ANNUAL REPORT
for the year ended December 31
Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we intend to no longer mail paper copies of the Fund's shareholder reports, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports from the Fund or from your financial intermediary, such as a broker-dealer or bank. Instead, the reports will be made available on the FPA Funds website (fpa.com/funds), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. If you prefer to receive shareholder reports and other communications electronically, you may update your mailing preferences with your financial intermediary, or enroll in e-delivery at fpa.com (for accounts held directly with the Fund).
You may elect to continue to receive paper copies of all future reports free of charge. If you invest through a financial intermediary, you may contact your financial intermediary to request that you continue to receive paper copies of your shareholder reports. If you invest directly with the Fund, you may inform the Fund that you wish to continue receiving paper copies of your shareholder reports by contacting American Stock Transfer & Trust Company at (800) 279-1241. Your election to receive reports in paper will apply to all funds held with the FPA Funds or through your financial intermediary.

SOURCE CAPITAL, INC. LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
Performance
During the fourth quarter of 2019, the net asset value per share of Source Capital, Inc. (the "Fund," or the "Company") increased 5.91% for the quarter and 20.89% for the calendar year (both percentages including the reinvestment of the distributions paid during the period). These changes compare with returns of 9.07% for the quarter and 31.49% for the calendar year for the S&P 500 Index, 0.18% for the quarter and 8.72% for the calendar year for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and 5.46% for the quarter and 22.18% for the calendar year for the 60/40 blended S&P 500/Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond benchmark during the same period.
Contributors to and detractors from the Fund's trailing 12-month returns are listed in the following table.
Contributors and Detractors 1
| Contributors — Arconic | 2.25 % | 4.1 % | Detractors — Baidu | -0.55 % | 1.3 % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charter Comm. | 1.32 % | 2.4 % | Mylan | -0.48 % | 0.0 % |
| Citigroup | 1.31 % | 2.8 % | PHI (combined) | -0.18 % | 0.4 % |
| AIG | 1.23 % | 4.0 % | Glencore | -0.13 % | 1.2 % |
| Alphabet | 1.21 % | 5.1 % | McDermott (combined) | -0.10 % | 1.3 % |
| 7.32 % | 18.4 % | -1.44 % | 4.2 % |
Equities
We continue to focus on companies that have at least a small breeze at their backs and avoid those businesses with wind in their faces. Over time, we generally expect the companies we own to sell an increasing number of units as well as have at least enough pricing power to offset cost inflation.
The Fund's investment in the cable industry via Charter Communications (up approximately 70%) along with Comcast (up approximately 34%) were two notable contributors in 2019. 2 We made these investments in mid-2018, when many investors were concerned that subscribers would cut the cord in favor of streaming and when wireless 5G threatened to damage these companies' dominant broadband franchise. Our belief remains that while video will continue to shrink, video is less profitable on a cash basis than many believe it to be. Thus, we think broadband should remain vibrant, as it is likely to take many years and many billions of dollars before the potential impact of the competitive threats is known. The market has sidled over to our thinking on this, at least for the time being.
American International Group's (AIG) stock lost 32% in 2018, including dividends, negatively impacting the Fund's performance in that year. In 2019, however, it delivered a total return of 34%. 2 The company's multi-year turnaround efforts are finally bearing fruit, and the market has begun to take notice. The Fund further benefited by increasing its stake to take advantage of price weakness in late 2018. If AIG's return on capital continues to improve, as we expect, the company should trade at a similar price-to-tangible book value multiple as its peers. Were that to be the case, we can see its stock trading at $70 to $80 in the next couple of years, a healthy premium to its closing price of $51.33 at the end of 2019. As value investors, AIG is emblematic of so many of our investments that underperform on their way to outperforming.
1 Reflects the top five contributors and detractors to the Fund's performance based on contribution to return for the trailing twelve months ("TTM"). Contribution is presented gross of investment management fees, transactions costs, and Fund operating expenses, which if included, would reduce the returns presented. The information provided does not reflect all positions purchased, sold or recommended by FPA during the quarter. A copy of the methodology used and a list of every holding's contribution to the overall Fund's performance during the TTM is available by contacting FPA Client Service at [email protected]. It should not be assumed that recommendations made in the future will be profitable or will equal the performance of the securities listed.
2 Percentage change reflects total return including the reinvestment of dividends and interest. The total return of the security may not equate with the performance of the holding in the Fund.
Past performance is no guarantee, nor is it indicative, of future results. Comparison to any index is for illustrative purposes only. The Fund does not include outperformance of any index or benchmark in its investment objectives. Please see end of Commentary for important disclosures and definitions.

The Fund's two largest detractors for 2019 were Baidu (BIDU) and Mylan (MYL). BIDU has lost market share in the Chinese online advertising market, with particular weakness seen in key verticals including healthcare and online gaming. Lower than expected revenue, combined with increased investments in ventures that are expected to produce profits only over the long term, has resulted in a demonstrable decline in profitability and led to a severe sell-off of the shares, resulting in what we believe to be is a very inexpensive valuation applied to its core search business.
MYL continues to face multiple headwinds including a challenging regulatory environment, pricing pressure on generic drugs in the U.S., and slower than expected regulatory approval of new products. We used the recent merger announcement between Mylan and the Upjohn division of Pfizer as an opportunity to trim into strength.
Fixed Income
In 2019 (and also in the past quarter), bonds of all sorts became more expensive. Chart 1 shows that yields on high-quality 2- to 4-year maturity bonds declined by 90 to 100 basis points (bps) during the year. 3 Chart 2 shows that yields on high-yield bonds declined by over 275 basis points, ending the year at a not-so-high-yield of 5.2%! In the leveraged loan market, spreads compressed by nearly 80 basis points at one point before finishing the year approximately 30 basis points lower than where it started at the beginning of the year. What is an absolute value investor to do in a market like this? We wait and preserve capital for better investment opportunities.
3 FPA defines 'high quality bonds' as those rated single-A or higher.

