AZL Fusion Balanced FundSM
Allianz Life Advisers, LLC serves as the Manager for the AZL Fusion Balanced FundSM.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006, the AZL Fusion Balanced FundSM gained 9.49% compared to a 9.96% return for its benchmark, a composite index (the “Balanced Composite Index”) comprised of equal weightings in the S&P 500 Stock Index1 and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index1.
The Fund generates broad diversification2 by investing in 21 underlying funds as of December 31, 2006, including funds that invest in stocks as well as funds that invest in fixed-income securities. The Fund typically holds between 45% and 55% of its assets in equity funds, with the remaining assets in bond funds.*
Stocks posted strong returns during 2006, with the S&P 500 Stock Index gaining 15.79%. Meanwhile, bonds as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index generated 4.33% return. Strong returns from the underlying AZLSM Oppenheimer International Growth Fund, AZLSM AIM International Fund and AZLSM Van Kampen Global Real Estate Fund helped the AZLSM Fusion Balanced Fund post a solid absolute gain, while weak returns in the underlying PIMCO VIT Commodity Real Return Strategy Portfolio and PIMCO VIT Real Return Portfolio detracted from performance.*
The Fund’s returns benefited from a diversified asset mix. Within its equity holdings, strong returns in international stocks, global real estate, large cap value shares and small cap value stocks held by the underlying funds boosted performance. Investments in global bonds, emerging-market bonds and high-yield bonds held by the underlying funds improved the returns of the Fund’s fixed-income allocation.*
Certain equity funds in the AZLSM Fusion Balanced Fund’s portfolio lagged the S&P 500 Stock Index and weighed on relative performance. They included the AZLSM Davis NY Venture Fund, the AZLSM Legg Mason Value Fund, the and the AZLSM Van Kampen Comstock Fund. In the fixed-income portion of the Fund’s portfolio, an allocation to Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) detracted from returns against the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.*
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
 
*   The Fund’s portfolio composition is subject to change. There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform well or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future. The information contained in this is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell securities in the sector mentioned. The Fund’s holdings and weightings are as of December 31, 2006.
 
1   The Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (“S&P 500 Stock Index”) consists of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in the underlying securities.

AZL Fusion Balanced FundSM Review
Fund Objective
The Fund seeks to achieve long term capital appreciation with preservation of capital as an important consideration. The Fund is a professionally managed fund which seeks to achieve its goal through investments in a combination of Permitted Underlying Funds that represent different asset classes in the Fund’s asset allocation.
Investment Concerns
Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term, higher quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return.
The Fund is subject to the risk that principal value reacts in opposition to the movement of interest rates and that a rising interest rate environment increases the risk of loss of principal.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and net asset value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain current month-end performance information, please visit www.Allianzlife.com.
The total return of the Fund does not reflect the effect of any insurance charges, the annual maintenance fee or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Such charges, fees and tax payments would reduce the performance quoted.
 
†   The Fund’s performance is compared to a composite index (the “Balanced Composite Index”) of 50% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and 50% of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index consists of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. The indices do not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for services provided to the Fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.
 
††   The since inception performance data and hypothetical $10,000 investment for the Balanced Composite Index, the S&P 500 Stock Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is calculated from 4/30/05 which is the closest available date for the Index performance.

AZL Fusion Balanced Fund
Expense Example and Portfolio Composition (Unaudited)

  As a shareholder of the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. This example does not include expenses from the underlying investment companies in which the Fund invests.
 
  The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the applicable periods presented below.

Actual Return Example

  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.

                                 
Annualized
Beginning Ending Expenses Paid Expense Ratio
Account Value Account Value During Period* During Period
7/1/06 12/31/06 7/1/06 - 12/31/06 7/1/06 - 12/31/06




AZL Fusion Balanced Fund
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,086.80     $ 1.47       0.28%  

  *   Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect one half-year period).

Hypothetical Return Example for Comparison Purposes

  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 the ongoing costs of investing in the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund and other funds. To do so, 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. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

AZL Fusion Balanced Fund
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,023.79     $ 1.43       0.28%  

  *   Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect one half-year period).

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2006

1. Organization

  The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). Effective May 1, 2006, the USAllianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust changed its name to Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust. Accordingly, each of the Funds changed their name from the prefix “USAZ” to the prefix “AZL.” The Trust consists of three separate investment portfolios, the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, the AZL Fusion Growth Fund and the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust. These Notes to the Financial Statements are for the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund (the “Fund”).
 
  The Fund is a “fund of funds”, which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
 
  The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
 
  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 Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

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 conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain 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 income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Standards

  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
 
  On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-than-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the year of determination. Adoption of FIN 48 is required no later than the last business day of the first financial statement reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management has not completed their analysis on whether the adoption of FIN 48 will have an impact to the financial statements once adopted.

Security Valuation

  Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the respective net asset values as reported by such funds. Portfolio securities listed on a national exchange or exchanges for which market quotations are available are valued at their last quoted sale price on each business day. If there is no such reported sale, the most recently quoted bid price is used for long securities and the ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity are valued at their amortized cost. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recent quoted bid price for long securities and the ask price is used for securities sold short. Other assets and securities for which no quotation is readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting on the behalf of the Trustees. Fair value pricing may be used for significant events such as securities whose trading has been suspended, whose price has become stale or for which there is no currently available price at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 PM Eastern Time).

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

  Securities transactions are recorded no later than one business day following the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are recorded on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Dividends to Shareholders

  Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its income dividends and all of its net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount 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. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders which exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.

Expense Allocation

  Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Life Advisors, LLC serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.

