Letter to Shareholders
December 31, 2023
While 2023 will go down as a very positive year for the stock market, careful readers of history will take note of how narrow the participation in its rally was. The group known as the Magnificent 7, which includes Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla, combined to produce a return of +107% in 2023. This performance was primarily because these companies are leading their respective peers in innovation by heavily incorporating artificial intelligence into their products and business models. This adoption drove the difference between the market-cap-weighted S&P 500 Index and the Equally Weighted S&P 500 Index returns of 26.3% and 13.8%, respectively.
The last two months of the year also carried most of the load for last year’s performance. Market breadth improved near the end of October when Inflation data was less than market expectations. Investor confidence increased that the Fed would no longer tighten monetary policy, and interest rates fell at a historic rate. The 10-year Treasury yield declined from roughly 5% to 3.8% in just two months! For perspective, this move in yields was more substantial than 98% of all 2-month moves going back to 1962. These events propelled robust growth for stock and bond returns in the fourth quarter to boost 2023 total returns.
The Federal Reserve Remains at Center Stage
The Fed remained at the center of investment discussions during the year as the committee continued its quest to contain the highest inflation the U.S. has experienced since the early 1980s. The Fed raised interest rates four times in 2023 and increased the federal funds rate to a range of 5.25%-5.50%, its highest level in 22 years. The Fed raised the cost of capital to reduce inflation, which is intended to dampen the robust economic growth the U.S. is experiencing. It is a delicate balance, as the Fed aims to slow growth while avoiding pushing the economy into a recession by lowering rates before economic growth stops, creating a soft landing.
The “elephant in the room” is that the Fed has only accomplished a soft landing twice in nine rising-rate cycles since 1970. At the December FOMC meeting, Powell admitted that the Fed does not have a good track record in orchestrating soft economic landings. Investors are concerned that this could occur again and continue to watch the U.S. employment situation closely as a leading indicator. Thankfully, the December jobs report showed that the Fed is one step closer to achieving its soft landing as unemployment remained relatively stagnant at 3.7%, and job openings continue to decline. As economic activity continues to slow, employers in the U.S. are choosing not to fill open positions rather than eliminating existing ones and is a trend the Fed wants to continue.
A New Year
Regardless of the geopolitical or market-driven events in 2024, know that we remain steadfast in our commitment to improving investor outcomes. We will continue to follow our data-driven quantitative investment models to provide clarity by removing emotion from the decision-making process when making investment decisions. On behalf of all of us at Meeder Investment Management, thank you for giving us the privilege of helping to achieve your financial goals.
Sincerely,
Robert S. Meeder

2023 Annual Report
Fund Summaries
Muirfield Fund
The Meeder Muirfield Fund Institutional Class returned 13.70% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index benchmark return of 13.22%.
This fund uses Meeder’s Defensive Equity strategy, which follows a rules-based and data-driven approach to using the Meeder Investment Positioning (IPS) model. This model is used to determine the reward relative to the risk of the stock market and identifies when a respective fund should be increasing or decreasing its equity allocation.
Muirfield achieved positive performance relative to its benchmark in 2023, primarily driven by the Defensive Equity Strategy and its overweight to equities and underweight to cash and fixed income throughout the year. The Defensive Equity Strategy entered the year with a significant defensive position of 50% cash and a 50% allocation to equities. The Fund remained defensive for the entire year but greatly increased its equity allocation as Meeder’s quantitative models improved. By mid-year, the strategy had a 91% equity allocation and by the end of the year it finished with a 95% allocation to equities. This overweight to equities, especially during an incredibly strong fourth quarter for the equity market, bolstered the Fund’s relative performance.
Our global equity allocation was a positive contributor to performance this year. The fund allocates to different regions of the global equity markets, including U.S., Developed International ex-US., and Emerging Markets. Within Conservative Allocation’s equity holdings, it maintained an overweight to U.S. and underweight to both Developed International ex-U.S. and Emerging Markets equities relative to its benchmark. Given the outperformance of U.S. equities in 2023 compared to their international counterparts, the fund’s global equity allocation positively contributed to performance.
The performance of our stock selection strategy was negative in 2023. Within the U.S. portion of Muirfield’s equity holdings, we use a proprietary equity selection model that selects stocks based on value, momentum, quality, stability, and sentiment factors. In general, we favor companies that display positive momentum relative to their peers, strong balance sheets, consistent earnings growth, along with attractive valuations and positive near-term sentiment. Our overweight to large-cap stocks, along with our overweight to company’s displaying strong profitability, positively contributed to performance. Our overweight to value stocks and underweight to stocks displaying low beta detracted from performance. From a sector perspective, the underweight to the Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Real Estate sectors positively contributed to performance throughout the year, while the overweight to Energy and underweight to Communication Services detracted from performance.
In the fund, we will often use equity index derivatives, such as stock index futures, to efficiently equitize our cash positions and manage the portfolio's equity exposure. Regarding equitizing cash positions, these derivatives are designed to track their respective stock index, so there was no discernible impact on the fund’s relative performance. The use of equity index futures to reduce equity exposure in the fund’s Defensive Equity exposure was additive to performance relative to the benchmark in 2023.
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation.

as of December 31,2023
The Growth of $10,000 chart compares the performance of the Fund’s Retail Share Class over the period shown with dividends and capital gains reinvested to the Fund’s benchmark. Benchmark indices are unmanaged and do not reflect the deduction of expenses associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and accounting fees.
Investment performance assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Historical performance attributed to the Institutional and Adviser Share Classes prior to their inception dates is based on the performance of the Retail Share Class. No adjustment has been made to reflect class-specific distribution or servicing fees. Returns may reflect the effect of voluntary fee waivers or expense reimbursements over the period shown. Without these waivers, performance would have been lower.
The performance data shown represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For current month-end performance data, please visit our website at www.meederfunds.com.

Spectrum Fund
The Meeder Spectrum Fund Institutional Class returned 14.06% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index benchmark return of 13.22%.

