EMPOWER FUNDS, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Empower Funds, a Maryland corporation, was organized on December 7, 1981 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. Empower Funds presently consists of forty-four funds. Interests in the Funds are included herein. Each Fund is non-diversified as defined in the 1940 Act. The Funds are available as an investment option to insurance company separate accounts for certain variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, to individual retirement account custodians or trustees, to plan sponsors of qualified retirement plans, and to college savings programs.
Investment Objectives
Empower Lifetime 2015 Fund, Empower Lifetime 2020 Fund, Empower Lifetime 2025 Fund - seeks income and secondarily, capital growth.
Empower Lifetime 2030 Fund - seeks capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation. After 2030, the Fund seeks income and secondarily, capital growth.
Empower Lifetime 2035 Fund - seeks capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation. After 2035, the Fund seeks income and secondarily, capital growth.
Empower Lifetime 2040 Fund - seeks capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation. After 2040, the Fund seeks income and secondarily, capital growth.
Empower Lifetime 2045 Fund - seeks capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation. After 2045, the Fund seeks income and secondarily, capital growth.
Empower Lifetime 2050 Fund - seeks capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation. After 2050, the Fund seeks income and secondarily, capital growth.
Empower Lifetime 2055 Fund - seeks capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation. After 2055, the Fund seeks income and secondarily, capital growth.
Empower Lifetime 2060 Fund - seeks capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation. After 2060, the Fund seeks income and secondarily, capital growth.
Empower Lifetime 2065 Fund - seeks capital appreciation and income consistent with its current asset allocation. After 2065, the Fund seeks income and secondarily, capital growth.
The Funds each offer three share classes, referred to as Investor Class, Service Class and Institutional Class shares. All shares of each Fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the net assets of the class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against operations of that class.
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is also 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 following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Funds.

Semi-Annual Report - June 30, 2025

 

Security Valuation
The Board of Directors of Empower Funds (the "Board") has adopted policies and procedures for the valuation of each Fund's securities and assets, and has appointed the Fair Value Pricing Committee of the Funds' investment adviser, Empower Capital Management, LLC ("ECM"), to complete valuation determinations under those policies and procedures. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board approved ECM as the Funds' valuation designee to make all fair value determinations with respect to the Funds' investments, subject to oversight by the Board.
Investments in shares of the underlying mutual funds are valued at the net asset value ("NAV") as reported by the underlying mutual fund, which may be obtained from pricing services or other pricing sources. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodologies. The NAV of each class of a Fund's shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to each class of shares of the Fund by the number of issued and outstanding shares of each class of the Fund on each valuation date.
Investments in fixed interest contracts issued by Empower Annuity Insurance Company of America ("Empower of America Contract") are valued at the amount of net deposits plus accrued interest, determined on a daily basis. The Empower of America Contract is backed by the general account of Empower Annuity Insurance Company of America ("Empower of America").
The Funds classify their valuations into three levels based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of each Fund’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. Classification is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly.  These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets. 
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are not available. Unobservable inputs reflect a Fund’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.
As of June 30, 2025, each Fund’s investments in the underlying mutual funds are valued using Level 1 inputs. Each Fund’s investment in the Empower of America Contract is valued using Level 2 inputs. More information regarding each Fund’s sector classifications are included in the Schedule of Investments.
Fund-of-Funds Structure Risk
Since each Fund invests directly in underlying funds, all risks associated with the eligible underlying funds apply to each Fund. To the extent each Fund invests more of its assets in one underlying fund than another, each Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that underlying fund.
Security Transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).  Realized gains and losses from investments sold are determined on a specific lot selection.  Dividend income and realized gain distributions from underlying funds are accrued as of the ex-dividend date. Interest on the Empower of America Contract is accrued daily.
Federal Income Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders
Each Fund intends to comply with provisions under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carry forwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.  Each Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on each Fund's tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. State tax returns may remain open for an additional fiscal year.