3. Related Party Transactions

  Allianz Life Advisers, LLC (the “Manager”) provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, based on the daily net assets of the Fund through April 30, 2008. All underlying funds in which the Fund may invest are managed, for a fee, by the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager. Expenses incurred are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees”.
 
  For the year ended December 31, 2006, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:

                 
Annual Rate Expense Limit


AZL Fusion Balanced Fund
    0.20%       0.30%  

  Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next 3 fiscal years the repayment will not cause the

  Fund’s expenses to exceed the stated limit during the respective year. At December 31, 2006, the contractual reimbursements that may potentially be made by the Fund in subsequent years were as follows:

         
Expires

AZL Fusion Balanced Fund
  $ 1,099  

  In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations.
 
  Pursuant to an agreement in effect through October 31, 2006 between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provided certain compliance oversight and filing services to the Trust. The Manager was entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the Manager’s quarterly expenses for certain employees who supported the Trust’s compliance program. In addition, the Manager was entitled to $50.00 per hour for time incurred related to the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Pursuant to separate agreements effective November 1, 2006 between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $50.00 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the SEC. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
 
  BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS Ohio” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, in the amount of $50,000 annually for each Fund. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and an annual fee of $65,000 ($75,000 prior to November 1, 2006) for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program (and providing an employee to serve as the CCO through October 31, 2006). The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees”. BISYS Fund Services LP (“BISYS”) serves, without compensation, as the distributor of the Fund.
 
  In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the year ended December 31, 2006, $11,801 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
 
  Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $20,000 annual Board retainer and a $4,000 and $2,000 meeting fee for each regular in-person Board meeting and Committee meeting, respectively. In addition, Trustees may receive compensation for special meetings and telephonic meetings. Also, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2006, actual Trustee compensation was $409,000 in total for both Trusts.

4. Security Purchases and Sales

  For the year ended December 31, 2006, cost of purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:

5. Federal Income Tax Information

  It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.
 
  The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2006 were $1,307,222 related to ordinary income and $806,091 related to net long term capital gains.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AZL Fusion Balanced Fund (the Fund) of the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each period in the two-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; or other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 the Fund as of December 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each period in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

  Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Life Advisers, LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. This management includes making asset allocation decisions and investment decisions pursuant to which each Fund will invest in shares of Permitted Underlying Funds and in other Underlying Securities. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager a fee computed daily at an annual rate equal to .20% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed 0.30% until at least May 1, 2008.
 
  Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) serves as a consultant to the Manager in preparing statistical and other factual information for use in the creation and maintenance of the asset allocation models for the Funds pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and Morningstar. Morningstar serves as a consultant to the Manager with respect to selecting the Underlying Investments and the Fund’s asset allocations among the Permitted Underlying Funds. As provided by the Consultant Agreement the Manager pays Morningstar 0.12% of the average daily net assets of the Funds.
 
  In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
 
  As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
 
  The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. (It is not anticipated that the Manager will have the opportunity to receive such research services until such time as the Funds receive exemptive relief expanding the types of securities which the Funds may acquire.) The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; (2) Allianz Life Financial Services LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1; and (3) Dresdner Bank AG, an affiliated person of the Manager, receives compensation from seven of the Underlying Funds for acting as a securities lending agent.
 
  The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the Funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the Funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the Funds; performance and expenses of comparable Funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the Funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the Funds.
 
  The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the

16


 

  Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various factors, such as asset allocation decisions, the performance of the Underlying Funds, and the impact of cash positions and Fund expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
 
  The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
 
  The Management Agreement was most recently approved at an “in-person” meeting of the Board of Trustees on October 24, 2006. In preparation for such meeting, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval/continuance of the Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals/continuances. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals/continuances in private sessions with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval and/or continuance of the Agreement, in respect of each Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, nor does the Board consider any one of them to be determinative.
 
  An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
 
  (1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
  The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also were considered. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Trust and to each of the Funds under the Management Agreement.
 
  (2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. In connection with the fall 2006 contract review process, Trustees received extensive information on the performance results of each of the Funds. This includes, for example, performance information on all of the Funds since their inception on May 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. Such performance information includes information on absolute total return, performance versus the appropriate benchmark(s), the contribution to performance of the Manager’s asset allocation and Underlying Fund selection decisions, and the impact on performance of cash and Fund fees.
 
  At the Board of Trustees meeting held October 24, 2006 the Trustees noted that while the Funds had not been in operation for a sufficient time period to establish a meaningful track record, they determined that the investment performance of all of the Funds was acceptable given the limited period of their existence.

17


 

  (3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Board noted that the Manager receives an advisory fee of 20 basis points, out of which it pays Morningstar a consulting fee of 12 basis points. As part of the fall 2006 contract review process, Trustees were provided with information that the actual management fees for the Funds were four basis points higher than the peer group average, and that the total expense ratios for the Fusion Balanced Fund were three basis points lower than the peer group average, for the Fusion Growth Fund were nine basis points lower than the peer group average, and for the Fusion Moderate Fund were three basis points lower than the peer group average.
 
  The Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2003 through the end of 2006 (projected). The only advisory clients of the Manager during such period were the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
 
  The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of fall-out benefits to the Manager, and were advised by it that there were no such benefits. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund.
 
  Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are not unreasonable, and determined that there was no evidence that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was excessive.
 
  (4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific service provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the total assets in all of the Funds as of June 30, 2006 were approximately $1.25 billion, which was represented by three Funds, and that the largest Fund had assets of approximately $600 million.
 
  The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2007, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.
 
  Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules was acceptable under each Fund’s circumstances.

