Maxim High Yield Bond Portfolio

 

During the 12-month period ending December 31, 2006, the Maxim High Yield Bond Portfolio, returned 10.12%, underperforming the fund's benchmark, the Citigroup High Yield Market Index, which returned 11.30% during the period.

The Citigroup High Yield Index returned 11.30% for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2006. The Portfolio outperformed the Lehman Aggregate and Emerging Markets, which returned 4.33% and 10.49%, respectively and trailed the S&P 500 which returned 15.84%. The Portfolio generated over 800 basis points (bps) of excess return for the year. Lower rated faired better than higher-rated issuers. Specifically, CCC and lower rated issues on average gained approximately +19.40% for the period, while B’s and BB’s returned approximately +12.00% and +9.80% respectively. The option-adjusted spread (OAS) of the Index narrowed from +356bps as of 12/31/05 to +284bps as of 12/31/06. The best performing industries included Media Cable and Consumer Cyclical which returned 20.37% and 16.10%, respectively. Charter Communications was the top Media Cable performer returning 34.39% for the period. Charter has, for the most part, completed their cable system upgrades and is expected to realize significant revenue increases with the roll-out of new products. GM was the top performing Consumer Cyclical performer returning 28.33%. GM bondholders benefited from GM’s restructuring efforts. In addition GM’s sale of a majority stake in their finance unit, GMAC, helped bolster GM’s liquidity profile. New issue high yield supply totaled approximately $144bn in 2006, higher than the prior annual record of $137.7bn set in 1998. LBO acquisition financings accounted for 47% of new issue volumes, the highest level on record. The most notable transactions included the financing for HCA’s $33bn LBO, the largest LBO on record and Freescale’s $5.95bn transaction was the largest high yield deal ever. 2006 also marked the first time that acquisition related financing topped refinancing related transactions, approximately $68bn versus approximately 58bn. The US speculative grade default rate fell from 2.34% (on an issuer-weighted basis) at the end of 2005 to 1.82% for the trailing 12 months ended Dec 2006. A 25 year low only 20 companies defaulted during the period. The average annual default rate from 1980-2006 was 4.52%.

The following Maxim High Yield Bond Portfolio positioning impacted relative performance for 2006. Issue selection aided relative performance due to an overweight to Level 3 Communications which returned 33.22% and due to 8 of the 10 largest underweights underperforming the market. Underweight to General Motors and Ford hurt performance which returned 28.33% and 21.93% respectively. Sector allocation had marginal impact on performance as the positive impact of an overweight to Media Cable, which returned 2.37%, and an underweight to Utilities, which returned 9.10%, was offset by the negative impact of an overweight to Media Non-Cable, which returned 10.09% and an underweight to Consumer Cyclicals, which returned 16.10%. Ratings distribution aided relative performance due to an overweight to CCC rated issues, which returned 19.40%, and an underweight to BB rated issues, which returned 9.80%.

This graph, prepared in accordance with SEC regulations, compares a $10,000 investment in the Maxim High Yield Portfolio, made at its inception, with the performance of the Citigroup High Yield Index. Results include the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Maxim Series Fund, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of High Yield Bond Portfolio of the Maxim Series Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from May 21, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003. 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of High Yield Bond Portfolio of the Maxim Series Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from May 21, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2006

 

1.

ORGANIZATION & SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Maxim Series Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is a Maryland corporation organized on December 7, 1981 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company. The Fund presently consists of thirty-one portfolios. Interests in the Maxim High Yield Bond Portfolio (the Portfolio) are included herein and are represented by a separate class of beneficial interest of the Fund. Effective December 7, 2006, the Maxim Salomon Brothers High Yield Bond Portfolio’s name changed to Maxim High Yield Bond Portfolio. The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek to obtain high current income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective when consistent with the primary objective. The Portfolio is diversified as defined in the 1940 Act. The Portfolio is currently offered only as an investment option for the Maxim Profile Portfolios.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Fund.

Security Valuation

Short-term securities with a maturity of 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost.

 

For securities that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the principal exchange will be used. If the closing price is not available, the current bid will be used. For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used. In the event that trading on a security is halted prior to the end of the trading day due to a significant event, portfolio management will determine whether further pricing adjustment is necessary.

 

Fixed income and other securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors.

 

Foreign securities are valued at the closing price on the security’s primary exchange. If the closing price is not available, the current bid will be used. Foreign equity securities are also subject to a fair value pricing review daily (see below). Foreign exchange rates are valued utilizing the New York closing rates.

Because developments that could affect the values of foreign securities may occur between the close of the foreign market where the security is principally traded and the valuation time, current market prices may not be readily available when the Portfolio determines the net asset value as of valuation time, and therefore, the Portfolio may adjust previous closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the valuation time. While fair value determinations involve judgments that are inherently subjective, these determinations are made in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. Factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of U.S. securities market, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds. The effect of fair value pricing as described above is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the board believes reflects fair value. This policy is intended to assure that the Portfolio’s net asset value fairly reflects security values at the time of pricing. Developments that might be considered significant events to trigger fair value pricing could be a natural disaster, government actions or significant fluctuations in domestic or foreign markets.

 

The Portfolio invests in high yield bonds, some of which may be rated below investment grade. These high yield bonds may be more susceptible than higher grade bonds to real or perceived adverse economic or industry conditions. The secondary market, on which high yield bonds are traded, may also be less liquid than the market for higher grade bonds.

