As of March 31, 2008, the total assets managed in the seven Fund strategies exceeded $8.5 billion, demonstrating year-over-year growth from $5 billion in assets at March 31, 2007. This growth came as a result of increased sponsorship of the funds by both institutional and individual investors, to whom we are grateful and committed to delivering upon the expectations vested in us.

Economic Review and Market Environment

Not surprisingly, the pace of economic growth slowed sharply in the last two quarters, as troubles afflicting the primary drivers of economic expansion over the past several years - finance, housing and construction - manifest themselves in the broader economy. Whether it was the lagged effect of Federal Reserve tightening between 2004 and 2006 or simply a collapse under the weight of unsustainable levels of home price appreciation (with attendant measures of speculation and initial appearances of fraud in certain sectors), it was clear as we worked through the first quarter of 2008 that a period of adjustment was afoot in the residential housing market as accumulated excesses were worked off from the latest financial bubble.

For the past several months, across readings of economic activity, the evidence of slowdown has been clear: unemployment jumped over 5% from 4.4% a year earlier, both Institute for Supply Management Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing Indexes persistently flirted with recessionary levels, and consumer confidence plummeted. To confound matters (and Fed policy considerations), inflation remained stubbornly elevated, with oil pushing well over $100 per barrel, gold jumping to $1,000 per ounce, and grain price hikes becoming epidemic.

Despite the inflationary pressure, the Fed accelerated its pace of easing in the first quarter of 2008, punctuated by a reduction of 125 basis points over a period of eight days in late January, as word came of a massive trading catastrophe unfolding in Europe, after what had already been seven months of growing skittishness in the global capital markets. Certainly the Fed had considerable cover for its action in the weakening economic data, but it is unlikely to have acted with the same alacrity based on the economy alone, especially given the faltering U.S. Dollar and steep commodities pricing.

So what about those capital markets? With risk aversion in full swing and investors pulling back - voluntarily or otherwise - the domestic markets set about a massive and painful deleveraging process. In the midst of this environment, leveraged investors -financial intermediaries and certain hedge funds, in particular - find themselves in the crosshairs, most notably those with direct and derivative exposure in the residential mortgage markets, especially those collateralized by loans to sub-prime borrowers. As a result, the need to shrink balance sheets full of assets acquired with leverage has led to imbalances in the markets, as even very solid investments have re-priced downward due to a shortage of available buyers. In such times, prices must adjust so that the assets may move from weak hands into strong hands, and in the current environments, we are seeing such an episode. While it is likely that we saw the peak of fear in March as venerable Bear Stearns stood at the doorstep of collapse (only to be rescued in a New York Fed-engineered “buyout” by JP Morgan), it will no doubt be a bump road ahead, as ongoing adjustments are effected. In addition to its reduction of the Fed Funds rate (and matchmaking of last resort noted above), this Fed has been especially active in unprecedented fashion by attempting to target liquidity to banks and broker-dealers, all in the name of preserving system integrity and to facilitate the deleveraging process.

Illustrating the conditions, broad-based US Treasury issues earned 8.6% in the past six months and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) gained 10.4%. Though still a solid return, Agency mortgages lagged Treasury issues, gaining 5.7%, the underperformance associated with spread widening across the spread sectors. Investment grade corporate bonds edged up by 1.8%, though their high yield counterparts lost 4.3%. However, the most shocking performance came in the asset-backed sector, where investments in home equity collateral (the address for subprime) fell by more than 20% in the six months ended March 31,

2008. This occurred despite largely AAA ratings at issuance and levels of collateral protection that suggest even Depression-like conditions in the mortgage markets would see these structures largely repaid. No doubt, as we will discuss below in attributing some of the challenged performance across the Funds, this had a significant impact on recent returns, but represents a potentially valuable opportunity in assessing go-forward conditions and expectations that pricing will revert to a fundamental basis rather than continue on a technical basis, i.e., supply-demand driven.