Global Allocation Fund
The Meeder Global Allocation Fund Institutional Class returned 15.87% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the Morningstar Global Allocation Index benchmark return of 15.46%.
A portion (90%) of the Fund uses our Defensive Equity strategy, which follows a rules-based and data-driven approach to using the Meeder Investment Positioning (IPS) model. This model is used to determine the reward relative to the risk of the stock market and identifies when a respective fund should be increasing or decreasing its equity allocation. The remaining portion (10%) of the fund is allocated to fixed income securities.
The Meeder Global Allocation Fund achieved positive performance relative to its benchmark in 2023, partially driven by the Defensive Equity Strategy and its overweight to equities and underweight to cash and fixed income throughout the year. The Defensive Equity Strategy entered the year with a significant defensive position of 50% cash and a 50% allocation to equities. The Fund remained defensive for the entire year but greatly increased its equity allocation as Meeder’s quantitative models improved. By mid-year, the strategy had a 91% equity allocation and by the end of the year it finished with a 95% allocation to equities. This overweight to equities, especially during an incredibly strong fourth quarter for the equity market, bolstered the Fund’s relative performance.
Our global equity allocation was a positive contributor to performance this year. The fund allocates to different regions of the global equity markets, including U.S., Developed International ex-US., and Emerging Markets. Within Global Allocation’s equity holdings, it maintained an overweight to U.S. and underweight to both Developed International ex-U.S. and Emerging Markets equities relative to its benchmark. Given the outperformance of U.S. equities in 2023 compared to their international counterparts, the fund’s global equity allocation positively contributed to performance.
The performance of our stock selection strategy was negative in 2023. Within the U.S. portion of Global Allocation’s equity holdings, we use a proprietary equity selection model that selects stocks based on value, momentum, quality, stability, and sentiment factors. In general, we favor companies that display positive momentum relative to their peers, strong balance sheets, consistent earnings growth, along with attractive valuations and positive near-term sentiment. Our overweight to large-cap stocks, along with our overweight to company’s displaying strong profitability, positively contributed to performance.
Our overweight to value stocks and underweight to stocks displaying low beta detracted from performance. From a sector perspective, the underweight to the Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Real Estate sectors positively contributed to performance throughout the year, while the overweight to Energy and underweight to Communication Services detracted from performance.
The Global Allocation Fund’s fixed income allocation outperformed the fixed income portion of the benchmark. The fund’s allocation to fixed income tactically shifts portfolio exposure utilizing quantitative models designed to actively manage credit quality, emerging market bond exposure, and duration of its holdings.
In 2023, the Federal Reserve continued to increase the Fed Funds target rate during the first half of the year and held the rate between 5.25-5.50% at the end of the year. The sharp rise in interest rates during the first half of 2023 led to negative returns in longer duration bonds through October but a historic decline in interest rates during the last two months of the year led to overall positive returns for the asset class. In November, yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury declined rapidly from near 5.0% to 3.88% at the end of the year, as expectations for further Fed rate hikes disappeared from the marketplace and investors began pricing in Fed rate cuts in 2024. Disinflationary economic data was the key driver leading the bond market rally during the quarter. The Global Allocation Fund’s fixed-income strategy's duration remained shorter than its benchmark for most of 2023 but lengthened it to above 5 years in mid-November to take advantage of declining bond market yields in November and December.
High yield spreads also narrowed last year, which lead to strong relative performance by this segment of fixed income, outperforming both US investment grade and emerging markets bonds. On a relative basis, exposure to U.S. high yield and emerging market bonds in 2023 positively contributed to the strategy’s performance.
In the fund, we will often use equity index derivatives, such as stock index futures, to efficiently equitize our cash positions and manage the portfolio's equity exposure. Regarding equitizing cash positions, these derivatives are designed to track their respective stock index, so there was no discernible impact on the fund’s relative performance. The use of equity index futures to reduce equity exposure in the fund’s Defensive Equity exposure was additive to performance relative to the benchmark in 2023.

Balanced Fund
The Meeder Balanced Fund Institutional Class returned 12.53% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the Morningstar Moderate Target Risk Index benchmark return of 13.22%.
A portion (70%) of the fund uses our Defensive Equity strategy, which follows a rules-based and data-driven approach to using the Meeder Investment Positioning (IPS) model. This model is used to determine the reward relative to the risk of the stock market and identifies when a respective fund should be increasing or decreasing its equity allocation. The remaining portion (30%) of the fund is allocated to fixed income securities.
The Balanced Fund slightly underperformed its benchmark in 2023, driven partially by the Defensive Equity Strategy and its underweight to equities and overweight to cash during the early part of the year. The Defensive Equity Strategy entered the year with a significant defensive position of 50% cash and a 50% allocation to equities. The Fund remained defensive for the entire year but greatly increased its equity allocation as Meeder’s quantitative models improved. By mid-year, the strategy had a 91% equity allocation and by the end of the year it finished with a 95% allocation to equities.
Our global equity allocation was a positive contributor to performance this year. The fund allocates to different regions of the global equity markets, including U.S., Developed International ex-US., and Emerging Markets. Within the Balanced Fund’s equity holdings, it maintained an overweight to U.S. and underweight to both Developed International ex-U.S. and Emerging Markets equities relative to its benchmark. Given the outperformance of U.S. equities in 2023 compared to their international counterparts, the fund’s global equity allocation positively contributed to performance.
The performance of our stock selection strategy was negative in 2023. Within the U.S. portion of the Balanced Fund’s equity holdings, we use a proprietary equity selection model that selects stocks based on value, momentum, quality, stability, and sentiment factors. In general, we favor companies that display positive momentum relative to their peers, strong balance sheets, consistent earnings growth, along with attractive valuations and positive near-term sentiment. Our overweight to large-cap stocks, along with our overweight to company’s displaying strong profitability, positively contributed to performance. Our overweight to value stocks and underweight to stocks displaying low beta detracted from performance. From a sector perspective, the underweight to the Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Real Estate sectors positively contributed to performance throughout the year, while the overweight to Energy and underweight to Communication Services detracted from performance.

