#### PROSPECTOR FUNDS, INC.

January 19, 2023

Dear Shareholders of the Prospector Capital Appreciation Fund and Prospector Opportunity Fund,

"This time is different." As 2022 began, that sentiment seemed pervasive. With the S&P 500 trading close to all-time highs, continuing to be led by mega-cap technology and growth stocks, despite rising interest rates and worrisome inflation readings, the time-tested rule that ultimately, the stock market is a discounting mechanism, was seemingly being ignored. However, as the year progressed and inflation continued to surge, reaching a 40-year+ high of 9.0% in June, this time proved, unequivocally, not to be different. The Federal Reserve, in an effort to tamp down consumer prices, aggressively raised rates – ultimately by fully 425 basis points on the year. As interest rates continued to rise, the market rotated from "voting machine" to "weighing machine" (to once again use a favorite Benjamin Graham metaphor) as expected future cash flows were discounted at much higher interest rates and the present value of formerly nosebleed valuations were adjusted much lower. Against this backdrop, value stocks trounced growth (the S&P 500 Value Index's decline of 7% bested its growth counterpart by nearly 23%), and many of the leaders over the past decade were hit hardest. For example, the so-called "FAANG" stocks saw an average decline of over 46% for the year, with Apple, the best performer among the group, declining over 26%. Indeed, there was seemingly no place to hide in 2022 as both stocks and bonds fell by more than 10% for the first time on record according to Ned Davis Research.

As 2023 begins, the market remains on edge. An unprecedented pandemic brought with it unprecedented economic and social impacts. An abrupt, global shutdown in 2020 led to drastic reductions in economic activity, followed by an equally abrupt reopening, supply and labor shortages with corresponding inflationary effects – the results of which we are still feeling today. Central banks globally have been tightening policy as a result, and recession fears abound. According to a recent Morgan Stanley report, "of the 38 central banks around with world, 32 (or 84%) have hiked their main policy rate over the last six months." Domestically, as we indicated in our last quarterly writing, we continue to fear the impacts of a potentially too-hawkish Fed. Although the CPI has declined month over month since the peak in June, it remains stubbornly high (over 6% at the last reading) and the employment market remains very tight. Meanwhile, the rapid rise in interest rates has caused the housing market to come to a virtual halt, as the 30-year mortgage rate, which ended 2021 at 3.31%, reached a high of 7.16% in October 2022 and remains well north of 6%. Other signs of cooling include the ISM Manufacturing Index<sup>1</sup>, which recently registered a 48.4 (a level indicative of a contracting economy) and the ISM Services PMI<sup>2</sup> Index for December also indicated contraction after 30 months straight of growth. Despite this, the Federal Reserve has indicated an unwillingness to cease tightening until inflation is closer to their 2% target, and are willing to slow the economy considerably to do so.

The non-manufacturing PMI captures business conditions in the services sectors, such as new orders, production, employment, prices and inventories to determine whether the industry contracted or expanded during the period. |

Moreover, the Fed's "dot plot" (the central bank's own projection of where they estimate the Fed funds rate will be in the future) indicates a plan to hold rates flat in 2023 once the terminal rate of tightening is reached – a plan which implicitly assumes a relatively strong economy. However, market expectations are not as sanguine and predict an economy not able to withstand short-term interest rates at such a restrictive level. As can be seen in the table below, market expectations are for the Fed to cut rates several times in the back half of 2023.

![](pf-ltrchart1.jpg)

Thus, it seems the market shares our concerns of a Fed-induced recession. If the central bank does pivot in the coming months, it would not be surprising to see a knee-jerk rotation back into growth stocks and the tech leaders of the past decade. However, we are dubious this would be sustained, given there are many arguments to be made that we are in a "higher for longer" period when it comes to inflation and interest rates. Some of the major factors which impact our reasoning include:

---

| |
|:---|
| The Fed has only just begun their process of Quantitative Tightening. It is unknown what the impact of attempting to reduce their $9 trillion balance sheet will be. If they become more aggressive selling Treasuries, it could cause rates to rise above where they would otherwise be – just as rates were potentially artificially low during much of Quantitative Easing. |
| China's recent decision to abandon their "zero-COVID" policy and reopen the economy will likely fuel demand for autos, and other durable goods, real estate, etc. over the coming years. Given the size of China's economy, potential for demand shocks exist, which could once again bring about inflationary supply / demand imbalances. |
| Also related to China, a further chilling of our relationship with the country, especially when it comes to their intentions with Taiwan, could further the trend of domestic "onshoring" we have seen following COVID-induced supply chain disruptions, as more companies move manufacturing hubs and reliance on supplies away from China. This could serve to reverse decades of deflationary productivity gains. |
| The Russia / Ukraine war remains an unknown, and an escalation by Putin could lead to further disruptions in the supply of energy, wheat, and other commodities, which would be additive to inflation. |

In addition to these above factors, historically, as can be seen in the chart below, once growth/value rotations happen, they typically last for years.

#### Portfolio Positioning
Despite all the unknowns, and persistent volatility, we are encouraged by the fact that once again fundamentals and valuations seem to matter. We are in a proverbial "stock-pickers' market," and the backdrop of volatility has allowed us to find misvalued opportunities. The environment has allowed us to add cyclically exposed, quality companies at what we feel are discount prices. This includes companies exposed to the auto, housing, and technology industries. Many names in these groups are down 30-50% from their highs and we think as the Fed pauses, investors will seek out these beaten-up industries. Unsurprisingly, we have done this in our typical gradual fashion.

A key overweight in both Funds is the property-casualty insurance sector. The Funds own underwriters and insurance brokers which are exposed to rising prices for insurance risk and whose investment income should also benefit from higher interest rates. We believe renewals at 4/1, and mid-year will show continued strength, which will benefit your holdings.

We have decreased exposure to banks in recent months in both the Opportunity Fund and Capital Appreciation Fund. We are concerned about rising credit and deposit costs along with marks on banks' fixed income portfolios. However, the group is inexpensive on earnings and disliked by investors. This is in addition to the fact that capital levels remain healthy and bank underwriting has been conservative versus prior cycles. It is possible we will increase exposure to this beaten up group as 2023 progresses.

Importantly, while we highlight sector-level movements, bottom-up analysis is essential, and we follow and find opportunities anywhere we see attractively priced businesses with conservatively-stated balance sheets and reliable cash flows. Needless to say, the current environment is keeping us very busy.

#### Prospector Opportunity Fund Highlights
The Prospector Opportunity Fund declined 6.20% for the year 2022. This compared to a 17.32% decrease for the Russell Midcap and a 20.44% decline for the Russell 2000. The primary source of the Fund's relative outperformance for the year was derived from superior stock selection within Financials, driven by our investments in property-casualty and life insurance. Within property-casualty, an increasingly positive pricing environment led to gains for most portfolio holdings during the year, while in life insurance, your portfolio's positioning in less-levered, more defensive names helped results. Healthcare and industrials also contributed significantly to relative outperformance, with healthcare aided by investments in pharmaceutical companies Merck and Pfizer, as well as managed care organization, Cigna. Curtis-Wright (CW) was the Fund's top contributor within industrials given a solid demand backdrop for its defense & aerospace businesses. There is also growing investor interest in CW's nuclear energy business, as this alternative energy source has gained renewed focus with the war in Ukraine.

The Opportunity Fund's most significant underperformance versus the benchmarks was within information technology and materials. FARO Technologies and Littelfuse were the biggest detractors from performance within tech given a weak sales environment, which we view as temporary. In materials, our investments in gold miners underperformed given a combination of cost inflation, mine-specific downtimes, and the impact of foreign exchange headwinds.

#### Prospector Capital Appreciation Fund Highlights
For the full year 2022, the Prospector Capital Appreciation Fund declined 4.07% as compared to the S&P 500's loss of 18.11% and a 7.98% decline for the Russell 3000 Value. Your portfolio's high-quality and value bias helped stem losses amidst the market's downturn. As was the case with the benchmarks, energy was your portfolio's top contributor to performance. The Fund also saw a positive contribution from financials and healthcare, where stock and sub-industry selection helped results. Within financials, the biggest area of outperformance included property-casualty related names, which saw significant gains during the year as the outlook for insurance rates continued to improve. Healthcare benefited our exposure to large pharmaceutical names, including Merck and Astrazeneca.