The Economy and Market Ahead

As the aforementioned deleveraging process unfolds, lower consumer spending, tightening credit for both consumers and corporations, falling home values, rising unemployment, and higher energy prices augur for a slowing economy for the next two to three quarters. The intermediate-term outlook suggests two to three years of below-trend growth as excess inventory is worked off in the housing market, restoring equilibrium. Unemployment will likely continue to increase and despite upward pressure from a weak dollar, high commodity prices, and Fed easing, inflation should remain contained due to slackening demand. The current capital market experience is not altogether different than the 1990, 1994, 1998, and 2002 episodes, but perhaps broader and deeper. Despite the challenges, the deleveraging process will set the stage for an improved outlook and ultimate recovery. This purging process often leads to assets (both good and bad) trading below their long-term fundamental value. As a value investor, Metropolitan West will look to take advantage of the conditions to capture premium risk-adjusted returns across the Funds.

Overall, portfolio durations remain near-neutral to benchmark levels, while structures are still designed to profit from a steep yield curve. We remain wary of corporate bonds, as we expect profit margins to be subject to the pressure of a tepid economy. Therefore, portfolio holdings will be focused on shorter maturities of higher quality issuers, with strong covenants and solid asset protection, in addition to cheaply priced debt of major financial franchises. Among mortgage-and asset-backed markets, opportunities are becoming legion across Agency and non-Agency (including subprime and Alt-A) issues as indiscriminate investors shed holdings notwithstanding the integrity of the underlying collateral.

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

Fund Results

General Performance Commentary

Without a doubt, the past six to twelve months have seen the most challenging market conditions in years. At the beginning of 2007, the portfolio management team at Metropolitan West Asset Management was noting a relatively low volatility environment as lacking much in the way of return opportunity appropriately compensating for prospective risk. With large imbalances in the housing sector, macro risks in the US economy were increasing. In addition, security valuations appeared rich across most sectors. As such, MWAM attempted to position the Funds defensively (albeit with an eye toward identifying areas of attractive relative value). Fast forwarding to the middle of 2007, when subterranean cracks broke through the surface in the form of mortgage hedge fund failures at Bear Stearns, capital markets - save government debt, per usual - became incredibly constricted as liquidity evaporated. The upshot was significant deterioration across the risk markets - no real surprise there. However, what was surprising was the degree of weakness in higher quality, better protected assets that have typically weathered the storms of market corrections with only modest increases in yields or declines in price.

As depicted below and in the pages ahead, the investment performance across the Metropolitan West Funds has reflected the market challenges and has disappointed in the short-term. Nonetheless, MWAM remains confident in the construction of the portfolios and optimistic about the prospects of recovering the performance deficit of the past several months, as liquidity conditions improve and the demand for attractive assets increases. About markets, it is often said that participants lose their heads in frothy markets, and that they lose their nerve when the market tumbles. Regarding lost nerve, March 2008 was such a month. By maintaining our vigilance through this period, and similar times in the past, MWAM will look to take advantage of the considerable risk-adjusted value that presents itself as less committed and less knowledgeable investors head for the exits.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The returns shown do not take into account taxes on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Current performance may be lower or higher. 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. Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an unmanaged index assumes no transaction costs, taxes, management fees or other expenses. A direct investment in an index is not possible.

The net expense ratio reflects a contractual agreement by the Adviser to reduce its fees and/or absorb expenses to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses for the current fiscal year. The Adviser voluntarily extended the agreement for the current fiscal year and expects to renew contractual expense limitation each year in May. Without fee waivers, returns would have been lower. For additional expense ratio information, please refer to the Financial Highlights section of the report.

Management Discussion of Ultra Short Bond Fund Performance

Notwithstanding an orientation toward defensive (as measured by average security quality rating) positioning in the Ultra Short Bond Fund, performance lagged the benchmark over the past six months due to sector allocation to (and significant mark-to-market repricing across) non-Treasury holdings in the portfolio. The repricing to the downside, which Fund managers do not expect to be permanent, was the result of broad-based investor deleveraging and the associated withdrawal of market liquidity, much of it owing to concerns over the ultimate value of the underlying collateral against which residential loans were made. A relatively neutral positioning of portfolio duration versus that of the benchmark produced little performance distinction from the Index. With portfolio structure emphasizing expectations for a steeper Treasury yield curve, that particular strategy was additive as the Fed eased, steepening the curve.

