Market Environment and Review

Maintaining its commitment to a “measured pace,” the Fed’s three meetings since the start of 2005 concluded with 25 basis point increases, taking the Funds’ rate to 3% from 2.25% at the beginning of the year. The moves reinforced a professed intent to “normalize” the bellwether short-term interest rate, which a mere nine months ago was pegged at a 50-year low of 1%. Eight meetings – and eight hikes – later, the Fed continues to make good on a promise to remove a monetary accommodation that, while instrumental in accelerating the post-stock market bubble recovery and staving off deflation worries in 2003, now has emitted signals of heightened inflationary pressure. Among the indicators that the prolonged period of easy money has lifted price indices: (1) the PPI has been running at a 4.5% to 5% annual pace over the past several months, (2) the CPI, in a little more than a year, has gone from an annual rate of 1.1% to 2.4%, and (3) import prices have increased by more than 6% over the last 12 months. Commodities, fueled by oil that peaked at over $57 per barrel and copper at its highest since the late 1980s, reached a 24-year high during March, highlighting the continuing expansion of the global economy and one apparently flush with liquidity. Domestic real estate prices, too, maintained their recent ascent, as evidenced by a 13% rise in the median resale price for single-family homes since February 2004.

 

Acknowledging the data and internalizing the subtly hawkish tone of the text accompanying the Fed’s hikes, the market priced in a quickening to the Fed’s measured pace, pushing the 2-Year Treasury rate higher by 71 basis points in the first quarter of 2005. The Treasury yield curve further flattened with the 10-Year rate up 26 basis points and the long bond actually down slightly in yield. With generally rising yields, the broad fixed income indexes spilled red ink in the first quarter. The Lehman Brothers (LB) Aggregate Index lost 0.48%, while the Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year US Treasury Index fell 0.26%. As augured by the year-to-date movement in the yield curve, only the LB Long Treasury Index posted a gain among the benchmarks.

 

While the Fed’s moves to-date have been widely telegraphed and the transmission through the yield curve – higher rates and flattening – is an expected consequence of the FOMC’s policy (even though Chairman Greenspan recently referred to the stickiness of Treasury rates eight moves into a tightening cycle as a “conundrum”), the more surprising development during the quarter was the challenge to the corporate market. From late 2002 through the end of 2004, yield spreads narrowed sharply as fundamental credit metrics improved across a wide swath of industries. Nowhere was this more apparent than in the high yield sector, for which the lifting sentiment delivered cumulative returns of near 53% against a broad U.S. Treasury market gain of just over 6% for the nine quarters ended December 31, 2004. So, it’s not unreasonable to presume that the market may stop to catch its breath after such a run, and that’s what we saw in the first quarter as the LB U.S. Corporate High Yield Index lost nearly 1.6% (and the LB Corporate Index lost 1.1%).

 

Still, the performance in those sectors was more than about taking a breather. In fact, momentum held through the early part of the year, as February ended with corporate issues at a multi-year low in yield spreads to the Treasury market before March revealed expectations of a downgrade (into high yield) of General Motors debt sometime in 2005. The prospect of GM’s huge supply of debt moving out of investment grade, which became more likely subsequent to a disappointing earnings report delivered in mid-March, roiled the corporate markets over the last two weeks of the quarter. No doubt that the realization of higher Treasury rates and, thus, the probability of increased corporate financing costs, caught up to investors late in the quarter as well. On the fundamental side of things, however, conditions in the corporate market remained virtuous through the first quarter. Profitability continued a positive trend while overall leverage levels have been held in check.

Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities delivered the best relative performance during the first quarter, as low volatility persisted and demand for yield remained robust. Of particular note, manufactured housing ABS continued to post solid duration-adjusted results and interest-only (IO) collateralized mortgage obligations performed well as mortgage prepayments declined due to rising rates. Within the government sector, TIPS continued their strong relative performance due to further widening in breakeven inflation rates.

The Market Ahead

Looking ahead, Fund strategies maintain a short duration relative to the benchmark indexes in expectation of further Fed tightening and pressure on interest rates across the curve. While the anticipation of increasing Treasury rates is predicated on the inflationary evidence indicated above, further risk remains due to the continuing extremes of Federal budget and trade deficits which should ultimately lead to demands for greater yield compensation by holders of U.S. Treasury securities. Focusing on relative value and safety, we continue to de-emphasize government debentures while selecting short duration mortgage-backed, asset-backed, and corporate holdings that are expected to deliver stronger relative performance in a flat- to rising-rate environment. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed holdings remain concentrated in well-structured issues that are less vulnerable to duration extension risk. Within the corporate segment of the portfolio, management continues to employ a yield-capture strategy which is characterized by greater emphasis on issues with higher credit quality, higher seniority in the capital structure, and less vulnerability to rising rates. Focus remains on areas of the corporate market that offer attractive relative value such as airline enhanced equipment trust certificates, autos, energy, financial services, insurance, REITS, and telecom.

