METROPOLITAN WEST FUNDS

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

We thank you for your continued investment with the Metropolitan West Funds. In this Annual Report, we are pleased to report that participation across the MetWest Funds surpassed $10 billion as 2009 came to end, and proceeded to reach $11.2 billion at the end of March. Also in the category of milestones, the I-Class shares for the Total Return and Low Duration Funds reached their 10-year anniversaries as the two strategies, including the M-Class shares, remain the leading draw among the MetWest Funds.

The March 31, 2010 Annual Report for the Metropolitan West Funds covers the following:

 

Metropolitan West Ultra Short Bond Fund    M-Class (MWUSX), I-Class (MWUIX)
Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund    M-Class (MWLDX), I-Class (MWLIX),
   Administrative-Class (MWLNX)
Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund    M-Class (MWIMX), I-Class (MWIIX)

Metropolitan West AlphaTrak 500 Fund    M-Class (MWATX)

MetWest Organizational Update

During the first quarter of 2010, the acquisition of the Funds’ advisor Metropolitan West Asset Management LLC by the TCW Group was completed. We are excited by the benefits offered by this combination in terms of the expanded resource and capability with which to serve our clients. Most importantly, the investment team historically responsible for the management of the Funds remains solidly in place to continue the value-oriented approach to building portfolios. As part of the process of gaining the required approval for the merger, you received ballot materials to register your vote on the merger. We are aware that many shareholders were contacted by a proxy solicitor to further our efforts to obtain the required volume of client response. To the extent that the solicitor may have inconvenienced our shareholders with multiple entreaties, please accept our apologies and our assurances that future ballot measures affecting the Funds will incorporate the most efficient and least intrusive practices to achieve the appropriate election objectives.

On another note, we are proud to report that the MetWest High Yield team was nominated in late 2009 for Fixed Income Fund Manager of the Year recognition, an honor conferred by Morningstar upon managers that have demonstrated strong short- and long-term performance records, while being effective overall stewards for shareholder assets. Though the winner turned out to be another deserving fund manager when the announcement was made in January, the identification by Morningstar of the MetWest High Yield team among the leaders in the industry was a gratifying development. In the relatively short history of the Funds, MetWest has been a nominee three times for the Morningstar accolade, with Manager of the Year recognition in 2005 for the Total Return Fund.

Economic Review and Market Environment

Though it may be cliché and could overstate the present health of the economy and investment markets, what a difference a year makes. In the early part of 2009, the US economy was beset by a substantial contraction in GDP, still-accelerating unemployment, and continuing volatility across the capital markets. The US Government was pulling out all the stops in monetary accommodation as it resorted to quantitative easing, as well as applying traditional (near-$1 trillion spending package) and innovative (TermAsset-Backed Securities Loan Facility – TALF, among others) stimulus in order to spark economic activity and restore function in the credit sectors. One year forward, we are seeing some momentum to economic recovery and a degree of enthusiasm among investors that was unthinkable in late 2008 and into 2009.

Fourth quarter GDP growth was finalized at 5.6% and even though the number was amplified by a build of inventories rather than a jump in final demand, there was a degree of optimism suggested by the increase. Moreover, while unemployment stuck near 10%, nonfarm payrolls grew by 162 thousand during the first quarter, the first quarterly gain since the fourth quarter of 2007 (and sharply contrasted with the 2.3 million jobs lost in the first quarter of last year). The Index of Leading Economic Indicators has posted 12 consecutive increases, though driven largely by effects of a steep yield curve and not an upward spike in the real economy type of factors (i.e., new orders) that make up the composite. Despite extension and expansion of the homebuyer credit, sales volumes and prices unexpectedly dipped early in 2010, though a pickup in activity is anticipated ahead of the latest expiration, now slated for April month-end.

Liquidity prevailed in the US markets and risk aversion seemed to be on the wane, at least at the start and the end of the quarter. Sandwiched in between was some concern, first as related to financial reform, and then due to fiscal challenges and sovereign debt

woes, most notably in Greece. Nonetheless, the performance environment was solid for equities, with the S&P 500 up 5.4%, and bonds, as the Barclays Aggregate Index gained 1.8% and the High Yield component added 4.6% (while going up more than 56% year-over-year).

