Market Environment and Review

Nearing the end of the third quarter, Mother Nature struck hard against the U.S. Gulf states, as Hurricane Katrina wreaked calamitous destruction along coastal Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama in late August. Leaving a virtually destroyed New Orleans in its wake (the result of a compromised series of flood control levees), it was only a matter of a week or so before a new storm took aim at the Texas coast. Hurricane Rita, preceded by the sobering catastrophe of Katrina, commanded duly intensified preparations, spurred chaotic evacuation attempts and further threatened the area’s massive geo-petro infrastructure. To the relief of the storm-ravaged region, Rita dissipated with relative quickness and without the follow-up disaster that was New Orleans. Still, Rita left behind her share of damage, though overall more disruptive than destructive to the oil industry, likely fortuitous given the already staggering costs to rebuild. In the wake of the catastrophe, with the toll on life and property incalculable, an unprecedented recovery and rebuilding effort will move forward. The economic fallout from the shock is likely to be significant, especially on a regular basis most notably from the spigots that will gush forth relief from Washington.

 

Before the one-two punch of Katrina and Rita, the economy remained expansionary, though the effects of a 54% surge in gasoline prices since early May were clearly weighing on consumer confidence measures. Additionally, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) held fast to its commitment to normalize the Fed Funds rate, hiking the monetary bellwether – and, of course, prime-related interest measures – by 25 basis points at, now, eleven straight meetings (as of September 30), lifting the Fed Funds rate to 3.75%. The latest hike came notwithstanding some political and investor calls for a pause in order to assess the impact of the hurricanes. Based on the Fed’s strong signal that it will continue to tighten, Treasury yields moved higher across the curve by approximately 30 basis points in September alone. Year-to-date, however, the Treasury curve story has been one of dramatic flattening, with the 2-Year yield up by 110 basis points (to 3.54%) and the 10-Year higher by only 11 basis points (to 4.32%). (The “long” Treasury yield was, in fact, lower by 26 basis points in 2005, at least through September 30.)

 

A flatter Treasury yield curve, along with still-low rates and limited volatility, i.e., opportunity, across the fixed income sectors, has contributed to muted returns in 2005 across much of the capital markets. The third quarter met with some recovery in a corporate market that had faced a challenging first half of 2005, when a credit downgrade of billions in auto industry debt stirred volatility across the sector, increased risk premiums and led to modest underperformance in the corporate market (investment grade and high yield). With technical pressures subsiding over the past three months, investment grade corporate bonds added about 30 basis points of incremental duration-adjusted performance, while high yield added approximately 190 basis points. Asset-backed issues, particularly those collateralized by home equity and manufactured housing loans, continued to deliver positive relative performance, with 25 basis points over the third quarter and nearly 100 basis points in 2005. Based on these factors, the Metropolitan West Funds posted the following returns through September 30, 2005.

 

Data sources for the discussion above include Bloomberg, Lehman Brothers, and Merrill Lynch.

The Market Ahead

Strategically, MWAM maintains a relatively defensive portfolio positioning with regard to interest rates across the Funds. However, with Treasury rates higher by 65 to 75 basis points since June 30 (through October 28), MWAM’s philosophical approach has called for and will precipitate incrementally more duration versus the various benchmarks as rates push higher. The broadly distributed maturity structure (i.e., barbell) of the past several quarters has been neutralized, as the yield curve has flattened sharply in concert with the Fed’s systematic tightening over the last 15 months. Sector emphasis continues in mortgage- and asset-backed securities with solid credit enhancement, modest yield premiums and protection against duration extension. Holdings focus on “seasoned” home loans, as well as asset-backed securities collateralized by home equity and manufactured housing receivables. While selection in corporate issues remains predicated on yield capture, with a focus on good credit fundamentals and higher seniority in the capital structure, MWAM’s view on credit spreads is becoming increasingly more cautious. Across the Funds, within the corporate sector, value is targeted in enhanced equipment trust certificates (EETCs) and auto industry bonds, both bearing attractive risk-adjusted yields.