Semi-Annual Report - June 30, 2025

 

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income of a Fund, if any, are declared and paid annually.  Capital gain distributions of a Fund, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.  Distributions are reinvested in additional shares of a Fund at NAV and are declared separately for each class. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) for federal income tax purposes may differ from those reported on the financial statements because of temporary and permanent book-tax basis differences. Book-tax differences may include but are not limited to the following: wash sales and distribution adjustments.
The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes as of June 30, 2025 were as follows:

Segment Reporting
The ECM Board of Managers acts as the Funds’ chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and is responsible for assessing performance and allocating resources with respect to the Funds. The CODM has concluded that each of the Funds operates as a single operating segment based on the fact that each has a single investment strategy as disclosed in its prospectus, against which the CODM assesses the performance, and it is the level at which discrete financial information is available. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within each of the Funds’ financial statements.
2.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT & OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Empower Funds have entered into an investment advisory agreement with, ECM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Empower of America. As compensation for its services to Empower Funds, ECM receives monthly compensation at the annual rate of 0.12% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. The management fee encompasses fund operation expenses except for shareholder services fees and distribution fees. Each Fund will also bear the indirect expense of the underlying investments. Because the underlying funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Funds may own different proportions of underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Funds will vary. ECM has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee by 0.35% of the amount each Fund has allocated to the Empower of America Contract. The amount waived, if any, is reflected in the Statement of Operations.
Empower Funds entered into a shareholder services agreement with Empower Retirement, LLC ("Empower"), an affiliate of ECM and subsidiary of Empower of America.  Pursuant to the shareholder services agreement, Empower provides various recordkeeping, administrative and shareholder services to shareholders and receives from the Investor Class and Service Class of each Fund a fee equal to 0.35% of the average daily net asset value of the applicable share class.
Empower Financial Services, Inc. (the "Distributor"), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Empower of America and the principal underwriter to distribute and market the Funds. The Funds have entered into a plan of distribution which provides for compensation for distribution of Service Class shares and for providing or arranging for the provision of services to Service Class shareholders.  The distribution plan provides for a maximum 12b-1 fee equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. The Distributor has agreed to voluntarily waive all 12b-1 fees attributable to Service Class shares purchased by ECM in consideration for ECM providing initial capital to the Funds.

Semi-Annual Report - June 30, 2025

 

