Metropolitan West Funds

 

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

 

As we wrote in last September’s Semi-Annual Report, the capital market environment in 2002 was characterized by considerable volatility — much of it unpleasantly to the downside. The equity markets, already reeling from down years in 2000 and 2001, had fallen close to another 30% through September. Wide swaths of the corporate bond market came under similar pressure, reflecting a dramatic, unprecedented, and, in our view, irrational increase in risk premiums, pushing prices down. With pessimism prevailing, U.S. Treasury and mortgage-backed issues rallied higher, as investors fled for what were viewed as safer (at least temporarily) investment venues. This “flight-to-safety” continued apace through the third quarter of 2002, notwithstanding the prospect that “safe havens” would be unlikely to provide the necessary returns to meet long-term investment objectives. In positioning portfolios with a long-term value orientation, the Funds’ advisor (“MWAM”) found the investment conditions for most of 2002 especially challenging, with returns falling behind the various market indexes against which the Funds are managed. Naturally, as shareholders in the Funds, we shared in the disappointment of this underperformance, but looked forward to normalization of market conditions that would reward the disciplined construction and long-term orientation of the Funds’ portfolios.

 

Starting in early October, the environment for corporate bonds began to improve, as companies that had faced a rash of summer rating agency downgrades and attendant liquidity pressures moved forward with efforts of balance sheet repair. Assets were sold to reduce debt levels and expenses were pared to improve cash flow, resulting in an improved tenor in lending conditions. Given the improvement, investors and banks have signaled a greater willingness to invest in the debt of corporations and, in doing so, availed themselves to yields considerably higher than those of Treasury issues, which remain near multi-decade lows. Consequently, corporate bond prices have moved higher in general, with several of last summer’s most dislocated credits retracing a substantial portion of their decline. This move toward the realignment of pricing with fundamental value is not surprising, though admittedly the degree of divergence experienced last year most certainly was.

 

Within the bond market, investment returns captured the upturn in sentiment. Credits that saw their ratings downgraded from the ranks of investment grade last year, known as “fallen angels”, have returned approximately 22% in the last six months, after inexplicably dropping by an equity-like 30% in the first three quarters of 2002. High yield bonds have provided a 14% return in the last six months. By contrast, the 10-year Treasury Note has delivered a 0.5% return over the same period, on the heels of a 17% gain the preceding six months. Even after the relative underperformance of the most recent six months, the 10-year Treasury Note still holds the promise of an unspectacular 3.8% yield, a hint that value in the fixed income market lies somewhere other than the U.S. Treasury auction.

 

Fund Results

While the Fund’s one-year performance continues to reflect the challenges of 2002, shareholders that remained resolute in their investment horizons benefited from the rehabilitation in performance of several corporate names that have seen some price recovery from last summer’s unprecedented lows. Many of these credits belonged to companies that provide essential services to the economy, e.g., telecommunications, energy, and characteristically have substantial collateral backing in the form of quantifiable “hard” assets that can be sold or borrowed against to raise cash. As these companies demonstrated this capacity to the market over the last six months, much, though not yet all, of the skepticism has subsided. Investment returns to the Funds through March 31, 2003, net of fees, were as follows:

The Market Ahead

From an economic perspective, uncertainty has persisted over the past several months as war fears loomed. Manufacturing data suggested that the buildup to war was giving pause to business investment, while consumer confidence ebbed to a 10-year low. Countering the consumer sentiment was the continued resilience of the housing market, which has buoyed the economy on the continued availability of mortgage interest rates at generational lows. GDP growth, though not especially robust over the last two quarters, has been decidedly positive, easing fears of a double dip into recession.