 

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 current to the most recent month-end may be obtained at www.mwamllc.com. 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. 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.

 

Bond Funds have similar interest rates, issues and credit risks as those associated with the underlying bonds in their portfolios, all of which could reduce a Fund’s value. As interest rates rise, the value of a Bond Fund can decline and an investor can lose principal. 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. The AlphaTrakSM 500 Fund trades futures and derivative contracts. These Funds may not be suitable for all investors.

 

The views and forecasts expressed here are as of September 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.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses

For the Six Months Ended September 30, 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 provide an example illustrating a fund’s 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.

All figures presented as percentages of total net assets. Credit rating distributions for each fund were determined by giving each fixed income security the highest rating assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. If a security is not rated, the Adviser has assigned a credit rating based upon the credit rating of comparable quality rated securities.

 

The summary of Portfolio Holdings does not reflect investments in derivatives. Interested investors should consult the Schedule of Portfolio Investments for each fund for details on derivative investments.

 

In addition to its annual and semi-annual reports, the Funds file a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ most recent Form N-Q was filed for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the Commission’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

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 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. 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 (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 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 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.

 


 

77


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 Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLB”). 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 mortgaged-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 six months ended September 30, 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.

 


 

78


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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 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.

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, 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), 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 decreased by 0.01% resulting in $234,119 of total management fees for the six months ended September 30, 2005. 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 2.00% over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was decreased by 0.11% resulting in $1,893,293 of total management fees for the six months ended September 30, 2005. The Strategic Income 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 six months ended September 30, 2005, the Fund repaid the Adviser $24,669, the full amount due to the Advisor.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Post-October Loss:

Under the current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 and prior to the Funds’ fiscal year end may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. For the period ended March 31, 2005, the following funds had post October losses.

 

Fund


   

Low Duration Bond Fund

  $ 24,545,273

Total Return Bond Fund

  $ 55,656,289

 

10.   INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

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.

Approval of Renewal of Investment Management Agreement

(Unaudited)

 

The Trust’s Board has approved the renewal of the Trust’s Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Adviser for an additional one-year term through the next annual meeting of the Board expected in May 2006. The renewal of the Agreement was approved by the Board (including a majority of the independent Board members) upon the recommendation of the independent Board members. The independent Board members met separately in executive session to discuss and review the information that had been presented for their consideration prior to the Board’s vote to renew the Agreement. The information, material facts and conclusions that formed the basis for their recommendation and the Board’s subsequent approval are described below.

 

1.   Information received

 

Materials reviewed – During the course of each year, the independent Board members receive a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by the Adviser, including reports on each Fund’s investment results, portfolio composition, portfolio trading practices, shareholder services, and other information relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds. In addition, the Board reviewed supplementary information that included extensive materials regarding each Fund’s investment results, independently prepared advisory fee and expense comparisons to other mutual funds, advisory fee comparisons to advisory fees charged by the Adviser to its institutional clients, financial and profitability information regarding the Adviser, descriptions of various functions such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and information about the personnel providing investment management services to the Fund.

 

Review process – The independent Board members reviewed advice regarding legal and industry standards provided by legal counsel to the Trust, which is not independent legal counsel. The independent Board members discussed the renewal of the Agreement with the Adviser’s representatives and in a private session at which no representatives of the Adviser were present. In deciding to recommend the renewal of the Agreement with respect to each Fund, the independent Board members did not identify any single or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the Board.

 

2.   Nature, extent and quality of services

 

The Board considered the depth and quality of the Adviser’s investment management process, including its research and intellectual capabilities; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; the low turnover rates of its key personnel; the overall resources of its organization; and the ability of its organizational structure to address the growth in assets and products under its management. The Board also considered that the Adviser made available to its investment professionals a variety of resources and systems relating to investment management, compliance, trading, results and portfolio accounting. They considered the Adviser’s commitment to investing in information technology supporting investment management and compliance. They further noted the high level of communication between the Adviser and the Board.