Despite expensive credit markets, we periodically find investments that satisfy our absolute return criteria, though these investments are few and far between. These days, those investments are often tied to industries or businesses that are experiencing some degree of stress, either secular and/or business-specific. One example is the Fund's investment in the first-in, last-out ("FILO") term loan of Sears, formerly one of the largest retailers in the United States. This loan is secured by the working capital (accounts receivable and inventory) of Sears. The success of this investment is not predicated on the survival of Sears. Rather, we think that the liquidation value of the working capital is sufficient to cover the balance of the FILO loan. This is not a new position, but we did increase the Fund's holdings during the fourth quarter. Another example is a new term loan we added during the fourth quarter to the Fund's existing investments in PHI, Inc., an energy and health care-related helicopter transportation services company. This new term loan is

SOURCE CAPITAL, INC.
secured by a first lien on the Company's assets, including its fleet of owned helicopters. Based on the liquidation value of the Company's assets, the loan has a loan-to-value of less than 30%.
We have recently been increasing the Fund's exposure to private credit, both individual loans and co-mingled vehicles, and continue to see opportunity. These higher-yielding investments fit nicely in Source's closed-end fund structure. We will have a more robust discussion of these opportunities in future commentaries.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
Respectfully submitted,
Source Capital Portfolio Management Team

Important Disclosures
This Commentary is for informational and discussion purposes only and does not constitute, and should not be construed as, an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale with respect to any securities, products or services discussed, and neither does it provide investment advice. This Commentary does not constitute an investment management agreement or offering circular.
On December 1, 2015, a new portfolio management team assumed management of the Fund and the Fund transitioned to a balanced strategy. Performance prior to December 1, 2015 reflects the performance of the prior portfolio manager and investment strategy and is not indicative of performance for any subsequent periods.
Current performance information is updated monthly and is available by calling 1-800-982-4372 or by visiting www.fpa.com. Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may vary from the performance quoted. The returns shown for Source Capital are calculated at net asset value per share, including reinvestment of all distributions. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions, which would lower these figures. Since Source Capital is a closed-end investment company and its shares are bought and sold on the New York Stock Exchange, your performance may also vary based upon the market price of the common stock.
The Fund is managed according to its investment strategy which may differ significantly in terms of security holdings, industry weightings, and asset allocation from those of the indices noted. Overall Fund performance, characteristics and volatility may differ from the benchmark(s) shown.
There is no guarantee the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. You should consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before you invest. You can obtain additional information by visiting the website at www.fpa.com, by email at [email protected], toll free by calling 1-800-279-1241 (option 1), or by contacting the Fund in writing
The views expressed herein and any forward-looking statements are as of the date of this publication and are those of the portfolio management team. Future events or results may vary significantly from those expressed and are subject to change at any time in response to changing circumstances and industry developments. This information and data has been prepared from sources believed reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of the information cannot be guaranteed and is not a complete summary or statement of all available data.
Portfolio composition will change due to ongoing management of the Fund. References to individual securities are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as recommendations by the Fund, FPA, or the portfolio managers. It should not be assumed that future investments will be profitable or will equal the performance of the security examples discussed. Please visit our website, https://fpa.com/funds/portfolio-characteristics/source-capital, for a complete list of portfolio holdings.
Investing in closed-end funds involves risk, including loss of principal. Closed-end fund shares may frequently trade at a discount or premium to their net asset value. Capital markets are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. It is important to remember that there are risks inherent in any investment and there is no assurance that any investment or asset class will provide positive performance over time.
The Fund may purchase foreign securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and other depository receipts, which are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic and political risks; these risks may be heightened when investing in emerging markets. Non-U.S. investing presents additional risks, such as the potential for adverse political, currency, economic, social or regulatory developments in a country, including lack of liquidity, excessive taxation, and differing legal and accounting standards. Non-U.S. securities, including American Depository Receipts (ADRs) and other depository receipts, are also subject to interest rate and currency exchange rate risks.
The return of principal in a fund that invests in fixed income securities is not guaranteed. The Fund's investments in fixed income securities have the same issuer, interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with underlying bonds owned by the Fund. Lower rated bonds, convertible securities and other types of debt obligations involve greater risks than higher rated bonds.
When interest rates go up, the value of fixed income securities, such as bonds, typically go down and investors may lose principal value. Credit risk is the risk of loss of principle due to the issuer's failure to repay a loan. Generally, the lower the quality rating of a security, the greater the risk that the issuer will fail to pay interest fully and return principal in a timely manner. If an issuer defaults, the security may lose some or all its value.
Mortgage securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are subject to prepayment risk and the risk of default on the underlying mortgages or other assets; such derivatives may increase volatility. Convertible securities are generally not investment grade and are subject to greater credit risk than higher-rated investments. High yield securities can be volatile and subject to much higher instances of default. The Fund may experience increased costs, losses and delays in liquidating underlying securities should the seller of a repurchase agreement declare bankruptcy or default.

