Shareholder Expense Example

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 (January 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011).


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.

   During Period*
     (01/01/11)    (06/30/11)    (01/01/11 -

   $1,000.00    $1,028.00    $3.24

Hypothetical

        

(5% return before expenses)

   $1,000.00    $1,023.15    $3.24

*Expenses are equal to the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio of 0.70%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 169/365 days to reflect the one-half year period.

Performance does not include any fees or expenses of variable insurance contracts, IRAs, qualified retirement plans or college savings programs, if applicable. If such fees or expenses were included, returns would be lower.

1.    ORGANIZATION AND 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 sixty-two portfolios. Interests in the Maxim International Index Portfolio (the Portfolio) are included herein and are represented by a separate class of beneficial interest of the Fund. The portfolio commenced operations on January 13, 2011. The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek investment results that track the total return of the common stocks that comprise the MSCI EAFE Index. The Portfolio is diversified as defined in the 1940 Act. The Portfolio is available as an investment option for insurance company separate accounts for certain variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (variable insurance contracts), to individual retirement account (IRA) owners, to qualified retirement plans and college savings programs, and to asset allocation portfolios that are series of the fund.

A new share class for the Portfolio, Class L, became effective with the SEC on December 30, 2010. This class of the Portfolio is not yet capitalized.

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.

Net Asset Value

The net asset value of the Portfolio’s shares is determined by dividing the net assets attributable to the Portfolio by the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Portfolio on each business day.

Security Valuation

The value of assets in the Portfolio is determined as of the close of trading on each valuation date.

Short-term securities purchased with less than 60 days remaining until maturity and all U.S. Treasury Bills are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days remaining until maturity are valued on the basis of quotations from brokers or dealers or pricing services, and will continue to be priced until final maturity.

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.

Foreign exchange rates are determined by utilizing the New York closing rates.

Foreign securities are generally valued using an adjusted systematic fair value price from an independent pricing service.


Independent pricing services are utilized when possible and approved by the Board of Directors. In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect significant events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented. Developments that might be considered significant events to trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or significant fluctuations in domestic and foreign markets.

The following table provides examples of the inputs that are commonly used for valuing particular classes of securities. These classifications are not exclusive, and any inputs may be used to value any other security class.

 

Class

  

Inputs

Equity Investments:

  

Common Stock (Domestic and Foreign)

  

Close price, bids, evaluated bids, exchange rates, open and close price of local exchange, various index data and US and foreign news sources.

Preferred Stock

  

Benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications.

Derivative Investments:

  

Futures Contracts

  

Exchange traded close price.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

  

Reported trades, swap curves, currency volatility, net present value of cash flows and news sources.

Short-term Investments:

  

Amortized cost.

Securities Lending Collateral:

  

Matures next day and therefore priced at par.

The Portfolio classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuations based on either directly or indirectly observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.

As of June 30, 2011, the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s investments are detailed in the following table. The Portfolio recognizes transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred. There were no significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the period. Level 3 investments in securities were not considered a significant portion of the Portfolio.

Included in Change in net unrealized appreciation on investments on the Statement of Operations, and on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

Risk Factors

Investing in the Portfolio may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, the following.

Unforeseen developments in market conditions may result in the decline of prices of, and the income generated by, the securities held by the Portfolio. These events may have adverse effects on the Portfolio such as a decline in the value and liquidity of many securities held by the Portfolio, and a decrease in net asset value. Such unforeseen developments may limit or preclude the Portfolio’s ability to achieve its investment objective.

Investing in stocks may involve larger price fluctuation and greater potential for loss than other types of investments. This may cause the securities held by the Portfolio to be subject to larger short-term declines in value.


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. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers have unique risks not present in securities of U.S. issuers, such as greater price volatility and less liquidity.

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.

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. These gains and losses are included in net realized gain or loss on investments and foreign currency transactions and in change in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations on the Statement of Operations.

Financial Futures Contracts

Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Receipts or payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. When the Portfolio enters into a closing transaction, it will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened or purchased and its value at the time it was closed.