Certain officers of Empower Funds are also directors and/or officers of Empower of America or its subsidiaries. No officer or interested director of Empower Funds receives any compensation directly from Empower Funds. The total compensation paid to the independent directors with respect to all forty-four funds for which they serve as directors was $833,000 for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2025.
Transactions with Affiliates
Each Fund may invest in the Empower of America Contract pursuant to exemptive relief issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Empower of America Contract has a stable principal value and accrues a fixed rate of interest, which is reflected in the daily valuation of the Funds. Empower of America calculates the interest rate in the same way it calculates guaranteed interest rates for similar contracts (on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis). As a result of Empower of America being an affiliated entity, the Funds are exposed to the risk of unanticipated industry conditions as well as risks specific to a single corporation. If Empower of America were to become insolvent, the Empower of America Contract would be settled commensurate with other policy holder obligations.
The amounts deposited will accrue interest at a declared rate of interest, adjustable on a calendar quarter or other periodic basis, guaranteed to be no less than 1.00%. The investment in the Empower of America Contract may be terminated by Empower of America or the Funds upon 7 days prior written notice. The guaranteed interest rate paid will be at least as favorable as the guaranteed interest rate paid on other similar products issued by Empower of America.
The following tables are a summary of the transactions for each underlying investment during the period ended June 30, 2025, in which the issuer was an affiliate of a Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Empower Funds, Inc. (“Empower Funds”), including the Directors who are not interested persons of Empower Funds (the “Independent Directors”), at a meeting held on April 17, 2025 (the “April Board Meeting”), unanimously approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Empower Capital Management, LLC (“ECM”) and Empower Funds, on behalf of each of the following series of Empower Funds: (i) Empower Lifetime 2015 Fund; (ii); Empower Lifetime 2020 Fund; (iii) Empower Lifetime 2025 Fund; (iv) Empower Lifetime 2030 Fund; (v) Empower Lifetime 2035 Fund; (vi) Empower Lifetime 2040 Fund; (vii) Empower Lifetime 2045 Fund; (viii) Empower Lifetime 2050 Fund; (ix) Empower Lifetime 2055 Fund; (x) Empower Lifetime 2060 Fund; and (xi) Empower Lifetime 2065 Fund (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”).
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, ECM acts as investment adviser and, subject to oversight by the Board, directs the investments of each of the Funds in accordance with its investment objectives, policies and limitations. ECM also provides, subject to oversight by the Board, the management and administrative services necessary for the Funds’ operation.
On March 31, 2025 (the “March Meeting”), the Independent Directors met separately with independent legal counsel in advance of the April Board Meeting to evaluate information encompassing a wide variety of topics furnished by ECM in connection with the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement, and reviewed, among other things, comparative information on each Fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses, including data prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), an independent provider of investment company data. Representatives of Broadridge met with the Independent Directors at the March Meeting to review and discuss Broadridge’s peer group selection methodology. In addition, at the March Meeting, the Independent Directors met separately with representatives of an independent provider of mutual fund advisory contract renewal consulting services (the “Independent Consultant”) to review comparative information regarding each Fund’s investment performance, fees and expenses, as well as enterprise profitability data. Additionally, the Independent Directors considered supplemental information provided in response to their requests made following the March Meeting. The Independent Directors further discussed continuation of the Advisory Agreement separately with independent legal counsel, including at a separate meeting of the Independent Directors convened immediately prior to the April Board Meeting and at the April Board Meeting. The Independent Directors weighed and considered the information provided in light of their substantial accumulated experience in governing the Funds and other series of Empower Funds. Although the Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreement as part of its multi-faceted annual review process of agreements across Empower Funds, the Board’s approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis.
In approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered such information as the Board deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreement. The Board noted that performance information is provided to the Board on an ongoing basis at regular Board meetings held throughout the year. Furthermore, at each of its

 

meetings, the Board covers an extensive agenda of topics and materials and considers factors that are relevant to its annual consideration of advisory agreements for Empower Funds, including the services and support provided to Empower Funds, including the Funds and their shareholders. Additionally, the Board recognized that its evaluation process is evolutionary and that the factors considered and emphasis placed on relevant factors may change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.
In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor as being determinative. Rather, the Board’s approval was based on each Director’s business judgment after a comprehensive consideration of the information as a whole. Individual Directors may have weighed certain factors differently and assigned varying degrees of materiality to information considered by the Board. The Independent Directors were assisted throughout the evaluation process by independent legal counsel.
Based upon its review of the Advisory Agreement and the information provided to it, the Board concluded that the Advisory Agreement was reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The principal factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors’ determinations to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement are discussed below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided and to be provided to the Funds by ECM. Among other things, the Board considered ECM’s organizational history and ownership, personnel, experience, resources and performance track record, its ability to provide or obtain such services as may be necessary in managing, acquiring and disposing of investments on behalf of the Funds, and its ability to provide research and to obtain and evaluate the economic, statistical and financial data relevant to the investment policies of the Funds. With respect to personnel, the Board noted that ECM’s affiliate, Empower Retirement, LLC (“Empower”) provides employees, including various management professionals, who provide services on behalf of ECM - which does not have its own employees - pursuant to an intercompany agreement between ECM and Empower. (Each of Empower and ECM is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Empower Annuity Insurance Company of America (“Empower of America”). References herein to personnel, services, activities and resources of ECM should be understood generally as including Empower.)
The Board reviewed the qualifications, education, experience, tenure and responsibilities of the senior personnel serving the Funds and the portfolio management team responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds, as well as the organization’s efforts to attract, retain and motivate capable personnel to serve the Funds. The Board also considered ECM’s reputation for management of its investment strategies and its decision-making process regarding asset allocation and investments.
In addition, the Board considered ECM’s overall financial condition and ability to carry out its obligations to the Funds, its technical resources and operational capabilities, including for investment administration functions, fund accounting services and financial reporting, as well as the controls, internal audit reviews and third-party assessments relating to such operations and services. Also considered by the Board was ECM’s risk management framework, cybersecurity program and controls relating to enterprise resiliency, noting prior discussions with and presentations by ECM’s Chief Information Security Officer. The Board also took into account various organizational developments, including integration initiatives relating to recent acquisitions, as well as various system enhancements, such as the modernization of a proprietary reconciliation platform and similar efforts to achieve operational efficiencies.
As part of its assessment of the nature, extent and quality of services, the Board evaluated information regarding ECM’s regulatory and compliance environment and compliance policies and procedures. The Board considered ECM’s compliance program resources and history, reports from the Chief Compliance Officer about ECM’s oversight of and compliance with applicable laws and regulations and compliance-related resources devoted by ECM in support of the Funds’ obligations pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board also considered ECM’s efforts generally to ensure that third-party programs and vendors used to service the Funds - including for purposes of regulatory compliance support - are monitored effectively.
Consideration also was given to the fact that the Board meets with representatives of ECM each year to discuss portfolio management strategies and performance. Additionally, the quality of ECM’s communications with the Board, as well as ECM’s responsiveness to the Board, were taken into account. Also considered was ECM’s response to market volatility, changing circumstances in the mutual fund industry and investor sentiment, regulatory developments, economic indicators,