The ratings agencies that provide ratings are Standard and Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch. Credit ratings range from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Bonds rated BBB or above are considered investment grade. Credit ratings of BB and below are lower-rated securities (junk bonds). High-yielding, non-investment grade bonds (junk bonds) involve higher risks than investment grade bonds. Bonds with credit ratings of CCC or below have high default risk.
Value style investing presents the risk that the holdings or securities may never reach their full market value because the market fails to recognize what the portfolio management team considers the true business value or because the portfolio management team has misjudged those values. In addition, value style investing may fall out of favor and underperform growth or other styles of investing during given periods.
Index Definitions
Comparison to any index is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as a fully accurate measure of comparison.

Indices are unmanaged and do not reflect any commissions or fees which would be incurred by an investor purchasing the underlying securities. An investor cannot invest directly in an index. The Fund does not include outperformance of any index or benchmark in its investment objectives.
S&P 500 Index includes a representative sample of 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy. The index focuses on the large-cap segment of the market, with over 80% coverage of U.S. equities, but is also considered a proxy for the total market.
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index provides a measure of the performance of the U.S. investment grade bonds market, which includes investment grade U.S. Government bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities that are publicly offered for sale in the United States. The securities in the Index must have at least 1-year remaining in maturity. In addition, the securities must be denominated in U.S. dollars and must be fixed rate, nonconvertible, and taxable.
60% S&P 500/40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices comprised of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, representing the Fund's neutral mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds.

The discussion of Company investments represents the views of the Company's managers at the time of this report and are subject to change without notice. References to individual securities are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as recommendations to purchase or sell individual securities. While the Company's managers believe that the Company's holdings are value stocks, there can be no assurance that others will consider them as such. Further, investing in value stocks presents the risk that value stocks may fall out of favor with investors and underperform growth stocks during given periods.
The Russell 2500 Index is an unmanaged index comprised of the 2,500 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLOSURE
As managers, one of our responsibilities is to communicate with shareholders in an open and direct manner. Insofar as some of our opinions and comments in our letters to shareholders are based on our current expectations, they are considered "forward-looking statements," which may or may not be accurate over the long term. While we believe we have a reasonable basis for our comments and have confidence in our opinions, actual results may differ materially from those we anticipate. You can identify forward-looking statements by words such as "believe," "expect," "may," "anticipate," and other similar expressions when discussing prospects for particular portfolio holdings and/or the markets, generally. We cannot, however, assure future results and disclaim any obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Further, information provided in this report should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell any particular security.

In accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code pursuant to Section 852(b)(3), the amounts in column (2) are long-term capital gain distributions.
A Form 1099 has been mailed to all shareholders of record on dividend record dates setting forth the specific amounts to be included in their 2019 tax returns. For corporate shareholders, 100% of the amount in column (1) qualifies for the 70% corporate dividends received deduction. Source Capital did not elect to retain any undistributed long-term capital gains for the year ended December 31, 2019. Therefore, Common shareholders will not receive a Form 2439 for 2019.
Notice to Dividend Reinvestment Plan Participants:
When additional shares are issued by Source Capital under the Automatic Reinvestment Plan at a discount from the market price, a participant in the Plan is treated for federal income tax purposes as having received a taxable distribution equal to the market value of the shares purchased. In effect, the discount from market price at which shares are purchased is added to the amount of the cash distribution to determine the total value of the taxable distribution. Such value also becomes the participant's tax basis for the shares purchased under the Plan.
For the year ended December 31, 2019 none of the distributions paid were reinvested at a discount from the market price.
State Tax Information:
1.89% of the amounts reported in column (1) were derived from U.S. Treasury Securities.

SOURCE CAPITAL, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2019
NOTE 1Significant Accounting Policies
Source Capital, Inc. (the "Fund"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek maximum total return for Common shareholders from both capital appreciation and investment income to the extent consistent with protection of invested capital. The Fund qualifies as an investment company pursuant to Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 946, Financial ServicesInvestment Companies. The significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements include the following:
A. Security Valuation
The Fund's investments are reported at fair value as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, ("U.S. GAAP"). The Fund generally determines its net asset value as of approximately 4:00 p.m. New York time each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. Further discussion of valuation methods, inputs and classifications can be found under Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements.
B. Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
C. Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income
Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency fair value of investment securities, and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies, are translated using the daily spot rate; and (2) purchases, sales, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The resultant exchange gains and losses are included in net realized or net unrealized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Distributions payable on the Common Stock are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
D. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)Disclosure FrameworkChanges to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . The amendments eliminate certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements for all entities, requires public entities to disclose certain new information and modifies some disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The Adviser is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the Fund's financial statements.
NOTE 2Risk Considerations
Investing in the Fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.
Market Risk: Because the values of the Fund's investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Fund. You could lose money on your investment in the Fund or the Fund could underperform other investments.
Common Stocks and Other Securities (Long): The prices of common stocks and other securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including; those directly involving companies whose securities are owned by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. In addition, the emphasis on a value-oriented investment approach by the Fund's investment adviser, First Pacific Advisors, LP ("Adviser"), generally results in the Fund's portfolio being invested primarily in medium or smaller sized companies. Smaller companies may be subject to a greater degree of change in earnings and business prospects than larger, more established companies, and smaller companies are often more reliant on key products or personnel than larger companies. Also, securities of smaller companies are traded in lower volumes than those issued by larger companies and may be more volatile than those of larger companies. The Fund's foreign investments are subject to additional risks such as, foreign markets could go down or prices of the Fund's foreign investments could go down because of unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates, foreign government actions, social, economic or political instability or other factors that can adversely affect investments in foreign countries. These factors can also make foreign securities less liquid, more volatile and harder to value than U.S. securities. In light of these characteristics of smaller companies and their securities, the Fund may be subjected to greater risk than that assumed when investing in the equity securities of larger companies.

