Market Environment and Review

Market complacency was finally shaken at the end of February after the Chinese equity market plunged almost 10% in one day due to an announced crackdown on margin trading by the government. The extreme reaction to a seemingly innocuous piece of foreign news showed the first real cracks in the market. However, they remain only cracks. Liquidity is still abundant, and although volatility remains somewhat elevated, the market has largely put the last two days of February behind it. The jump in volatility coupled with ongoing housing weakness caused the yield curve to steepen 27 basis points between the two year Treasury note and the 30-year Treasury bond due to increasing expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve (Fed). Despite the steepening, the curve remains slightly inverted between 2 year and 5 year maturities. The steeper yield curve coupled with higher breakeven inflation rates on Treasury Inflation Protection Securities (TIPS) indicate that inflation fears may be creeping back into the market, reducing the likelihood of a near-term rate cut.

Also working against a rate cut, year over year GDP remained above 3% and ticked up slightly to 3.1% last quarter after a slower pace the preceding two quarters. Inflation, as measured by the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) deflator, also stayed above the Fed’s professed 2% comfort level, bumping up to 2.4% year-over-year. At the same time, the unemployment rate has hovered around 4.5% since the last quarter of 2006, suggesting the economy is still in relatively good shape and inflation pressures linger. Although subtly shifting to a more neutral policy stance at the March meeting, the Federal Reserve remains wary of inflation. Chairman Bernanke has reiterated in recent testimony his expectation for “moderate economic growth” with little anticipated spillover from weakness in housing and manufacturing.

The housing market continued to struggle, as home sales dropped to their lowest levels in almost seven years, inventories rose to their highest levels in sixteen years, and borrower delinquency rates (particularly in the subprime market) increased. The poor collateral performance, recent volatility, and the staggering amount of press coverage pushed yield spreads of lower rated subprime home equity asset-backed securities dramatically higher. Spreads of the lowest rated, BBB- tranche of the 2007 ABX index (a composite of 20 benchmark ABS deals issued in 2007) peaked at over 1,500 basis points. The damage so far has been fairly contained; however, the strong inverse relationship between delinquencies and retail sales may signal trouble on the horizon for what has been a consumer driven expansion. Consumers’ difficulties have been compounded by lending standards that are tighter now than anytime since 2000. Tighter standards and falling home prices limit their ability to sell or refinance out of trouble, putting downward pressure on growth. At the same time, corporations have switched out of the balance sheet repair mode of 2002-2005 to pursue more shareholder friendly activities such as share repurchases, which have risen substantially in 2006 and 2007, reducing the likelihood that corporate investment will be able to pick up the slack from a slowing consumer.

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

The Market Ahead

MWAM’s central forecast remains unchanged with growth expectations in the 2% range, and inflation trending modestly downward. We expect interest rates to rise somewhat from current levels, with long-term rates stabilizing near, but probably below 5%. Given that, the Fed is expected to remain on hold for most of 2007, with the next move a likely ease toward the end of this year. The outlook is tempered by the recognition that most of the risks to our forecast are negative for growth. Higher commodity and energy prices, contagion from the subprime market, spillover from housing, geopolitical instability, or another unexpected credit event are all risks that could lead to Fed action earlier than anticipated. Regardless of the noise coming from the popular press, the current disruptions in the housing market are not expected to spill over into the broader economy. The effect of lower home prices will weigh on GDP, but should not overwhelm the effects of solid wage growth and low unemployment.

Most prominently in the near-term, MWAM expects to maintain strategies designed to profit from a steeper yield curve. Portfolios continue to be defensively positioned with regard to non-government sectors. In the corporate market, the focus is on moving higher in the capital structure where possible and holding more defensive sectors such as REITs and insurance which offer protection to bond holders through solid covenant packages and regulatory oversight. In the MBS and ABS sectors, the fund concentrates on holdings in issues with strong protection through subordination, overcollateralization, or excess spread that were issued two or more years ago, when underwriting standards were tighter and that have had a chance to de-lever and further improve credit enhancement.

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 milestones.

 

Sincerely,

President and Trustee

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 portfolio, 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, including the use of derivatives. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund trades futures and other derivative contracts. These Funds may not be suitable for all investors.

The views and forecasts expressed here are as of March 2007, 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 March 31, 2007

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.

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.

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 federally registered investment adviser, provides the Funds (as defined below) 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. On March 31, 2007, the Fund closed to purchases by most new shareholders.

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 combines investments in S&P 500 Index futures contracts and swaps

with 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 prices as provided by independent pricing vendors. 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. ET 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. The fair valued securities at March 31, 2007 are referenced on each Fund’s schedule of portfolio investments by a footnote.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income:

Security transactions are accounted for no later than the first net asset value calculation on the first business day following the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, portfolio securities transactions are reported on 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.