Forward Currency Transactions

A forward currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated rate. Upon closing of such contract there is a gain or loss arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates.


Dividends

Dividends from net investment income of the Portfolio, if any, are declared and paid 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.

Repurchase Agreements

The Portfolio may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Portfolio’s investment advisor has determined are creditworthy. The Portfolio, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Collateral is at least equal to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays or restrictions upon a Portfolio’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Portfolio seeks to assert its rights.

The Portfolio, along with certain other portfolios in Maxim Series Fund, Inc., may invest in repurchase agreement transactions that are jointly collateralized by various U.S. Treasury or Agency obligations.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from 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

The Portfolio intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains each period. The Portfolio is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Classification of Distributions to Shareholders

The character of distributions made during the period 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.

2.    INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND 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 GWL&A. As compensation for its services to the Fund, the investment adviser receives monthly compensation at the annual rate of 0.70% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The management fee encompasses fund operation expenses.

GWFS Equities, Inc. (the Distributor), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A and the principal underwriter to distribute and market the Portfolio. FASCore, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A, performed transfer agent servicing functions for the Portfolio until May 13, 2011 when the service moved to an unaffiliated vendor.

The total compensation paid to the independent directors with respect to all sixty-two portfolios for which they serve as Directors was $205,500 for the period ended June 30, 2011. 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 AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

For the period ended June 30, 2011, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding all U.S. Government securities and short-term securities) were $138,828,904 and $1,444,298, respectively. For the same period, there were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government securities.

4.    UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION)

At June 30, 2011, the U.S. Federal income tax cost basis was $140,021,269. The Portfolio had gross appreciation of securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost of $6,759,038 and gross depreciation of securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value of $5,594,464 resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $1,164,574.

5.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Portfolio uses futures contracts in order for the Portfolio to hold cash but maintain index returns with the objective of minimizing tracking error versus the benchmark index. Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit sufficient liquidity are utilized. The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the clearinghouse will fail to perform its obligations.

The Portfolio captures potential returns from changes in international exchange rates or reduces the risk of undesired currency exposure by entering into forward foreign currency contracts. The Portfolio uses forward foreign currency contracts when it is determined that it is more cost or tax efficient to use derivative instruments rather than investing directly in the underlying bond or currency market.

Valuation of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2011 is as follows:

 

 

        Asset Derivatives          Liability Derivatives  
Derivatives Not Accounted for as
Hedging Instruments
        Statement of Assets and Liabilities

Futures Contracts       Variation margin on futures contracts    $ 60,920           

The effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations for the period ended June 30, 2011 is as follows:

 

  
Derivatives Not Accounted for as
Hedging Instruments
        Statement of Operations Location    Value          Statement of Operations Location    Value  
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts               Change in net unrealized appreciation on forward foreign currency contracts    $ 17,399   
Futures Contracts       Net realized (loss) on futures contracts    $ (240,248      Change in net unrealized appreciation on futures contracts    $ 176,692   


The notional value of open forward foreign currency contracts held at June 30, 2011 is lower than the average notional value during the period. As of June 30, 2011 the Portfolio held a notional value of $15,904,323. The average notional value outstanding during the period was $21,081,252.

The number of futures contracts held at June 30, 2011 is higher than the average outstanding during the period. As of June 30, 2011, the Portfolio held 74 futures contracts. The average number of futures contracts outstanding during the year was 50.

6.    SECURITIES LOANED

The Portfolio has entered into a securities lending agreement with its custodian. Under the terms of the agreement the Portfolio receives 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 in securities approved by the Board of Directors. On the Statement of Assets and Liabilities the securities purchased with cash collateral are included in Investments in securities, while the corresponding liability appears as Payable upon return of securities loaned. The securities are also included in the Schedule of Investments. As of June 30, 2011 the Portfolio had securities on loan valued at $2,241,901 and received collateral of $2,348,631 for such loan which was invested in repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government or U.S. Government Agency securities. The Portfolio also continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. 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.