SOURCE CAPITAL, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
December 31, 2019
Interest Rate and Credit Risk: The values of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by the Fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit rating of these securities. For example, the value of debt securities in the Fund's portfolio generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, call or refinance a security before its stated maturity, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Debt securities are subject to credit risk, meaning that the issuer of the debt security may default or fail to make timely payments of principal or interest. The values of any of the Fund's investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are generally subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions.
Stripped Mortgage-Backed Interest Only ("I/O") and Principal Only ("P/O") Securities: Stripped mortgage backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest payments on the underlying mortgages (the I/O class), while the other class will receive all of the principal payments (the P/O class). The Fund currently has investments in I/O and P/O securities. The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield-to-maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in I/Os.
Repurchase Agreements: Repurchase agreements permit the Fund to maintain liquidity and earn income over periods of time as short as overnight. Repurchase agreements held by the Fund are fully collateralized by U.S. Government securities, or securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, or securities that are within the three highest credit categories assigned by established rating agencies (Aaa, Aa, or A by Moody's or AAA, AA or A by Standard & Poor's) or, if not rated by Moody's or Standard & Poor's, are of equivalent investment quality as determined by the Adviser. Such collateral is in the possession of the Fund's custodian. The collateral is evaluated daily to ensure its fair value equals or exceeds the current fair value of the repurchase agreements including accrued interest. In the event of default on the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement ("MRA"). The MRA permits the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty's bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a fair value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund's obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Repurchase agreements outstanding at the end of the period are listed in the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.
NOTE 3Capital Stock
The Fund did not issue any shares of Common Stock under its Dividend Reinvestment Plan for shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund repurchased 70,966 of its outstanding shares at a weighted-average discount of 12.96% from net asset value per share. These repurchases were made pursuant to the stock repurchase program approved annually by the Fund's Board of Directors. Under the program, the Fund is authorized to make open-market repurchases of its common stock of up to 10% of the Fund's outstanding shares during the twelve-month period beginning January 1, 2019. The Fund expects to repurchase its common stock when the discount to NAV of the trading price of its common stock on the NYSE is greater than 10%, subject to various factors, including the ability of the Fund to raise cash to repurchase shares in a tax-efficient manner.
NOTE 4Advisory Fees and Other Affiliated Transactions
Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement"), the Fund pays the Adviser, monthly investment advisory fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.725% for the first $100 million of total net assets, 0.700% for the next $100 million of total net assets, and 0.675% for any total net assets in excess of $200 million. The Agreement obligates the Adviser to reduce its fee to the extent necessary to reimburse the Fund for any annual expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, the cost of brokerage and research services, legal expenses related to portfolio securities, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) in excess of 1.5% of the first $30 million and 1% of the remaining average net assets of the Fund for the year.
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund paid aggregate fees and expenses of $153,332 to all Directors who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser.

Dividends and distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax reporting basis, which may differ from financial reporting. For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had the following components of distributable earnings at December 31, 2019:
| Unrealized appreciation | $ |
|---|---|

As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had $1,021,538 of post-enactment short-term capital losses and $1,394,812 of post-enactment long-term capital losses available to offset possible future capital gains.
The tax status of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| Dividends from ordinary income | $ 2,546,898 | $ 3,618,111 |
| Distributions from long-term capital gains | $ 5,942,663 | $ 32,414,887 |
The cost of investment securities held at December 31, 2019, was $332,099,231 for federal income tax purposes. Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for all investments at December 31, 2019, for federal income tax purposes was $56,787,866 and $5,892,984, respectively resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $50,894,882. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The statute of limitations remains open for the last 3 years, once a return is filed. No examinations are in progress at this time.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund had no reclassifications between Paid in Capital and Distributable Earnings.
NOTE 6Disclosure of Fair Value Measurements
The Fund uses the following methods and inputs to establish the fair value of its assets and liabilities. Use of particular methods and inputs may vary over time based on availability and relevance as market and economic conditions evolve.
Equity securities are generally valued each day at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities principally are traded, as of the close of business on that day. If there have been no sales that day, equity securities are generally valued at the last available bid price. Securities that are unlisted and fixed-income and convertible securities listed on a national securities exchange for which the over-the-counter ("OTC") market more accurately reflects the securities' value in the judgment of the Fund's officers, are valued at the most recent bid price. However, most fixed income securities are generally valued at prices obtained from pricing vendors and brokers. Vendors value such securities based on one or more of the following inputs: transactions, bids, offers quotations from dealers and trading systems, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities, benchmarks, underlying equity of the issuer, and proprietary pricing models such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data (includes prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility). Short-term corporate notes with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
Securities for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the Adviser are valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by the authority of the Fund's Board of Directors. Various inputs may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security's value. These inputs include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations of investments that would have been used had greater market activity occurred.
The Fund classifies its assets based on three valuation methodologies. Level 1 values are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar

assets and quoted prices in inactive markets or other market observable inputs as noted above including spreads, cash flows, financial performance, prepayments, defaults, collateral, credit enhancements, and interest rate volatility. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Fund's determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the assets. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table presents the valuation levels of the Fund's investments as of December 31, 2019:

Level 3 Valuation Process: Investments classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are valued by the Adviser in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the Fund's Board of Directors. The Adviser employs various methods to determine fair valuations including regular review of key inputs and assumptions, and review of related market activity, if any. However, there are generally no observable trade activities in these securities. The Adviser reports to the Board of Directors at their regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, or more often if warranted. The report includes a summary of the results of the process, the key inputs and assumptions noted, and any changes to the inputs and assumptions used. When appropriate, the Adviser will recommend changes to the procedures and process employed. The value determined for an investment using the fair value procedures may differ significantly from the value realized upon the sale of such investment. Transfers of investments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recorded at fair value as of the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2.
There were transfers of $356,093 out of Level 3 into Level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2019. Transfers out were due to change in valuation technique from single broker quoted to vendor priced.

SOURCE CAPITAL, INC. REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF SOURCE CAPITAL, INC.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Source Capital, Inc. (the "Fund") including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). The financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2015, December 31, 2016, and December 31, 2017 were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm whose report, dated February 20, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights. In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund at December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's 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 Fund 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 auditor of one or more FPA investment companies since 2018.

SOURCE CAPITAL, INC. APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
(Unaudited)
Approval of the Advisory Agreement. At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on August 12, 2019, the Directors approved the continuation of the advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the "Advisory Agreement") for an additional one-year period through September 30, 2020, on the recommendation of the Independent Directors, who met in executive session on August 12, 2019 prior to the Board meeting to review and discuss the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement. The Board had also met on July 8, 2019, with the Independent Directors meeting separately prior to the Meeting in executive session with the management of the Adviser and then separately with independent counsel to evaluate the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. Prior to their July 8 meeting, the Independent Directors, through their independent counsel, had requested and received extensive materials prepared in connection with the review of the Advisory Agreements. The materials provided a broad range of information regarding the Fund, including a description of, among other matters, the terms of the Advisory Agreement; the services provided by the Adviser; the experience of the relevant investment personnel; the Fund's performance in absolute terms and as compared to the performance of peers and appropriate benchmark(s); the fees and expenses of the Fund in absolute terms and as compared to peers; and the profitability of the Adviser from serving as adviser to the Fund. Following their review at the July 8 meeting, the Independent Directors requested (through their independent counsel) and received supplemental information and responses to a number of questions relating to the materials provided by the Adviser.
In addition, the Board met regularly throughout the year and received information on a variety of topics that were relevant to its annual consideration of the renewal of the Advisory Agreement including, among other matters, Fund investment performance, compliance, risk management, liquidity, valuation, trade execution and other matters relating to Fund operations. The Independent Directors also had met with management of the Adviser (including key investment personnel) at their quarterly meetings as well as with management at other times between the quarterly meetings throughout the year. The materials specifically provided in connection with the annual review of the Advisory Agreement supplement the information received throughout the year.
At their regular Board meetings and executive sessions, the Independent Directors were also assisted by independent legal counsel. In addition to the materials provided by the Adviser, the Independent Directors received a legal memorandum from independent counsel that outlined, among other matters: the duties of the Independent Directors and relevant requirements under the 1940 Act; the general principles under state law relevant to considering the approval of advisory contracts; an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment advisers and investment company boards of trustees have fulfilled their duties; and factors to be considered by the Independent Directors when voting on advisory agreements. During executive session, independent legal counsel reviewed with the Independent Directors these duties, standards and factors summarized in the legal memorandum described above. The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Board and the Independent Directors, as well as the Directors' conclusions relative to such factors.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board and the Independent Directors considered information provided by the Adviser in response to their requests, as well as information provided throughout the year regarding: the Investment Adviser and its staffing in connection with the Fund, including the Fund's portfolio manager; the scope of services supervised and provided by the Adviser; and the absence of any significant service problems reported to the Board. The Board and the Independent Directors noted that the Fund has one investment team for the equity and asset allocation portion of the Fund and another for the fixed income portion of the Fund. The equity and asset allocation portion of the Fund is managed by Steven Romick, who joined the Adviser in 1996, Brian A. Selmo, who joined the Adviser in 2008 and Mark Landecker, who joined the Adviser in 2009. The fixed income portion of the Fund is managed by Tom Atteberry, who joined the Advisor in 1997, and Abhijeet V. Patwardhan, who joined the Adviser in 2010. The Adviser noted that both portfolio management teams are supported by a team of analysts. After discussion, the
Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Adviser have benefited and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
Investment Performance. The Board and the Independent Directors reviewed the overall investment performance of the Fund. They also received information from an independent consultant, Broadridge, regarding the Fund's performance relative to a peer group non-leveraged closed-end core funds selected by Broadridge ("Peer Group"). The Board and the Independent Directors recognize that the Fund's investment strategy is less than 4 years old and has not yet had time to develop a meaningful, long-term track record. However, in light of the Fund's and the Adviser's long history, the Board and the Independent Directors noted the Adviser's experience and track record, as well as the Fund's long-term investment performance. In addition, the Fund underperformed the Fund's blended benchmark, S&P 500 Index/Barclays Aggregate Index for the one-year period ending March 31, 2019. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the Adviser's continued management of the Fund should benefit the Fund and its shareholders
Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses; Comparison with Peer Group and Institutional Fees. The Board and the Independent Directors considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the Fund's advisory fees and total expense levels. The Board and