While the Fund was underweight technology versus the S&P 500, aiding relative results, positions within the sector were collectively the Fund's largest negative contribution for the year. The Capital Appreciation Fund had an overweight technology weighting when compared to the Russell 3000 Value, due to the Fund's convert allocation to the sector, but better performance within the sector aided relative results versus the Value index.

#### Outlook
Equity and bond market declines have been pronounced. The Federal Reserve has aggressively raised interest rates in an effort to lower inflation, and equity and bond markets are likely to remain volatile until investors sense the Fed is about to pivot to a less restrictive stance. The U.S. and rest of the world continue to manage the impacts of high inflation, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and China's rotation from a "zero-COVID" policy. In our assessment, markets reflect a reasonably high probability of recession.

Employment remains strong. Supply / demand imbalances in the labor market bode well for the health of the consumer given full employment and the prospect for further wage gains, which partially mitigates the impact of inflation on the consumer. We expect continued pressure on housing prices as a result of higher interest rates and affordability concerns. However, the shortage of housing after over a decade of underinvestment following the Great Financial Crisis should prevent a disastrous decline in home prices. Lower-income consumers have been most

impacted by the current inflationary environment, but consumer balance sheets remain generally healthy for the majority of Americans, and consumer credit quality remains strong at the moment. COVID mortality has improved and related pent-up demand is impacting many areas of the economy. These are reasons to believe a recession could be less significant than the previous two recessionary periods.

Following years of lower interest rates helping to drive ever-higher growth-stock valuations, we feel value investing is ripe for a period of outperformance. Further, given the recent market correction, we are finding opportunities to invest in quality businesses with solid balance sheets and cash flows, whose share prices have detached from our assessment of the fundamentals. The bargains inherent in your portfolio should attract acquirers and other investors over time.

Thank you for entrusting us with your money.

#### Expense Example (Unaudited)

#### December 31, 2022

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include but are not limited to, redemption fees, wire transfer fees, maintenance fee (IRA accounts), and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022).

#### ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Fund charges no sales load or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund's transfer agent. The example below includes, but is not limited to, investment advisory fees, shareholder servicing fees and other Fund expenses. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses, interest expense and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. 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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

#### HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. 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 Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

*Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.*

#### Notes to the Financial Statements

#### December 31, 2022

1. ORGANIZATION

Prospector Funds, Inc. (the "Corporation") was organized as a Maryland corporation on June 6, 2007 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end diversified management investment company. The Corporation issues its shares in series, each series representing a distinct portfolio with its own investment objectives and policies. There are two series presently authorized, the Prospector Capital Appreciation Fund and the Prospector Opportunity Fund (individually a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds"). Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 *Financial Services – Investment Companies*. The Funds commenced operations on September 28, 2007.

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund:

**Security Valuation** – The Fund has adopted fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. |
| Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, discounts and similar data. |
| Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |

---

Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Fund's investments are carried at fair value.

**Common Stock** – Securities that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the last bid price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

**Convertible and Corporate Bonds** – Convertible and corporate bonds, including listed issues, are valued at fair value on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and formula-based techniques. The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer. Convertible and corporate bonds are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

------

#### PROSPECTOR FUNDS, INC.

#### Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

#### December 31, 2022

**Investment Companies** – Investments in open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value per share. Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") are valued at the closing exchange price. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or if the closing price does not represent fair value, are valued following procedures approved by the Funds' board of directors (the "Board"). These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events. There can be no assurance that the Funds could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Funds determine their net asset values per share. These types of securities are generally categorized in Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Funds did not hold investments in Level 3 securities.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

As of December 31, 2022 each Fund's investments in securities were classified as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Level 1** | **Level 2** | **Level 3** | **Total** |
| **Capital Appreciation Fund** | | | | |
| Common Stocks | $20479515 | $— | $— | $20479515 |
| Convertible Bonds |  | 5094776 |  | 5094776 |
| Exchange Traded Fund | 273021 |  |  | 273021 |
| Short-Term Investment | 1530320 |  |  | 1530320 |
| Total Investments | $22282856 | $5094776 | $— | $27377632 |
|  | **Level 1** | **Level 2** | **Level 3** | **Total** |
| **Opportunity Fund** |  |  |  |  |
| Common Stocks | $199646611 | $— | $— | $199646611 |
| Exchange Traded Fund | 2303296 |  |  | 2303296 |
| Short-Term Investment | 8777884 |  |  | 8777884 |
| Total Investments | $210727791 | $— | $— | $210727791 |

---

Refer to each Fund's Schedule of Investments for further sector breakout.