 

90


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Federal Income Taxation:

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

Dividends and other distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character. Financial records are not adjusted for temporary differences.

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.

New accounting pronouncements:

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Interpretation is to be implemented no later than the September 30, 2007 net asset value calculation, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. Management has recently begun to evaluate the application of the Interpretation to the Funds, and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Funds’ financial statements.

In addition, in September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods use to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of March 31, 2007, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements reported on the statement of changes in net assets for a fiscal period.

 

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

 

91


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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 purchase and write call and put options on securities, securities indices and on foreign currencies. A Fund may purchase put options on securities to seek to protect holdings in an underlying or related security against a substantial decline in market value. A Fund may purchase call options on securities to seek to protect against substantial increases in prices of securities the Fund intends to purchase pending its ability to invest in such securities in an orderly manner. A Fund may write a call or put option only if the option is covered by the Fund’s holding a position in the underlying securities or by other means which would permit immediate satisfaction of the Fund’s obligation as writer of the option. The purchase and writing of options involves certain risks. During the option period, the covered call writer has, in return for the premium on the option, given up the opportunity to profit from a price increase in the underlying securities above the sum of the premium and exercise price, but, as long as its obligation as a writer continues, has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying securities decline. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it maybe required to fulfill its obligation as a writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying securities at the exercise price. If a put or call option purchased by the Fund is not sold when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying security, in the case of a put, remains equal to or greater than the exercise price or, in the case of a call, remains less than or equal to the exercise price, the Fund will lose its entire investment in the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position. Furthermore, if trading restrictions or suspensions are imposed on the options markets, a Fund my be unable to close out a positions.

The Funds may invest in Collateralized Bond Obligations (“CBOs”), Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs”) and other Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDOs), which are debt instruments backed solely by a pool of other debt securities. The risks of an investment in a CBO, CLO or other CDO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the CBO, CLO or other CDO in which a Fund invests. Some CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs have credit ratings, but are typically issued in various classes with various priorities. Normally, CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs are privately offered and sold (that is, not registered under the securities laws) and may be characterized by the Funds as illiquid securities, but an active dealer market may exist for CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs that qualify for Rule 144A transactions. In addition to the normal interest rate, default and other risks of fixed income securities CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs carry additional risks, including the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default, the Funds may invest in CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs that are subordinate to other classes, volatility in value, and the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

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 March 31, 2007, 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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.

The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements, whereby a Fund sells securities concurrently with entering into an agreement to repurchase those securities at a later date at a fixed price. During the reverse repurchase agreement period, the Fund continues to receive principal and interest payments on those securities. Reverse repurchase agreements are speculative techniques involving leverage and are considered borrowings by the Fund for purposes of the percentage limitations applicable to borrowings. The average dollar amount and average interest rate of reverse repurchase agreements in the Strategic Income Fund for the year ended March 31, 2007 was $7,590,251 and 5.23%, respectively. The maximum amount of reverse repurchase agreements opened during the year for the Strategic Income Fund was $56,105,000 which occurred in March 2007.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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.

In addition, 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 such transactions. 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 of a credit default swap, 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 write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions. Swaption contracts written by the Funds represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a new swap agreement, or to shorten, extend, cancel or modify an existing swap agreement, on a future date on specified terms. Depending on the terms of the particular option agreement, a Fund will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it writes a swaption than it will incur when it purchases a swaption. When a Fund purchases a swaption, it risks losing only the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the option expire unexercised. However, when a Fund writes a swaption, upon exercise of the option the Fund will become obligated according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

The Funds also 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.

As a result, unrealized gains are reported as an asset and unrealized losses are reported as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in the value of the swaps, including periodic amounts of interest paid or received on swaps is reported as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations. A realized gain or loss is recorded upon payment or termination of swap agreements. Swap agreements are stated at fair value. Notional principal amounts are used upon payment or receipt of a periodic payment or termination of swap agreements to express the extent of involvement in these transactions, but the amounts subject to credit risk are much smaller. At March 31, 2007, the Funds had outstanding swap agreements as listed in the Funds’ Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Swap transactions present risk of loss in excess of the related amounts in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The WorldCom Victim Trust has been authorized by U.S. District Court to distribute the first $150 million of funds to investor victims of the fraud, payable at an initial rate of 6.25% of eligible fraud loss. As of March 31, 2007, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, and the AlphaTrak 500 Fund have received and recorded as realized gains $12,901,674, $27,217,067 and $1,109,732, respectively. In April 2007, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, and the AlphaTrak 500 Fund recovered $593,177, $1,322,141 and $81,515, respectively.