the Independent Directors reviewed comparative information regarding fees and expenses for the Peer Group. The Directors noted that the Fund's fees and expenses were at the low end of the range relative to the Peer Group. The Board and the Independent Directors noted that the fee rate charged to the Fund at its current asset level is similar to the fee rate charged by the Adviser on the other products managed in a similar style by the portfolio managers. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the continued payment of advisory fees and expenses by the Fund to the Adviser was fair and reasonable and should continue to benefit the Fund and its shareholders.
Adviser Profitability and Costs. The Board and the Independent Directors considered information provided by the Adviser regarding the Adviser's costs in providing services to the Fund, the profitability of the Adviser and the benefits to the Adviser from its relationship to the Fund. They reviewed and considered the Adviser's representations regarding its assumptions and methods of allocating certain costs, such as personnel costs, which constitute the Adviser's largest operating cost, with respect to the provision of investment advisory services. In evaluating the Adviser's profitability, they excluded certain distribution and marketing-related expenses. The Board and the Independent Directors recognized that the Adviser is entitled under the law to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services that it provides to the Fund. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the Adviser's level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund did not indicate that the Adviser's compensation was unreasonable or excessive.
Economies of Scale and Sharing of Economies of Scale. The Board and the Independent Directors considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether the fee rate is reasonable in relation to the Fund's asset levels and any economies of scale that may exist. The Board and the Independent Directors considered the Adviser's representation that its internal costs of providing investment management services to the Fund have significantly increased in recent years as a result of a number of factors, including new or increased administrative expenses resulting from recent legislative and regulatory requirements. The Board and the Independent Directors considered both quantitative and qualitative information regarding the Adviser's representation that it has also made significant investments in: (1) the portfolio management teams, analysts, traders and other investment personnel who assist with the management of the Fund; (2) new compliance, operations, and administrative personnel; (3) information technology, portfolio accounting and trading systems; and (4) office space, each of which enhances the quality of services provided to the Fund. The Board and the Independent Directors considered information regarding the Adviser's representation that such increased costs have also included a significant investment in the investment management team, and additions to administrative personnel and systems that enhance the quality of services provided to the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund does not charge sales loads.
The Independent Directors noted that the fee rate contained breakpoints as the Fund's assets increased. They considered that many registered funds have breakpoints in the advisory fee structure as a means by which to share in the benefits of potential economies of scale as a fund's assets grow. They also considered that not all funds have breakpoints in their fee structures and that breakpoints are not the exclusive means of sharing potential economies of scale. The Board and the Independent Directors considered the Adviser's statement that it believes that additional breakpoints would not be appropriate for the Fund at this time given the ongoing investments the Adviser is making in its business for the benefit of the Fund, uncertainties regarding the direction of the economy, rising inflation, increasing costs for personnel and systems, and growth or contraction in the Fund's assets, all of which could negatively impact the profitability of the Adviser. In addition, the Adviser noted that since the Fund is a closed-end fund, and based upon the Fund's current operating policies, the ability to raise additional assets is limited, and that the Fund's asset level had decreased from distributions resulting from the transition to the Fund's new investment program and from share repurchases. The Board and the Independent Directors noted that the Adviser had not proposed to increase the fee rate charged to the Fund despite the Adviser's representation that its internal costs of providing investment management services to the Fund have increased significantly in recent years as a result of a number of factors, including the Adviser's substantial investment in additional professional resources and staffing. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the Fund is benefitting from the ongoing investments made by the Adviser in its team of personnel serving the Fund and in the Adviser's service infrastructure, and that in light of these investments, additional breakpoints in the Fund's advisory fee structure were not warranted at current asset levels.
Ancillary Benefits. The Board and the Independent Directors considered other actual and potential benefits to the Adviser from managing the Fund, including the acquisition and use of research services with commissions generated by the Fund, in concluding that the Contractual advisory and other fees are fair and reasonable for the Fund. They noted that the Adviser does not have any affiliates that benefit from the Adviser's relationship to the Fund.
Conclusions. The Board and the Independent Directors determined that the Fund continues to benefit from the services of the Adviser's highly experienced portfolio management teams, which has produced reasonable long-term returns. In addition, the Board and the Independent Directors agreed that the Fund continues to receive high quality services from the Adviser. The Board and the Independent Directors concluded that the current advisory fee rate is reasonable and fair to the Fund and its shareholders in light of

the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser and the Adviser's profitability and costs. The Board and the Independent Directors also noted their intention to continue monitoring the factors relevant to the Adviser's compensation, such as changes in the Fund's asset levels, changes in portfolio management personnel and the cost and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund. On the basis of the foregoing, and without assigning particular weight to any single factor, none of which was dispositive, the Board and the Independent Directors concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Fund to continue to be advised and managed by the Adviser and determined to approve the continuation of the current Advisory Agreement for another one-year period through September 30, 2020.