AZL Fusion Growth FundSM
Allianz Life Advisers, LLC serves as the Manager for the AZL Fusion Growth FundSM.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006, the AZL Fusion Growth FundSM gained 12.20% compared to a 13.44% return for its benchmark, a composite index (the “Growth Composite Index”) comprised of an 80% weighting in the S&P 500 Stock Index1 and a 20% weighting in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index1.
The Fund generates broad diversification2 by investing in 20 underlying funds as of December 31, 2006, including funds that invest in stocks as well as funds that invest in fixed-income securities. The Fund typically holds between 75% and 85% of its assets in equity funds, with the remaining assets in bond funds.*
Stocks outperformed bonds for the year, with the S&P 500 Stock Index gaining 15.79% and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index returning 4.33%. The Fund’s allocation to equity funds generated the majority of the Fund’s absolute gain. Strong returns from the underlying AZLSM Oppenheimer International Growth Fund, AZLSM AIM International Fund and AZLSM Van Kampen Global Real Estate Fund particularly boosted absolute returns. Meanwhile, weak returns from the underlying PIMCO VIT Commodity Real Return Strategy Portfolio and PIMCO VIT Real Return Portfolio detracted from performance.*
The Fund’s returns benefited from its diversified mix of assets. Strong returns in international stocks, global real estate, large cap value shares and small cap value stocks held by the underlying funds boosted the performance of the Fund’s equity holdings. The returns of the Fund’s fixed-income allocation benefited from positions in global bonds and emerging-market bonds held by the underlying funds.*
Certain underlying equity funds lagged the S&P 500 Index, creating a drag on relative performance. They included the AZLSM Davis NY Venture Fund, the AZLSM Legg Mason Value Fund, and the AZLSM Van Kampen Comstock Fund. Among the Fund’s fixed-income holdings, an allocation to Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) weakened relative returns.*
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
 
*   The Fund’s portfolio composition is subject to change. There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform well or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future. The information contained in this is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell securities in the sector mentioned. The Fund’s holdings and weightings are as of December 31, 2006.
 
1   The Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (“S&P 500 Stock Index”) consists of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in the underlying securities.

AZL Fusion Growth FundSM Review
Fund Objective
The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is a professionally managed fund which seeks to achieve its goal through investments in a combination of Permitted Underlying Funds that represent different asset classes in the Fund’s asset allocation.
Investment Concerns
Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and net asset value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain current month-end performance information, please visit www.Allianzlife.com.
The total return of the Fund does not reflect the effect of any insurance charges, the annual maintenance fee or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Such charges, fees and tax payments would reduce the performance quoted.
 
 
†   The Fund’s performance is compared to a composite index (the “Growth Composite Index) of 80% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and 20% of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index consists of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. The indices do not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for services provided to the Fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.
 
††   The since inception performance data and hypothetical $10,000 investment for the Growth Composite Index, the S&P 500 Stock Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is calculated from 4/30/05 which is the closest available date for the Index performance.

AZL Fusion Growth Fund
Expense Example and Portfolio Composition (Unaudited)

  As a shareholder of the AZL Fusion Growth Fund, (the “Fund”) you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the AZL Fusion Growth Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. This example does not include expenses from the underlying investment companies in which the Fund invests.
 
  The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the applicable periods presented below.

Actual Return Examples

  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.

                                 
Annualized
Beginning Ending Expenses Paid Expense Ratio
Account Value Account Value During Period* During Period
7/1/06 12/31/06 7/1/06 - 12/31/06 7/1/06 - 12/31/06




AZL Fusion Growth Fund
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,108.20     $ 1.33       0.25%  

  *   Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect one half-year period).

Hypothetical Return Example for Comparison Purposes

  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 the ongoing costs of investing in the AZL Fusion Growth Fund and other funds. To do so, 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. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

  *   Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect one half-year period).

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Fusion Growth Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2006

1. Organization

  The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). Effective May 1, 2006, the USAllianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust changed its name to Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust. Accordingly, each of the Funds changed their name from the prefix “USAZ” to the prefix “AZL”. The Trust consists of three separate investment portfolios, the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, the AZL Fusion Growth Fund and the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust. These Notes to the Financial Statements are for the AZL Fusion Growth Fund (the “Fund”).
 
  The Fund is a “fund of funds”, which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
 
  The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Funds are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
 
  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 Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

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 conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain 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 income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Standards

  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
 
  On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-than-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the year of determination. Adoption of FIN 48 is required no later than the last business day of the first financial statement reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management has not completed their analysis on whether the adoption of FIN 48 will have an impact to the financial statements once adopted.

Security Valuation

  Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the respective net asset values as reported by such funds. Portfolio securities listed on a national exchange or exchanges for which market quotations are available are valued at their last quoted sale price on each business day. If there is no such reported sale, the most recently quoted bid price is used for long securities and the ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity are valued at their amortized cost. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recent quoted bid price for long securities and the ask price is used for securities sold short. Other assets and securities for which no quotation is readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting on the behalf of the Trustees. Fair value pricing may be used for significant events such as securities whose trading has been suspended, whose price has become stale or for which there is no currently available price at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 PM Eastern Time).

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

  Securities transactions are recorded no later than one business day following the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are recorded on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Dividends to Shareholders

  Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its income dividends and all of its net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount 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. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders which exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.

Expense Allocation

  Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund, are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Life Advisors, LLC serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.

3. Related Party Transactions

  Allianz Life Advisers, LLC (the “Manager”) provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, based on the daily net assets of the Fund through April 30, 2008. All underlying funds in which the Fund may invest are managed, for a fee, by the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager. Expenses incurred are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees”.
 
