Williams Capital Liquid Assets Fund
President’s Letter
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
We greatly appreciate your investment in the Williams Capital Liquid Assets Fund (the “Fund”). The Fund’s Semi-Annual Report for November 1, 2006, through April 30, 2007, is contained in the following pages.
 
During the six-month period, inflation remained above the Fed’s target of 2% core CPI growth. Energy and food prices, which are typically excluded from core CPI, continued their second year of strong increases. The market viewed inflation as contained, and the Fed believed that inflation pressures would moderate over time. In Fed Chairman Bernanke’s appearance before the Joint Economic Committee on March 28th, he steered away from the prospects of imminent Fed easing when he said, “we have not shifted away from an inflation bias.” Bernanke also stated, “Our policy is still oriented towards control of inflation, which we consider to be the greater risk.” At this time, we were concerned of a spillover of higher food and energy prices into core CPI. We focused on the one- to three-month sector of the yield curve during the six-month period due to our market view, as well as the inverted nature of the 3-month to 1-year yield curve. As a result, the Fund was primarily invested in commercial paper, about 70% during the period.
 
At the beginning of the period, November, 2006, we believed that the Fed was on hold until mid-2007, baring any major surprises in economic data. During this time, economic data exhibited signs of strength and weakness. Towards the end of the period, mid-March through April 2007, the economy was impacted by the growing number of defaults in the sub-prime mortgage lending market, home prices posting their largest declines in 14 years, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Also, at the March 21st FOMC meeting, the accompanying statement dropped the wording, “any additional firming that may be needed.” This caused the market to shift its view that the Fed would cease to tighten and that the next move will be a rate cut. We concur and continue to believe the Fed will remain on hold, possibly for the rest of the year. We also believe the Fed requires evidence of sustained broad based economic weakness before making a move to ease rates.
 
We look forward to growing with you throughout the year and continuing to provide you with competitive yields and service. Thank you for your investment in the Williams Capital Liquid Assets Fund. Please call us with any questions on our toll-free number, 866-WCM-FUND.
 
Regards,

Williams Capital Liquid Assets Fund
Disclosure of Fund Expenses
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
 
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; and exchange fees; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution fees; and other Fund expenses.
 
 
This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
 
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2006 through April 30, 2007.
 
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Williams Capital Liquid Assets Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
 
1. Organization
The Williams Capital Management Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 1, 2002. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Williams Capital Liquid Assets Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust, is a money market fund that seeks to provide its shareholders with a level of current income that is consistent with the goals of preservation of capital and liquidity. The Fund commenced operations on January 15, 2003. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Institutional Shares and Service Shares. The Service Shares have not yet commenced operations. Each class of shares in the Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to voting rights on matters affecting only that class of shares and the exchange privilege of each class of shares.
 
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Security Valuation:
Securities of the Fund are valued in accordance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, at amortized cost, which approximates current market value. Under this method, securities are valued initially at cost when purchased. Thereafter, a constant proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded until maturity of the security. Regular review and monitoring of the valuation of securities held by the Fund is performed pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value per share of $1.00.
 
Security Transactions and Investment Income:
Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Williams Capital Liquid Assets Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2007 (Continued) (Unaudited)
 

Dividends and Distribution to Shareholders:
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly (if available) by the Fund. The Fund’s net realized capital gains (including net short-term capital gains), if any, are declared and distributed at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
 
Federal Income Taxes:
The Fund’s policy is to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute taxable income sufficient to relieve the Fund from substantially all federal income and excise taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
 
Restricted and Illiquid Securities:
The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities. The Fund may invest in commercial paper issued in reliance on the so-called private placement exemption afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), as amended (“Section 4(2)paper”). Section 4(2) paper is restricted as to disposition under the federal securities laws and is generally sold to institutional investors that agree that they are purchasing the paper for investment and not for distribution. Section 4(2) paper and other such restricted securities (such as securities also exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the 1933 Act) will not be subject to the Fund’s percentage limitations on illiquid securities when Williams Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) determines that a liquid trading market exists, pursuant to guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees.
 
Indemnification:
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, management expects the risk of loss to be remote.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements:
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an

 
16


 

 
Williams Capital Liquid Assets Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2007 (Continued) (Unaudited)
 

Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. On December 22, 2006 the Securities and Exchange Commission delayed the effective date until June 30, 2007. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying the various provisions of FIN 48.
 
In September 2006, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Fund believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will have no material impact on its financial statements.
 
3. Investment Adviser and Other Related Party Transactions
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser. Under the agreement, the Adviser provides investment management services to the Fund and is entitled to receive from the Fund a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.12% of the value of its average daily net assets.
 
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to cap the Fund level operating expenses of the Institutional Shares of the Fund at 0.20%. For the period ended April 30, 2007, the Adviser waived fees of $33,382.
 
Each Trustee of the Fund, who is not considered to be an “interested person” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (an “Independent Trustee”), is paid a fee of $12,000 per year plus out-of-pocket expenses related to attendance at Board meetings. Each Trustee who is considered to be an ”interested person” as defined in the 1940 Act receives no remuneration for his or her services as a Trustee.
 
