premium, from the buyer, which the seller keeps regardless of whether the buyer uses (or exercises) the option. Options can trade on exchanges or in the over the counter (OTC) market and may be bought or sold on a wide variety of securities. There were no options held as of June 30, 2021.
A Fund may buy and/or sell the following types of options:
Call Options – A call option gives the holder (buyer) the right to buy the underlying security from the seller (writer) of the option. A Fund may use call options in the following ways:
| ›› | Buy call options on a security in anticipation of an increase in the value of the security; or |
| ›› | Sell call options on a security to generate income from premiums, and in anticipation of a decrease or only limited increase in the value of the underlying security. If a Fund writes a call option on a security that it owns and that call option is exercised, a Fund must deliver the security to the buyer and foregoes any possible profit from an increase in the market price of the security over the exercise price plus the premium received. |
Put Options – A put option gives the holder the right to sell the security to the writer of the option. A Fund may use put options in the following ways:
| ›› | Buy put options on a security in anticipation of a decrease in the value of the security; or |
| ›› | Write put options on a security to generate income from premiums, and in anticipation of an increase or only limited decrease in the value of the security. In writing puts, there is a risk that a Fund may be required to take delivery of the security when its current market price is lower than the exercise price. |
A Fund may also buy or write options, as needed, to close out existing option positions. Finally, a Fund may enter into combinations of options contracts in an attempt to benefit from changes in the prices of those options contracts (without regard to changes in the value of the security).

Market Risk – The Funds may incur losses due to political, regulatory, market, economic or social developments affecting the market(s) generally. Local, regional or global events such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health crises, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on economic and market conditions.
The public health crisis caused by the novel coronavirus disease known as COVID-19 has become a pandemic that has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant global economic and market volatility. COVID-19 has caused, and may continue to cause, societal disruptions such as quarantines, travel restrictions, workforce displacement and loss of resources. There is significant uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including actions that have been or could be taken by governmental authorities or other third parties. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts yet to unfold, of COVID-19 – and any other infectious illness outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises that may arise in the future – could negatively affect economies and markets in ways that cannot be foreseen.

This expense limitation arrangement may not be terminated by the Adviser prior to such date unless such termination is approved by the Trustees. The Adviser is not entitled to recoup any of the fees or expenses waived or reimbursed within this expense limitation arrangement.
For the period ended June 30, 2021, the Adviser did not waive any fees due to expenses being under the limit.
Administrative Fee – ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) provides the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services. The fees paid to ALPS are based on the daily average aggregate net assets of the Trust for the period, subject to an annual minimum (on the Trust level). The annual minimum fee will be allocated among the Funds using an equal per-Fund allocation. Any remaining amounts of the minimum fee after the per-Fund allocation will be allocated among the Funds based upon the relative net assets of each Fund.
Transfer Agent Fee – ALPS is the Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent for the Funds. ALPS receives an annual base fee per Fund in addition to certain out-of-pocket expenses.
Distribution (12b-1) Fee – ALPS Distributors, Inc. (“ADI”), an affiliate of ALPS, serves as the Funds’ distributor. The Funds currently have no active distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the ACT.

7.CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Since the West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, as of June 30, 2021, 73% of the securities in the portfolio were backed by letters of credit, bond insurance of various financial institutions, or financial guaranty assurance agencies.
Additionally, the Funds may invest a portion of their assets in securities of companies that are deemed by the Funds’ management to be classified in similar business sectors. The economic developments within a particular sector may have an adverse effect on the ability of issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities.
8.COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEES
None of the Trustees are entitled to receive any retirement, pension plan or deferred compensation benefits from the Trust. Interested Trustees receive the same compensation as Independent Trustees. No officers of the Funds are compensated by the Funds, but officers may be reimbursed by the Funds for travel and related expenses incurred in performing their duties.
9.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance providing optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) or other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of December 2021. Management continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections, as applicable, as the expected market transition to alternative reference rates evolves.