 

monetary and fiscal policy developments and emerging issues. In this regard, the Board received information on the impacts of macroeconomic and geopolitical developments on ECM generally and the Funds, and considered how monitoring and analysis of such developments informs ECM’s performance of its services to the Funds.
The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by ECM.
Investment Performance
The Board received and considered information regarding the investment performance of each Fund. The Board reviewed performance information for the Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of each Fund as compared against a Morningstar target date index and a “performance universe” of peer funds compiled by Broadridge, based on Lipper fund classification schema. This performance data generally included, among other things, annualized returns for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2024 with respect to the Investor Class, and, for the Institutional Class, annualized returns for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024.
In reviewing the available performance data, the Board noted that the following Funds were launched on April 28, 2016: (i) Empower Lifetime 2020 Fund; (ii) Empower Lifetime 2030 Fund; (iii) Empower Lifetime 2040 Fund; and (iv) Empower Lifetime 2050 Fund. In addition, the Board noted that Empower Lifetime 2060 Fund was launched on May 1, 2019. Similarly, the Board noted that Empower Lifetime 2065 Fund was launched on January 10, 2025 and does not have a full year of performance.
In evaluating each Fund’s investment performance, the Board considered each Fund’s performance relative to the applicable Morningstar index as well as the Fund’s quintile ranking within its performance universe - with the first quintile being the best performers and the fifth quintile being the worst performers - and made the following observations:
Empower Lifetime 2015 Fund: The annualized returns of the Investor Class for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2024 were in the fourth, third, third and fourth quintiles, respectively, of its performance universe, which exceeded the performance universe median for the five-year period ended December 31, 2024, equaled the performance universe median for the three-year period ended December 31, 2024 and had specific rankings in the 66th percentile for the one- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2024. The annualized returns of the Institutional Class exceeded its performance universe median for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024, ranking in the third, second and second quintiles of its performance universe for each such period. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar index for each period reviewed with the exception of the one-year period ended December 31, 2024 and the Investor Class for the ten-year period, which underperformed the index by one basis point for such period.
Empower Lifetime 2020 Fund: The annualized returns of the Investor Class were in the fifth, third and third quintiles of its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024, respectively, which exceeded the performance universe median for the five-year period and equaled the performance universe median for the three-year period ended December 31, 2024. As to the Institutional Class, the annualized returns were in the third, second and second quintiles of its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024, respectively, exceeding its performance universe median for the three- and five-year periods and specifically ranking in the 60th percentile for the one-year period. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar index for each period reviewed with the exception of the one-year period ended December 31, 2024.
Empower Lifetime 2025 Fund: For the Investor Class, the annualized returns were in the fifth, third, third and third quintiles of its performance universe for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2024, respectively, which exceeded the performance universe median for the ten-year period and had specific performance universe rankings in the 51st and 52nd percentiles for the three- and five-year periods, respectively. As to the Institutional Class, the annualized returns were in the fourth, second and second quintiles of its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024, exceeding its performance universe median for the three- and five-year periods and specifically ranking in the 65th percentile of its performance universe for the one-year period. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar index for each period reviewed with the exception of the one-year period ended December 31, 2024.
Empower Lifetime 2030 Fund: The annualized returns of the Fund’s Investor Class ranked in the fifth, fourth and fourth quintiles of its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and ranked specifically in the 62nd and 66th percentiles for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024, respectively. For the Institutional Class, the annualized returns ranked in the fourth, third and third quintiles of its performance