In 2023, the Federal Reserve continued to increase the Fed Funds target rate during the first half of the year and held the rate between 5.25-5.50% at the end of the year. The sharp rise in interest rates during the first half of 2023 led to negative returns in longer duration bonds through October but a historic decline in interest rates during the last two months of the year led to overall positive returns for the asset class. In November, yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury declined rapidly from near 5.0% to 3.88% at the end of the year, as expectations for further Fed rate hikes disappeared from the marketplace and investors began pricing in Fed rate cuts in 2024. Disinflationary economic data was the key driver leading the bond market rally during the quarter. The Balanced fixed-income strategy's duration remained shorter than its benchmark for most of 2023 but lengthened it to above 5 years in mid-November to take advantage of declining bond market yields in November and December.
High yield spreads also narrowed last year, which lead to strong relative performance by this segment of fixed income, outperforming both US investment grade and emerging markets bonds. On a relative basis, exposure to U.S. high yield and emerging market bonds in 2023 positively contributed to the strategy’s performance.

Moderate Allocation Fund
The Meeder Moderate Allocation Fund Institutional Class returned 11.36% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the Morningstar Moderately Conservative Target Risk Index benchmark return of 10.89%.
A portion (50%) of the fund uses our Defensive Equity strategy, which follows a rules-based and data-driven approach to using the Meeder Investment Positioning (IPS) model. This model is used to determine the reward relative to the risk of the stock market and identifies when a respective fund should be increasing or decreasing its equity allocation. The remaining portion (50%) of the fund is allocated to fixed income securities.
The Meeder Moderate Allocation Fund achieved positive performance relative to its benchmark in 2023, partially driven by the Defensive Equity Strategy and its overweight to equities and underweight to cash and fixed income throughout the year. The Defensive Equity Strategy entered the year with a significant defensive position of 50% cash and a 50% allocation to equities. The Fund remained defensive for the entire year but greatly increased its equity allocation as Meeder’s quantitative models improved. By mid-year, the strategy had a 91% equity allocation and by the end of the year it finished with a 95% allocation to equities.
Our global equity allocation was a positive contributor to performance this year. The fund allocates to different regions of the global equity markets, including U.S., Developed International ex-US., and Emerging Markets. Within Moderate Allocation’s equity holdings, it maintained an overweight to U.S. and underweight to both Developed International ex-U.S. and Emerging Markets equities relative to its benchmark. Given the outperformance of U.S. equities in 2023 compared to their international counterparts, the fund’s global equity allocation positively contributed to performance.
The performance of our stock selection strategy was negative in 2023. Within the U.S. portion of Moderate Allocation’s equity holdings, we use a proprietary equity selection model that selects stocks based on value, momentum, quality, stability, and sentiment factors. In general, we favor companies that display positive momentum relative to their peers, strong balance sheets, consistent earnings growth, along with attractive valuations and positive near-term sentiment. Our overweight to large-cap stocks, along with our overweight to company’s displaying strong profitability, positively contributed to performance.
Our overweight to value stocks and underweight to stocks displaying low beta detracted from performance. From a sector perspective, the underweight to the Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Real Estate sectors positively contributed to performance throughout the year, while the overweight to Energy and underweight to Communication Services detracted from performance.
The Moderate Allocation Fund’s fixed income allocation outperformed the fixed income portion of the benchmark. The fund’s allocation to fixed income tactically shifts portfolio exposure utilizing quantitative models designed to actively manage credit quality, emerging market bond exposure, and duration of its holdings.
In 2023, the Federal Reserve continued to increase the Fed Funds target rate during the first half of the year and held the rate between 5.25-5.50% at the end of the year. The sharp rise in interest rates during the first half of 2023 led to negative returns in longer duration bonds through October but a historic decline in interest rates during the last two months of the year led to overall positive returns for the asset class. In November, yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury declined rapidly from near 5.0% to 3.88% at the end of the year, as expectations for further Fed rate hikes disappeared from the marketplace and investors began pricing in Fed rate cuts in 2024. Disinflationary economic data was the key driver leading the bond market rally during the quarter. The Moderate Allocation fixed-income strategy's duration remained shorter than its benchmark for most of 2023 but lengthened it to above 5 years in mid-November to take advantage of declining bond market yields in November and December.
High yield spreads also narrowed last year, which lead to strong relative performance by this segment of fixed income, outperforming both US investment grade and emerging markets bonds. On a relative basis, exposure to U.S. high yield and emerging market bonds in 2023 positively contributed to the strategy’s performance.
In the fund, we will often use equity index derivatives, such as stock index futures, to efficiently equitize our cash positions and manage the portfolio's equity exposure. Regarding equitizing cash positions, these derivatives are designed to track their respective stock index, so there was no discernible impact on the fund’s relative performance. The use of equity index futures to reduce equity exposure in the fund’s Defensive Equity exposure was additive to performance relative to the benchmark in 2023.
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide total return, including capital appreciation, and current income.

Conservative Allocation Fund
The Meeder Conservative Allocation Fund Institutional Class returned 10.03% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the Morningstar Conservative Target Risk Index benchmark return of 7.74%.
A portion (30%) of the fund uses our Defensive Equity strategy, which follows a rules-based and data-driven approach to using the Meeder Investment Positioning (IPS) model. This model is used to determine the reward relative to the risk of the stock market and identifies when a respective fund should be increasing or decreasing its equity allocation. The remaining portion (70%) of the fund is allocated to fixed income securities.
The Meeder Conservative Allocation Fund achieved positive performance relative to its benchmark in 2023, partially driven by the Defensive Equity Strategy and its overweight to equities and underweight to cash and fixed income throughout the year. The Defensive Equity Strategy entered the year with a significant defensive position of 50% cash and a 50% allocation to equities. The Fund remained defensive for the entire year but greatly increased its equity allocation as Meeder’s quantitative models improved. By mid-year, the strategy had a 91% equity allocation and by the end of the year it finished with a 95% allocation to equities. This overweight to equities, especially during an incredibly strong fourth quarter for the equity market, bolstered the Fund’s relative performance.
Our global equity allocation was a positive contributor to performance this year. The fund allocates to different regions of the global equity markets, including U.S., Developed International ex-US., and Emerging Markets. Within Conservative Allocation’s equity holdings, it maintained an overweight to U.S. and underweight to both Developed International ex-U.S. and Emerging Markets equities relative to its benchmark. Given the outperformance of U.S. equities in 2023 compared to their international counterparts, the fund’s global equity allocation positively contributed to performance.