Management Discussion of Low Duration Bond Fund Performance

As with the broad positioning of MWAM portfolios, the Low Duration Bond Fund has maintained an orientation toward high quality (as measured by average security quality rating) over the past several quarters. Despite this defensiveness, Fund performance lagged the benchmark over the past six months due to sector allocation to (and significant mark-to-market repricing across) non- Treasury holdings in the portfolio. The repricing to the downside, which Fund managers do not expect to be permanent, was the result of broad-based investor deleveraging and the associated withdrawal of market liquidity, much of it owing to concerns over the ultimate value of the underlying collateral against which residential loans were made.

Management Discussion of Intermediate Bond Fund Performance

Despite an orientation toward defensive (as measured by average security quality rating) positioning in the Intermediate Bond Fund, performance lagged the benchmark over the past six months due to sector allocation to and significant mark-to-market repricing across non-Index mortgage- and asset-backed Fund holdings. The repricing to the downside, which Fund managers do not expect to be permanent, was the result of broad-based investor deleveraging and the associated withdrawal of market liquidity, much of it owing to concerns over the ultimate value of the underlying collateral against which residential loans were made. A relatively neutral positioning of portfolio duration versus that of the benchmark produced little performance distinction from the Index. With portfolio structure emphasizing expectations for a steeper Treasury yield curve, that particular strategy was additive as the Fed eased, steepening the curve. Though a cautious outlook toward corporates guided an underweight position to the sector, the result being a net positive to performance, it was more than negated by the aforementioned allocations in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, which underperformed the benchmark by a wide margin in the recent environment.

Management Discussion of Total Return Bond Fund Performance

Notwithstanding an orientation toward defensive (as measured by average security quality rating) positioning in the Total Return Bond Fund, performance lagged the benchmark over the past six months due to significant mark-to-market repricing across non-Index mortgage- and asset-backed Fund holdings. The repricing to the downside, which Fund managers do not expect to be permanent, was the result of broad-based investor deleveraging and the associated withdrawal of market liquidity, much of it owing to concerns over the ultimate value of the underlying collateral against which residential loans were made. A relatively neutral positioning of portfolio duration versus that of the benchmark produced little performance distinction from the Index. With portfolio structure emphasizing expectations for a steeper Treasury yield curve, that particular strategy was additive as the Fed eased, steepening the curve. From a sector standpoint, a modest overweight to Government securities produced incremental return as the Treasury market outperformed the broad index. Also, a cautious outlook toward corporates guided an underweight position, the result being a net positive to performance.

Management Discussion of High Yield Bond Fund Performance

With an emphasis toward higher quality and the better security afforded by bank loans, the positioning of the High Yield Bond Fund was established to outperform handily in a challenging market environment across sub-investment grade corporate issues. Due to the conditions of deleveraging, bank loans, too, became widespread sale candidates over the past several months as investors looked to shed holdings, thus putting pressure on pricing similar to the broader high yield market at a time when such holdings would have been expected to outperform. In addition, the Fund also began in late 2007 to put on securitized positions from the severely dislocated residential mortgage-backed securities. As pricing remained weak through the first quarter of 2008, the allocation added little to Fund return.

Management Discussion of Strategic Income Fund Performance

The deleveraging of the capital markets found substantial disappointment in the returns of the Strategic Income Fund over the past six months. With investments across securitized markets such as bank loans, aircraft enhanced equipment trust certificates, and higher quality areas of the mortgage-backed markets, Fund holdings faced mark-to-market repricing that dragged down returns. Though the diversification of the portfolio produced benefits through strategies designed to gain modestly from yield curve steepening, it certainly was not significant enough to overcome the price adjustment inspired by the intensified risk aversion characterizing the market in late March. With the managers holding the view that considerable value lays trapped within the Fund awaiting improved market sentiment, or simply, security maturities, the yield (and, thus, prospective return) on the Fund has increased sharply and MWAM’s expectations remain that the recent performance deficit is subject to reversal in the months and quarters ahead.