 

universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024, respectively, which exceeded the performance universe median for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar index for each period reviewed with the exception of the one-year period ended December 31, 2024.
Empower Lifetime 2035 Fund: The annualized returns of the Investor Class for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2024 were in the fifth quintile, with the exception of the ten-year period, which returns were in the fourth quintile. The annualized returns of the Institutional Class for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024 were in the fifth, fourth and fourth quintiles, and specifically ranked in the 63rd and 68th percentiles for the three- and five-year periods, respectively. The Fund outperformed the Morningstar index for each period reviewed with the exception of the one-year period ended December 31, 2024 and the ten-year period for the Investor Class.
Empower Lifetime 2040 Fund: The annualized returns of the Investor Class were in the fifth quintile for each period reviewed. As to the Institutional Class, the annualized returns were in the fifth, fourth and fourth quintiles of its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Although the Investor Class underperformed the Morningstar index for each period reviewed, the Institutional Class outperformed the Morningstar index for the three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024 and underperformed the index for the one-year period ended December 31, 2024.
Empower Lifetime 2045 Fund: The annualized returns of the Investor Class for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2024 were in the fifth quintile, with the exception of the ten-year period, which returns were in the fourth quintile. For the Institutional Class, the annualized returns were in the fifth quintile of its performance universe for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2024. The Fund underperformed the Morningstar index for each period reviewed, with the exception of the Institutional Class for the five-year period ended December 31, 2024.
Empower Lifetime 2050 Fund: The annualized returns for each class were in the fifth quintile of its respective performance universe for each period reviewed. The Fund underperformed the Morningstar index for each period reviewed.
Empower Lifetime 2055 Fund: The annualized returns for each class were in the fifth quintile of its respective performance universe for each period reviewed. The Fund underperformed the Morningstar index for each period reviewed.
Empower Lifetime 2060 Fund: The annualized returns for each class were in the fifth quintile of its respective performance universe for each period reviewed. The Fund underperformed the Morningstar index for each period reviewed.
In evaluating the comparative performance data, the Board considered that the Funds are “target date” funds, which have an asset allocation strategy designed to meet certain investment goals based on an investor’s investment horizon (such as projected retirement date) and personal objectives. As the Funds approach their respective target year (i.e., the presumed retirement year for the investor), they become more conservative as demonstrated by their declining allocation to equities. Thus, the Board took into account ECM’s glide path construction and asset allocation processes, noting that a third party was responsible for the glide path construction prior to 2024, as well as the changes ECM has made or is in the process of making to the Funds’ glide paths, asset allocations and underlying funds that are designed to improve performance. Also relevant to the Board’s evaluation was ECM’s assessment that each Fund meets expectations with respect to its investment objective. Moreover, the Board considered its discussions of the Funds’ overall performance with ECM representatives, including at its quarterly Board meetings and at the April Board Meeting.
The Board determined that it was satisfied with the explanations for, oversight of and information provided regarding each Fund’s investment performance.
Costs and Profitability
The Board considered the costs of services provided by ECM from its relationship with the Funds. With respect to the costs of services, the Board considered the unified investment management fee structure of the Funds and the level of the investment management fees payable by the Funds. In addition, the Board noted that ECM has contractually agreed, for a one-year renewable term, through April 30, 2026, to reduce its management fee by a stated amount with respect to each Fund’s investment in a fixed income contract issued and guaranteed by ECM’s parent company, Empower of America.
In light of the Funds’ unified investment management fee structure, as well as each Fund’s investment strategy of investing in a professionally selected mix of underlying funds, the Board considered each Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio, including underlying fund expenses, in comparison to the total annual operating expense ratios of peer groups of funds