The Funds may invest in derivative financial instruments in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets. The Funds' investment objectives allow the Funds to enter into various types of derivative contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign exchange contracts, and purchased and written options. Derivatives may contain various risks including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill their obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market, and the potential for market movements which may expose the funds to gains or losses in excess of the amounts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Funds held no derivative instruments.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

**Distributions to Shareholders** – Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. The character of distributions made during the period from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes

------

#### PROSPECTOR FUNDS, INC.

#### Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

#### December 31, 2022

due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. All net short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.

**Use of Estimates** – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

**Federal Income Taxes** – The Funds intend to meet the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of December 31, 2022, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended December 31, 2022 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities.

**Reclassification of Capital Accounts** – U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Capital Appreciation Fund increased portfolio capital by $88,370 and decreased distributable earnings by $88,370 and the Opportunity Fund increased portfolio capital by $1,452,976 and decreased distributable earnings by $1,452,976.

**Foreign Currency Translation** – The books and records relating to the Funds' non-U.S. dollar denominated investments are maintained in U.S. dollars on the following bases: (1) market value of investment securities, assets, and liabilities are translated at the current rate of exchange; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses, if any, are translated at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Funds report certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

**Illiquid or Restricted Securities** – A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the Fund. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the Board as reflecting fair value. Each Fund intends to invest no more than 15% of its total assets in illiquid securities. Certain restricted securities may be considered illiquid. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and may be valued under methods approved by the Board as reflecting fair value. Certain restricted securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, including Rule 144A securities, are not subject to the limitation on a Fund's investment in illiquid securities if they are determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. As of December 31, 2022, the Board has deemed all Rule 144A securities held within the Capital Appreciation Fund to be liquid. At December 31, 2022, the Funds had no investments in illiquid securities and no restricted securities other than Rule 144A securities. Refer to the Schedule of Investments for further detail.

#### December 31, 2022

**Expenses** – Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based on relative net assets or another appropriate basis.

**Other** – Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. Each Fund determines the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including amortization of bond premium and discount, is recognized on an accrual basis. Shareholders may be subject to a redemption fee equal to 2% of the amount redeemed if Funds' shares are sold within 60 days or less following the date of their purchase.

**Subsequent Events** – Management of the Funds has evaluated Fund related events and transactions that occurred subsequent to December 31, 2022, through the date of issuance of the Funds' financial statements. There were no events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds' financial statements.

4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS, DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS, AND DISTRIBUTIONS PAID

During the year ended December 31, 2022, purchases of securities and proceeds from sales of securities, other than temporary investments in short-term securities, were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Purchases** | **Sales** |
| Capital Appreciation Fund | $8549644 | $9513619 |
| Opportunity Fund | 92693507 | 104657832 |

---

There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government securities.

The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities held by the Funds and the total cost of securities for federal income tax purposes at December 31, 2022, the Funds' most recently completed fiscal year end, were as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Aggregate** | **Aggregate** | **Net** | **Federal** |
|  | **Gross** | **Gross** | **Appreciation/** | **Income** |
|  | **Appreciation** | **Depreciation** | (Depreciation) | **Tax Cost** |
| Capital Appreciation Fund | $6819022 | $(654814) | $6164208 | $21213699 |
| Opportunity Fund | 51048690 | (6125055) | 44923635 | 165805399 |

---

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to wash sales and different book and tax accounting methods for certain securities.