7.    DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and/or realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. 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.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, MCM acts as investment adviser and, subject to oversight by the Board, directs the investments of each Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. MCM also provides, subject to oversight by the Board, the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. In addition, the Fund operates under a manager-of-managers structure pursuant to an order issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which permits MCM to enter into and materially amend Sub-Advisory Agreements with Board approval but without shareholder approval with respect to Sub-Advisers that are not affiliates of MCM. Under this structure, MCM is also responsible for monitoring and evaluating the performance of the Sub-Advisers and for recommending the hiring, termination and replacement of Sub-Advisers to the Board.

Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreements, each Sub-Adviser, subject to general supervision and oversight by MCM and the Board, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio(s) sub-advised by it, and for making decisions to buy, sell


or hold any particular security. MCM is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolios that do not have a Sub-Adviser.

On March 23, 2011, the Independent Directors met separately with independent legal counsel in advance of the Meeting to evaluate information furnished by MCM and the Sub-Advisers in connection with the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”). The Independent Directors also considered additional information provided in response to their requests made following the March meeting.

In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered such information as the Board deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board noted that performance information is provided to the Board on an ongoing basis at regular Board meetings held throughout the year. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor as being determinative. Rather, the Board’s approvals were based on each Director’s business judgment after consideration of the information as a whole. Individual Directors may have weighted certain factors differently and assigned varying degrees of materiality to information considered by the Board.

Based upon its review of the Agreements and the information provided to it, the Board concluded that the Agreements were fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment. The principal factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors’ determinations to approve the continuation of the Agreements are discussed below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided and to be provided to the Portfolios by MCM and the Sub-Advisers. Among other things, the Board considered each adviser’s personnel, experience, resources and performance track record, its ability to provide or obtain such services as may be necessary in managing, acquiring and disposing of investments on behalf of the Portfolios, and its ability to provide research and obtain and evaluate the economic, statistical and financial data relevant to the investment policies of the Portfolios. The Board also considered each adviser’s reputation for management of its investment strategies, its overall financial condition, technical resources, operational capabilities, and compliance policies and procedures, as well as the adviser’s practices regarding the selection and compensation of brokers and dealers for the execution of portfolio transactions and the procedures it uses for obtaining best execution of portfolio transactions. Consideration also was given to the fact that the Board meets with representatives of the advisers at regular Board meetings held throughout the year to discuss portfolio management strategies and performance. Additionally, the quality of each adviser’s communications with the Board, as well as the adviser’s responsiveness to the Board, was taken into account. The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Portfolios by MCM and the Sub-Advisers.

Investment Performance


The Board considered the investment performance of each Portfolio. The Board reviewed performance information for each Portfolio as compared against various benchmarks and the performance of similar funds. For Portfolios other than the Fund’s “Index Portfolios” (comprised of the Maxim Bond Index Portfolio, Maxim Index 600 Portfolio, Maxim Stock Index Portfolio, Maxim S&P 500® Index Portfolio, Maxim International Index Portfolio, and Maxim S&P MidCap 400® Index Portfolio), this information included, to the extent applicable, annualized returns for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2010, calendar year returns for the five-year period ended December 31, 2010, and risk-adjusted performance measures. In addition, except for the Index Portfolios and the Fund’s “Asset Allocation Portfolios” (comprised of the Maxim Profile Portfolios, Maxim Lifetime Asset Allocation Portfolios, Maxim SecureFoundationSM Lifetime Portfolios, and Maxim SecureFoundationSM Balanced Portfolio), for which Morningstar performance information is not provided, this information also included the Portfolios’ Morningstar category and overall ratings and a rolling quarterly analysis of long-term performance relative to the applicable Morningstar category. The Board also considered the composition of each Portfolio’s “peer” group of funds, as determined by MCM based on funds of similar size and asset class from within, to the extent applicable, the Portfolio’s Morningstar category. In evaluating the performance of each Portfolio, the Board noted how the Portfolio performed relative to the short- and long-term returns of the applicable benchmarks and peer groups.