Dynamic Allocation Fund
The Meeder Dynamic Allocation Fund Institutional Class returned 20.74% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the Morningstar Aggressive Target Index benchmark return of 18.30%.
The Dynamic Allocation Fund maintains a more aggressive objective and remains nearly fully invested (95%) in the stock market. Our global equity allocation was a positive contributor to performance this year. The fund allocates to different regions of the global equity markets, including U.S., Developed International ex-US., and Emerging Markets. Within Dynamic Allocation’s equity holdings, it maintained an overweight to U.S. and underweight to both Developed International ex-U.S. and Emerging Markets equities relative to its benchmark. Given the outperformance of U.S. equities in 2023 compared to their international counterparts, the fund’s global equity allocation positively contributed to performance.

The Dynamic Allocation Fund’s fixed income allocation outperformed the fixed income portion of the benchmark. The fund’s allocation to fixed income tactically shifts portfolio exposure utilizing quantitative models designed to actively manage credit quality, emerging market bond exposure, and duration of its holdings.
A small portion of the fund (5%) is allocated to fixed income. In 2023, the Federal Reserve continued to increase the Fed Funds target rate during the first half of the year and held the rate between 5.25-5.50% at the end of the year. The sharp rise in interest rates during the first half of 2023 led to negative returns in longer duration bonds through October but a historic decline in interest rates during the last two months of the year led to overall positive returns for the asset class.

Quantex Fund
The Meeder Quantex Fund Institutional Class returned 14.40% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the S&P Midcap 400 Index benchmark return of 16.44%.
The fund maintains a more aggressive objective and remains fully invested (100%) in the U.S. stock market, primarily in U.S. midcap stocks. While the fund utilizes a quantitative strategy to identify small-and mid-cap stocks that have significant growth potential, it can also tactically allocate up to 40% of the portfolio to U.S. large-cap equities based on our expectations of market cap segments.
The performance of our stock selection strategy for this fund was negative in 2023, a major drive of the Fund’s underperformance this year. With value stocks underperforming, the fund’s holdings in the Financials and Communications sectors were unprofitable, including positions in Signature Bank of New York and SVB Financial Group. Consumer Discretionary stocks performed well for the Fund in 2023,
led by Royal Caribbean, Carnival Corp., and Pulte Group. The Fund’s tactical allocation to U.S. large-cap equities during the year was very beneficial for performance. This was primarily related to a strong year from U.S. large-cap equities, which outpaced both their U.S. mid- and small-cap peers during the year.
In the fund, we will often use equity index derivatives, such as stock index futures, to efficiently equitize our cash positions and manage the portfolio's equity exposure. Regarding equitizing cash positions, these derivatives are designed to track their respective stock index, so there was no discernible impact on the fund’s relative performance.

Tactical Income Fund
The Meeder Tactical Income Institutional Class returned 7.44% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bill 1-3 Month Index benchmark return of 5.14%.
This fund tactically shifts portfolio exposure utilizing quantitative models designed to actively manage the credit quality, emerging market bond exposure, and duration of U.S. Treasury holdings.
In 2023, the Federal Reserve continued to increase the Fed Funds target rate during the first half of the year and held the rate between 5.25-5.50% at the end of the year. The sharp rise in interest rates during the first half of 2023 led to negative returns in longer duration bonds through October but a historic decline in interest rates during the last two months of the year led to overall positive returns for the asset class. In November, yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury declined rapidly from near 5.0% to 3.88% at the end of the year, as expectations for further Fed rate hikes disappeared from the marketplace and investors began pricing in Fed rate cuts in 2024. Disinflationary economic data was the key driver leading the bond market rally during the quarter. The Tactical fixed-income strategy's duration remained longer than its benchmark for 2023 and lengthened it to above 3 years in early November to take advantage of declining bond market yields in November and December. The overall duration positioning was a positive contributor to its relative performance.
High yield spreads also narrowed last year, which lead to strong relative performance by this segment of fixed income, outperforming both US investment grade and emerging markets bonds. On a relative basis, exposure to U.S. high yield and emerging market bonds in 2023 positively contributed to the strategy’s performance.
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide long-term total return and income.