 

MWAM maintains an ongoing expectation for an increased pace of economic growth in response to the accommodative Fed policy and fiscal stimulus. Indicative of the level of the aggressive fiscal impetus is a federal budget that has gone from a $300 billion surplus in January 2001 to a projected $350 billion deficit in the current fiscal year. From a sector perspective, MWAM remains constructive on the spread sectors, namely corporate and asset-backed securities that continue to present attractive yield premiums versus comparable Treasury issues. Within the MBS and ABS sectors, MWAM’s focus remains on solid structural features (e.g., seasoned collateral, Alt-A loans, low loan balance mortgages) that mitigate the impact of prepayment variability, especially in the current refinancing environment. Importantly, many of these structures offer similar protection, i.e., less negative convexity, that can prove beneficial across both rapidly prepaying and duration extending environments. While recognizing that many corporate issues have experienced substantial recovery in recent months, particularly in the telecom and energy industries, opportunity remains across a variety of industries in which fundamental strength remains ahead of market appreciation. We are optimistic that continued pricing recovery on these credits, along with a normalization, i.e., an increase, in Treasury yields will find the Funds with further improvement in relative performance in the next several months. From our perspective, those Treasury yields, at lows not visited since the Eisenhower administration, represent little value, given the risk of interest rate increases. In effecting the Treasury exposure of the Funds, we have utilized inflation-indexed securities that offer protection in the event of a rise in consumer prices. Given the economy’s abundant stimulus, we believe that the possibility is substantive.

 

A Consistent Long-Term Value Orientation

With a long-term view, the investment team continues to target consistent outperformance of the Funds’ benchmarks over

a market cycle by diversifying the sources of value added in the portfolios. Those value-added strategies include (1) duration management, (2) yield curve positioning, (3) sector allocation, (4) security selection, and (5) opportunistic execution. Although the past year presented a challenging environment with respect to performance relative to Fund benchmarks, we look forward to delivering the long-term returns that are consistent with our expectations as shareholders.

 

Finally, in a development that combines our core capabilities with opportunity in the fixed income market, on September 30, 2002, we were pleased to expand the Fund offerings to include the Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund. Co-managed by Mark Unferth and Jeff Koch, this well-diversified fund holds approximately 100 positions, from among three “tiers” of high yield exposure, including the securities of (1) longstanding and stable “BB” issuers accustomed to operating leveraged balance sheets, (2) companies downgraded from the ranks of investment grade issuers, and (3) stressed or distressed companies whose debt trades on a dollar, rather than a spread, basis. We welcome the shareholders who have made the High Yield Fund their first investment in the Funds.

Past Performance is no guarantee of future results. Share prices will fluctuate, and you may have a gain or loss when you redeem shares. Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an unmanaged index assumes no transactions costs, taxes, management fees, or other expenses. A direct investment in an index is not possible. U.S. Treasury bonds, unlike mutual funds, are insured direct obligations of the U.S. Government that offer a fixed rate of return when held to maturity. Quality ratings, such as “BB,” refer to the credit risk of individual securities, and not to the Fund. Investment by the Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2003

 

1.   SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION

 

The Metropolitan West Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust on December 9, 1996 and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Metropolitan West Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), a registered investment adviser, provides the Funds with investment management services. The Trust currently consists of five separate portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Fund (the “Total Return Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund (the “Low Duration Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund (the “Intermediate Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund (the “High Yield Bond Fund”), and Metropolitan West AlphaTrak 500 Fund (the “AlphaTrak 500 Fund”). The Total Return Bond Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund commenced investment operations on March 31, 1997. Effective March 31, 2000, the Low Duration Bond Fund and the Total Return Bond Fund offered two classes of shares: Class M (existing shares) and Class I shares. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund commenced investment operations on June 29, 1998. The Intermediate Bond Fund – Class I commenced operations on June 28, 2002. The High Yield Bond Fund – Class M commenced operations on September 30, 2002. The High Yield Bond Fund – Class I commenced operations on April 1, 2003 and is not included in this report.

 

The Total Return Bond Fund seeks to maximize long-term total return. This Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of two to eight years. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from two to fifteen years.

 

The Low Duration Bond Fund seeks to maximize current income, consistent with preservation of capital. Capital appreciation is a secondary consideration of the Fund. This Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of up to three years. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from one to five years.

 

The AlphaTrak 500 Fund seeks to achieve a total return that exceeds the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”). The Fund invests in S&P 500 Index futures contracts backed by a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of up to three years. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from one to five years.

 

The Intermediate Bond Fund seeks to maximize current income, consistent with preservation of capital. This Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of one to six years. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from three to seven years.

 

The High Yield Bond Fund seeks to maximize long-term total return consistent with preservation of capital. This Fund invests in a portfolio of high yield fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of two to eight years. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in one or more particular issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average maturity is expected to range from two to fifteen years.