  For the year ended December 31, 2006, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:

                 
Annual Rate Expense Limit


AZL Fusion Growth Fund
    0.20%       0.30%  

  Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next 3 fiscal years the repayment will not cause the

11


 

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Fusion Growth Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2006

  Fund’s expenses to exceed the stated limit during the respective year. At December 31, 2006, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that may potentially be made by the Fund in subsequent years.
 
  In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations.
 
  Pursuant to an agreement in effect through October 31, 2006 between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provided certain compliance oversight and filing services to the Trust. The Manager was entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the Manager’s quarterly expenses for certain employees who supported the Trust’s compliance program. In addition, the Manager was entitled to $50.00 per hour for time incurred related to the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Pursuant to separate agreements effective November 1, 2006 between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $50.00 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the SEC. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
 
  BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS Ohio” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, in the amount of $50,000 annually for each Fund. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and an annual fee of $65,000 ($75,000 prior to November 1, 2006) for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program (and providing an employee to serve as the CCO through October 31, 2006). The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees”. BISYS Fund Services LP (“BISYS”) serves, without compensation, as the distributor of the Fund.
 
  In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the year ended December 31, 2006, $34,945 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
 
  Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $20,000 annual Board retainer and a $4,000 and $2,000 meeting fee for each regular in-person Board meeting and Committee meeting, respectively. In addition, Trustees may receive compensation for special meetings and telephonic meetings. Also, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2006, actual Trustee compensation was $409,000 in total for both Trusts.

4. Security Purchases and Sales

  For the year ended December 31, 2006, cost of purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:

                 
Purchases Sales


AZL Fusion Growth Fund
  $ 674,473,710     $ 173,643,716  

5. Federal Income Tax Information

  It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.

  The tax character of dividends paid to shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2006 were $1,438,825 related to ordinary income and $2,853,565 related to net long term capital gains. Total distributions paid may differ from the Statement of changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
 
  As of December 31, 2006, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis was as follows:

Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AZL Fusion Growth Fund (the Fund) of the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each period in the two-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; or other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 the Fund as of December 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each period in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

  Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Life Advisers, LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. This management includes making asset allocation decisions and investment decisions pursuant to which each Fund will invest in shares of Permitted Underlying Funds and in other Underlying Securities. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager a fee computed daily at an annual rate equal to .20% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed 0.30% until at least May 1, 2008.
 
  Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) serves as a consultant to the Manager in preparing statistical and other factual information for use in the creation and maintenance of the asset allocation models for the Funds pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and Morningstar. Morningstar serves as a consultant to the Manager with respect to selecting the Underlying Investments and the Fund’s asset allocations among the Permitted Underlying Funds. As provided by the Consultant Agreement the Manager pays Morningstar 0.12% of the average daily net assets of the Funds.
 
  In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
 
  As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
 
  The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. (It is not anticipated that the Manager will have the opportunity to receive such research services until such time as the Funds receive exemptive relief expanding the types of securities which the Funds may acquire.) The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; (2) Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1; and (3) Dresdner Bank AG, an affiliated person of the Manager, receives compensation from seven of the Underlying Funds for acting as a securities lending agent.
 
  The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the Funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the Funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the Funds; performance and expenses of comparable Funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the Funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the Funds.
 
  The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the

16


 

  Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various factors, such as asset allocation decisions, the performance of the Underlying Funds, and the impact of cash positions and Fund expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
 
  The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
 
  The Management Agreement was most recently approved at an “in-person” meeting of the Board of Trustees on October 24, 2006. In preparation for such meeting, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval/continuance of the Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals/continuances. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals/continuances in private sessions with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval and/or continuance of the Agreement, in respect of each Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, nor does the Board consider any one of them to be determinative.
 
  An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
 
  (1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
  The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also were considered. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Trust and to each of the Funds under the Management Agreement.
 
  (2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. In connection with the fall 2006 contract review process, Trustees received extensive information on the performance results of each of the Funds. This includes, for example, performance information on all of the Funds since their inception on May 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. Such performance information includes information on absolute total return, performance versus the appropriate benchmark(s), the contribution to performance of the Manager’s asset allocation and Underlying Fund selection decisions, and the impact on performance of cash and Fund fees.
 
  At the Board of Trustees meeting held October 24, 2006 the Trustees noted that while the Funds had not been in operation for a sufficient time period to establish a meaningful track record, they determined that the investment performance of all of the Funds was acceptable given the limited period of their existence.

17


 

  (3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Board noted that the Manager receives an advisory fee of 20 basis points, out of which it pays Morningstar a consulting fee of 12 basis points. As part of the fall 2006 contract review process, Trustees were provided with information that the actual management fees for the Funds were four basis points higher than the peer group average, and that the total expense ratios for the Fusion Balanced Fund were three basis points lower than the peer group average, for the Fusion Growth Fund were nine basis points lower than the peer group average, and for the Fusion Moderate Fund were three basis points lower than the peer group average.
 
  The Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2003 through the end of 2006 (projected). The only advisory clients of the Manager during such period were the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
 
  The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of fall-out benefits to the Manager, and were advised by it that there were no such benefits. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund.
 
  Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are not unreasonable, and determined that there was no evidence that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was excessive.
 
  (4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific service provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the total assets in all of the Funds as of June 30, 2006 were approximately $1.25 billion, which was represented by three Funds, and that the largest Fund had assets of approximately $600 million.
 
  The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2007, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.
 
  Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules was acceptable under each Fund’s circumstances.