Institutional Prime Money Market Fund
The Meeder Institutional Prime Money Market Fund (the Fund) reported a 7-day net yield of 5.45% as of December 31, 2023. The total return for the Fund was 5.20% for the full year period.
The Fund offers a floating net asset value (FNAV) A FNAV fund is characterized by a net asset value which could vary incrementally above or below $1.00 per share. The objective of this fund is to maintain a FNAV near $1.00 per share while offering a safe investment vehicle and competitive returns to shareholders. A FNAV was reported at year-end 2023 as $1.0003. The advisor to the Fund accomplished the objective by investing in short-term, high-quality money market debt obligations. Money market debt obligations may be offered by the U.S. Government and its agencies but may also include obligations of fundamentally sound corporate issuers.
Investors have historically demonstrated confidence in the money market fund industry because of two key features. Safety and liquidity are at the core of money fund investment strategy. Safety is expressed through the selection of investments which are anticipated to provide minimal principal volatility. While liquidity is generated by maintaining high quality investments and ample funds to accommodate investor requests to redeem shares. These attributes proved important once again as the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC) interest rate hiking cycle persisted into the first half of 2023. In the first quarter of 2023 the accumulation of restrictive policy actions were too much for some financial institutions to navigate. As a result, the banking industry suffered investment losses which dented depositor confidence. A couple of institutions opted to seek support from the federal government to shore up stability.
To accommodate the markets events of early 2023, the advisor adopted a strategy to maintain investments with shorter average maturities. This was additive to performance and supported the objective of minimizing downward pressure on the FNAV. In the second half of 2023, with renewed market stability and easing inflation pressures, the FOMC chose to withhold from additional interest rate increases. This offered the advisor the ability to add favorable investments with greater yield while not jeopardizing safety or liquidity. The average maturity of the fund was extended from 30 days to nearly 40 days during the second half of 2023. More aggressive strategies were analyzed during this period, however economic data was not sufficiently conclusive to rule out further actions from the FOMC. As a result, the advisor believed a more conservative strategy was required to protect shareholders.
The advisor addressed additional fund safety measures directly through a strategy focused on extending liquidity limits of the portfolio and investing in securities which historically perform favorably in the aforementioned interest rate environment. As a result, the Fund maintained daily liquidity assets of nearly 35% and weekly liquid assets of almost 45%. This exceeded required levels of 10% and 30%, respectively.
As we move forward, our efforts will be focused on supplementary monetary adjustments by the FOMC, and the resulting impact of how these actions may have on the economy. The strategies implemented in 2023, we believe, were prudent and provided shareholders with exceptional safety as interest rates rose to an elevated level. Currently, we believe the Fund should be positioned to maintain stable performance through 2024. In the event our view changes, we will review our strategy relative to market opportunities and act in the best interest of shareholders.
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income consistent with liquidity and the preservation of capital.

Investment performance assumes reinvestment of all dividend and capital gain distributions. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. The Fund’s performance prior to October 7, 2016 reflects the performance of a predecessor fund, the Institutional Class of the Meeder Prime Money Market Fund, which was distributed and transferred to the Institutional Prime Money Market Fund upon its inception. The subsidized 7-day current yield is the current annualized net yield of the Fund. The unsubsidized 7-day current yield does not reflect the effect of any fee waivers or expense reimbursements made by the Fund’s investment adviser. The 7-day current yield more closely reflects the current earnings of the Fund than total return.
You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Because the share price of the Fund will fluctuate, when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. The Fund may impose a fee upon sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the Fund’s liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
Meeder Funds (the Trust) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust offers ten separate series, all of which are included in this report: Muirfield Fund (Muirfield), Spectrum Fund (Spectrum), Global Allocation Fund (Global), Balanced Fund (Balanced), Moderate Allocation Fund (Moderate), Conservative Allocation Fund (Conservative), Dynamic Allocation Fund (Dynamic), Quantex Fund (Quantex), Tactical Income Fund (Income), and Institutional Prime Money Market Fund (Money Market)(the Funds).
Each Fund, except Money Market, offers three classes of shares: Retail Class, Adviser Class, and Institutional Class. Money Market offers only one class of shares. The share classes differ with respect to distribution fees, service fees, and other expenses allocated to each class. Eligibility to purchase Adviser and Institutional Class shares is generally limited to customers of financial intermediaries who enter into special arrangements with the Funds or who meet certain initial investment minimums.
Money Market operates as an institutional money market fund open to all forms of investors. Its net asset value fluctuates based upon changes in the value of its investments and the value of its shares is calculated daily to four decimal places. Money Market has adopted policies and procedures to impose liquidity fees on redemptions or temporary redemption gates in the event that the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below designated thresholds and the Board of Trustees determines that such liquidity fees or redemption gates are in the best interests of the Fund.
For more information regarding the Funds’ objectives, strategies, and differences in share classes, please refer to the Funds’ prospectus.
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The Trust is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services Companies. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Trust and the Funds:
Securities valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note #3.
Repurchase agreements. Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions whereby the Fund takes possession of an underlying debt instrument subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase the instrument from the Fund and an obligation of the Fund to resell the instrument at an agreed upon price and term. At all times, the Fund maintains the fair value of collateral, including accrued interest, of at least 100% of the amount of the repurchase agreement, plus accrued interest. If the seller defaults or the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
Short sales. Spectrum may enter into short sales as part of its overall portfolio management strategy or to offset a potential decline in value of a security. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to various types of securities, including ETFs. A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns, as well as securities that it does not own. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert, or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund’s investment performance may also suffer if the Fund is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. The Fund must segregate assets determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures established by the Board, or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner. The Fund will be required to pledge its liquid assets to the broker in order to secure its performance on short sales. As a result, the assets pledged may not be available to meet the Fund’s needs for immediate cash or other liquidity. In addition, the Fund may be subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the Fund’s open short positions. These types of short sales expenses are sometimes referred to as the “negative cost of carry,” and will tend to cause the Fund to lose money on a short sale even in instances where the price of the underlying security sold short does not change over the duration of the short sale. Dividend expenses on securities sold short and borrowing costs will be borne by the Fund and are reflected in the Statements of Operations.
Futures & options. Each Fund, except Money Market, may engage in transactions in financial futures contracts and options contracts in order to manage the risk of unanticipated changes in market values of securities held in the Fund, or which it intends to purchase. The futures and options contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency, or index, and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the Statements of Operations until the contract settlement date, at which time amounts are reflected as realized gains and losses in the Statements of Operations.
Page 74 | 2023 Annual Report | December 31, 2023 |
To the extent that a Fund enters into futures contracts on an index or group of securities, the Fund exposes itself to an indeterminate liability and will be required to pay or receive a sum of money measured by the change in the fair value of the index. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit an initial margin, which is either cash or securities (disclosed as pledged as collateral on the Schedules of Investments) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequently, margin movements, which are equal to changes in the daily price or last sale price on the exchanges where futures contracts trade, are recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contract is closed. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contract and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged assets. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default. Except for Money Market, it is normal practice for each Fund to invest in futures contracts on a daily basis. The Funds, except for Income and Money Market, typically utilize equity index futures contracts to equitize cash positions or adjust targeted stock market exposure. Except for Money Market, the fixed income portion of any Fund can utilize Treasury futures contracts in order to adjust duration.
Call and put option contracts involve the payment of a premium for the right to purchase or sell an individual security or index aggregate at a specified price until the expiration of the contract. Such transactions expose the Fund to the loss of the premium paid if the Fund does not sell or exercise the contract prior to the expiration date. In the case of a call option, sufficient cash or money market instruments will be segregated to complete the purchase. Options are fair valued on the basis of the daily settlement price or last sale on the exchanges where they trade and the changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until closed, exercised or expired. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no call or put options transacted for any of the Funds.
The Funds may write covered call or put options for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. When written options are closed or exercised, premiums received are offset against the proceeds paid, and the Fund records realized gains or losses for the difference. When written options expire, the liability is eliminated, and the Fund records realized gains for the entire amount of premiums received. Although permitted, it is currently not normal practice for the Funds to write call and put options and none were written during the year ended December 31, 2023.
The fair value of derivative instruments, not accounted for as hedging instruments, as reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2023 was as follows:

Federal income taxes. It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Funds recognize the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2020 through December 31, 2023) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements. Each Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and certain State tax authorities; however the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any material interest or penalties.
Distributions to shareholders. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Muirfield, Spectrum, Global, Balanced, Moderate, Conservative, Dynamic, and Quantex declare and pay dividends from net investment income, if any, on a quarterly basis. Income declares and pays dividends from net investment income on a monthly basis. Money Market declares dividends from net investment income on a daily basis and pays such dividends on a monthly basis. Each Fund distributes net capital gains, if any, on an annual basis.
Page 76 | 2023 Annual Report | December 31, 2023 |
Distributions from net investment income and from net capital gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Permanent differences relate to redemptions treated as distributions for tax purposes (i.e. equalization). Accordingly, timing differences relating to shareholder distributions are reflected in the components of net assets and permanent book and tax differences have been reclassified within the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Funds made the following reclassifications to increase/(decrease) the components of net assets:
| | Capital | | | Distributable Earnings (Accumulated Deficit) | |
Muirfield | | $ | 4,122,212 | | | $ | (4,122,212 | ) |
Spectrum | | | 1,677,928 | | | | (1,677,928 | ) |
Global | | | 142,916 | | | | (142,916 | ) |
Balanced | | | 499,064 | | | | (499,064 | ) |
Dynamic | | | 983,313 | | | | (983,313 | ) |
Quantex | | | 219,006 | | | | (219,006 | ) |
Investment income & expenses allocation. For all Funds, except Money Market, income and expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds based on each Fund’s relative net assets or other appropriate basis.
Capital Share Transactions. All Funds are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Transactions in the capital shares of the Funds for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:
| | Issued | | | Reinvested | |

Offsetting Assets & Liabilities. The Funds are party to enforceable master netting arrangements between counter parties, such as the securities lending agreement, which provides for the right of offset under certain circumstances, such as the event of default. The securities lending transactions have an overnight and continuous contractual maturity. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The table below reflects the offsetting assets and liabilities relating to securities lending, futures contracts, and repurchase agreements shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at December 31, 2023.

Other. The Funds record security transactions on the trade date. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled 15 days or more after the trade date. Gains and losses realized from the sale of securities are determined on the specific identification basis. Dividend income and dividend expenses are recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recognized as earned. Short-term capital gain distributions from underlying funds are classified as dividend income for financial reporting purposes. Long-term capital gains distributions are separately stated. Discounts and premiums are amortized using the effective yield over the lives of the respective securities. Distributions received from partnerships are recorded as return of capital distributions. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
A Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. A Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Certain Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed-delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery transactions are outstanding, a Fund will designate or receive as collateral liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price or respective obligations. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, a Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its NAV. A Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a Fund has sold a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or return of capital. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Funds must use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions for financial statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to the Funds’ shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by the Funds’ shareholders may represent a return of capital.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
Page 80 | 2023 Annual Report | December 31, 2023 |
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.
Equity securities (including publicly traded partnerships, real estate investment trusts, American depositary receipts, exchange traded funds, and common stock). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the daily redemption net asset value as reported by the underlying fund and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short-term notes (including bank obligations, commercial paper, corporate obligations, repurchase agreements, U.S. government agency obligations, and floating rate demand notes). Short-term notes held in the Funds maturing more than sixty days after the valuation date, are valued at the last sales price as of the close of business on the day of valuation, or, lacking any sales, at the most recent bid price or yield equivalent as obtained from dealers that make markets in such securities. When valued at the last sales price, the securities will be categorized as level 1. When using bid prices or yield equivalents, they will be categorized as level 2. When such securities are valued within sixty days or less to maturity, the difference between the valuation existing on the sixty-first day before maturity and maturity value is amortized on a straight-line basis to maturity, which approximates fair value, and will be categorized as level 2.
Certificates of deposit. Except for Money Market, certificates of deposit are valued at acquisition cost, which approximates fair value, and will be categorized as level 2. For Money Market, certificates of deposit are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data, and will be categorized as level 2.
U.S. government obligations. U.S. government obligations are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. In either case, these securities will be categorized as level 2.
Restricted securities (equity and debt). Restricted securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Trustees. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative instruments (futures contracts). Listed derivative instruments that are actively traded, including futures contracts, are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
In the event market quotations or evaluated prices obtained from a pricing service are not readily available when the NAV is calculated, the Funds will utilize the fair value of the investment. This may occur in the event the Funds cannot obtain current market quotations for a security, cannot obtain current evaluated prices from a pricing service, or the price furnished is not deemed reliable and representative of the fair value of the security. In these cases, the Valuation & Pricing Committee, established and designated by the Board of Trustees as its valuation designee pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, determines the fair value of the security in accordance with procedures adopted by the Adviser. Depending on the method used to determine fair value, valuations for these securities may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 as appropriate in the fair value hierarchy.
The Valuation & Pricing Committee is responsible for determining the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation & Pricing Committee is also authorized to select and retain pricing services to provide fair value evaluations of the current value of certain investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation & Pricing Committee supervises various methods used to review market quotations and evaluated prices for reliability, including the resolution of price challenges by the Adviser to evaluated prices for a given security. In the event market quotations or evaluated prices are not readily available for an investment, the Valuation & Pricing Committee will determine the fair value of the investment in accordance with its procedures. Fair valuations are periodically reviewed by the Board of Trustees, which maintains oversight of the Adviser’s fair valuation policy and procedures.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Funds did not hold any assets at any time in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value. Therefore, no reconciliation of level 3 securities is provided. However, the Funds have disclosed holding level 3 securities with fair valuations of zero. The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2023.

