[1] The management fee paid to the Adviser for providing services to the Fund consists of a basic fee at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average net assets and a positive or negative performance adjustment of up to an annual rate of 0.35% (applied to the average assets for the rolling 3-month performance period), resulting in a total minimum fee of 0% and a total maximum fee of 0.70%. The average monthly management fee for the year ended March 31, 2011 was 0.62% (annual rate).
[2] Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses will not correlate to the ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets found in the "Financial Highlights" section of the Prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund, but does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
[3] Metropolitan West Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses including distribution expenses to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses to 0.90% and limit "Other Expenses" to 0.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets, assuming the maximum management fee. "Other Expenses" does not include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, short sale dividend expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses ("AFFE"), and any expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization or extraordinary expenses such as litigation. This contract will remain in place until July 31, 2012. Although it does not expect to do so, the Board of Trustees is permitted to terminate that contract sooner in its discretion with written notice to the Adviser. If AFFE had not been incurred, the ratio of annualized operating expenses to average net assets for the year ended March 31, 2011 would have been 0.90%. Assuming the amount of other expenses and fee reduction and/or expense reimbursement shown above, net expenses would have been 0.91% assuming the minimum management fee, 0.91% assuming the basic fee and 0.91% assuming the maximum management fee.