A Consistent Long-Term Value Orientation

In closing, MWAM remains committed to a philosophy rooted in a value orientation 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,

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. The AlphaTrak 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 March 31, 2008, 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.

The performance data quoted in the various graphs on this and the preceding pages represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained at www.mwamllc.com. Returns are due in part to market conditions which may not be repeated in the future. 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.

The performance tables and graphs do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Unlike an index, the Fund’s total returns are reduced by transaction costs, taxes, management fees and other expenses.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses

For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 December 31, 2007. The Funds’ Form N-Q is 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.

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 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 non-leveraged 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 (the “Board’). 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) 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 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. 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 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. The fair valued securities at March 31, 2008 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 distributions daily and pay them monthly to shareholders. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund expects to declare and pay distributions to shareholders quarterly. Distributions of net capital gains, if any, will be made at least annually. The Board may determine to declare and make distributions more or less frequently.

 

128


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.

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.

The Funds adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on September 29, 2007. The implementation of FIN48 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning net asset value of the Funds.

As of and during the period ended March 31, 2008, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2004, by state tax authorities for tax years before 2003 and by tax authorities outside the U.S. for tax years before 2000.

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.

Recent accounting pronouncements:

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 SFAS 157 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, 2008, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements reported on the statement of changes in net assets for a fiscal period.

In March 2008, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”) and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. Management is currently evaluating the implications of SFAS 161. The impact on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

 

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

 

129


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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 Freddie Mac and similar United States Government sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae, 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 U.S. Government.

The Funds may also invest in Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”). 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.

 

130


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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, 2008, 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 Board. The Funds also may invest in stripped mortgage-backed securities that are privately issued. These securities will be considered illiquid for purposes of each Fund’s limit on illiquid securities.

The Funds may purchase participations in commercial loans, or may purchase assignments of such loans. Such indebtedness may be secured or unsecured. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in a loan to a corporate borrower, and generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending syndicates. The Funds may participate in such syndications, or can buy part of a loan, becoming a part lender. When purchasing loan participations, a Fund assumes the credit risk associated with the corporate borrower and may assume the credit risk associated with an interposed bank or other financial intermediary. The participation interests in which a Fund intends to invest may not be rated by any nationally recognized rating service. Participations and assignments also involve special types of risk, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risk of being a lender. If the Fund purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender, and may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower.

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.

 

131


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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, 2008 was $50,684,333 and 4.82%, respectively. The maximum amount of reverse repurchase agreements opened during the year for the Strategic Income Fund was $81,452,000 which occurred in January 2008.

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.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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, 2008, 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. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, Low Duration Bond Fund, Total Return Bond Fund, and AlphaTrak 500 Fund have received and recorded as realized gains $3,666,688, $7,864,634 and $377,282, respectively.

 

4. RISK CONSIDERATIONS

Market Risk: Because the values of the Funds’ investments will fluctuate with market conditions, so will the value of your investment in the Funds. You could lose money on your investment in the Funds or the Funds could underperform other investments.

Liquidity Risk: The Funds’ investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Funds because they may not be able to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. Investments in high yield securities, foreign securities, derivatives or other securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the greatest exposure to liquidity risk. Certain investments in private placements and Rule 144A securities may be considered illiquid investments. The Funds may invest in private placements and Rule 144A securities.

Interest Rate Risk: The values of the Funds’ investments fluctuate in response to movements in interest rates. If rates rise, the values of debt securities generally fall. The longer the average duration of the Funds’ investment portfolio, the greater the change in value.

Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Each Fund may invest in mortgage-backed or other asset-backed securities. The values of some mortgaged-backed or other asset-backed securities may expose a Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. When interest rates rise, the value of mortgage-related securities generally will decline; however, when interest rates are declining, the value of mortgage related-securities with prepayment features may not increase as much as other fixed income securities. The rate of prepayments on underlying mortgages will affect the price and volatility of a mortgage-related security, and may shorten or extend the effective maturity of the security beyond what was anticipated at the time of purchase. If unanticipated rate of prepayment on underlying mortgages increase the effective maturity of a mortgage-related security, the volatility of the security can be expected to increase. The value of these securities may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers. Additionally, although mortgages and mortgage-related securities are generally supported by some form of government or private guarantee and/or insurance, there is no assurance that private guarantors or insurers will meet their obligations.