Specific to the sectors in the bond market, an easing in US Treasury rates on the absence of inflationary pressure netted some price gains and a 1.1% quarterly return, though the spread sectors of corporate and mortgage-backed securities continued their trend of recent outperformance. Corporate bonds advanced 1.9%, paced in investment grade by the broad BBB-rated cohort at 2.9% and BBB-rated Financials at 5.7%. Similarly, down-quality led in high yield, with CCCs up 4.1% and the C-D category up nearly 7.5%. AmongAgency pass-throughs, technicals remained firm even as the government’s $1.5 trillion purchase program was set to expire. Announcements that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would buy out of their pools substantially all loans more than 120 days delinquent put a dent in the performance of higher coupon mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and pools with higher relative delinquencies, and dropped prices on more specialized structures such as IOs and inverse IOs. Finally, like corporate bonds, non-Agency RMBS (backed byAlt-A and subprime collateral) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) benefited from the continuation of market liquidity, precipitated in part in the CMBS market by the reappearance of leverage, driving returns higher in that sector by nearly 9%.

The Economy and Market Ahead

As markets appear to be pricing much-improved expectations, investors would be advised to exercise caution, particularly given headwinds that persist in the economy. Though signs of recovery are apparent, there is no shortage of circumstances that could provide some basis for setback. Most significantly, we see a continuation of private balance sheet deleveraging contrasted with massive increase of public sector debt. Ultimately, resolution of increased government leverage can be expected to take place through a rapid increase to GDP, higher taxes, austerity, inflation or a combination of all. This will be anticipated to occur against a backdrop against where the Fed appears set to begin removing monetary accommodation (effected by a hike to the discount rate of 25 basis points in the first quarter) and winding down other programs, such as the recently concluded $1.25 trillion purchase of Agency mortgage-backed securities. Despite the hike to the discount rate, the Fed is likely on hold with the Funds Rate until unemployment eases and other indicators demonstrate that productive slack is being taken up in the economy.

Strategy across the Funds remains largely consistent with previous positioning though the robust rally has informed some modest adjustments. Most particularly, the allocation to corporates has been eased, with modest trimming taking place in financials (though still maintaining the industry overweight to financials). CMBS holdings, similarly, have been pared in response to the performance strength of the past year, though the overweight relative to the Index remains, with continuing focus on the well-protected senior tranches. Among non-Agency MBS, overall exposure has held steady, though relative value trading opportunities have been exploited to enhance the risk-adjusted profile of the sector allocation. Despite benign consumer price signals in the near-term, the Fund’s duration remains short relative to the benchmark, the perspective being that a rapid increase in US Treasury supply has the potential to ramp up inflationary expectations quickly. Finally, with the yield curve remaining steep due to the ongoing monetary accommodation of the Federal Reserve, the Fund’s term structure favors intermediate maturities that will become more broadly distributed as the Fed gets closer to a rate hike.

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

Fund Results

General Performance Commentary

Writing in our September 30, 2009 Semi-Annual Report, we commented on the sharp increase in capital market pricing over the prior six months as a move toward better alignment with fundamental value, as the experience between the middle of 2007 and early 2009 had, in our view, gone too far in imposing a crisis premium. With liquidity conditions remaining favorable, the last six months in the markets produced generally good returns, outside of US Treasury and other “full faith and credit” government issues, which were lackluster as yields edged higher and the term structure steepened. Though returns over the last six months in equities and the “spread” sectors of the fixed income markets were not as robust as the prior six months, the S&P 500 gained nearly 12%, while high yield bonds advanced 11%, and CMBS jumped 13%. Even the investment grade corporate market remained firm, broadly returning just under 4%, while BBB-rated issues returned more than 5%.

Given a general underweight to the lagging returns of the US Treasury market across the Funds, the trend of positive performance relative to the benchmark indexes was extended over the past six months. In particular, the ongoing emphasis in corporate issues, notably financials, and non-Agency RMBS has drove the premium returns of the past two quarters (as with the prior two also), with nearly all of the Funds picking up considerable outperformance, as indicated in the pages ahead. Only the HighYield Fund, due to a higher quality focus in its construction, lagged over the reporting period, as lower-rated issues, which the HighYield Fund remains underweight, traded up to and in excess of fundamental value, in our investment opinion. Despite the lack of emphasis to the lower quality cohorts, the High Yield Fund has participated near-completely in the market advance over the past 16 months.

The performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher. Due to recent favorable market conditions, some of the Funds have experienced unusually high performance which may not be sustainable or repeated in the future. 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.

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 until March 31, 2011. Without fee waivers, returns would have been lower. For additional expense ratio information, please refer to the Financial Highlights section of the report.

A Consistent Long-Term Value Orientation

As we noted in the Semi-Annual report six months ago, the capital market recovery that was underway was not especially surprising. Bull and bear market cycles, punctuated by periods of greed and panic, are not likely to be repealed, no matter the “lessons learned” or attempts at financial reform. Through the cycles, we remain committed to a value-oriented discipline and a long-term perspective, with a firm belief that the best risk-adjusted outcomes accrue to the disciplined, vigilant and opportunistic investors.

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

Sincerely,

Metropolitan West Funds

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. TheAlphaTrak 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 2010, 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, 2010 (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.

The maximum potential payment the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap agreement.

c

The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represents the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

b

The maximum potential payment the Fund could be required to make as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of the swap agreement.

 

c

The quoted market prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represents the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement been closed/sold as of the period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

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 (the “1940 Act” 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 HighYield Bond Fund (the “HighYield Bond Fund”), Metropolitan West Strategic Income Fund (the “Strategic Income Fund”), and Metropolitan WestAlphaTrak 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 – Class M commenced investment operations on June 29, 1998. The Intermediate Bond Fund – Class I commenced operations on June 28, 2002. The HighYield Bond Fund – Class M commenced operations on September 30, 2002. The HighYield 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 Low Duration Bond Fund - Administrative Class commenced operations on September 23, 2009. The Total Return Bond Fund -Administrative Class commenced operations on December 18, 2009.

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 techniques intended to provide absolute (positive) returns in all markets by employing a strategy intended to produce high income while exploiting disparities or inefficiencies in markets. The Fund will focus on inefficiencies related to secured or asset-backed debt compared with unsecured and subordinated debt or equity of companies and issuers. Additionally, the Fund will focus on longer-term cyclical anomalies in the fixed income markets to both enhance yield and realize potential price appreciation. These anomalies include: shifts in the portfolio’s duration, yield curve anomalies, and sector and issue-specific dislocations. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in one or more particular issuers than a diversified fund.

The AlphaTrak 500 Fund seeks to achieve a total return that exceeds the total return of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”). The Fund 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.

A more complete description of the objectives and strategies of each of the Funds can be found in the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information, which can be obtained at www.mwamllc.com or by calling (800) 241-4671.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:

Security Valuation:

Fixed-income securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at prices as provided by independent pricing vendors. The Funds receive pricing information from independent pricing vendors approved by the Board of Trustees (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 (e.g. 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.

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.

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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

 

114  /  Annual Report March 2010


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

As of and during the year ended March 31, 2010, 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 year, 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In June 2009, amended guidance was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for transfers of financial assets. This guidance is intended to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2009. Earlier application is prohibited. The recognition and measurement provisions of this guidance must be applied to transfers occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, the enhanced disclosure provisions of the amended guidance should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date of this guidance. The impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In January 2010, the FASB issued amended guidance to improve disclosure about fair value measurements which will require additional disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). It also clarifies existing disclosure requirements relating to the levels of disaggregation for fair value measurement and inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of this guidance on the Funds’ financial statements and disclosures is currently being assessed.

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:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurements:

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments, which are as follows:

* Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

* Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

* Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by observable market data

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

As of March 31, 2010, Level 3 securities consist of certain asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate bonds and interest only securities that trade in over the counter markets. These securities are valued using indicative bid and ask quotations from bond dealers and market makers. Indicative quotations and other information used by the Funds may not always be directly observable in the marketplace due to the nature of these markets and the manner of execution.

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 Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (“FHLMC”). These are fixed income securities that derive their value from or represent interests in a pool of mortgages or mortgage securities. An unexpectedly high rate of defaults on the mortgages held by a mortgage pool may adversely affect the value of a mortgage-backed security and could result in losses to the Funds. The risk of such defaults is generally higher in the case of mortgage pools that include sub-prime mortgages. Sub-prime mortgages refer to loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payments on their mortgages.