The Portfolio may have elements of risk due to concentrated investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country. Such concentrations may subject the Portfolio to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions and/or possible impositions of adverse foreign governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions.

Restricted Securities

The Portfolio may own certain investment securities which are restricted as to resale under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. These securities are valued after giving due consideration to pertinent factors including recent private sales, market conditions, and the issuer’s financial performance. Aggregate cost, fair value and percent of net assets of these restricted securities held at December 31, 2006 were $25,362,965, $26,052,697 and 16.05%, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translations

The accounting records of the Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities, and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the dates of the transactions.

The Portfolio does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded by the Portfolio and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Dividends

Dividends from net investment income of the Portfolio are declared and paid semi-annually. Income dividends are reinvested in additional shares at net asset value. Dividends from capital gains of the Portfolio, if any, are declared and reinvested at least annually in additional shares at net asset value.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). The cost of investments sold is determined on a specific lot selection.

Dividend income for the Portfolio is accrued as of the ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of discounts and premiums, is recorded daily.

Federal Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, the Portfolio currently qualifies, and intends to remain qualified, as a regulated investment company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code by distributing substantially all of its taxable net income (both ordinary and capital gain) to its shareholders and complying with other requirements for regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made.

Classification of Distributions to Shareholders

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition

threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Portfolio has evaluated the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial position and the results of its operations and does not anticipate that there will be any adjustments required.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (FAS 157). FAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 shall be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Portfolio is evaluating the impact that the adoption of FAS 157 will have on its financial position and the results of its operations. As such, any necessary adjustments pursuant to FAS 157 will be reflected on the semi-annual report for the period ending June 30, 2008.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT & OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with GW Capital Management, LLC, doing business as Maxim Capital Management, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A). As compensation for its services to the Fund, the investment adviser receives monthly compensation at the annual rate of 1.10% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The management fee encompasses fund operation expenses.

Effective April 1, 2006, GWFS Equities, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A, became the principal underwriter to distribute and market the Portfolio. Prior to that date, Greenwood Investments, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A, was the principal underwriter. FASCore, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A, performs transfer agent servicing functions for the Portfolio.

As of December 31, 2006, there were thirty-one Portfolios of the Fund for which the Directors served as Directors. The total compensation paid to the independent directors with respect to all funds for which they serve as Directors was $102,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain officers of the Fund are also directors and/or officers of GWL&A or its subsidiaries. No officer or interested director of the Fund receives any compensation directly from the Fund.  

3.

PURCHASES & SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding all U.S. Government securities and short-term securities) were $144,258,351 and $114,995,306, respectively. For the same period, there were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government securities.

4.

UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION)

At December 31, 2006, the U.S. Federal income tax cost basis was $156,050,230. The Portfolio had gross appreciation of securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost of $4,587,820 and gross depreciation of securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value of $1,236,217 resulting in net appreciation of $3,351,603.

 

5.

SECURITIES LOANED

The Portfolio has entered into a securities lending agreement with its custodian. Under the terms of the agreement the Portfolio receives annual income, recorded monthly, after deductions of other amounts payable to the custodian or to the borrower from lending transactions. In exchange for such fees, the custodian is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Portfolio against receipt of cash collateral at least equal in value at all times to the value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest. Cash collateral is invested by the custodian in securities approved by the Board of Directors and is disclosed as “Collateral for securities loaned” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Portfolio also continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. As of December 31, 2006, the Portfolio had securities on loan valued at $26,970,292 and received collateral of $27,231,931 for such loan. The Portfolio bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of collateral available for return to a borrower due to a loss in an approved investment.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 were as follows:

Post-October losses

 

0

Total accumulated gain on investments

$

2,968,674

 

Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. The differences between book basis

and tax basis are primarily due to tax deferral of losses on wash sales. For the year ended December 31, 2006 the Portfolio reclassified $46,706 from paid-in capital to undistributed net investment income and $2,878 from accumulated net realized loss on investments to undistributed net investment income. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Portfolio.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

 

 

 

 

 

Maxim High Yield Bond Portfolio

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (June 30, 2006 to December 31, 2006).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Actual Expenses

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio'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 Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

With respect to the prohibitions on (a) bookkeeping; (b) financial information systems design and implementation; (c) appraisal, valuation, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; (d) actuarial; and (e) internal audit outsourcing, such services are permitted to be provided if it is reasonable to conclude that the results of these services will not be subject to audit procedures during an audit of the audit client's financial statements.

For non-audit services provided to the adviser and entities in a control relationship with the adviser, no pre-approval is required if: (a) the aggregate amount of all non-audit services provided constitute not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided to the Fund, the Fund's investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser if that entity provides ongoing services to the Fund; (b) these services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (c) the services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit.

 

investment adviser; and (b) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser if that entity provides ongoing services to the Fund.4 The Audit Committee may approve audit and non-audit services on a case-by-case basis or adopt pre-approval policies and procedures that are detailed as to a particular service, provided that the Audit Committee is informed promptly of each service, or use a combination of these approaches.

 

Delegation. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of the Audit Committee's members. Any member or members to whom such pre-approval authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

 

(e)

(2)  100% of the services described pursuant to paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item 4 of Form N-CSR were approved by the audit committee, and no such services were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 

(f)

Not Applicable.

 

(g)

(h)

The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