 

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:

 

Security Valuation:

Fixed-income securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the average of the latest bid and asked prices. However, securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. The Funds receive pricing information from independent pricing vendors approved by the Board of Trustees. The Funds also use a benchmark pricing system to the extent vendor’s prices for their securities are either inaccurate (such as when the reported prices are different from recent known market transactions) or are not available from another pricing source. For a security priced using this system, the Adviser, in consultation with a market maker, initially selects a proxy comprised of a relevant security (i.e. U.S. Treasury Note) or benchmark (i.e. LIBOR) and a multiplier or divisor that best reflects changes in the market value of the security. The value of the security changes daily based on changes to the market price of the assigned proxy. Once each month, or more frequently if deemed

 

 


 

40


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

appropriate by the Adviser, the Adviser obtains from one or more dealers an independent review of prices produced by the benchmark system as well as a review of the benchmark selected to adjust the price. The benchmark pricing system is continuously reviewed by the Adviser and implemented according to the pricing policy reviewed by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities which mature in less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost (unless the Board of Trustees determines that this method does not represent fair value). S&P 500 futures contracts are valued at the first sale price after 4 p.m. EST on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. All other futures contracts are valued at the official settlement price of the exchange which it is traded. Equity securities, including depository receipts, are valued at the last reported sale price or the market’s closing price on the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the average of the bid and asked prices. In cases where equity securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange or market determined by the Adviser to be the broadest and most representative market, which may be either a securities exchange or the over-the-counter market. Securities and other assets that cannot be valued as described above will be valued at their fair value as determined by the Adviser under guidelines established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board of Trustees.

 

Securities Transactions and Investment Income:

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the first-in first-out method for both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued daily. Discounts and premiums on securities are amortized using the interest method.

 

Organization Costs:

For the AlphaTrak 500 Fund, organization costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years starting from the date of commencement of operations.

 

Distributions to Shareholders:

The Funds (except the AlphaTrak 500 Fund) expect to declare dividends daily and pay them monthly to shareholders. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund expects to declare and pay dividends to shareholders quarterly. Distributions of net capital gains, if any, will be made at least annually. The Board of Trustees may determine to declare dividends and make distributions more or less frequently.

 

Federal Income Taxation:

It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required.

 

Dividends and other distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are due primarily to timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by a Fund.

 

Cash and cash equivalents:

The Funds have defined cash and cash equivalents as cash in interest bearing and non-interest bearing accounts.

 

Use of estimates:

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

3.   PORTFOLIO INVESTMENTS

 

The Funds may invest in mortgage pass-through securities which represent interests in pools of mortgages in which payments of both principal and interest on the securities are generally made monthly, in effect “passing through” monthly payments made by borrowers on the residential or commercial mortgage loans which underlie the securities (net of any fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities). Mortgage pass-through securities differ from other forms of debt securities, which normally provide for periodic payment of interest in fixed amounts with principal payments at maturity or specified call dates.

 

 

 


 

41


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Payment of principal and interest on some mortgage-related securities (but not the market value of the securities themselves) may be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government (in the case of securities guaranteed by GNMA) or by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government (in the case of securities guaranteed by FNMA or the FHLMC, which are supported only by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations). Mortgage pass-through securities created by non-governmental issuers (such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers) may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, including individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance, and letters of credit, which may be issued by governmental entities, private insurers or the mortgage poolers.

 

The Funds may also invest in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMO”). CMOs are debt obligations collateralized by residential or commercial mortgage loans or residential or commercial mortgage pass-through securities. Interest and principal are generally paid monthly. CMOs may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or private mortgage pass-through securities but are more typically collateralized by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC, or FNMA. The issuer of a series of CMOs may elect to be treated for tax purposes as a Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (“REMIC”). CMOs are structured into multiple classes, each bearing a different stated maturity. Monthly payment of principal received from the pool of underlying mortgages, including prepayments, is first returned to investors holding the shortest maturity class. Investors holding the longer maturity classes usually receive principal only after shorter classes have been retired. An investor may be partially protected against a sooner than desired return of principal because of the sequential payments.