 

managed by other investment advisers, as determined independently by Broadridge, based on Lipper fund classification schema. In addition, the Board considered each Fund’s total expense ratio in comparison to the median expense ratios of all funds in the peer groups. In assessing the comparative expense data, the Board noted that it received a description of the methodology Broadridge used to determine the similarity of each Fund to the funds included in its peer group.
The Board made the following observations regarding each Fund’s total annual operating expense ratio, including underlying fund expenses, with respect to the quintile ranking of such expense ratio within the peer group (with the first quintile being the lowest expenses and the fifth quintile being the highest expenses):
Empower Lifetime 2015 Fund: The total annual operating expense ratio, including underlying fund expenses, for each class of the Fund was above its respective peer group median and ranked in the fourth quintile of its respective peer group.
Empower Lifetime 2020 Fund: The total annual operating expense ratio, including underlying fund expenses, for each class of the Fund was above its respective peer group median and ranked in the fifth and fourth quintiles for the Investor Class and Institutional Class, respectively.
Empower Lifetime 2045 Fund and Empower Lifetime 2055 Fund: The total annual operating expense ratio, including underlying fund expenses, for each class of the Fund was above its respective peer group median and ranked in the fourth and fifth quintiles for the Investor Class and Institutional Class, respectively.
Empower Lifetime 2065 Fund: The total annual operating expense ratio, including underlying fund expenses, for each class of the Fund ranked in the fourth quintile of its respective peer group.
Empower Lifetime 2025 Fund, Empower Lifetime 2030 Fund, Empower Lifetime 2035 Fund, Empower Lifetime 2040 Fund, Empower Lifetime 2050 Fund and Empower Lifetime 2060 Fund: The total annual operating expense ratio, including underlying fund expenses, for the Investor Class, equaled its peer group median and ranked in the third quintile of its peer group. The total annual operating expense ratio, including underlying fund expenses, for the Institutional Class ranked in the fifth quintile of its peer group.
As part of its comprehensive evaluation, the Board also reviewed a report from the Independent Consultant assessing expenses in the context of performance and other factors. Moreover, the Board took into account the additional reviews performed by and the related commentary provided by ECM regarding the Funds. In this connection, the Board noted the factors identified by ECM as contributing to the Funds’ rankings, including the use of internally-managed or sub-advised strategies, the allocation to actively managed strategies opposite passively managed strategies, the scale of underlying funds and the share class structure, and that, after considering differences among peer funds with respect to the foregoing, ECM believes that each Fund’s total expense ratio is reasonable. In addition to considering all of the foregoing, the Board placed particular importance on the Independent Consultant’s overall conclusion that each Fund’s management fees and expenses are reasonable relative to the quality of services provided, expenses of similar funds and the profitability of ECM.
In addition, the Board received information regarding the fees charged by ECM to separate accounts and other products managed by ECM and noted that the Funds may have higher advisory fees than the separate accounts and other products managed by ECM because of the increased regulatory and compliance requirements of the Funds and the differences in the range of services provided to the Funds and to such other clients.
The Board further considered the overall financial soundness of ECM and the profits estimated to have been realized by ECM and its affiliates. The Board reviewed the financial statements and profitability information from ECM.
With respect to ECM’s profitability information, the Board considered that there is no recognized standard or uniform methodology for determining profitability for this purpose. Furthermore, the Board noted that there are limitations inherent in allocating costs and calculating profitability for an organization such as ECM, and that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability between advisers because comparative information is not generally publicly available. The Board also reviewed a report from the Independent Consultant comparing pre-tax profitability margins for the latest available fiscal year for certain publicly-traded investment management and financial services firms, as compared to ECM’s overall profits, as calculated by the Independent Consultant. The Board also compared ECM’s overall pre-tax profitability margin, as calculated by ECM, to those of the publicly-traded firms in the Independent Consultant’s report. The Board considered that, while ECM’s overall profitability is not unreasonable, profitability information is affected by numerous factors, including the adviser’s organization, capital structure and cost of capital, the types of products it manages, its mix of businesses and operating scale and the adviser’s assumptions regarding allocations of revenue and expenses, including differing accounting approaches among