For Portfolios other than the Index Portfolios and Asset Allocation Portfolios, the Board assessed performance based principally on the long-term rolling quarterly analysis for each Portfolio in which each quarter’s performance is, in turn, based on a composite of the Portfolio’s 3-, 5- and 10-year annualized returns, 3- and 5-year risk-adjusted performance, and Morningstar rating. For purposes of its annual review of advisory contracts, the Board generally considered a Portfolio to have performed satisfactorily unless the Portfolio has had a history of persistent underperformance based on the Portfolio’s long-term rolling analysis. In this regard, the Board noted that the Maxim MFS International Value Portfolio, Maxim Putnam High Yield Bond Portfolio, and Maxim Small-Cap Growth Portfolio fell below the Portfolio quantitative benchmark for long-term performance. It was noted that the Portfolios’ underperformance largely stemmed from previous Sub-Advisers, and that each current Sub-Adviser’s similarly managed retail fund met the Portfolio quantitative benchmark for long-term performance.

With regard to the Maxim MFS International Value Portfolio, the Board noted that MFS replaced the Portfolio’s previous Sub-Adviser in September 2009, and concluded that, in light of the Portfolio’s competitive performance since the change in Sub-Advisers, the Board was satisfied with the management of the Portfolio. Similarly, with respect to the Maxim Putnam High Yield Bond Portfolio, the Board noted that Putnam had replaced the Portfolio’s previous Sub-Adviser in August 2009. While noting that the Portfolio underperformed its benchmark in 2010 by a relatively small amount, the Board concluded that it was generally satisfied with the management of the Portfolio. With regard to the Maxim Small-Cap Growth Portfolio, the Board considered the factors attributing to the Portfolio’s performance, changes in the management of the Sub-Adviser, and the short-term and long-term performance of the Portfolio. The Board also took into consideration its discussion with management regarding monitoring the Portfolio’s performance, and concluded that the Portfolio’s performance was being addressed. As to the remaining Portfolios (other than the Index Portfolios and Asset Allocation Portfolios), the Board determined that it was satisfied with investment performance.


The Board reviewed, to the extent available, the performance of each Index Portfolio as compared against the performance of the index or composite index the Portfolio is designed to track, and concluded that it was satisfied with the investment performance of the Index Portfolios. With regard to the Maxim International Index Portfolio and Maxim S&P MidCap 400® Index Portfolio, the Board noted that no performance information was provided for their consideration as these Portfolios had commenced operations in January 2011.

The Board also reviewed, to the extent available, the performance of each Asset Allocation Portfolio as compared against the performance of similarly managed funds. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the investment performance of the Maxim Profile Portfolios. With respect to the Maxim Lifetime Asset Allocation Portfolios, Maxim SecureFoundationSM Lifetime Portfolios, and Maxim SecureFoundationSM Balanced Portfolio, the Board noted the Portfolios’ short track record, and that it was generally satisfied with the management of these Portfolios.

Costs and Profitability

The Board considered the costs of services provided and profits estimated to have been realized by MCM and, to the extent available, the Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Portfolios. With respect to the costs of services, the Board considered the structure and the level of the applicable investment management fees and other expenses payable by the Portfolios, as well as the structure and level of the applicable sub-advisory fees payable by MCM to the Sub-Advisers. In evaluating the applicable management and sub-advisory fees, the Board considered the fees payable by and the total expense ratios of similar funds managed by other investment advisers, as determined by MCM based on each Portfolio’s Morningstar category, to the extent applicable. With the exception of the Index Portfolios and Asset Allocation Portfolios (for which comparable information from Morningstar was not available), the Board also considered each Portfolio’s total expense ratio in comparison to the median expense ratio for all funds within the same Morningstar fund category as the Portfolio.