AZL Fusion Moderate FundSM
Allianz Life Advisers, LLC serves as the Manager for the AZLFusion Moderate FundSM.
What factors affected the Fund’s performance during the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006?
For the 12-month period ended December 31, 2006, the AZL Fusion Moderate FundSM gained 10.71% compared to an 11.69% return for its benchmark, a (the “Moderate Composite Index”) composite index comprised of a 65% weighting in the S&P 500 Stock Index1 and a 35% weighting in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index1.
The Fund generates broad diversification2 by investing in 21 underlying funds as of December 31, 2006, including funds that invest in stocks as well as funds that invest in fixed-income securities. The Fund typically holds between 60% and 70% of its assets in equity funds, with the remaining assets in bond funds.*
Stocks outperformed bonds during 2006. The S&P 500 Stock Index gained 15.79%, while the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index appreciated 4.33%. Strong returns from the underlying AZLSM Oppenheimer International Growth Fund, AZLSM AIM International Fund and AZLSM Van Kampen Global Real Estate Fund especially contributed to the Fund’s absolute return. Meanwhile, weak returns in the PIMCO VIT Commodity Real Return Strategy Portfolio and PIMCO VIT Real Return Portfolio detracted from performance.*
The Fund’s performance benefited from its diversified asset mix. Strong returns in international stocks, global real estate, large cap value shares and small cap value stocks held by underlying funds boosted the gains of the Fund’s equity holdings. Meanwhile positions in global bonds, emerging-market bonds and high-yield bonds held by underlying funds improved the performance of the Fund’s fixed-income allocation.*
Certain equity funds lagged the S&P 500 Stock Index and weighed on relative returns. They included the AZLSM Davis NY Venture Fund, the AZLSM Legg Mason Value Fund, and the AZLSM Van Kampen Comstock Fund. An allocation to Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) weakened relative returns among the Fund’s fixed-income allocation.*
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
 
*   The Fund’s portfolio composition is subject to change. There is no guarantee that any sectors mentioned will continue to perform well or that securities in such sectors will be held by the Fund in the future. The information contained in this is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell securities in the sector mentioned. The Fund’s holdings and weightings are as of December 31, 2006.
 
1   The Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (“S&P 500 Stock Index”) consists of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in the underlying securities.

AZL Fusion Moderate Fund SM Review
Fund Objective
The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is a professionally managed fund which seeks to achieve its goal through investment in a combination of Permitted Underlying Funds that represent different asset classes in the Fund’s asset allocation.
Investment Concerns
Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.
Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term, higher quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return.
The Fund is subject to the risk that principal value reacts in opposition to the movement of interest rates and that a rising interest rate environment increases the risk of loss of principal.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The performance data quoted represents past performance and current returns may be lower or higher. The investment return and net asset value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than the original cost. To obtain current month-end performance information, please visit www.Allianzlife.com.
The total return of the Fund does not reflect the effect of any insurance charges, the annual maintenance fee or the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Such charges, fees and tax payments would reduce the performance quoted.
 
†   The Fund’s performance is compared to a composite index (the “Moderate Composite Index”) of 65% of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and 35% of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index consists of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is a measure of the U.S. Stock market as a whole. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted performance benchmark for investment-grade fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. The indices do not reflect the deduction of fees associated with a mutual fund, such as investment management and fund accounting fees. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of fees for services provided to the Fund. Investors cannot invest directly in an index, although they can invest in its underlying securities.
 
††   The since inception performance data and hypothetical $10,000 investment for the Moderate Composite Index, the S&P 500 Stock Index and the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is calculated from 4/30/05 which is the closest available date for the Index performance.

AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
Expense Examples and Portfolio Composition (Unaudited)

  As a shareholder of the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund, (the “Fund”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. This example does not include expenses from the underlying investment companies in which the Fund invests.
 
  The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the applicable periods presented below.

Actual Return Example

  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.

                                 
Annualized
Beginning Ending Expenses Paid Expense Ratio
Account Value Account Value During Period* During Period
7/1/06 12/31/06 7/1/06 - 12/31/06 7/1/06 - 12/31/06




AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,096.10     $ 1.22       0.23%  

  *   Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect one half-year period).

Hypothetical Return Example for Comparison Purposes

  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 the ongoing costs of investing in the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund and other funds. To do so, 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. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
  $ 1,000.00     $ 1,024.05     $ 1.17       0.23%  

  *   Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect one half-year period).

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2006

1. Organization

  The Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 16, 2004. The Trust is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”). Effective May 1, 2006, the USAllianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust changed its name to Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust. Accordingly, each of the Funds changed their name from the prefix “USAZ” to the prefix “AZL”. The Trust consists of three separate investment portfolios, the AZL Fusion Balanced Fund, the AZL Fusion Growth Fund and the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each of which is a series of the Trust. These Notes to the Financial Statements are for the AZL Fusion Moderate Fund (the “Fund”).
 
  The Fund is a “fund of funds”, which means that the Fund invests in other mutual funds. Underlying Funds invest in stock, bonds, and other securities and reflect varying amounts of potential investment risk and reward. Periodically, the Fund will adjust its asset allocation as it seeks to achieve its investment objective.
 
  The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of the Fund without par value. Shares of the Fund are available through the variable annuity contracts offered through the separate accounts of participating insurance companies.
 
  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 Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with its vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund. However, based on experience, the Fund expects that risk of loss to be remote.

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 conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain 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 income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Standards

  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2006, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
 
  On July 13, 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-than-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the year of determination. Adoption of FIN 48 is required no later than the last business day of the first financial statement reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management has not completed their analysis on whether the adoption of FIN 48 will have an impact to the financial statements once adopted.