SUMMARY OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Holders of record (other than brokers or nominees of banks and other financial institutions) of Common Stock are eligible to participate in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("Plan"), pursuant to which distributions to shareholders are paid in or reinvested in shares of Common Stock of the Fund ("Dividend Shares"). American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, acts as the "Agent" for Plan participants. All correspondence with the Agent should be sent to: American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, Attn: Shareholder Relations Department, 6201 15th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, 11219.
A shareholder may join the Plan by signing and returning an authorization form that may be obtained from the Agent. A shareholder may elect to withdraw from the Plan at any time by written notice to the Agent and thereby elect to receive cash in lieu of Dividend Shares. There is no penalty for withdrawal from the Plan, and shareholders who have previously withdrawn from the Plan may rejoin at any time. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan.
Purchases of the Fund's shares are made by the Agent, on behalf of the participants in the Plan, promptly after receipt of funds, and in no event later than 30 days from such receipt except when restricted under applicable federal securities laws. The Agent purchases outstanding shares in the market when the price plus estimated commissions of the Fund's Common Stock on the NYSE is lower than the Fund's most recently calculated net asset value per share. To the extent that outstanding shares are not available at a cost of less than per share net asset value, the Agent, on behalf of the participants in the Plan, accepts payment of the dividend, or the remaining portion thereof, in authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock of the Fund on the payment date. Such shares are issued at a per share price equal to the higher of (1) the net asset value per share on the payment date, or (2) 95% of the closing market price per share on the payment date. There are no brokerage charges with respect to shares issued
directly by the Fund to satisfy the dividend reinvestment requirements. However, each participant pays a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Agent's open market purchases of shares. In each case, the cost per share of shares purchased for each shareholder's account is the average cost, including brokerage commissions, of any shares purchased in the open market plus the cost of any shares issued by the Fund.
For Federal income tax purposes, shareholders who reinvest distributions are treated as receiving distributions in an amount equal to the fair market value, determined as of the payment date, of the shares received if the shares are purchased from the Fund. Such value may exceed the amount of the cash distribution that would have been paid. If outstanding shares are purchased in the open market, the taxable distribution equals the cash distribution that would have been paid. In either event, the cost basis in the shares received equals the amount recognized as a taxable distribution.
In the case of foreign participants whose dividends are subject to United States income tax withholding and in the case of any participants subject to 31% federal backup withholding, the Agent will reinvest dividends after deduction of the amount required to be withheld.
All record holders of Common Stock are also offered the opportunity, on a voluntary basis, to send in cash payments of not less than $100 each up to a total of $7,500 per month to purchase additional shares of the Common Stock of the Fund through participation in the Cash Investment Plan ("Cash Plan"). Under the Cash Plan, shares are purchased in the market and no shares are issued by the Fund. A brochure describing the terms and conditions of the Cash Plan, including fees and expenses, is available from the Agent.

(e)(1) The audit committee shall pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services that the committee considers compatible with maintaining the independent auditors independence. The pre-approval requirement will extend to all non-audit services provided to the registrant, the adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant; provided, however, that an engagement of the registrants independent auditors to perform attest services for the registrant, the adviser or its affiliates required by generally accepted auditing standards to complete the examination of the

registrants financial statements (such as an examination conducted in accordance with Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements Number 16, or a Successor Statement, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants), will be deem pre-approved if:
(i) the registrants independent auditors inform the audit committee of the engagement,
(ii) the registrants independent auditors advise the audit committee at least annually that the performance of this engagement will not impair the independent auditors independence with respect to the registrant, and
(iii) the audit committee receives a copy of the independent auditors report prepared in connection with such services.

Actions taken under any such delegation will be reported to the full committee at its next meeting.
(e)(2) 0% of the services provided to the registrant described in paragraphs b-d of this Item were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(h) The registrants Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrants investment advisor, which were not pre-approved (not requiring pre-approval), is compatible with maintaining EYs independence.

*Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.*
The Fund has delegated the responsibility for voting proxies to First Pacific Advisors, LP (the Adviser or FPA), subject to the Boards continuing oversight. FPAs Proxy Voting Policy seeks to ensure that Fund proxies are voted consistently and in the best economic interests of the Fund. FPA considers each proxy individually, on a case-by-case basis.
Where a proxy proposal raises a material conflict between FPAs interests and the Funds interests, FPA will resolve the conflict as follows:
FPA will convene an internal group of senior FPA employees who are independent from the conflict of interest at issue, and after review of the issue and any associated documentation, the internal group will propose a course of action that they determine is in the best interest of the applicable FPA Client(s). The internal group may take, but is not limited to, the following courses of action:
· Consulting with the Board of Directors for a course of action;
· Voting in accordance with the recommendation of its proxy voting service provider;
· Seeking Client consent for the vote recommended by the Portfolio Manager;
· Engaging an independent third party to provide a recommendation on how to vote the proxy; or
· Abstaining from voting the proxy.
FPA will vote the proxy or abstain from voting the proxy pursuant to the internal groups instructions.
In certain instances, FPA may elect not to vote a proxy or otherwise be unable to vote a proxy on the Funds behalf. Such instances may include but are not limited to: (i) a de minimis number of shares held; (ii) potential adverse impact on the Funds portfolio of voting such proxy (e.g., share blocking or short-term prohibitions on selling the issuers shares after the vote); (iii) or logistical or other considerations related to non-U.S. issuers (e.g., where an investment companys legal structure may not be recognized in the relevant jurisdiction). In addition, FPA generally will not seek to recall securities that are out on loan for the purpose of voting the securities unless it is in the Funds best interests to do so.
The Fund has filed Form N-PX, with the Funds complete proxy voting record for the twelve months ended June 30, 2019. The Funds Form N-PX is available without charge, upon request, by calling toll-free (800) 982-4372 and on the SECs web site at www.sec.gov.