As a result of a FASB Emerging Issues Task Force consensus and subsequent SEC staff guidance, the Funds have reclassified periodic payments made under all swap agreements, previously included within interest income, as

 

94


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

a component of realized gain/(loss) in the Statements of Operations. For consistency, similar reclassifications have been made to amounts appearing in the previous year’s Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the per share amounts in the Financial Highlights. Prior year net investment income ratios in the Financial Highlights have also been modified accordingly. The reclassification had no effect on the Funds’ net asset value, either in total or per share, or its total increase/(decrease) in net assets from operations during any period.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS

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 increased by 0.24% resulting in $1,017,111 of total management fees for the period ended March 31, 2007. 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

 

95


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

2.00% over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was decreased by 0.13% resulting in $2,582,621 of total management fees for the year ended March 31, 2007. 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.

The Adviser has agreed in an operating expenses agreement with the Trust to limit each Fund’s expenses as described in the table below. The operating expenses agreement has a one-year term, renewable at the end of each fiscal year. Each Fund has agreed to reimburse the Adviser, for a period of up to three years, for any such payments to the extent that the Fund’s operating expenses are otherwise below its expense cap (excluding the AlphaTrak 500 Fund and the Strategic Income Fund, which shall reimburse the Adviser to the extent that the Fund’s other expenses as described in the Prospectus, are below an agreed-upon cap). The Adviser’s obligation will not be recorded as a liability on the books of the applicable Fund to the extent that the total operating expenses (other expenses with respect to the AlphaTrak 500 Fund and the Strategic Income Fund) of the Fund are at or above the expense cap. However, if the total operating expenses (other expenses with respect to the AlphaTrak 500 Fund and the Strategic Income Fund) of a Fund fall below the expense cap, the reimbursement to the Adviser (up to the cap) will be accrued by the Fund as a liability if the Adviser seeks to recoup those amounts and the independent trustees have approved that reimbursement. The Adviser may not request or receive reimbursement from a Fund for prior reductions or reimbursements before the payment of a Fund’s operating expenses for the Year. Investment advisory fees and related voluntary expense limitations for the period ended March 31, 2007, were as follows:

 

     Investment Advisory Fee

   0.00 - 0.70     N/A     0.20 - 0.90     N/A  

For the year ended March 31, 2007, the Adviser recouped $16,227 of waived or reimbursed expenses from the Strategic Income Fund.

At March 31, 2007, the balance of recoupable expenses with expiration dates for the Funds were as follows:

 

     2008    2009    2010    Total

Ultra Short Bond Fund

   $ 227,203    $ 206,505    $ 178,062    $ 611,770

Low Duration Bond Fund

     221,508      177,911      224,360      623,779

     284,745      256,059      225,766      766,570

High Yield Bond Fund

     186,455      182,919      191,390      560,764

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. Each of the independent trustees receives an annual retainer of $12,000 and $3,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees attended. The Trust has an unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) for certain eligible Trustees. The Plan allows Trustees to defer some or all of their annual trustees’ fees otherwise payable by the Trust for a minimum of three years. The fees deferred are posted to a bookkeeping account maintained by the Trust. The various series of the Trust will use the returns on those Funds selected by the Trustee to determine the income, gains and losses to allocate to the account. At the time for commencing distributions from a Trustee’s deferral account, which is no later than when the Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board of Trustees, deferred fees will be paid out in a single sum in cash or a maximum of ten annual installments.

6. SHARE MARKETING (12b-1) Plan

The Trust has a Share Marketing Plan (or “the Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act with respect to AlphaTrak 500 Fund, and Class M shares of the Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund, and the Strategic Income Fund. The Total Return Bond Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund began accruing for Rule 12b-1 expenses on April 1, 2000. The High Yield Bond Fund began accruing for Rule 12b-1 expenses on October 2, 2002. The Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, and the Strategic Income Fund began accruing for Rule 12b-1 expenses on July 2, 2003. Under the Plan, the Trust pays PFPC Distributors, Inc., as the Trust’s distribution coordinator, an annual fee up to 0.25% of each Fund’s aggregate average daily net assets to reimburse expenses in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares of the respective Fund. The Adviser has undertaken to limit the Rule 12b-1 expenses to 0.16% for the Ultra Short Bond Fund, 0.19% for the Low Duration Bond Fund, and 0.21% for the Intermediate Bond Fund and the Total Return Bond Fund, for the year ended March 31, 2007. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund is currently not incurring Rule 12b-1 fees.

8. LINE OF CREDIT:

The High Yield Bond Fund and Strategic Income Fund may borrow money to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act, and as interpreted, modified or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time. This means that, in general, these Funds may borrow money from banks for any purpose on a secured basis in an amount up to  1/3 of the Fund’s total assets. These Funds may also borrow for temporary administrative purposes on an unsecured basis in an amount not to exceed 5% of the Fund’s total assets. The Low Duration Bond Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, and Total Return Bond Fund each may borrow for temporary, emergency or investment purposes up to 5% of its total assets. This borrowing may be unsecured. The Funds have access to an unsecured line of credit up to $25,000,000 from the custodian for temporary borrowing purposes. There were no borrowings from the line of credit during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.