At December 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax-basis were as follows:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Undistributed** | **Undistributed** | **Other** | | **Total** |
|  | **Ordinary** | **Long-Term** | **Accumulated** | **Unrealized** | **Distributable** |
|  | **Income** | **Capital Gains** | **Losses** | **Appreciation** | **Earnings** |
| Capital Appreciation Fund  | $7928  | $70856  | $—  | $6164208  | $6242992  |
| Opportunity Fund | 7376 | 1030945 |  | 44923635 | 45961956 |

#### PROSPECTOR FUNDS, INC.

#### Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

#### December 31, 2022

As of December 31, 2022, the Funds did not have any capital loss carryovers. A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the Fund's taxable year subsequent to October 31. The Capital Appreciation Fund and the Opportunity Fund did not defer any late year losses.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Ordinary** | **Long Term** | |
|  | **Income\*** | **Capital Gains\*\*** | **Total** |
| Capital Appreciation Fund | $150299 | $1413458 | $1563757 |
| Opportunity Fund | 1469012 | 6904375 | 8373387 |

---

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 were as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Ordinary** | **Long Term** | |
|  | **Income\*** | **Capital Gains\*\*** | **Total** |
| Capital Appreciation Fund | $309712 | $3094807 | $3404519 |
| Opportunity Fund | 4263777 | 15830237 | 20094014 |

---

\* For federal income tax purposes, distributions of short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income distributions. <br> \*\* Funds designate long-term capital gain dividends pursuant to IRC Sec. 852(b)(3)(C).

5. AGREEMENTS

The Funds have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Prospector Partners Asset Management, LLC (the "Investment Adviser"), with whom certain directors and officers of the Corporation are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive an investment advisory fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% as applied to each Fund's daily net assets.

The Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and reimburse each Fund's other expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that each Fund's operating expenses do not exceed 1.25% of its average daily net assets. Fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Investment Adviser may be recouped by the Investment Adviser for a period of three fiscal years following the fiscal year during which such waiver or reimbursement was made if such recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time the waiver or reimbursement occurred. As of December 31, 2022, the Investment Adviser did not recoup any previously waived fees or reimbursed expenses. The Fee Waiver and Expense Limitation Agreement will be in effect through at least September 30, 2023 . Waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery by year of expiration are as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Expiration** | **Capital Appreciation Fund** | **Opportunity Fund** |
| 12/31/23 | $181184 | $220158 |
| 12/31/24 | 147451 | 202416 |
| 12/31/25 | 140905 | 208540 |
| Total | $469540 | $631114 |

#### PROSPECTOR FUNDS, INC.

#### Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

#### December 31, 2022

As of December 31, 2022, it was possible, but not probable, those amounts would be recovered by the Investment Adviser. At the end of each fiscal year in the future, the Funds will continue to assess the potential recovery of waived/reimbursed fees and expenses for financial reporting purposes.

Quasar Distributors, LLC ("Quasar") serves as distributor of the Funds' shares pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with the Corporation. Each Fund's shares are sold on a no-load basis and, therefore, Quasar receives no sales commission or sales load for providing services to the Funds. The Corporation has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "12b-1 Plan"), which authorizes the Corporation to reimburse Quasar and certain financial intermediaries who assist in distributing each Fund's shares or who provide shareholder services to Fund shareholders a distribution and/or shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets (computed on an annual basis). All or a portion of the fee may be used by the Funds or Quasar to pay the Fund's distribution fees and costs of printing reports and prospectuses for potential investors and the costs of other distribution and shareholder services expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Capital Appreciation Fund and Opportunity Fund incurred expenses of $12,576 and $122,119 respectively, pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, serves as transfer agent, administrator and fund accountant for the Funds. U.S. Bank N.A. serves as custodian for the Funds.

6. INDEMNIFICATIONS

The Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

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 Corporation 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 Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Corporation'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 Corporation'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, 2022, 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.

#### BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Corporation's independent directors (the "directors") unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Funds and Prospector Partners Asset Management, LLC (the "Advisor") at a Board of Directors meeting held on August 30, 2022.