- Investors in these unregistered funds pay a fee up to 20% of the net positive annual performance, subject to certain hurdles, in addition to the base management fee.
*Conflicts of Interest.* A portfolio manager may also responsible for managing other accounts in addition to the Fund. Such accounts may include, without limitation, separately managed accounts for foundations, endowments, pension plans, and high net-worth families; registered investment companies; unregistered investment companies relying on either Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act (such companies are commonly referred to as hedge funds);
SEQ.=1,FOLIO='',FILE='C:\JMS\111407\20-5566-2\task9636590\5566-2-ga.htm',USER='111407',CD='Mar 9 20:21 2020'
foreign investment companies; and may also include accounts or investments managed or made by the portfolio managers in a personal or other capacity (Proprietary Accounts). Management of other accounts in addition to the Fund can present certain conflicts of interest, as described below.
From time to time, potential conflicts of interest may arise between a portfolio managers management of the investments of the Fund, on the one hand, and the management of other accounts, on the other. The other accounts might have similar investment objectives or strategies as the Fund, or otherwise hold, purchase, or sell securities that are eligible to be held, purchased or sold by the Fund. Because of their positions with the Fund, a portfolio manager knows the size, timing and possible market impact of the Funds trades. It is theoretically possible that a portfolio manager could use this information to the advantage of other accounts he manages and to the possible detriment of the Fund.
A potential conflict of interest may arise as a result of a portfolio managers management of a number of accounts (including Proprietary Accounts) with similar investment strategies. Often, an investment opportunity may be suitable for both the Fund and other accounts, but may not be available in sufficient quantities for both the Fund and the other accounts to participate fully. Similarly, there may be limited opportunity to sell an investment held by the Fund and another account. In addition, different account guidelines and/or differences within particular investment strategies may lead to the use of different investment practices for portfolios with a similar investment strategy. The Adviser will not necessarily purchase or sell the same securities at the same time, same direction, or in the same proportionate amounts for all eligible accounts, particularly if different accounts have materially different amounts of capital under management, different amounts of investable cash available, different strategies, or different risk tolerances. As a result, although the Adviser manages numerous accounts and/or portfolios with similar or identical investment objectives, or may manage accounts with different objectives that trade in the same securities, the portfolio decisions relating to these accounts, and the performance resulting from such decisions, may differ from account to account.
Whenever decisions are made to buy or sell securities by the Fund and one or more of the other accounts (including Proprietary Accounts) simultaneously, the Adviser may aggregate the purchases and sales of the securities and will allocate the securities transactions in a manner that it believes to be equitable under the circumstances. To this end, the Adviser has adopted policies and procedures that are intended to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated equitably among accounts over time. As a result of the allocations, there may be instances where the Fund will not participate in a transaction that is allocated among other accounts or the Fund may not be allocated the full amount of the securities sought to be traded. While these aggregation and allocation policies could have a detrimental effect on the price or amount of the securities available to the Fund from time to time, it is the opinion of the Adviser that the overall benefits outweigh any disadvantages that may arise from this practice. Subject to applicable laws and/or account restrictions, the Adviser may buy, sell or hold securities for other accounts while entering into a different or opposite investment decision for the Fund.
The Adviser and a portfolio manager may also face a conflict of interest where some accounts pay higher fees to the Adviser than others, such as by means of performance fees. Specifically,
SEQ.=1,FOLIO='',FILE='C:\JMS\111407\20-5566-2\task9636590\5566-2-ga.htm',USER='111407',CD='Mar 9 20:21 2020'
the entitlement to a performance fee in managing one or more accounts may create an incentive for the Adviser to take risks in managing assets that it would not otherwise take in the absence of such arrangements. Additionally, since performance fees reward the Adviser for performance in accounts which are subject to such fees, the Adviser may have an incentive to favor these accounts over those that have only fixed asset-based fees with respect to areas such as trading opportunities, trade allocation, and allocation of new investment opportunities.
The Adviser has implemented specific policies and procedures (e.g., a code of ethics and trade allocation policies) that seek to address potential conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with the management of the Fund and other accounts and that are designed to seek to ensure that all client accounts are treated fairly and equitably over time.
(a)(3) Compensation . Compensation of the Advisers Portfolio Managers consists of: (i) a base salary; (ii) an annual bonus; and (iii) if the Portfolio Managers are equity owners of the Adviser, participation in residual profits of the Adviser.
The bonus calculation has both variable and fixed components. The most significant portion of the variable component is based upon the Advisers assessment of the Portfolio Managers performance in three key areas: long-term performance, team building, and succession planning. The Adviser assesses long-term performance over a full market cycle, which generally lasts between five- and ten years. Other considerations include manager and strategy recognition, client engagement and retention and business development. Portfolio Managers can receive 100% of their variable participation when the Fund is closed to investors.
The majority of the fixed portion is based on the revenues received on the assets managed by the Portfolio Managers, including the Funds assets.
As an equity owner of the Adviser, the value of the Portfolio Managers ownership interest is dependent upon his ability to effectively manage the business over the long term.
The Adviser offers a 401(k) plan whereby the Portfolio Managers, as well as all permanent employees of the Adviser, may elect to contribute up to the legal limit.