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 the 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the 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, the Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund, the Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund, the Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Fund, the Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund, the Metropolitan West Strategic Income Fund, and the Metropolitan West AlphaTrak 500 Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), including the schedules of portfolio investments, as of March 31, 2007 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 and 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. Our audits 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 Portfolios’ 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, 2007, 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 positions of the Funds as of March 31, 2007, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Approval of Renewal of Investment Management Agreement

(Unaudited)

At an in-person meeting of the Board held on November 13, 2006, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered approval of the Investment Management Agreement, which ultimately became effective on February 21, 2007 with respect to each Fund (the “New Agreement”).

In determining to approve the New Agreement, the Trustees considered that they had approved the continuation of the prior agreement, the terms of which are substantially identical to the New Agreement, for an additional one-year period, at their meeting on May 22, 2006. A summary of factors considered by the Trustees at that time is provided below under “Factors considered by the Trustees in connection with the recent approval of Existing Agreement.” To the extent deemed necessary in their business judgment, the Trustees reconsidered these factors during their meeting on November 13, 2006.

On November 13, 2006, the Trustees met with representatives of the Adviser, who discussed with the Trustees the Adviser’s expectations as to the unchanged management and operations of the Adviser after the repurchase transaction involving ownership of the Adviser, and the continuing roles of the current portfolio management teams in the management of each of the Funds.

The Trustees considered that it is not anticipated that there will be any change in the personnel who are engaged in the portfolio management of any Fund as a result of the transaction, and that there will be no increase in the advisory fees or the total expenses for current shareholders of any of the existing Funds as a result of the transaction. The Trustees considered that the terms of the New Agreement are materially and substantially identical to those of the prior agreement.

On the basis of these factors, the Trustees concluded that it would be in the best interests of each of the Funds to continue to be advised by the Adviser, and voted unanimously, including the unanimous vote of the Independent Trustees present at that meeting, to approve the New Agreement, including the advisory fees proposed in the New Agreement, in respect of each of the Funds for a two-year period commencing immediately following the later of consummation of the repurchase transaction and shareholder approval of the New Agreement, and to recommend to shareholders of each Fund that they approve the New Agreement, as well.

Factors Considered by the Trustees in Connection with the Most Recent Approval of the Prior Agreement

On May 22, 2006, the Trust’s Board approved the renewal of the prior agreement for an additional one-year term through the next annual meeting of the Board expected in May 2007 (subsequent events led to the Board reviewing and approving a new agreement in November 2006; described above). The renewal of the agreement was approved by the Board (including a majority of the Independent Trustees) upon the recommendation of the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees 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 Trustees 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 Trustees reviewed advice regarding legal and industry standards provided by legal counsel to the Trust, which is not independent legal counsel. The Independent Trustees 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

 

104


Approval of Renewal of Investment Management Agreement (continued)

 

Independent Trustees 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. The Board was cognizant of, and considered, factors required for its consideration under applicable rules issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 relatively 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. Among other favorable public press concerning the Adviser and the Funds, the Board recognized the Adviser’s selection by Morningstar, Inc. as fixed-income manager of the year for The Total Return Bond Fund for 2005. (Morningstar designates a “Fund Manager of the Year” in three categories each year based on its own research and an in-depth evaluation by its editorial staff. Morningstar analysts base this designation on a number of criteria, including calendar year returns, long-term results, durable strategies, and stewardship.)

The Board and the Independent Trustees 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 periods. In reviewing each Fund’s relative performance, the Board took into account any 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, and in some cases very favorable, particularly from a longer-term perspective, which the Board believes is the most relevant. The Adviser explained that the performance comparison benchmark for the Strategic Income Fund does not exemplify the Fund’s investment style and, therefore, the Fund’s relative underperformance does not provide a useful comparison. The Adviser further explained that the Strategic Income Fund is somewhat unique and why it is difficult to find a fully adequate comparison group for it. (See further discussion in paragraph 4 below.) The Board ultimately concluded that the Adviser was implementing each Fund’s investment objective and the Adviser’s record in managing the Funds indicates that its continued management should 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 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

 

105


Approval of Renewal of Investment Management Agreement (continued)

 

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 mutual funds.

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

The Independent Trustees 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 Trustees recognized that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund. Based on their review, the Independent Trustees 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 Trustees 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 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. The Board also recognized that the Funds benefit from receiving investment advice from an organization with other types of advisory clients rather than strictly mutual funds.

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 overall review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above (and others), the Board and the Independent Trustees 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.

     (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 in 2007 and none in 2006.

 

  (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 $468,975 in 2007 and $538,250 in 2006.

 

  (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.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

  (b) There were no changes in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
