Review

Echoing what has become a hopeful and recurrent theme since our last Semi-Annual Report, the last six months revealed continued strengthening over a broad cross-section of economic data. First, fourth quarter GDP growth was confirmed at a solid 4.1% on the heels of the third quarter’s scorching 8.3% pace, surpassing expectations in both quarters. Moreover, the early consensus for the first quarter of 2004 calls for 5% growth, the occurrence of which would be the first time since 1994 that the economy has grown by at least 4% for three straight quarters. While the consumer, buoyed by historically low mortgage interest rates, has remained reliable during the current economic recovery, recently business has been contributing its share via increased capital spending. Manufacturing has also seen more vigorous performance, as new orders have begun to outstrip on-hand inventory, setting the stage for a pickup in production that should provide further momentum to the economic expansion clearly underway.

 

Despite the accumulation of positive indicators, one challenge – lagging job growth – has remained a restraint on unbridled enthusiasm. That lingering sentiment, in conjunction with a Fed Funds rate of 1% and an extraordinary level of Treasury investment by the Japanese and Chinese central banks, has held interest rates in check, at a level not much higher than the 50-year lows that prevailed in June 2003. The view of MWAM, as expressed by a defensive investment thesis, has held that the low level of interest rates was inconsistent not only with the accommodative Fed monetary policy, but also with the massive fiscal stimulus associated with tax cuts and burgeoning Federal expenditures.

 

Finally, on April 2nd, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that non-farm payrolls swelled by 308,000 in March, the highest monthly growth in four years. On the heels of the BLS report, the Institute of Supply Management’s service index jumped to a record level, indicating an expansion across the financial services, construction, and retail sectors heretofore lacking in vigor. Not unexpectedly, the Treasury market sold off and rates moved higher, especially at the short maturity end of the yield curve, as investors began to discount an increased likelihood of the Fed tightening and a less quiescent inflationary outlook.

 

Although the defensive duration strategy has gone largely unrewarded to date (at least through quarter-end), the lifting economic sentiment was instrumental in providing a backdrop for the healthy recovery in the corporate bond market that began in October 2002. All of the MWAM Funds have participated in the recovery by emphasizing allocation to the areas of the corporate bond market that offered attractive risk-adjusted opportunities, some of them unique once-in-a-market cycle in orientation. Importantly, these opportunities were pursued in a measured and diversified fashion, with an eye toward the building pressure on interest rates. Furthermore, as the recovery proceeded, and many of the holdings met with significant price improvement, MWAM sold, taking gains and redeploying the proceeds into new value opportunities.

The Market Ahead

Strategically, positioning of the Funds remains anchored by an expectation for continued pressure on interest rates and a flattening in the Treasury yield curve. With the ongoing potential for higher interest rates, Treasury and mortgage issues remain susceptible to interest rate and mortgage extension risks. In response, the Funds hold a variety of issues designed to provide protection and flexibility. Included among the types of issues held across the Funds are: Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), callable agency issues with step-up coupons, and well-structured mortgage-backed securities (PAC CMOs and IOs) and asset-backed securities (AAA- and AA-rated senior tranche home mortgage loans).

 

As noted above, given the strong rally in the corporate sector since late 2002, exposure has been and looks to be further trimmed in favor of relative value, with a reduced allocation to the sector. As a case in point, exposure to insurers pared in the first quarter as pricing converged toward fundamental value. With regard to ongoing corporate holdings, MWAM remains constructive on airline EETCs, autos, energy, telecommunications, and selected financial services providers.

 

A Consistent Long-Term Value Orientation

In closing, MWAM remains committed to a philosophy rooted in a value with a long-term perspective. As such, 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.

 

Again, we thank you for your continued support of the Metropolitan West Funds and look forward to the ongoing opportunity to meet your investment needs.

 

Sincerely,

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. One-year returns are due in part to market conditions that might not be repeated in the future. 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.