Additionally, securities issued by FNMA and FHLMC are not backed by or entitled to the full faith and credit of the United States and are supported by the right to the issuer to borrow from the Treasury.

On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) was appointed as conservator of FNMA and FHLMC. In addition, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has agreed to provide capital as needed to ensure FNMA and FHLMC continue to provide liquidity to the housing and mortgage markets.

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

 

Annual Report March 2010  /  123


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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 enter into to be announced (“TBA”) commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased or sold declines or increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of the Funds’ other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described in Note 2 under “Security Valuation”.

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 ended March 31, 2010, 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.) At March 31, 2010, the Funds did not hold any short debt or equity.

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

 

124  /  Annual Report March 2010


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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 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 Low Duration Bond Fund, Strategic Income Fund and the AlphaTrak 500 Fund for the year ended March 31, 2010 were $4,128,427 and 0.59%, $2,472,184 and 1.76% and $607,896 and 0.57%, respectively.

Derivatives:

The Funds may engage in various portfolio investment strategies both to increase the return of the Fund and to economically hedge, or protect, their exposure to interest rate movements and movements in the securities markets. Losses may arise if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The Funds are subject to credit risk, equity price risk and interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below.

Options – 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 may be unable to close out a position.

The Funds may execute transactions in both listed and over-the-counter options. Listed options involve minimal counterparty risk since listed options are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade. Transactions in certain over-the-counter options may expose the Funds to the risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction. In the event of default by the counterparty to the over-the-counter option transaction, the Fund’s maximum amount of loss is the premium paid (as purchaser) or the unrealized loss of the contract (as writer).

Futures – 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.

Futures transactions involve minimal counterparty risk since futures contracts are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade.

 

Annual Report March 2010  /  125


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Swaps – 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 counterparty.

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, counterparty risk and credit risk.

The Funds may enter into interest rate swap agreements. Interest rate swaps are agreements in which one party pays a floating rate of interest on a notional principal amount and receives a fixed rate of interest on the same notional principal amount for a specified period of time. Alternatively, a party may pay a fixed rate and receive a floating rate. In more complex swaps, the notional principal amount may decline (or amortize) over time. The Funds’ maximum risk of loss due to counterparty default is the discounted net asset value of the cash flows paid to/received from the counterparty over the interest rate swap’s remaining life. The Funds enter into interest rate swaps to manage duration, the yield curve or interest rate risk by economically hedging the value of the fixed rate bonds which may decrease when interest rates rise (interest rate 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. At March 31, 2010, the Funds did not hold swaptions.

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 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.

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 both the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and 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, 2010, 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.

Terminated Swaps Payable and Maturities Receivable from Lehman Brothers:

On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. (“Lehman”) filed for bankruptcy protection. At that time, the Funds had outstanding swap agreements with Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc. (“LBSF”) as the counter-party, which is an affiliate of Lehman. Additionally, Lehman guaranteed LBSF’s obligations under those agreements. The Funds exercised their right under the swap agreements to terminate the contracts due to the bankruptcy filing and recorded corresponding liabilities as Payable for the terminated swaps to reflect the amount of unrealized loss embedded within the swap agreements at the termination date as determined by the Management of the Funds. Additionally, some of the Funds held Lehman notes, some of which as of March 31, 2010 had contractually matured. The Funds have set up receivables at the estimated market value of those matured notes. To estimate the market value of those receivables, the Management of the Funds obtained independent broker prices on the outstanding Lehman notes. The Management of the Funds believes those prices to be representative of current market value.

During March, 2009, the Funds paid LBSF the amounts owed after applying the set-off balances of the notes. During April and May, 2009, LBSF filed complaints in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, against the Total Return Bond Fund and the Low Duration Bond Fund, as well as Metropolitan WestAsset Management LLC (Adv. Proc. No. 09-01165 (JMP)). The complaints allege that the Total Return Bond Fund and the Low Duration Bond Fund owe LBSF $46.2 million and $17.3 million plus interest, respectively, and other unspecified damages.

In January 2010, the Funds reached an agreement through settlement discussions with Lehman. The Funds paid the remaining swap termination balances owed plus interest without applying the benefit of the set-off against the notes receivable. Additionally, LBSF withdrew its complaint against Total Return Bond Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund.

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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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 other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. 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 Adviser 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.