Security Valuation

  Investments in other mutual funds are valued at the respective net asset values as reported by such funds. Portfolio securities listed on a national exchange or exchanges for which market quotations are available are valued at their last quoted sale price on each business day. If there is no such reported sale, the most recently quoted bid price is used for long securities and the ask price is used for securities sold short. Securities listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity are valued at their amortized cost. Unlisted securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recent quoted bid price for long securities and the ask price is used for securities sold short. Other assets and securities for which no quotation is readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees or persons acting on the behalf of the Trustees. Fair value pricing may be used for significant events such as securities whose trading has been suspended, whose price has become stale or for which there is no currently available price at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 PM Eastern Time).

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

  Securities transactions are recorded no later than one business day following the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, securities transactions are recorded on trade date of the last business day of the reporting period. Net realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Dividends to Shareholders

  Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund distributes its income dividends and all of its net realized capital gains, if any, on an annual basis. The amount 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. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., return of capital, net operating loss, reclassification of market discounts, gain/loss, paydowns, and distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. Dividends to shareholders which exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital.

Expense Allocation

  Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged directly to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one Fund of the Trust, are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method. Expenses which are attributable to more than one Trust are allocated across the Allianz Variable Insurance Products and Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trusts based upon relative net assets or another reasonable basis. Allianz Life Advisors, LLC serves as the investment manager for the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.

3. Related Party Transactions

  Allianz Life Advisers, LLC (the “Manager”) provides investment advisory and management services for the Fund. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Fund to limit the annual expenses, based on the daily net assets of the Fund, through April 30, 2008. All underlying funds in which the Fund may invest are managed, for a fee, by the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager. Expenses incurred by the Fund are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Manager fees”.
 
  For the year ended December 31, 2006, the annual rate due to the Manager and the annual expense limit were as follows:

                 
Annual Rate Expense Limit


AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
    0.20 %     0.30 %

  Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Manager in a particular fiscal year will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Manager to the extent that from time to time through the next 3 fiscal years the repayment will not cause the

11


 

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST
AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements, continued
December 31, 2006

  Fund’s expenses to exceed the stated limit during the respective year. At December 31, 2006, there were no remaining contractual reimbursements that may potentially be made by the Fund in subsequent years.
 
  In addition, the Manager may voluntarily waive or reimburse additional fees in order to maintain more competitive expense ratios. Any voluntary waivers or reimbursements are not subject to repayment in subsequent years. Information on the total amount waived/reimbursed by the Manager or repaid to the Manager by the Fund during the period can be found on the Statement of Operations.
 
  Pursuant to an agreement in effect through October 31, 2006 between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provided certain compliance oversight and filing services to the Trust. The Manager was entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the Manager’s quarterly expenses for certain employees who supported the Trust’s compliance program. In addition, the Manager was entitled to $50.00 per hour for time incurred related to the preparation and filing of certain documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Pursuant to separate agreements effective November 1, 2006 between the Funds and the Manager, the Manager provides a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and certain compliance oversight and filing services to the Trust. Under these agreements the Manager is entitled to an amount equal to a portion of the compensation and certain other expenses related to the individuals performing the CCO and compliance oversight services, as well as $50.00 per hour for time incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of certain documents with the SEC. The fees are paid to the Manager on a quarterly basis. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administrative and compliance services fees.”
 
  BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS Ohio” or the “Administrator”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc., with which an officer of the Trust is affiliated, serves as the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent, and fund accountant, and assists the Trust in all aspects of its administration and operation. The Administrator is entitled to a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, in the amount of $50,000 annually for each Fund. In addition, the Administrator is entitled to annual account fees related to the transfer agency system, and an annual fee of $65,000 ($75,000 prior to November 1, 2006) for providing infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Fund’s compliance program (and providing an employee to serve as the CCO through October 31, 2006). The Administrator is also reimbursed for certain expenses incurred. The total expenses incurred by the Fund for these services are reflected on the Statement of Operations as “Administration fees”. BISYS Fund Services LP (“BISYS”) serves, without compensation, as the distributor of the Fund.
 
  In addition, certain legal fees and expenses are paid to a law firm, Dorsey & Whitney LLP, of which the Secretary of the Fund is a partner. During the year ended December 31, 2006, $28,150 was paid from the Fund relating to these fees and expenses.
 
  Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Manager or the Administrator. Such Officers (except for the Trust’s CCO as noted above) and Trustees receive no compensation from the Trust for serving in their respective roles. For their service to the Trust and to the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust, each non-interested Trustee receives a $20,000 annual Board retainer and a $4,000 and $2,000 meeting fee for each regular in-person Board meeting and Committee meeting, respectively. In addition, Trustees may receive compensation for special meetings and telephonic meetings. Also, the Trustees are reimbursed for certain expenses. Compensation to the Trustees is allocated between the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust in proportion to the assets under management of each Trust. During the year ended December 31, 2006, actual Trustee compensation was $409,000 in total for both Trusts.