In preparation for the meeting, the directors had requested from the Advisor and evaluated a memorandum providing certain information requested by the Board pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, including (i) expense, compliance and other information as it relates to the Advisor; (ii) performance of other accounts managed by its affiliate Prospector Partners, LLC with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by the Advisor and (iii) expense and other information for other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by the Advisor based upon comparative peer groups selected in consultation with the independent directors. Prior to voting, the directors reviewed the proposed approval of the Advisory Agreement with management and with counsel to the Corporation and reviewed a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approval. In reaching their determinations relating to approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, the directors considered all factors they believed relevant including the following:

1. the nature, extent and quality of investment, and other services to be rendered by the Advisor;

2. payments to be received by the Advisor from all sources with respect to the Funds;

3. comparative fee and expense data for the Funds and other investment companies with similar investment objectives;

4. the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of investors;

5. <br> the Advisor's policies and practices regarding allocation of portfolio transactions of the Funds, including the extent to which the Advisor may benefit from soft dollar
 arrangements;<br>

6. fall-out benefits which the Advisor and its affiliates may receive from their relationships to the Funds;

7. information about fees charged by the Advisor to other clients with similar investment objectives;

8. the professional experience and qualifications of the Funds' portfolio managers and other senior personnel of the Advisor;

9. profitability of the Advisor; and

10. the terms of the Advisory Agreement.

The directors also considered their overall confidence in the integrity and competence of the Advisor and its investment team. In their deliberations, the directors did not identify any particular information that was all- important or controlling, and each director attributed different weights to the various factors. The directors determined that the overall arrangements between the Funds and the Advisor, as provided in the Advisory Agreement, were fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, expenses expected to be incurred and such other matters as the directors considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.

The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the directors reaching their determinations to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement (including their determinations that the Advisor should be the investment adviser for the Funds, and that the fees payable to the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement continue to be appropriate) were separately discussed by the directors.

#### Nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor
The directors noted that, under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor, subject to the control of the directors, administers the Funds' business and other affairs. The directors also noted that the Advisor manages the investment of the assets of the Funds, including making purchases and sales of portfolio securities consistent with each Fund's investment objective and policies.

The directors considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, the cyclical nature of value investing, the quality of the investment research capabilities of the Advisor and the other resources it proposes to dedicate to performing services for the Funds and the Advisor's active management style. The directors also considered the portfolio managers' experience, reputation and investment philosophy noting that the Advisor's investment style and stock selection process have remained consistent even in difficult market environments. The quality of administrative and other services also were considered. The directors concluded that, overall, they continue to be satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services proposed to be provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.

#### Advisor Fees; Performance of the Fund
The directors considered the advisory fee rate paid by the Funds to the Advisor and information prepared by the Advisor based upon the peer groups selected with the input of the independent directors concerning fee rates paid by other comparable funds. The directors recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of advisory fees because there are variations in the services that are included in the fees paid by other funds, but determined that the current advisory fee rate of 1.00% was in line with other comparable funds.

The directors also considered the performance of each Fund compared to each Fund's benchmarks and peer groups. The directors noted that the Opportunity Fund outperformed its Lipper peers across the one-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception time periods. The Directors noted that the Capital Appreciation Fund outperformed the Lipper peer group average for the one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception time periods. The directors concluded that the advisory fee rate, taking into account performance and the other factors mentioned, was in line with comparable funds.

#### Other Fund Expenses
The directors also considered the total expense ratio of the Funds in comparison to the fees and expenses of the funds included in their respective peer groups. The directors noted that the expense ratios of some of the comparable funds were lower because of waivers or reimbursements by those funds' investment advisers, which in some cases were voluntary and perhaps temporary. In particular, the directors noted that the Advisor's fee waiver/expense reimbursement pursuant to the Fee Waiver and Expenses Reimbursement Agreement was contractual in nature and customary for the industry. The directors concluded that each Fund's expense ratio was reasonable. Finally, the directors noted that there may be economies of scale as the Funds grow and concluded that it may be appropriate to consider those issues in the future.

#### Advisor Profitability
The directors noted that the Advisor also provides the Funds with such office space, administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any other retained by the Funds) and

executive and other personnel as are necessary for the Funds' operations. The directors considered that the Advisor pays all of the compensation of the officers of the Company that are affiliated persons of the Advisor, pays a portion of the insurance costs and paid the cost of the organization of the Funds (without reimbursement), through its affiliate, Prospector Partners, LLC.