Counterparty Risk: The Funds may be exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to these financial assets is approximated by their fair value recorded in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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

 

Annual Report March 2010  /  129


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

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 an annualized margin of 1.00% over the same period. Under this agreement, the basic fee was increased by 0.21% resulting in $245,054 total management fees for the year ended March 31, 2010. 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 increased by 0.01% resulting in $2,206,638 of total management fees for the year ended March 31, 2010.

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, 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 year ended March 31, 2010, were as follows:

For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Adviser recouped $321,862 from Class M, $257,234 from Class I and $17 from the Administrative Class of the Total Return Bond Fund.

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

 

130  /  Annual Report March 2010


Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

Board, deferred fees will be paid out in a single sum in cash or a maximum of ten annual installments. The expenses related to the annual retainer, meeting fees, and/or any fluctuation in the selected Funds under the Plan are recorded in Trustees’ fees and expenses on the Statements of Operations.

 

7. SHARE MARKETING (12B-1) PLAN AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN

The Trust has a Share Marketing Plan (or the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act with respect to 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, the Strategic Income, the AlphaTrak 500 Fund and the Administrative Class shares of the Low Duration Bond Fund and Total Return Bond Fund. The Total Return Bond Fund and Low Duration Bond Fund began accruing for Rule 12b-1 expenses on April 1, 2000 for the Class M shares. The Low Duration Bond Fund and Total Return Bond Funds’ Administrative Class shares began accruing 12b-1 on September 23, 2009 and December 21, 2009, respectively. 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, 2010. The AlphaTrak 500 Fund is currently not incurring Rule 12b-1 fees.

The Funds’ Board of Trustees have adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan that allows each Fund to pay to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries a fee for shareholder services provided to Fund shareholders who invest in the Administrative Class shares of a Fund through the intermediary. The fee is payable under the Plan at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the particular Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Administrative Share class but the Adviser has undertaken to limit these expenses for the current fiscal year to 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets invested through the intermediary.

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.

 

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Events or transactions occurring subsequent to March 31, 2010 through the date the financial statements were issued, have been evaluated by management in the preparation of the financial statements and no items were noted requiring additional disclosure. Management has not evaluated events after that date for presentation in these financial statements.

 

Annual Report March 2010  /  135


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 “Funds”) 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 as of March 31, 2010, 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 the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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, 2010, 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 the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1)

Qualifying dividends represent dividends which qualify for the corporate dividends received deduction and is reflected as a percentage of ordinary income distributions (the total of short term capital gain and net investment income distributions).

(2)

The percentage in this column represents the amount of “Qualifying Dividend Income” as created by the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 and is reflected as a percentage of ordinary income distributions (the total of short term capital gain and net investment income distributions). It is the intention of each of the aforementioned funds to designate the maximum amount permitted by law.

(3)

“U.S. Government Interest” represents the amount of interest that was derived from direct U.S. Government obligations and distributed during the fiscal year. This amount is reflected as a percentage of total ordinary income distributions (the total of short term capital gain and net investment income distributions). Generally, interest from direct U.S. Government obligations is exempt from state income tax.

Approval of Investment Management Agreement by Trustees

(Unaudited)

The Adviser provides investment advisory services to each Fund under an Investment Management Agreement dated March 31, 2010 (the “Agreement”) between the Trust and the Adviser. The Agreement was approved by the shareholders of each Fund. The Agreement replaced a prior Investment Management Agreement dated February 21, 2007 (the “Prior Agreement”) and a temporary Interim Investment Management Agreement on the same fee terms that took effect upon the acquisition of the Adviser by The TCW Group, Inc. (“TCW”) on February 23, 2010.

At an in-person meeting of the Board held on January 11, 2010, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered the approval of the Agreement in respect of each Fund. In determining to approve the Agreement, the Trustees considered that they had approved the continuation of the Prior Agreement, the terms of which were substantially identical to the Agreement, for an additional one-year period at their in-person meeting on May 18, 2009. 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 Prior Agreement.” To the extent deemed necessary in their business judgment, the Trustees reconsidered these factors during their meeting on January 11, 2010.