4. Security Purchases and Sales

  For the year ended December 31, 2006, cost of purchases and sales of securities (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) were as follows:

                 
Purchases Sales


AZL Fusion Moderate Fund
  $ 423,010,077     $ 112,715,020  

5. Federal Income Tax Information

  It is the Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code under Subchapter M, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of AZL Fusion Moderate Fund (the Fund) of the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Fund of Funds Trust, including the schedule of portfolio investments, as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each period in the two-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; or other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 the Fund as of December 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each period in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

ALLIANZ VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND OF FUNDS TRUST

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

  Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with each Fund’s investment objectives and restrictions, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Allianz Life Advisers, LLC (the “Manager”). The Manager manages each Fund pursuant to an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Trust in respect of each such Fund. The Management Agreement provides that the Manager, subject to the supervision and approval of the Board of Trustees, is responsible for the management of each Fund. This management includes making asset allocation decisions and investment decisions pursuant to which each Fund will invest in shares of Permitted Underlying Funds and in other Underlying Securities. For management services, each Fund pays the Manager a fee computed daily at an annual rate equal to 0.20% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the expenses of each Fund by reimbursing each Fund if and when total Fund operating expenses exceed 0.30% until at least May 1, 2008.
 
  Morningstar Associates, LLC (“Morningstar”) serves as a consultant to the Manager in preparing statistical and other factual information for use in the creation and maintenance of the asset allocation models for the Funds pursuant to an agreement between the Manager and Morningstar. Morningstar serves as a consultant to the Manager with respect to selecting the Underlying Investments and the Fund’s asset allocations among the Permitted Underlying Funds. As provided by the Consultant Agreement the Manager pays Morningstar 0.12% of the average daily net assets of the Funds.
 
  In reviewing the services provided by the Manager and the terms of the Management Agreement, the Board receives and reviews information related to the Manager’s experience and expertise in the variable insurance marketplace. Currently, the Funds are offered only through variable annuities and variable life insurance policies, and not in the retail fund market. In addition, the Board receives information regarding the Manager’s expertise with regard to portfolio diversification and asset allocation requirements within variable insurance products issued by Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and its subsidiary, Allianz Life Insurance Company of New York. Currently, the Funds are offered only through Allianz Life and Allianz of New York variable products.
 
  As required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Trust’s Board has reviewed and approved the Management Agreement with the Manager. The Board’s decision to approve this contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to approve new arrangements and continue the existing arrangements. During its review of the contract, the Board considered many factors, among the most material of which are: the Funds’ investment objectives, the Manager’s management philosophy, personnel, processes and investment performance, including its compliance history and the adequacy of its compliance processes; the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders (and underlying contract owners) and their relative sophistication; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry; and comparable fees in the mutual fund industry.
 
  The Board also considered the compensation and benefits received by the Manager. This includes fees received for services provided to a Fund by employees of the Manager or of affiliates of the Manager and research services received by the Manager from brokers that execute Fund trades, as well as advisory fees. (It is not anticipated that the Manager will have the opportunity to receive such research services until such time as the Funds receive exemptive relief expanding the types of securities which the Funds may acquire.) The Board considered the fact that: (1) the Manager and the Trust are parties to an Administrative Service Agreement, Compliance Services Agreement and Chief Compliance Officer Agreement, under which the Manager is compensated by the Trust for performing certain administrative and compliance services including providing an employee of the Manager or one of its affiliates to act as the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer; (2) Allianz Life Financial Services, LLC, an affiliated person of the Manager, is a registered securities broker-dealer and receives (along with its affiliated persons) payments made by the Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1; and (3) Dresdner Bank AG, an affiliated person of the Manager, receives compensation from seven of the Underlying Funds for acting as a securities lending agent.
 
  The Board is aware that various courts have interpreted provisions of the 1940 Act and have indicated in their decisions that the following factors may be relevant to the Manager’s compensation: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Manager, including the performance of the Funds; the Manager’s cost of providing the services; the extent to which the Manager may realize “economies of scale” as the Funds grow larger; any indirect benefits that may accrue to the Manager and its affiliates as a result of the Manager’s relationship with the Funds; performance and expenses of comparable Funds; the profitability to the Manager from acting as adviser to the Funds; and the extent which the independent Board members are fully informed about all facts bearing on the Manager’s services and fees. The Trust’s Board is aware of these factors and took them into account in its review of the Management Agreement for the Funds.
 
  The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its experience in governing the Trust, and is assisted in its deliberations by the advice of legal counsel to the Independent Trustees. In this regard, the Board requests and receives a significant amount of information about the Funds and the Manager. Some of this information is provided at each regular

16


 

  meeting of the Board; additional information is provided in connection with the particular meeting or meetings at which the Board’s formal review of an advisory contract occurs. In between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board may receive information on particular matters as the need arises. Thus, the Board’s evaluation of the Management Agreement is informed by reports covering such matters as: the Manager’s investment philosophy, personnel and processes, and the Fund’s investment performance (in absolute terms as well as in relationship to its benchmark). In connection with comparing the performance of each Fund versus its benchmark, the Board receives reports on the extent to which the Fund’s performance may be attributed to various factors, such as asset allocation decisions, the performance of the Underlying Funds, and the impact of cash positions and Fund expenses. The Board also receives reports on the Funds’ expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Funds, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the nature and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Manager and its affiliates; compliance and audit reports concerning the Funds and the companies that service them; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Funds and/or the Manager are responding to them.
 
  The Board also receives financial information about the Manager, including reports on the compensation and benefits the Manager derives from its relationships with the Funds. These reports cover not only the fees under the Management Agreement, but also fees, if any, received for providing other services to the Funds. The reports also discuss any indirect or “fall out” benefits the Manager or its affiliates may derive from its relationship with the Funds.
 