Beginning January 29, 2007, The Bank of New York (“BNY”) serves as Administrator and Fund Accountant to the Fund. For these services BNY receives fees computed at an annual rate of the average daily net assets, subject to a minimum annual fee. UMB Investment Services Group serves as Transfer Agent to the Fund. Prior to January 29, 2007, BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc., served as Administrator, Fund Accountant, and Transfer Agent to the Fund.
 
Organization expenses incurred in connection with the organization, initial registration and offering of the Trust were borne by the Adviser.

The Distributor is not obligated to sell any specific number of shares and will sell shares of the Fund on a continuous basis only against orders to purchase shares.
 
4. Ratings Services
Moody’s Investor Services’ money market fund ratings are opinions of the investment quality of shares in mutual funds, which principally invest in short-term fixed income obligations. The ratings are not intended to consider the prospective performance of a fund with respect to appreciation, volatility of net asset value, or yield. Money market funds rated AAA are judged to be of an investment quality similar to AAA-rated fixed income obligations, that is, they are judged to be of the best quality.
 
Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) money market fund is a safety rating, expressing S&P’s opinion of the ability of a fund to maintain principal value and to limit exposure to loss. S&P’s AAAm rating is the highest assigned to money market mutual funds. The rating is based on S&P’s analysis of a fund’s credit quality, liquidity, management, investment guidelines, strategies, and internal controls. The ”m” denotes a money market fund and distinguishes the money market fund rating from S&P’s traditional debt rating.
 
5.  Annual Consideration for the Continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees of the Trust, at a meeting held on December 19, 2006, formally considered the continuance of the investment advisory agreement between the Trust and the Adviser with respect to the Fund (the “Advisory Agreement”).
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) requested and received from the Adviser information it believed reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion. Among other things, the Adviser provided the Board with data from iMoneyNet. This data provided advisory fee and expense ratio comparisons with comparable funds. The Board carefully evaluated this information and was advised by legal counsel to the Trust with respect to its deliberations. The Board was provided with a memorandum prepared by legal counsel to the Trust detailing the legal standards for review of the Advisory Agreement. The Board received a presentation by the Adviser and the Trustees who are not “interested persons”, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), deliberated outside the presence of management and the Adviser.

In their deliberations, each Trustee attributed different weights to various factors involved in their analysis of whether the Advisory Agreement should be continued, and no factor alone was considered determinative. The Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that the overall arrangements between the Trust and the Adviser, as provided in the Advisory Agreement, were fair and reasonable, and that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund and the Fund’s shareholders.
 
The matters addressed below were considered and discussed by the Trustees in reaching their conclusions.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser
The Board reviewed the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser. The Board took into account information furnished throughout the year at Board meetings as well as materials furnished specifically in connection with the annual review process. The Board considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management and the expertise of the investment personnel responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.
 
Based on their review, the Board concluded that the Adviser and its personnel were sufficiently experienced and qualified to provide investment advisory services for the Fund, and that the nature and extent of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser were typical of those provided to money market funds and that the quality of the services was satisfactory.
 
Investment Performance
The Board considered performance results of the Fund in absolute terms and relative to the Fund’s peer group. In conducting their review of performance, both long-term and short-term performance were considered. During the discussion of the iMoneyNet data, the Trustees noted that the performance of the Fund exceeded the average of comparable funds. The Fund’s performance for most of 2006 ranked in the top of the second quartile in the iMoneyNet-AAA Rated Institutional Prime Funds universe.
 
Based on their review and consideration, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
 
Cost of Services and Profits Realized by the Adviser
The Board considered comparable peer group information with respect to the advisory fees charged by the Adviser to the Fund, taking into consideration both contractual and actual (i.e., after waiver) fee levels. The Board noted that the Fund’s investment advisory fee was below the average based upon the information contained in the iMoneyNet data. The Board also noted that the operating

expense ratio, after fee waivers and reimbursements, was below both the average and the median for comparable funds with a comparable asset level. Additionally, the Board reviewed the Fund’s fees against fees charged to other institutional accounts by the Adviser. The Board concluded that the advisory fee was reasonable in relation to the services provided.
 
In reviewing the Adviser’s profitability with respect to the Fund, the Trustees noted that the Adviser currently was losing money from operating the Fund, but the amount of the loss was projected to decrease as Fund assets increased. The Adviser agreed to continue to cap the Fund’s operating expenses for the coming year. The Board concluded that the profitability of the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement was not unreasonable in light of the services and benefits provided to the Fund.
 
Economies of Scale
The Board also considered whether the fee level reflected economies of scale and whether economies of scale would be produced by the growth of the Fund’s assets. The Board took into account the Fund’s asset levels, the expense limitations currently in effect, and the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as asset levels grow. The Board concluded that no changes were currently necessary in the fee level, and that the contractual expense limitations currently provided the benefits of economies of scale to shareholders.