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. A quality rating, such as “BB,” refers to the credit risk of individual securities, and not to the Fund. Investment by a Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.

 

The High Yield Bond Fund purchases more speculative bonds, which are subject to greater risks than higher-rated bonds. The Strategic Income Fund engages in sophisticated investment strategies. These Funds may not be suitable for all investors.

 

The views and forecasts expressed here are as of March 2005, are subject to change without notice and may not come to pass. Investment strategies may not achieve the desired results due to implementation lag, other timing factors, portfolio management decision-making, economic or market conditions or other unanticipated factors.

 

*Are unmanaged indices that are not available for direct investment.

Metropolitan West Funds

Disclosure of Fund Expenses

For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2005 (Unaudited)

 

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

 

This table illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:

 

Actual Fund Return: This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses, after any applicable fee waivers, that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return for the past six month period, the “Expense Ratio” column shows the period’s annualized expense ratio, and the “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund at the beginning of the period.

 

You may use the information here, together with your account value, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your fund in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. This example is useful in making comparisons to other mutual funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed 5% annual return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expense shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. The Metropolitan West Funds do not charge any sales loads or exchange fees, but these may be present in other funds to which you compare this data. Therefore, the hypothetical portions of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

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 federally 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 Strategic Income Fund – Class I commenced operations on March 31, 2004 and the Ultra Short Bond Fund – Class I commenced operations on July 30, 2004.

 

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. Effective April 1, 2005, 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 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 and swaps 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:

The Funds value securities pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. 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 (also approved by the Board of Trustees) which 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 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 reflect 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 at least annually 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 where 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.

 

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.

 


 

81


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.

 

The Funds may invest in securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and similar United States Government sponsored entities such as Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLB’s”). Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and FHLB’s, although chartered and sponsored by Congress, are not funded by Congressional appropriations and the debt and mortgage-backed securities issued by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae and FHLB’s are neither guaranteed nor insured by the United States Government.

 

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 year ended March 31, 2005, 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, and Total Return Bond 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 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.

 

The Funds 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 counter-party. The Funds 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 Funds 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 may 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, counter-party risk and credit risk.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

The Funds may enter into total return swap agreements. Total Return Swap is the generic name for any non-traditional swap where one party agrees to pay the other the “total return” of a defined underlying asset, usually in return for receiving a stream of LIBOR based cashflows. The Total Return Swap may be applied to any underlying asset but is most commonly used with equity indices, single stocks, and bonds and defined portfolios of loans and mortgages. The Total Return Swap is a mechanism for the user to accept the economic benefits of asset ownership without utilizing the balance sheet. The other leg of the swap, usually LIBOR, is spread to reflect the non-balance sheet nature of the product. Total Return Swaps can be designed with any underlying asset agreed between two parties. No notional amounts are exchanged with Total Return Swaps.

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 for the relevant three month performance period), depending on whether, and to what extent, the investment performance of the AlphaTrak 500 Fund before management fees, for the relevant performance period, exceeds or is exceeded by, the performance of the S&P 500 Index plus a margin of 1.00% over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was decreased by 0.03% resulting in $424,660 of total management fees for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund is obliged to repay the Adviser for a period of three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the Adviser reimbursed the Fund only to the extent that the operating expenses of the Fund fall below the stated expense limitations. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, the Fund repaid the Adviser $30,604, the full amount due to the Advisor. 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 for the relevant twelve month performance period), 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 a margin of 2.00% over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was increased by 0.57% resulting in $2,912,873 of total management fees for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. 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.

Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide general indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve further claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Metropolitan West Funds

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of the

Metropolitan West Funds:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Metropolitan West Funds (the “Trust”), consisting 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 portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended for Low Duration, Intermediate, Total Return, High Yield and Alpha Trak and for each of the two periods in the period then ended 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 Trust’s 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. An audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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, 2005, 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.

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.

  (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 was $186,750 in 2005 and $61,992 in 2004.

 

Fees represent audit and other related audit services provided to the Adviser, its Affiliates and its Subsidiaries.

 

  (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.