  The Management Agreement was most recently approved at an “in-person” meeting of the Board of Trustees on October 24, 2006. In preparation for such meeting, the Trustees requested and evaluated extensive materials from the Manager, including expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives derived from data compiled by an independent third party provider and other sources believed reliable by the Manager. Prior to voting, the Trustees reviewed the proposed approval/continuance of the Agreement with management and with experienced counsel who are independent of the Manager and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed approvals/continuances. The independent (“disinterested”) Trustees also discussed the proposed approvals/continuances in private sessions with such counsel at which no representatives of the Manager were present. In reaching their determinations relating to the approval and/or continuance of the Agreement, in respect of each Fund, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant. The Board based its decision to approve the Agreement on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors, and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations discussed above and below are necessarily relevant to each Fund, nor does the Board consider any one of them to be determinative.
 
  An SEC rule requires that shareholder reports include a discussion of certain factors relating to the selection of the investment adviser and the approval of the advisory fee. The “factors” enumerated by the SEC are set forth below in italics, as well as the Board’s conclusions regarding such factors:
 
  (1) The nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the Manager, subject to the control of the Board of Trustees, administers each Fund’s business and other affairs. The Trustees noted that the Manager also provides the Trust and each Fund with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by any others retained by the Trust on behalf of the Funds) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for the operation of the Trust and the Funds. Except for the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer, the Manager pays all of the compensation of Trustees and officers of the Trust who are employees of the Manager or its affiliates.
 
  The Trustees considered the scope and quality of services provided by the Manager and noted that the scope of such services provided had expanded as a result of recent regulatory and other developments. The Trustees noted that, for example, the Manager is responsible for maintaining and monitoring its own compliance program, and this compliance program has recently been refined and enhanced in light of new regulatory requirements. The Trustees considered the capabilities and resources which the Manager has dedicated to performing services on behalf of the Trust and its Funds. The quality of administrative and other services, including the Manager’s role in coordinating the activities of the Trust’s other service providers, also were considered. The Trustees concluded that, overall, they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Trust and to each of the Funds under the Management Agreement.
 
  (2) The investment performance of the Fund and the Manager. In connection with the fall 2006 contract review process, Trustees received extensive information on the performance results of each of the Funds. This includes, for example, performance information on all of the Funds since their inception on May 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. Such performance information includes information on absolute total return, performance versus the appropriate benchmark(s), the contribution to performance of the Manager’s asset allocation and Underlying Fund selection decisions, and the impact on performance of cash and Fund fees.

  At the Board of Trustees meeting held October 24, 2006 the Trustees noted that while the Funds had not been in operation for a sufficient time period to establish a meaningful track record, they determined that the investment performance of all of the Funds was acceptable given the limited period of their existence.
 
  (3) The costs of services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds. The Board noted that the Manager receives an advisory fee of 20 basis points, out of which it pays Morningstar a consulting fee of 12 basis points. As part of the fall 2006 contract review process, Trustees were provided with information that the actual management fees for the Funds were four basis points higher than the peer group average, and that the total expense ratios for the Fusion Balanced Fund were three basis points lower than the peer group average, for the Fusion Growth Fund were nine basis points lower than the peer group average, and for the Fusion Moderate Fund were three basis points lower than the peer group average.
 
  The Manager provided information concerning the profitability of the Manager’s investment advisory activities for the period from 2003 through the end of 2006 (projected). The only advisory clients of the Manager during such period were the Trust and the Allianz Variable Insurance Products Trust.
 
  The Trustees recognized that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability from investment company advisory agreements because comparative information is not generally publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the structure of the particular adviser, the types of funds it manages, its business mix, numerous assumptions regarding allocation of expenses and the adviser’s capital structure and cost of capital. In considering profitability information, the Trustees considered the possible effect of fall-out benefits to the Manager, and were advised by it that there were no such benefits. The Trustees focused on profitability of the Manager’s relationships with the Funds before taxes and distribution expenses. The Trustees recognized that the Manager should, in the abstract, be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for the services it provides to each Fund.
 
  Based upon the information provided, the Board concluded that the Funds’ advisory fees and expense ratios are not unreasonable, and determined that there was no evidence that the Manager’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds was excessive.
 
  (4) and (5) The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow, and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the advisory fee schedules for the Funds do not contain breakpoints that reduce the fee rate on assets above specified levels. The Trustees recognized that breakpoints may be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale, if any, with Funds that have substantial assets. However, they also recognized that there may not be a direct relationship between any economies of scale realized by Funds and those realized by the Manager as assets increase. The Trustees do not believe there is a uniform methodology for establishing breakpoints that give effect to Fund-specific service provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that in the fund industry as a whole, as well as among funds similar to the Funds, there is no uniformity or pattern in the fees and asset levels at which breakpoints (if any) apply. Depending on the age, size, and other characteristics of a particular fund and its manager’s cost structure, different conclusions can be drawn as to whether there are economies of scale to be realized at any particular level of assets, notwithstanding the intuitive conclusion that such economies exist, or will be realized at some level of total assets. Moreover, because different managers have different cost structures and service models, it is difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from the breakpoints that may have been adopted by other funds. The Trustees also noted that the advisory agreements for many funds do not have breakpoints at all, or if breakpoints exist, they may be at asset levels significantly greater than those of the individual Funds. The Trustees also noted that the total assets in all of the Funds as of June 30, 2006 were approximately $1.25 billion, which was represented by three Funds, and that the largest Fund had assets of approximately $600 million.
 
  The Board receives quarterly reports on the level of Fund assets. It expects to consider whether or not to approve the Management Agreement at a meeting to be held prior to December 31, 2007, and will at that time, or prior thereto, consider: (a) the extent to which economies of scale can be realized, and (b) whether the advisory fee should be modified to reflect such economies of scale, if any.
 
  Having taken these factors into account, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Funds’ advisory fee rate schedules was acceptable under each Fund’s circumstances.