 

The Funds may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest (the interest-only or “IO” class), while the other class will receive all of the principal (the principal-only or “PO” class). During the period ended March 31, 2003, certain interest only securities were held as part of the overall mortgage portfolio holdings. The yield to maturity on IOs is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield to maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in IOs. Such securities will be considered liquid only if so determined in accordance with guidelines established by the Trustees. The Funds also may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities that are privately issued. These securities will be considered illiquid for purposes of each Fund’s limit on illiquid securities.

 

The Funds may purchase or sell exchange-traded futures contracts, which are contracts that obligate the Fund to make or take delivery of a financial instrument or the cash value of a security index at a specified future date at a specified price. The Funds may use futures contracts to manage exposure to the stock and bond markets or changes in interest rates and currency values, or for gaining exposure to markets. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market at the time the Adviser to the Fund may be attempting to sell some or all the Fund holdings or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin). Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund, generally on a daily basis. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. The statement of operations reflects net realized and net unrealized gains and losses on these contracts.

 

In addition to the securities listed above, the AlphaTrak 500 Fund may in the following equity derivative instruments with a notional or contractual value up to its total assets: S&P 500 Index futures contracts, Mini S&P 500 Index futures contracts, options on the S&P 500 Index and S&P futures, and swap agreements involving the S&P 500 Index. When the above listed S&P Index derivatives appear to be overvalued relative to the S&P 500 Index, the Fund may invest up to 100% in the common stocks that comprise the S&P 500 Index. The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its total assets in these stocks indirectly by purchasing interests in one or more mutual funds, asset pools, or trusts that invest in such stocks.

5.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES

 

As compensation for advisory services, the Adviser charges the Total Return Bond Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, and the High Yield Bond Fund a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.35%, 0.30%, 0.35%, and 0.50%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser charges the AlphaTrak 500 Fund a basic fee of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The basic fee may be adjusted upward or downward (by up to 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets), depending on whether, and to what extent, the investment performance of the AlphaTrak 500 Fund, for the relevant performance period, exceeds or is exceeded by, the performance of the S&P 500 Index over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was increased by 0.01% resulting in $319,487 of total management fees for the period ended March 31, 2003. Certain officers and trustees of the Funds are also officers and directors of the Adviser. Such officers and trustees serve without direct compensation from the Funds. Investment advisory fees and other transactions with affiliates, for the period ended March 31, 2003, were as follows:

6.   SHARE MARKETING (12b-1) PLAN

 

The Trust has a Share Marketing Plan (or “the Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act with respect to AlphaTrak 500 Fund, and Class M shares of the Total Return Bond Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, and the High Yield Bond Fund. The Total Return Bond Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund began accruing for Rule 12b-1 expenses on April 1, 2000. The High Yield Bond Fund began accruing for Rule 12b-1 expenses on October 2, 2002. Under the Plan, the Trust pays the Distributor, as the Trust’s distribution coordinator, an annual fee up to 0.25% of each Fund’s aggregate average daily net assets to reimburse expenses in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares of the respective Fund. The Adviser has undertaken to limit the Rule 12b-1 expenses to 0.21% for the Total Return Bond Fund and 0.19% for the Low Duration Bond Fund, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund is currently not incurring Rule 12b-1 fees.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Fund (“Total Return”), the Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund (“Low Duration”), the Metropolitan West AlphaTrak 500 Fund (“AlphaTrak”), the Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund (“Intermediate”), and the Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund (“High Yield”) (collectively, the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of March 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended for Total Return, Low Duration, and AlphaTrak, and for the period from June 28, 2002 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2003 for Intermediate and for the period from September 30, 2002 to March 31, 2003 (commencement of operations) for High Yield, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended for Total Return, Low Duration and AlphaTrak and for the period from June 28, 2002 to March 31, 2003 for Intermediate and for the period from September 30, 2002 to March 31, 2003 for High Yield, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended for Total Return and Low Duration and for the four years in the period then ended and for period from June 29, 1998 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 1999 for AlphaTrak and for the period from June 28, 2002 to March 31, 2003 for Intermediate and for the period from September 30, 2002 to March 31, 2003 for High Yield. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 the Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Fund, the Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund, the Metropolitan West AlphaTrak 500 Fund, the Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund and the Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund as of March 31, 2003, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for the respective stated periods, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