Based on the information provided, the Board noted that the Portfolios’ management fees were within the range of fees paid by similar funds, although many of the fees were at the higher end of the range. The Board also noted that the total annual operating expense ratios of the Portfolios (other than the Index Portfolios and Asset Allocation Portfolios) were generally comparable to the annual expense ratios of similar funds, although some Portfolios had expense ratios that were at the higher end in comparison to the similar funds, including the Maxim Small-Cap Value Portfolio, Maxim MidCap Value Portfolio, and Maxim Templeton Global Bond Portfolio. The Board further noted that the Portfolios’ expense ratios were near or lower than the median expense ratio for the applicable Morningstar fund category, with the exception of the Maxim Templeton Global Bond Portfolio which, relative to the other Portfolios, had an expense ratio that was notably higher than the median expense ratio for its Morningstar fund category. Additionally, the Board considered the fact that MCM charged higher advisory fees to certain internally managed Maxim Bond Portfolios than to certain similarly managed institutional bond portfolios, as well as the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided and the higher costs and greater administrative and regulatory complexities and risk associated with managing those Maxim accounts, as presented by MCM.


With respect to the Index Portfolios and Profile Portfolios, the Board noted that the Portfolios’ total expense ratios were within the range of those of similar funds, even though some Portfolios had expense ratios that were at the higher end of the range, including the Maxim Stock Index Portfolio, Maxim Bond Index Portfolio and Maxim S&P 500® Index Portfolio. With regard to the sub-advisory fees, it was noted that those fees are paid by MCM out of its management fees, and that the rates payable by MCM to the Sub-Advisers were generally the result of arms-length negotiations given that, with the exception of Putnam, none of the Sub-Advisers is an affiliate of MCM.

As for the Lifetime Portfolios, the Board noted that the Portfolios’ management fees were within the range of fees paid by similar funds, although some of the fees were at the higher end of the range. The Board also noted that the total annual operating expense ratios of the Lifetime Portfolios were higher than the expense ratios of similar funds. With regard to the Maxim SecureFoundationSM Lifetime Portfolios and Maxim SecureFoundationSM Balanced Portfolio, the Board noted that no comparative fund expense or fee information was provided due to the lack of comparable funds in the industry.

The Board also considered the overall financial soundness of MCM and each Sub-Adviser and the profits estimated to have been realized by MCM and its affiliates and, to the extent available, by the Sub-Advisers. The Board requested and reviewed the financial statements and profitability information from MCM and, to the extent such information was available, the Sub-Advisers. In evaluating the information provided by MCM, the Board noted that there is no recognized standard or uniform methodology for determining profitability for this purpose. The Board further noted that there are limitations inherent in allocating costs and calculating profitability for an organization such as MCM, and that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability between advisers because comparative information is generally not publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the adviser’s organization, capital structure and cost of capital, the types of funds it manages, its mix of business, and the adviser’s assumptions regarding allocations of revenue and expenses. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the costs of the services provided and the profits estimated to have been realized by MCM and, if available, the Sub-Advisers were reasonable in relation to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Portfolios grow and whether current fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of investors. In evaluating economies of scale, the Board considered, among other things, the current level of management and sub-advisory fees payable by the Portfolios and MCM, respectively, comparative fee information, the profitability and financial condition of MCM, and the current level of Portfolio assets. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the Portfolios generally were not of sufficient size to identify economies of scale.

Other Factors

The Board considered ancillary benefits derived or to be derived by MCM or the Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Portfolios as part of the total mix of information


evaluated by the Board. In this regard, the Board noted that certain Sub-Advisers received ancillary benefits from soft-dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research to the Sub-Adviser in return for allocating the Portfolio’s brokerage to such brokers. The Board also noted where services were provided to the Portfolios by an affiliate of MCM or a Sub-Adviser. The Board took into account the fact that the Portfolios are used as funding vehicles under variable life and annuity contracts offered by insurance companies affiliated with MCM and as funding vehicles under retirement plans for which affiliates of MCM may provide various retirement plan services. The Board also considered the extent to which the Profile Portfolios may invest in certain fixed interest contracts issued and guaranteed by MCM’s parent company, Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“GWL&A”), and the benefits derived or to be derived by GWL&A from such investments. Additionally, the Board considered the extent to which GWL&A and its affiliated insurance companies may receive benefits under the federal income tax laws with respect to tax deductions and credits. The Board concluded that the Portfolios’ management and sub-advisory fees were reasonable, taking into account any ancillary benefits derived by MCM or the Sub-Adviser.