The first line of the table below (“Actual Fund Return”) provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred 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 section under the heading “Expense Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line under each fund of the table below (“Hypothetical Fund Return”) provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table below (“Hypothetical Fund Return”) is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Board Review of Advisory Contract | |
| June 30, 2021 (Unaudited) |
As required by the 1940 Act, the Board of Trustees (“Board” or “Trustees”) of the WesMark Funds (“Funds”) has reviewed, at its May 2021 meeting, the Funds’ investment advisory contract with WesBanco Investment Department (“Adviser”). Prior to the May meeting the Board considered the materials to be requested from the Adviser in connection with their consideration of the renewal of the investment advisory agreement. Following a review and approval by the Funds’ Independent Trustees in executive session at the May meeting, the Board reviewed and approved the continuation of the Funds’ investment advisory agreement with the Adviser for the one-year period commencing on May 31, 2021. The Board’s decision to approve the investment advisory agreement reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.
The Board is aware that various courts, including the United States Supreme Court, have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser’s fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the investment performance of a Fund; the Adviser’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a Fund grows larger and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale; any profits or indirect benefits that may accrue to the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser’s relationship with a Fund; performance and expenses of comparable funds; and the extent to which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Adviser’s services and fees. The Funds’ Board is aware of these factors and is guided by them in its review of the Funds’ advisory contract to the extent they are appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.
In connection with its review, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of detailed information about the Funds and the WesBanco organization. The Adviser and other service providers of the Funds provide much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnish additional reports in connection with the particular meeting at which the Board’s formal review of the advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board receives additional information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of an advisory contract is informed by reports covering such matters as: the Adviser’s investment philosophy, personnel, and processes; a Fund’s short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, and when compared to certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other market benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; a Fund’s expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of a Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for any expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading a Fund’s portfolio securities; the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to a Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the primary service providers to the Funds; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Adviser are responding to them. The evaluation process is evolutionary, reflecting continually developing considerations. Changing circumstances drive the criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria.
With respect to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board received and considered information concerning the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds. The Trustees considered the background and experience of the members of the portfolio management teams responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds and considered the functioning of the portfolio management teams for the Funds. The Board discussed the Adviser’s recent review of the Fund’s positioning in the marketplace as well as some potential changes to the investment strategies of certain of the Funds. The Board concluded it was satisfied with the capabilities and commitment of the Adviser to provide high quality service to the Funds.
With respect to a Fund’s performance and expenses in particular, the Board has found the use of comparisons to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be useful, given the high degree of competition within the mutual fund business. While mindful that courts have cautioned against giving such comparisons too much weight, the Board focuses on comparisons with other similar mutual funds (rather than non-mutual fund products or services) because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Funds, and they are readily available as alternative investment vehicles. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Funds compete. A Fund’s ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group may be a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing on the Fund’s investment program, which would in turn assist the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser’s investment management services are such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract. The Funds are the only advisory clients of the Adviser. However, personnel of the Adviser assist in the provision of asset management services for clients of affiliates of the Adviser. The Board is aware of these arrangements and is briefed on any material changes to these arrangements.
For the one-year and three-year periods ended March 31, 2021, the performance of the WesMark Balanced Fund, and the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund were below the average of their respective peer group. The WesMark Government Bond Fund’s performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2021, was above the average of the relevant peer group but for the three-year period ended March 31, 2021, was below the average of the relevant peer group. The performance of the WesMark Small Company Growth Fund, the WesMark Tactical Fund, and the WesMark Growth Fund for the one and three-year periods ended March 31, 2021, was above the average of their respective peer groups.