 

The Board and the independent Board members concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser are of a high quality and have benefited and will continue to benefit the Funds and their shareholders.

 

3.   Investment results

 

The Board considered the investment results of each Fund in light of its investment objective. They compared each Fund’s total returns with the total returns of other mutual funds in peer group reports prepared by Lipper, an independent data provider, with respect to various pertinent periods. In reviewing each Fund’s relative performance, the Board took into account the Fund’s unique characteristics and its asset size, diversification and range of investments.

 

The Board noted that each Fund’s performance was acceptable over the relevant periods, particularly from a longer-term perspective, which the Board believes is the most relevant. The Board ultimately concluded that the Adviser was implementing each Fund’s investment objective and the Adviser’s record in managing the Fund indicates that its continued management will benefit the Fund and its shareholders.

 

4.   Advisory fees and total expenses

 

The Board compared the advisory fees and total expenses of each Fund (each as a percentage of average net assets) with the median fee and expense levels of all other mutual funds in the relevant Lipper peer groups. These comparisons

 


 

85


assisted the Board by providing a reasonable statistical measure to assess each Fund’s fees relative to its relevant peers. The Board observed that each Fund’s advisory fee was below the median of the peer group funds on a current basis with the exception of the Strategic Income Fund. The Board discussed why the Lipper peer group was not a suitable comparison for that Fund because the Strategic Income Fund should instead be compared to private absolute value funds, which the Adviser views as that Fund’s closest relevant comparison and to which it compares very favorably. The Board further noted that the AlphaTrak 500 Fund and the Strategic Income Fund both employ a fulcrum fee that adjusts upward from a basic fee only if the Fund enjoys favorable performance against its specified benchmark (and adjusts downward in the case of unfavorable relative performance). The Board further noted the relevant contractual expense limitations that the Adviser has agreed to with respect to each Fund, and that the Adviser historically has absorbed any expenses in excess of these limits. The Board concluded that the relatively low level of the fees charged by the Adviser will benefit each Fund and its shareholders.

 

The Board also reviewed information regarding the advisory fees paid by institutional clients of the Adviser with similar investment mandates. They concluded that, although the fees paid by those clients generally were lower than those paid by the Funds, the differences appropriately reflected the Adviser’s significantly greater responsibilities and expenses with respect to the Funds, including the costs of complying with the more comprehensive regulatory regime applicable to registered mutual funds.

 

5.   The Adviser’s costs, level of profits and economies of scale

 

The independent Board members reviewed information regarding the Adviser’s costs of providing services to the Funds, as well as the resulting level of profits to the Adviser. They reviewed the Adviser’s stated assumptions and methods of allocating certain costs, such as personnel costs, which constitute the Adviser’s largest operating cost. They accepted the Adviser’s assertion that its profit margins have declined over time with respect to the Funds as a result of increased regulatory and other costs involved with the mutual fund business. The independent Board members recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund and, based on their review, concluded that they were satisfied that the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund was not unreasonable or excessive.

 

The independent Board members considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether the advisory fees reflect those economies of scale. They realized that the advisory fees for the Funds do not have breakpoints, which would result in lower advisory fee rates as the Fund grow larger. And, they accepted the Adviser’s assertion that the advisory fees compare favorably to peer group fees and expenses. The Board also recognized the benefits to the Funds of the Adviser’s past investment in and experience with the Funds’ operations (through some past subsidies of the Funds’ operating expenses when they were newer and smaller), and its commitment to maintain reasonable overall operating expenses for each Fund.

 

6.   Ancillary benefits

 

The Board considered other actual and potential financial benefits to the Adviser in concluding that the contractual advisory fees are reasonable for the Funds. In particular, they noted that the Adviser does not have any affiliates that directly benefit from the Adviser’s relationship to the Funds.

 

7.   Conclusions

 

Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board and the independent Board members concluded that the Agreement is fair and reasonable to each Fund and its shareholders, that the Fund’s shareholders received reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to the Adviser by each Fund, and that the renewal of the Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
