Maxim Bond Index Portfolio

 

Fixed income returns were positive across asset classes in 2007, despite the very poor performance of the HEL subcategory within the ABS sector. Significantly lower yields, coupon income and reinvestment of cash flow supported positive returns, while significantly wider spreads were a drag on performance, particularly in the second half of the year. Spreads widened across asset classes as the bad news from the subprime sector hit the market, continued to widen as REITS, hedge funds and mortgage originators sold into ‘panic’ spreads to raise cash, and then widened again as banks and brokerage houses took enormous writedowns which is requiring intense balance sheet management. The “risk adjustment process” is ongoing and will continue to drive volatility higher, stock prices lower particularly in the financial services category, and in general continue to generate uncertainty with respect to the level and direction of interest rates and asset class allocation.

 

With the exception of the ABS and CMBS sectors, absolute returns were up from 2006, as interest rates were flat until early May, spiked in response to unexpected Fed non-action in mid-June and then dropped across the curve through the end of 2007. Government sectors, including U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Agencies, and other government-related assets significantly outperformed other asset classes last year. Intermediate duration assets in general outperformed, resulting from the combination of falling rates and a steepening yield curve. Spread sectors’ returns were differentiated by quality as MBS (Agency backed) outperformed. Similarly, with respect to performance by quality within the corporate sector, higher rated corporate credits outperformed. Volatility was relatively high, particularly in the second half of the year, spreads across asset classes were relatively unchanged until mid-year and then they widened precipitously in response to the sub-prime and ensuing financial markets crises. Spreads in the Financials sector were particularly hard hit as investor perceptions changed; the market dramatically discounting financial institutions’ credit quality, especially in long-dated assets where returns were negative for the year. Extreme return differences were experienced within the Financials sector as a steep credit curve emerged, with AAA Financials returning +6.82% and BBB Financials returning -1.89%, a range of 871 basis points. The brunt of the credit crisis was felt in the ABS Home Equity sector, with spread widening leading to negative returns of -8.25% for the year.

 

The Maxim Bond Index Portfolio’s tracking error (defined as the total return of the Portfolio minus the total return of the Index) for 2007 was 23 (.23%), basis points. The performance objective of this portfolio is to track the Lehman Aggregate Index. In 2006, the Maxim Bond Index (MBIX) performance trailed the Lehman Aggregate Index by -1 (-.01%) basis points. In 2005, the Maxim Bond Index performance was ahead of the Lehman Aggregate Index by 18 (0.18%) basis points. This follows underperformance, or tracking error, of 55 basis points (-.55%), in 2004, and 51 basis points (-0.51%) in 2003. Three consecutive years of solid performance relative to the Benchmark reflect implementation of a disciplined process to management of the Portfolio, and ongoing adherence to the concept of indexing. Price performance, coupon income, and strong net participant inflows increased the Portfolio from $151.3 million in 2006 to $261.6 million in 2007. It should be noted however, that the size of the Portfolio can be a barrier to replication which may cause negative tracking error relative to the Index. As of December 31, 2007, MBIX had 302 securities with a market value of roughly $261.6 million, compared to the Lehman Aggregate, which had 9,198 securities with a market value of $10.1 trillion. Looking forward to 2008, it remains critical to approximate and maintain Index characteristics in order to minimize tracking error.

This graph, prepared in accordance with SEC regulations, compares a $10,000 investment in the Maxim Bond Index Portfolio, made at its inception, with the performance of the Lehman Aggregate 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 the Maxim Bond Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) one of the portfolios constituting the Maxim Series Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the 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.  The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's 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, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 Maxim Bond Index Portfolio of the  Maxim Series Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 2007, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 Bond Index Portfolio (the Portfolio) are included herein and are represented by a separate class of beneficial interest of the Fund. The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek investment results that track the total return of the debt securities that comprise the Lehman Aggregate Bond Index. The Portfolio is diversified as defined in the 1940 Act. The Portfolio is available only as an investment option for certain variable annuity contracts and variable life policies issued by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (GWL&A), First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and New England Financial, and certain qualified retirement plans for which GWL&A, First Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and New England Financial provide administrative services and 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, which approximates fair value.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

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 the 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.







 

 

 

Investments in securities of governmental agencies may only be guaranteed by the respective agency’s limited authority to borrow from the U.S. Government and may not be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

 

 

 

Dividends

 

 

 

Dividends from net investment income of the Portfolio are declared and paid quarterly. 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.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

Effective January 2, 2007, the Portfolio adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which requires that the financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Management has concluded that the Portfolio has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of FIN 48. The Portfolio files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Colorado jurisdictions.  No federal income tax returns are currently under examination.  The statute of limitations on the Portfolio’s federal tax return filings remains open for the years ended December 31, 2004 through December 31, 2007.







 

 

 

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, if any, that the adoption of FAS 157 will have on its financial statements.

 

 

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including and Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits an entity to measure financial instruments and certain other items at estimated fair value. Most of the provisions of FAS 159 are elective; however, the amendment to FASB No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities”, applies to all entities that own trading and available-for-sale securities. The fair value option (a) may generally be applied instrument by instrument, (b) is irrevocable unless a new election date occurs, and (c) must be applied to the entire instrument and not to only a portion of the instrument. FAS 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Portfolio adopted the provisions of FAS 159 on January 1, 2008.

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, 2007, the Portfolio had securities on loan valued at $53,371,025 and received collateral of $53,390,330 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 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, differing treatments regarding recognition of market discount and original issue discount. For the year ended December 31, 2007 the Portfolio reclassified $18,460 from paid-in capital to undistributed net investment income and $159,179 from undistributed net investment income to accumulated net realized loss on investments. This adjustment has 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.

 

 

 

At December 31, 2007, the Portfolio had available for federal income tax purposes an unused capital loss carryforwards of $89,837 and $214,401, which expire in the years 2014 and 2015, respectively.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

 

 

 

 

 

Maxim Bond Index 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, 2007 to December 31, 2007).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.

 

Pre-Approval of Audit Services. The Audit Committee must approve prior to retention all audit, review or attest engagements required under the securities laws that are provided to the Fund by its independent auditors. The Audit Committee will not grant such approval to any auditors that are proposed to perform an audit for the Fund if a chief executive officer, controller, chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or any person serving in an equivalent position for the Fund that is responsible for the financial reporting or operations of the Fund was employed by those auditors and participated in any capacity in an audit of the Fund during the year period (or such other period proscribed under SEC rules) preceding the date of initiation of such audit.              

 

Pre-Approval of Non-Audit Services. The Audit Committee must pre-approve any non-audit services, including tax services, to be provided to the Fund by its independent auditors (except those within applicable de minimis statutory or

regulatory exceptions)1 provided that the Fund's auditors will not provide the following non-audit services to the Fund: (a) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (b) financial information systems design and implementation; (c) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; (d) actuarial services; (e) internal audit outsourcing services; (f) management functions or human resources; (g) broker-dealer, investment adviser, or investment banking services; (h) legal services; (i) expert services unrelated to the audit; and (j) any other service that the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.2

 

Pre-approval with respect to Non-Fund Entities. The Audit Committee must pre-approve any non-audit services that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund (except those within applicable de minimis statutory or regulatory exceptions)3 to be provided by the Fund's auditors to (a) the Fund's 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

_________________________

No pre-approval is required as to non-audit services provided to the Fund if: (a) the aggregate amount of all non-audit services provided to the Fund constitute not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (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.
