Portfolio Manager Commentary (Unaudited)
December 31, 2014

Market Review

The benchmark MSCI Golden Dragon Index traded in a channel that ranged from -8.65% to .71% year-to-date return until mid-May before turning positive for the rest of the year. The index posted strong returns until it reached a high point for the year at 12.73% year-to-date return. The market sold off, falling to a 2.95% year-to-date return by the end of September. For the final quarter of the year, it traded in a range of 2.36% to 8.85% year-to-date, with the benchmark ending the year with of total return of 7.72% for 2014.

The return in the Greater China region lagged the broad US equity markets. The government enacted stimulus efforts that help spur the 7.4% GDP growth, but it was the weakest annual growth numbers since 1990 and short of the 7.5% target. The government policymakers are trying to manage the slowing growth rate of the economy, which the IMF predicts will grow 6.8% in 2015. Low current inflation of 0.8% leaves policy makers room for additional stimulus. There remains substantial concern over falling property prices, though December new home sales showed the first year-over-year growth in a year indicate some market stabilization. The lack of transparency in the shadow banking system and the potential unrecognized bad debt held by Chinese banks are ongoing concerns. As with any developing market, the path may be volatile, but the underlying trends for China still point to continued rapid economic expansion which should translate over the long term into value for the equity markets in the Greater China region.

Fund Performance

The Shelton Greater China Fund returned 6.19% in 2014. The fund performance was highly correlated to the benchmark index throughout the year. The fund continues to be geographically well diversified across the region with exposure to China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, though the fund has maintained higher exposure to Hong Kong and China domiciled companies and less exposure to Taiwan than the benchmark index. The fund is diversified across market sectors, though the fund holdings do reflect the broad market with the majority of the assets invested in the Financial and Information Technology sectors. The fund’s Financial sector holdings were the dominant contributor to positive returns in 2014. Individual Financial stocks which performed well were Bank of China, China Taiping Insurance Holdings and China Construction Bank Corp. Non-Financial stocks which also made strong contributions included Sihaun Pharmaceutical Holdings, China Mobile, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, Huaneng Power International and Asustek Computer. Fund holdings in the Consumer Discretionary and Industrials sectors were the primary drags on portfolio return, with Sands China, China State Construction International, Haier Electronics Group and Galaxy Entertainment Group being among the largest laggards.

Long-Term Market Themes

The manager believes that China will continue to experience strong economic growth for the foreseeable future that will be reflected over the long term in the equity markets. The Greater China regions equity markets will continue to exhibit volatility, as lofty growth expectations, uncertainty due to the lack of transparency (relative to domestic US markets) and the potential influence of a very strong central government are digested through an evolving financial infrastructure. The manager will continue to maintain a portfolio diversified across the region and sectors, using the broad market as a guideline and over or under weighting by geography or sector as our views evolve. Sector concentrations as well as specific stock investments will be guided by macro events as well as the likely beneficiaries of changes in government policy. The financial services sector will continue benefit from reforms that provide access to the Chinese financial markets to both foreigners and Chinese nationals. We’ll look for opportunities to invest in companies that can provide energy in a more pollution-efficient manner. Healthcare and construction should continue to benefit from China’s continued rapid urbanization and stimulus in the form of major infrastructure projects. Though the fund’s returns were hampered by investments in the Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staple sectors, we still believe companies positioned to sell goods and services to China’s rapidly growing middle class will provide growth opportunities over the long-term.

About Your Fund’s Expenses (Unaudited)
December 31, 2014

The Fund’s advisor, Shelton Capital Management (“Shelton Capital”), believes it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions, redemption fees, and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees and other Fund expenses. Operating expenses, which are deducted from the Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund. The Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in the 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 from July 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you have paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table 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. The Fund does not charge any sales charges. There is a redemption fee of 2% for shares of the Fund purchased that are held 90 days or less from the date of purchase.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional cost, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the 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. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.

More information about the Fund’s expenses can be found in this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus.

Shelton Greater China Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2014

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Shelton Greater China Fund (the “Fund” or the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund is a Massachusetts business trust formed in July 1988 and was previously registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The Trust commenced operations in May 1989 as the R.O.C. Taiwan Fund. The R.O.C. Taiwan Fund changed its name to the Taiwan Greater China Fund on December 29, 2003 and the change became effective on the New York Stock Exchange on January 2, 2004. On October 10, 2011 the Trust registered with the SEC as a diversified, open-end management investment company and began operations as The Shelton Greater China Fund.

The 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”.

(a) Basis of Presentation — The accompanying financial statements of the Trust have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

(b) Federal Income Taxes – No provision is considered necessary for federal income taxes. The Fund intends to qualify for and elect the tax treatments applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders.

On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 was enacted to modernize several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to regulated investment companies. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years following the loss, and such carryforward is treated as a short-term capital loss in each of those years, irrespective of the character of the original loss. Net capital losses (earned in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010) (“post-2010 losses”) may be carried forward indefinitely and must retain the character of the original loss. Such post-2010 losses generally must be used by a regulated investment company before it uses any net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010. This increases the likelihood that net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010 will expire unused.