Certain Funds have entered into securities lending arrangements with Huntington National Bank (“HNB”). Under the terms of the agreement, HNB is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Funds to approved brokers. In exchange, under normal market conditions, the Funds receive cash collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of securities loaned. The cash collateral is invested in short term instruments as disclosed in the Schedules of Investments. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering their securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. In addition, the Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the investment of cash collateral received. After predetermined rebates to brokers, a percentage of the net securities lending revenue is credited to the Funds to be used as an offset against charges incurred by the Funds. HNB is paid a fee for administering the securities lending program for the Funds, equal to the remaining percentage of the net securities lending revenues generated under the agreement. As of December 31, 2023, no Funds were loaning any securities. Any cash collateral received is invested in securities as listed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. For the year ended December 31, 2023, income earned through securities lending arrangements was as follows:

The Funds have adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) for the independent Trustees.

For federal income tax purposes, the following Funds have capital loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2023, which are not subject to expiration and are available to offset future capital gains, if any. To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the gains that are offset will not be distributed to shareholders:

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2023, beneficial owners that held more than 25% of the voting securities of the Funds and may be deemed to control the Funds are as follows:
Fund | | Beneficial Owner | | Percent of Voting Securities | |
Money Market | | Muirfield | | | 42 | % |
| 8. | Contingencies and Commitments |
The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
On February 1, 2024, the Meeder Funds filed a Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement for the Meeder Funds that will change the name of the Quantex Fund to the Sector Rotation Fund and to change its principal investment strategy from one focused on investments in mid-capitalization companies to one focused on rotation of fund assets between and among investments in securities market sectors considered most promising. The change is expected to become effective on April 1, 2024.

Meeder Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Meeder Funds comprising Muirfield Fund, Spectrum Fund, Global Allocation Fund, Balanced Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund, Conservative Allocation Fund, Dynamic Allocation Fund, Quantex Fund, Tactical Income Fund, and Institutional Prime Money Market Fund (the “Funds”) as of December 31, 2023, 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, the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2023, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the 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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2004.