 

The views and forecasts expressed here are as of March 2004, are subject to change without notice and may not come to pass.

1.   SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION

 

The Metropolitan West Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory 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 seven separate portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Metropolitan West Ultra Short Bond Fund (the “Ultra Short Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund (the “Low Duration Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund (the “Intermediate Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Fund (the “Total Return Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund (the “High Yield Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income 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 March 31, 2003. Class M shares of the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Ultra Short Bond Fund, and the Strategic Income Fund commenced operations on June 30, 2003.

 

The Ultra Short Bond Fund seeks to maximize current income, consistent with preservation of capital. This Fund invests in a portfolio of fixed-income securities of varying maturities with a portfolio duration of up to one year. The Fund’s dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity will normally exceed one year.

 

The Low Duration 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 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 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 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.

 

The Strategic Income Fund seeks to maximize long-term total return without tracking any particular markets or indices. This fund uses strategies intended to provide absolute (positive) returns in all markets by employing a strategy intended to produce high income while exploiting disparities or inefficiencies in markets. The Fund will focus on inefficiencies related to secured or asset-backed debt compared with unsecured and subordinated debt or equity of companies and issuers. Additionally, the Fund will focus on longer-term cyclical anomalies in the fixed income markets to both enhance yield and realize potential price appreciation. These anomalies include: shifts in the portfolio’s duration, yield curve anomalies, and sector and issue-specific dislocations.

 

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.

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. The Funds receive pricing information from independent pricing vendors (approved by the Board of Trustees) which also use information provided by market makers or estimates of values obtained from yield data relating to investments of securities with similar characteristics. As appropriate, quotations for high yield bonds may also take additional factors into consideration such as the activity of the underlying equity or sector movements. However, securities with a demand feature exercisable within one to seven days are valued at par. 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, divisor or margin that the Adviser believes would together 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 benchmark. Once each month 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 if their original maturity was 60 days or less. If their original term to maturity exceeded 60 days, they are valued by amortizing the value as of the 61st day prior to maturity (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 that 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.

 

Payable to Custodian:

The amounts payable to custodian represent unsettled interest, paydown payments and unsettled securities.

 

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.

 

 


 

63


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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.

 

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, 2004, 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 also sell a debt or equity security short that is, without owning it and borrow the same security from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The Adviser may use short sales when it believes a security is overvalued or as a partial hedge against a position in a related security of the same issuer held by a Fund. The Ultra Short Bond Fund, Low Duration Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, and AlphaTrak 500 Fund will not make total short sales exceeding 25% of the value of that Fund’s assets. The High Yield Bond Fund and Strategic Income Fund will not make total short sales exceeding 33 1/3% of the Fund’s assets. If the value of the security sold short increases, a Fund would lose money because it would need to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at a higher price. The potential loss is unlimited. (If the short sale was intended as a hedge against another investment, the loss on the short sale may be fully or partially offset by gains in that other investment.)

 

A lender may request that the borrowed securities be returned on short notice; if that occurs at a time when other short sellers of the subject security are receiving similar requests, a “short squeeze” can occur. This means that the Fund might be compelled, at the most disadvantageous time, to replace borrowed securities previously sold short, with purchases on the open market at prices significantly greater than those at which the securities were sold short. Short selling also may produce higher than normal portfolio turnover and result in increased transaction costs to the Fund. The Funds also may make short sales “against-the-box”, in which the Funds sell short securities they own. The Funds will incur transaction costs, including interest expenses, in connection with opening, maintaining and closing short sales against-the-box, which result in a “constructive sale”, requiring the Fund to recognize any taxable gain from the transaction.

 

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 invest 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.