At their meeting on January 11, 2010, the Independent Trustees were represented by independent legal counsel and met separately in an executive session with only that independent legal counsel present. During that executive session, the Independent Trustees spent additional time reviewing and discussing the information and materials that had been furnished by the Adviser in response to a detailed information request sent on their behalf by their independent legal counsel. The request and the Adviser’s response addressed a range of information relating to the acquisition of the Adviser by TCW, the expected benefits and costs to Fund shareholders, arrangements with Fund service providers, the expected management, operation, and compliance capabilities of and the resources available to the Adviser after the acquisition, plans regarding the marketing and distribution of the Funds, expected fees and expenses of the Funds after the acquisition, and plans regarding the Adviser’s and TCW’s businesses. The Independent Trustees also conducted a telephonic meeting the prior week to review and discuss the materials provided by the Adviser in response to that request. After that telephonic meeting, their independent counsel submitted a supplemental information request to the Adviser, which was satisfied before this meeting on January 11, 2010. In addition to the information furnished by the Adviser, the Trustees were provided with legal memoranda discussing their fiduciary duties related to the approval of the Agreement, as well as special considerations relevant to a transaction such as the one between the Adviser and TCW. The Independent Trustees met with representatives of the Adviser, who discussed with the Trustees the Adviser’s expectations as to the management and operations of the Adviser after the acquisition transaction and the continuing roles of the current portfolio management teams in the management of each of the Funds, as well as various other factors discussed in those legal memoranda and identified in the information request from their independent legal counsel.

The Trustees considered that it is not anticipated by the Adviser that there will be any material adverse change in the services provided to the Funds or personnel who are engaged in the portfolio management activities for the Fund as a result of the transaction. In addition, the consensus of the Independent Trustees, based on the information presented to them, was that there would be no “unfair burden” on the Funds as a result of the transaction within the meaning of Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In particular, the Independent Trustees considered that the Adviser represented that there is not expected to be an increase in the contractual advisory fee applicable to any Fund, or additional compensation paid by the Funds to the Adviser, TCW, or their affiliates, as a result of the transaction. The Trustees considered that the terms of the Agreement are substantially identical in all material respects to those of the Prior Agreement, subject to some minor differences.

On the basis of these factors, the Trustees concluded that it would be in the best interests of each Fund 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 Agreement, including the advisory fees proposed in the Agreement, in respect of each Fund for a two-year period commencing immediately following the shareholder approval of the Agreement.

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

On May 18, 2009, the 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 2010. The renewal of the Prior 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 Prior Agreement. The information, material facts, and conclusions that formed the basis for their recommendation and the Board’s subsequent approval are described below.

 

Annual Report March 2010  /  139


Approval of Investment Management Agreement by Trustees (continued)

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 each 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 Prior 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 prior Agreement with respect to each Fund, the 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.

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 previous selection by Morningstar, Inc. as the 2005 fixed-income manager of the year for the Total Return Bond Fund.

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 Board 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 each 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 and why 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 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 the fact that the Adviser historically has absorbed any expenses in excess of these limits. The Board concluded that the relatively low level of the fees charged by the Adviser will benefit each Fund and its shareholders.

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

Approval of Investment Management Agreement by Trustees (continued)

 

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 Funds grow larger. They also 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 Prior 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 Prior Agreement was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

(Unaudited)

On March 31, 2010, the Trust held a Special Meeting of Shareholders to consider a new Investment Management Agreement with Metropolitan West Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”), the investment adviser for the Metropolitan West Funds. The Funds’ existing Investment Advisory Agreement was expected to automatically terminate as a result of an acquisition of the Adviser by the TCW Group, Inc. Shareholders of record on February 9, 2010 were entitled to vote on the proposal to approve a new Investment Advisory Agreement substantively the same as the prior Investment Advisory Agreement, including the same fees other than additional limits applicable to performance adjustments for the AlphaTrak 500 Fund and Strategic Income Fund. The proposal was approved by shareholders of the Metropolitan West Total Return Bond Fund, Metropolitan West AlphaTrak 500 Fund, Metropolitan West High Yield Bond Fund, Metropolitan West Ultra Short Bond Fund, and Metropolitan West Low Duration Bond Fund on March 31, 2010. The Special Meeting was adjourned until April 9, 2010 for the Metropolitan West Strategic Income Fund and the Metropolitan West Intermediate Bond Fund at which time the proposal was approved by shareholders of the respective funds.

  (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:

(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 $685,700 in 2010 and $549,550 in 2009.

 

  (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.