The Trust had $12,769,790 of capital loss carryforward as of December 31, 2014. The capital loss carryforward may be used to offset future capital gains generated by the Trust, and if unused, $10,930,578 of such loss will expire on December 31, 2017. Capital loss carryforward of $1,839,212 retains its original character as short term and has no expiration date.

Net capital losses incurred after October 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year. The fund deferred $244 of post-October foreign currency losses at December 31, 2014, which will be recognized in the Fund’s next taxable year.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. Temporary book to tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for certain foreign currency losses and the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. For the year ended December 31, 2014, permanent differences resulting from different book and tax accounting for net operating losses, differing treatments of the Trust’s gains from the disposition of passive foreign investment company shares and foreign currency losses were reclassified to paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income/loss and accumulated realized gain/loss as follows:

Increase of paid-in capital
 
$
36,420
 
Increase of undistributed net investment income
   
92,909
 
Increase of accumulated realized loss
   
(129,329
)

As of December 31, 2014, book-basis unrealized appreciation was $2,371,791 and tax-basis unrealized appreciation was $1,914,244. The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributed primarily to passive foreign investment companies and wash sales.

As of December 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings and accumulated gains/losses on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income
 
$
152,501
 
Accumulated losses
   
(12,770,034
)
Unrealized appreciation
   
1,914,244
 
Total accumulated earnings (losses)
 
$
(10,703,289
)

(c) Foreign Taxes — The Republic of China levies a tax at the rate of 20% on cash dividends and interest and 20% based on par value of stock dividends received by the Trust on investments in the Republic of China securities. The People’s Republic of China levies a tax at the rate of 10% on cash dividends and interest.

(d) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2011- 2013), or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2014 tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, however the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

(e) Security Transactions, Investment Income, Income and Distributions to Shareholders — Security transactions are recorded on the date the transactions are entered into (the trade date). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis as it is earned. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for, in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(f) Foreign Currency Translation — Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Trust does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

(g) Concentration — The Trust concentrates its investments in publicly traded equities issued by corporations located in People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Singapore. The portfolio involves considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. In addition, the Trust is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting the economies of those countries than a fund not concentrated in these issuers to the same extent. Since the Trust’s investment securities are primarily denominated in New Taiwan Dollars (“NT$”) and Hong Kong Dollars (“HKD”), changes in the relationships of the NT$ and the HKD to the USD may also significantly affect the value of the investments and the earnings of the Trust.

(h) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, financial highlights and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
December 31, 2014

NOTE 2 – SECURITY VALUATION
 
Common stocks represent securities that are traded on the Taiwan Stock Exchange or the Taiwan over-the-counter market or Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Securities traded on a principal securities exchange are valued at the closing price on such exchange. Short-term investments are valued at NAV or at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are, or if a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security may be, fair-valued in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees.

Fair Value Measurements — The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

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

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Trust’s securities at December 31, 2014 using the fair value hierarchy:

(b) For a detailed break-out of common stocks by major industry classification, please refer to the Portfolio of Investments.

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Trust entered into an advisory agreement with Shelton Capital (‘the Advisor”) on June 12, 2011. Pursuant to its advisory agreement with the Trust, Shelton Capital is responsible for supervising investments of the Trust. The Trust pays Shelton Capital a fee at the per annum rate of 1.25% of the Trust’s average net assets for advisory services.

The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to reimburse expenses incurred by the Trust to the extent that total annual operating expenses (excluding extraordinary expenses) exceed 1.98% of the average net assets of the Trust until January 2, 2016. Any such reimbursement is subject to the review and approval of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Reimbursement from the Advisor for the period ended December 31, 2014 is $74,912. At December 31, 2014, the cumulative unreimbursed amount paid and/or waived by the Advisor on behalf of the Fund that may be reimbursed was $274,706. The Advisor may recapture a portion of the cumulative amount no later than than December 31, 2017:

Effective October 10, 2011, Shelton Capital provides administrative services for the Trust. As compensation for administrative duties not covered by the advisory agreement, Shelton Capital received an administration fee based on net assets held by the Trust at the rate of 0.10% on the first $500 million, 0.08% on the next $500 million, and 0.06% on assets over $1 billion.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also affiliated with Shelton Capital. Teresa K. Axelson has served as the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) of the Trust since November 2011. Ms. Axelson is also employed by Shelton Capital, the Advisor and Administrator to the Trust. The Trust is responsible for the portion of her salary allocated to her duties as the CCO of the Trust and Shelton Capital was reimbursed by the Trust for this portion of her salary.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
For the period ended December 31, 2014, aggregate purchases and sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, were $555,011 and $2,252,282 respectively.

NOTE 5 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 2014, FASB issued ASU No 2014-11, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860), Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures. The ASU changes the accounting for certain repurchase agreements and expands disclosure requirements related to repurchase agreements, securities lending, repurchase-to-maturity and similar transactions. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.

NOTE 6 - TAX CHARACTER
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund as a whole.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Shelton Greater China Fund
San Francisco, California

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Shelton Greater China Fund (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2014 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The financial highlights for the year ended December 31, 2010 have been audited by other auditors, whose opinion dated February 28, 2011 expressed an unqualified opinion on such financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmations of securities owned as of December 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Shelton Greater China Fund as of December 31, 2014, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