 

organizations. In addition, with respect to Empower Lifetime 2020 Fund and Empower Lifetime 2060 Fund in particular, the Board noted that ECM reported a negative margin associated with its management of each of such Funds. The Board further noted that no profitability information was provided for Empower Lifetime 2065 Fund, which launched on January 10, 2025.
Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the costs of the services provided and, as applicable, the profits estimated to have been realized by ECM and its affiliates were not unreasonable in relation to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided.
Economies of Scale
The Board received and considered information about the potential for ECM to experience economies of scale in the provision of services to the Funds and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. In evaluating economies of scale, the Board considered, among other things, the current level of management fees payable by each Fund, and whether those fees include breakpoints, as well as comparative fee information, the profitability and financial condition of ECM and the current level of Fund assets. Although there are no contractual breakpoints in each Fund’s management fee schedule, the Board noted that ECM shares potential economies of scale from its business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver arrangements, services that benefit shareholders and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to each Fund and its shareholders. The Board also noted that under each Fund’s unified investment management fee structure ECM, and not the Fund, would be responsible for paying almost all of the expenses necessary to service the Fund, including those of other service providers, and consequently, ECM bears the risk of these expenses increasing.
Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that ECM’s arrangements with respect to each Fund constituted a reasonable approach to sharing potential economies of scale with the Fund and its shareholders.
Other Factors
The Board received and considered information regarding ancillary benefits derived or to be derived by ECM from its relationship with the Funds as part of the total mix of information evaluated by the Board.
The Board noted where services were provided to the Funds by affiliates of ECM, including, in particular, the various recordkeeping, administrative and shareholder services provided by Empower pursuant to a shareholder services agreement (the “Shareholder Services Agreement”). The Board considered its assessment, as part of the Board’s annual contract review process, of the services provided by and fees paid under the Shareholder Services Agreement - an assessment that included, among other things, reviews of service metrics data, the nature and quality of shareholder services, fees retained by Empower and those paid to third-party providers and Empower’s estimated profitability on shareholder services fees from the Funds.
In addition to the foregoing arrangements, the Board took into account the fact that, as noted above, each Fund invests in a fixed income contract issued and guaranteed by Empower of America. The Board also considered that the Funds are used as a funding vehicle under variable life and annuity contracts offered by insurance companies affiliated with ECM and as a funding vehicle under retirement plans for which affiliates of ECM may provide various retirement plan services. Additionally, the Board considered the extent to which Empower of America and/or its affiliated insurance companies may receive benefits under the federal income tax laws with respect to tax deductions and credits, and evaluated information provided by ECM in this regard.
The Board concluded that the Funds’ management fees were reasonable, taking into account any ancillary benefits derived by ECM or its affiliates.
Conclusion
Based upon all the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreement continue to be reasonable and that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of each Fund.