Derivatives Risk: Use of derivatives, which at times is an important part of the Funds’ investment strategy, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. Investments in derivatives could cause the Funds to lose more than the principal amount invested. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Funds will engage in these transactions to reduce exposure to other risks when that would be beneficial.

Credit Risk: The values of any of the Funds’ investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The value of some mortgage-related securities in which the Funds invest also may fall because of unanticipated levels of principal prepayments that can occur when interest rates decline.

Certain of the Funds invest a material portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage and asset backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and

 

133


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Though the Funds have not been adversely impacted, continuing shifts in the market’s perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain issuers held by the Funds.

Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and Asset-backed securities (ABS) are characterized and classified in a variety of different ways. These classifications include a view of the securities’ cash flow structure (pass-through, sequential pay, prepayment-protected, interest-only, principal-only, etc.), the security of the claim on the underlying assets, (senior, mezzanine and subordinated), as well as types of underlying collateral (prime conforming loans, prime non-conforming loans, alt-A loans, subprime loans, commercial loans, etc.) In many cases, the classification incorporates a degree of subjectivity: a particular loan might be categorized as “prime” by the underwriting standards of one mortgage issuer while another might classify the loan as “subprime.” In addition to other functions, the risk associated with an investment in a mortgage loan must take into account the nature of the collateral, the form and the level of credit enhancement, the vintage of the loan, the geography of the loan, the purpose of the loan (refinance vs. purchase vs. equity take-out), the borrower’s credit quality (e.g. FICO score), and whether the loan is a first trust deed or a second lien.

The mortgage industry lacks a single bright-line as to what separates a subprime loan from an alt-A loan. Often it is a combination of loan characteristics involving both borrower criteria as well as collateral criteria that determine which category a loan is placed in. However, in order to be both conservative and objective as possible, the Advisor applied the following criteria to the Funds’ residential mortgage and asset-backed holdings in coming up with its categorizations:

Sub Prime - Any asset-backed bond whose collateral was residential mortgages were considered to be subprime, provided that the loans did not belong to the classification of manufactured housing loans.

Alt-A - Any mortgage-backed security whose average borrower FICO score was less than 730 and/or was listed as an alt-A pool by Bloomberg were considered to be Alt-A bonds.

6. 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

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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 an annualized margin of 1.00% over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was decreased by 0.34% resulting in $11,259 of total management fees for the year ended March 31, 2008. 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 2.00% over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was decreased by 0.52% resulting in $3,116,813 of total management fees for the year ended March 31, 2008.

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, 2008, were as follows:

 

     Investment Advisory Fee

    Voluntary Expense

     Class M     Class I     Class M     Class I

     2009    2010    2011    Total

Ultra Short Bond Fund

   $ 206,505    $ 178,062    $ 115,430    $ 499,997

Low Duration Bond Fund

     177,911      224,360      173,746      576,017

Total Return Bond Fund

     256,059      225,766      155,516      637,341

High Yield Bond Fund

     182,919      191,390      180,613      554,922

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 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, deferred fees will be paid out in a single sum in cash or a maximum of ten annual installments.

7. 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, 2008. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund is currently not incurring Rule 12b-1 fees.

11. 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, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of the Metropolitan West Funds (the “Trust”) comprising the Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Low Duration Bond Fund, the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Total Return Bond Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund, the Strategic Income Fund, and the AlphaTrak 500 Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) as of March 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations and statement of cash flows for the Strategic Income Fund for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the portfolios constituting the Metropolitan West Funds as of March 31, 2008, the results of their operations and the cash flows where applicable for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods presented in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(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 0%.
(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 $553,825 for 2008 and $468,975 for 2007.
(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.