| Board Review of Advisory Contract |
June 30, 2021 (Unaudited) | |
The Board reviewed the performance of the Funds for the first quarter of 2021 and noted that the WesMark Balanced Fund, the WesMark Government Bond Fund and the WesMark Tactical Fund were above the average of their respective peer group for the quarter, while the WesMark Growth Fund, WesMark Small Company Growth Fund, and the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund were below the average of their respective peer groups for the quarter. The Board also noted that the peer performance comparisons for the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund were of limited value because of the unique nature of the West Virginia municipal bond market and the limited number of municipal bond funds dedicated to West Virginia. Overall the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the Advisor’s performance in managing the Funds. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and performance of the Funds.
The Board requested and reviewed a report prepared by an independent rating organization which compared each of the Fund’s fees, including gross advisory fees, for the calendar year ending December 31, 2020, to a peer group for each WesMark Fund compiled by the independent rating organization. The report indicated that the gross investment advisory fee for the WesMark Growth Fund, the WesMark West Virginia Municipal Bond Fund and the WesMark Government Bond Fund were above the median for their respective peer groups, the gross investment advisory fee for the WesMark Small Company Growth Fund and the WesMark Tactical Opportunity Fund were below the median for their respective peer groups and the WesMark Balanced Fund’s gross investment advisory fee was approximately at the median for the selected peer group. The Board also reviewed the other information provided in the report such as the Funds’ total expense ratios verses those of the selected peer groups. Based on the review of the report, the Board concluded it was satisfied that the advisory fees and overall expense structure of the Funds remained competitive and was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s services. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Funds.
The Board also considered whether “economies of scale” may exist and whether the Funds benefit from any such economies. The Board noted that, each of the Funds is still of relatively small size relative to many of its peers and had not experienced meaningful asset growth over the past year. Under these circumstances, the Board concluded there were no meaningful “economies of scale” enjoyed by the Adviser in managing the Funds. However, the Board noted that shareholders of a Fund may benefit from an increase in size of the Fund due to the fixed expenses of the Fund being spread over a larger asset base potentially resulting in lower expense ratios for the Funds. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser continues to make investments in investment management personnel and investment resources and that the benefits of those investments were likely to be experienced by the Funds as a whole.
The Board also receives financial information about the Adviser, including information on the profitability of the Adviser on a fund- by-fund basis. Although the Board considered the profitability of the Adviser on a fund-by-fund basis, in the Board’s view, the cost of performing advisory services on a fund-specific basis is difficult to estimate satisfactorily as it involves making certain assumptions in the allocation of expenses and is a relatively minor consideration in its overall evaluation. The Board therefore determined that the profitability analysis was of limited value.
The Board considered, in addition to the advisory fees, the compensation and benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. This included fees received for services, such as custody and shareholder servicing, provided to the Funds by other entities in the WesBanco organization and research and trading services received by the Adviser from brokers (or from third parties with which these broker-dealers have arrangements) that execute fund trades (“soft dollar arrangements”). The Trustees considered the benefit to the Adviser and its affiliates from such soft dollar arrangements, including that the services received are of value to the Adviser in advising the Funds and that the Adviser might otherwise be required to separately purchase such services. The Trustees concluded that the “soft dollar” arrangements appeared to benefit the Funds and did not seem unreasonable. The Board also concluded that the amounts received by the Advisor or its affiliates for the provision of custody and shareholder servicing did not appear unreasonable.
In assessing the Adviser’s performance of its obligations, the Board also considers whether a circumstance or event has occurred that would constitute a reason for it to not renew an advisory contract. In this regard, the Board is mindful of the potential disruptions of the Funds’ operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. Thus, the Board’s “selection” or approval of the Adviser must reflect the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Funds. The Board concluded that, in light of the factors discussed above, including the nature, extent, quality and scope of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, continuation of the advisory contract was appropriate.
The Board based its decision to renew the advisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. The Board does not consider any one factor to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board’s decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that the Adviser’s performance and actions provide a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements. Because the totality of circumstances includes considering the relationship of each Fund to the WesMark family of Funds, the Board does not approach consideration of each Fund’s advisory contract as if that were the only fund offered by the Adviser.