Shareholder Expense Analysis (unaudited)
Shareholders of mutual funds pay ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, distribution and service fees and other fund operating expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the period of time indicated in the table below.
The Actual Expense example provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (e.g.: an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
The Hypothetical Expense example provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of any Fund. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Board Review and Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
Approval Process. Pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (“Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”), is required to consider, on an annual basis, the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between Meeder Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and Meeder Funds (the “Trust”) on behalf of on behalf of the Muirfield Fund, Balance Fund, Global Allocation Fund, Dynamic Allocation Fund, Spectrum Fund, Moderate Allocation Fund, Conservative Allocation Fund, Quantex Fund and Tactical Allocation Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). It is the duty of the Board to request as much information as is reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement to determine whether the Agreement is fair to each Fund and its shareholders.
The Board considered and approved the Agreement for the Funds at an in-person meeting held on September 12, 2023. Prior to the meeting, the Board requested, and the Adviser provided, both written and oral reports containing information and data related to the following: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds; (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Adviser; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser from the relationship with the Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Fund grows; and (v) whether the fee level reflects these economies of scale to the benefit of the Funds’ shareholders. In reaching the decision to renew the Agreement, the Board also took into account information furnished throughout the year at regular Board meetings. Information furnished and discussed throughout the year included investment performance reports and related financial information for the Funds, as well as periodic reports on shareholder services, legal compliance, pricing, brokerage commissions, execution and other services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates.
Information furnished specifically in connection with the renewal process included a report for the Funds prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Ltd. (“Broadridge”), an independent organization, as well as the Funds’ profitability analysis prepared by the Adviser. The Broadridge report compared each Fund’s advisory fees and expenses with those of other mutual funds deemed comparable to the Fund. The Funds’ profitability analysis discussed the profitability to the Adviser and Mutual Funds Service Co., an affiliate of the Adviser, from the overall Funds’ operations, as well as an analysis based on the profitability resulting from the operation of each individual Fund, utilizing expense allocation methodologies deemed reasonable by the Adviser.
In considering such materials, the Independent Trustees also received assistance and advice from and met separately with the Funds’ independent legal counsel and the Chief Compliance Officer prior to the meeting. In their deliberations, the Board considered the terms of the existing Agreement between the Funds and the Adviser. While attention was given to all of the information furnished, the Board made the following specific findings in connection with its decision to renew the Agreement:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates, including the reputation, qualifications, experience, and capabilities of the personnel performing these services. The Board considered the qualifications of the investment management team and the resources committed to maintaining and improving the Adviser’s quantitative models. The Board noted that the Adviser and its affiliates provide a series of additional administrative services for the Funds, including fund accounting, transfer agency and compliance services, and recognized the continuing expenditures made to support and improve the scope of those services. The Board reviewed pending material litigation (or lack thereof), insurance coverage, and the Adviser’s business continuity and information security practices. Consideration also was given to the Adviser’s compliance resources and policies, including the periodic reporting provided to the Board. In making its judgment, the Board also considered the Adviser’s continual management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal and regulatory risk as it relates to the Funds as well as the manner in which the Adviser addressed new regulatory burdens that became effective during the preceding year. Taking into account the personnel involved in servicing the Funds, as well as the materials provided by the Adviser, the Board expressed satisfaction with the quality, extent, and nature of the services provided by the Adviser.
Investment Performance. The Board reviewed the investment performance of each Fund. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings during the year, particular attention in assessing performance was given to the performance reports prepare by Broadridge that showed the investment performance of each Fund for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended June 30, 2023, in comparison to a securities market benchmark and a performance universe of funds with investment objectives similar to each Fund’s investment objectives (“Performance Peer Group”). The Board evaluated performance in light of the investment strategy pursued by the Adviser, measures of investment risk, and steps taken by the Adviser to mitigate risk through active management of the portfolio. The Board noted that most Fund generally outperformed or performed in line with its benchmark and Performance Peer Group. The Board was satisfied with the Adviser’s explanation that underperformance of certain Funds for certain periods was caused by the Fund’s strategy being out of favor in the current market environment. The Board noted the Adviser’s continued efforts to improve performance and improve the quantitative models. The Board concluded that the Funds’ investment results have been satisfactory for renewal of the Agreement and that the Adviser’s record in managing the Funds indicated that its continued management should benefit the Funds and their shareholders.
Costs of Services. The Board considered the cost of services provided by the Adviser and gave consideration to a comparative analysis of the advisory fees and expense ratios of each Fund compared with those of a group of other relevant funds (“Expense Peer Group”). The Board observed that the Funds’ advisory fees and expenses were within the range of those of the Expense Peer Groups. The Board noted that the Adviser does not mange or sub-advise any other mutual fund, pooled investment vehicle or separately managed accounts with investment strategies comparable to those of the Funds. The Board was satisfied with the Adviser’s continued efforts to reduce fees and expenses. The Board concluded that the Funds’ cost structures were fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided and the performance of the Funds, and that the Funds’ shareholders receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Adviser by the Funds.
2023 Annual Report | December 31, 2023 | Page 95 |
Management Profitability. The Board also considered the level of profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this respect, the Board reviewed the Funds’ profitability analysis that addresses the overall profitability of the Meeder Funds’ business as well as the profitability resulting from the operation of each Fund. The Board also considered management’s expenditures in improving shareholder services provided to the Funds, as well as the need to meet additional regulatory and compliance requirements resulting from recent U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rulemaking. The Board determined that the level of profits realized by the Adviser under its Agreement with the Funds was not excessive in view of the nature, quality and extent of services provided.
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether the Funds realize economies of scale as they grow and the extent to which these economies are reflected in the level of advisory fees charged. While recognizing that any precise determination is inherently subjective, the Board noted that economies of scale may develop for certain Funds as their assets increase, and their Fund level expenses decline as a percentage of assets. The Board also considered whether the advisory fee rate is reasonable in relation to the asset size of each Fund and any economies of scale that may exist. The Board acknowledged that the advisory fee structure for each Fund is reasonable and in most instances is tiered by assets under management, allowing the shareholders to benefit from economies of scale as the Funds grow in size. The Board expressed continued satisfaction with each Fund’s fee structure under its Agreement.
Ancillary Benefits. The Board also considered ancillary benefits received by the Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Trust, including its access to research that benefits other clients and the service of its affiliates as transfer agent, administrator, and distributor for the Funds. Fees for these services were considered separately in the profitability analysis and the Board considered the revenue and expenses incurred by the Adviser and its affiliates in providing these services. The Board also took into consideration additional contractual breakpoints in certain affiliated service agreements. The Board also considered the benefits derived by the Adviser from soft dollar arrangements, noting that these arrangements are subject to regular reporting and oversight. The Board took the ancillary benefits into account in evaluating the reasonableness of the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Adviser by the Funds.
Conclusion. Based upon the foregoing findings as well as all of the information provided by the Adviser, the Board, including all of its Independent Trustees, was satisfied that the terms of the Agreement, including the existing advisory fee structure, are fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Funds and their shareholders. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any particular factor or factors that were all-important or controlling; and each Trustee assigned different weights to various factors considered. The Board, including all of its Independent Trustees, therefore approved the continuation of the Agreement effective for an additional one-year term ending September 30, 2024.
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program (unaudited)
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (“Liquidity Rule”) under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (“Program”). The purpose of the Program is to outline the techniques, tools and arrangements employed for the management of liquidity risk within the Funds, and the terms, contents and frequency of reporting and escalation of any issues to the Board of Trustees. Liquidity is managed taking account of the investment strategy, liquidity profile, and redemption history, with the objective of maintaining a level of liquidity that is appropriate in light of the Funds’ obligations to the Funds’ shareholders. The Program assesses liquidity risk under both normal and stressed market conditions.
The Board of Trustees reviewed the Program during the Funds’ most recent fiscal half-year, including a written report prepared by the Program Administrator. The report reviewed the terms and operation of the Program, investment strategy and liquidity of the Funds, cash flow projections, shareholder concentration and holdings of cash and cash equivalents. The Adviser utilizes quantitative tools that provide daily evaluation of the liquidity of nearly all Funds’ securities. The Program Administrator was satisfied with the design, operation and effectiveness of the Program and reported that there were no liquidity events that materially affected the performance of the Funds or the Funds’ ability to meet their redemption obligations under normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions without dilution to existing shareholders.
The report confirmed that the Funds’ investment strategies utilize highly liquid securities and do not maintain concentrated positions. The Funds also maintain significant holdings of cash and cash equivalents, which were judged suitable to meet redemption needs under ordinary and reasonably stressed market conditions. During the reporting period, the Funds maintained a high level of liquidity and primarily held assets in securities judged highly liquid under the Liquidity Rule. As a result, the Funds see no reason to, and therefore have not adopted a “Highly Liquid Investment Minimum,” as defined under the Liquidity Rule.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Further information on liquidity risks of the Funds can be found in the Funds’ prospectus.