 

The Strategic Income Fund may invest in swap agreements. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than a year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns earned on specific assets, such as the return on, or increase in value of, a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. A swap contract may not be assigned without the consent of the counter-party (and in certain circumstances may not be assignable), and may result in losses in the event of a default or bankruptcy of the counterparty. The Fund may enter into credit default swap agreements. The “buyer” in a credit default contract is obligated to pay the “seller” a periodic, stream of payments over the term of the contract provided no event of default has occurred. In the event of default, the seller must pay the buyer the “par value” (full notional value) of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. The Fund may be either the buyer or seller in the transaction. If the fund is a buyer and no event of default occurs, the fund loses its investment and recovers nothing. However, if an event of default occurs, the buyer receives full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund receives a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the contract, provided there is no default event. If an event of default occurs, the seller may pay the notional value of the reference obligation. The value of the reference obligation received by the seller, coupled with the periodic payments previously received may be less than the full notional value it pays to the buyer, resulting in a loss of value to the Fund. Credit default swaps involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. In addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to illiquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risks.

5.   INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES

 

As compensation for advisory services, the Adviser charges the Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, and the High Yield Bond Fund a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.25%, 0.30%, 0.35%, 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 0.35% resulting in $769,162 of total management fees for the period ended March 31, 2004. In addition, the AlphaTrak 500 Fund accrued based on Fund’s average daily net assets and paid $48,363 of management fees during the fiscal year for the month of March 2003. The Adviser charges the Strategic Income Fund a basic fee of 1.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The basic fee may be adjusted upward or downward (by up to 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets), depending on whether, and to what extent, the investment performance of the Strategic Income Fund, for the relevant performance period, exceeds or is exceeded by, the performance of the Merrill Lynch 3 month U.S. Treasury Bill Index plus 200 basis points over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was increased by 0.70% resulting in $301,841 of total management fees for the period ended March 31, 2004.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Metropolitan West Ultra Short Bond Fund (“Ultra Short”), the Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund (“Low Duration), the Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund (“Intermediate”), the Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Fund (“Total Return”), the Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund (“High Yield”), the Metropolitan West Strategic Income Fund (“Strategic Income”) and the Metropolitan West Alpha Trak 500 Fund (“Alpha Trak”) (collectively, the “Funds”), including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2004 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended for Low Duration, Intermediate, Total Return, High Yield and Alpha Trak and for the period from June 30, 2003 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2004 for Ultra Short and Strategic Income, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two periods in the period then ended for Low Duration, Intermediate, Total Return, High Yield and Alpha Trak and for the period from June 30, 2003 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2004 for Ultra Short and Strategic Income, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. 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 audits 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, 2004, 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 Funds as of March 31, 2004, 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.

Audit Fees

 

  (a)   The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were $126,315 in 2004 and $90,619 in 2003.


Audit-Related Fees

 

  (b)   The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and are not reported under paragraph (a) of this Item were NONE.

Tax fees represent tax compliance services provided in connection with the review of the Registrant’s tax returns (Form 1120-RIC and Form 100 CA) and year end Excise Tax review.

 

All Other Fees

 

  (d)   The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Item were NONE.

 

  (e)(1)   Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee (“Committee”) of the registrant is responsible for pre-approving (i) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors to the registrant and (ii) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors to Metropolitan West Funds and any affiliate of Metropolitan West Funds that provides services to the registrant (a “Covered Services Provider”) if the independent auditors’ engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to the Chairperson of the Committee, and the Chairperson must report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the Chairperson’s pre-approval of such services, his or her decision(s). The Committee may also establish detailed pre-approval policies and procedures for pre-approval of such services in accordance with applicable laws, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than Metropolitan West Funds or the registrant’s officers). Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the registrant, Metropolitan West Funds and any Covered Services Provider constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant to its independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee or the Chairperson prior to the completion of the audit.


  (e)(2)   The percentage of services described in each of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are as follows:

 

(b) N/A

 

(c) 100%

 

(d) N/A

 

  (f)   The percentage of hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees was NONE.

 

  (g)   The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant were $61,992 in 2004 and $59,397 in 2003.

 

  (h)   The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