The directors also noted that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive, through September 30, 2023, its management fee and/or reimburse each Fund's other expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that each Fund's operating expenses do not exceed 1.25% of its average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement Agreement at the present asset levels of the Funds, the Advisor has received only a portion of its earned management fee. It was also noted that the Advisor does not receive "fall out" benefits commonly received by managers of mutual funds that provide transfer agency, distribution or printing services in-house. The directors considered the expenses of the Advisor and the services provided by the Advisor and that the Advisor expects to be cash flow positive after considering an allocation of expenses from its affiliated advisor, Prospector Partners, LLC and before considering any allocation of income to the owners of the affiliated advisor.

#### LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the "Liquidity Rule") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Funds' liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Funds' investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources. The Board approved the appointment of a Liquidity Administrator Committee, which includes representatives from Prospector Partners Asset Management, LLC, the Funds' investment adviser.

The Liquidity Administrator Committee is responsible for the program's administration and oversight and for reporting to the Board on at least an annual basis regarding the program's operation and effectiveness. The Liquidity Administrator Committee updated its assessment of the Fund's liquidity risk profile, considering additional data gathered in the 12 months ended September 30, 2022 and the adequacy and effectiveness of the liquidity risk management program's operations since its inception on June 1, 2019 (the "Review Period") in order to prepare a written report for the Board (the "Report") for consideration at its meeting held on December 6, 2022. The Report noted that during the Review Period the Funds did not experience unusual stress or disruption to its operations related to purchase and redemption activity. It further noted that during the Review Period the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. The Report concluded that (i) the Funds' liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds' liquidity risk management program had been effectively implemented during the Review Period.

#### Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal periods. "Audit services" refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the past fiscal year. "Audit-related services" refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. "Tax services" refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including reviewing the Fund's tax returns and distribution calculations. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal periods for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

(e)(1) The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services that exceed $5,000 for the registrant. All of the principal accountant's hours spent on auditing the registrant's financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Ernst & Young applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement was as follows:

(h) The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant's independence.

#### PROSPECTOR FUNDS, INC.

#### Code of Ethics

#### APPENDIX C<br> ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS PURSUANT TO<br> SECTION 406 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

#### SECTION 1: COVERED OFFICERS/PURPOSE
This Appendix C has been adopted pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") and applies solely to the principal executive, financial, and accounting officers of the Fund (each a <u>"Covered Officer").</u>

This Appendix has been adopted for the specific purpose of promoting honest and ethical conduct, compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations and accountability for adherence to the Code. Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to conflicts of interest.

The Covered Officers and the date of effectiveness of this Appendix to them are:

#### John D. Gillespie – September 28, 2007

#### Peter N. Perugini, Jr. – September 28, 2007

#### SECTION 2: CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or the officer's service to, the Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer receives improper personal benefits as a result of the Covered Officer's position with the Fund. Conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and its service providers, of which a Covered Officer is also an officer or employee. A Covered Officer may also be an officer or employee of one or more other investment companies covered by other similar codes. Such service, by itself, does not give rise to a conflict of interest.

As applicable to a Covered Officer, the following must be approved by the Chairman of the Fund's audit committee <u>("Committee"):</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) service on the board of directors or governing board of a publicly traded entity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) the receipt of any non-nominal gifts from persons or entities who have or are seeking business relationships with the Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) any ownership interest (material to the officer) in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any entities doing business with the Fund, other than its service providers or their respective affiliates; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) any direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment with the Fund's service providers or their respective affiliates.

#### SECTION 3. REQUIRED DUTIES
A Covered Officer shall:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) become familiar with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Fund;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) to the extent appropriate, consult with other officers and employees of the Fund and its service providers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) upon becoming a Covered Officer, affirm in writing to the Fund that the officer has received, read and understands the Code and, annually thereafter, affirm to the Fund that the officer has complied with the requirements of the Code.

#### SECTION 4. VIOLATIONS
A Covered Officer shall notify the Chairman of the Committee promptly if the officer knows of any violation of this Code.
