Letter from the CEO of MFS

 

Dear Contract Owners:

The past year has been a great example of why investors should keep their eyes on the long term.

In 2006 the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned 19% and was fairly stable. This year we have seen a greater level of volatility than has been experienced in recent years. The Dow hit several new highs but also experienced swift drops as a global credit crisis swept through markets, spurred by defaults on U.S. subprime loans and a liquidity crunch. Still, even with this volatility, the Dow ended the first three quarters of 2007 with a return near 13%.

U.S. Treasury bonds gained ground, especially in the third quarter as investors sought less risky asset classes. The spreads of many lower-quality debt investments widened.

In 2007 the U.S. dollar fell against the euro, oil prices hit their highest levels yet, and gold spiked to its steepest price in 28 years. Around the globe, stocks sold off as risk aversion mounted. As we have said before, markets can be volatile, and investors should make sure they have an investment plan that can carry them through the peaks and troughs.

If you are focused on a long-term investment strategy, the short-term ups and downs of the markets should not necessarily dictate portfolio action on your part. In our view, investors who remain committed to a long-term plan are more likely to achieve their financial goals.

In any market environment, we believe individual investors are best served by following a three-pronged investment strategy of allocating their holdings across the major asset classes, diversifying within each class, and regularly rebalancing their portfolios to maintain their desired allocations. Of course, these strategies cannot guarantee a profit or protect against a loss. Investing and planning for the long term require diligence and patience, two traits that in our experience are essential to capitalizing on the many opportunities the financial markets can offer — through both up and down economic cycles.

Respectfully,

Management Reviews

The following management reviews, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, exclude the Money Market Variable Account.

Market Environment

Despite seemingly robust growth rates during the second and third quarters of 2007, underlying economic activity in the U.S. remained muted relative to other major economies. Overall, global economies witnessed moderate to strong growth during the reporting period as domestic demand improved and world trade accelerated.

 

With the strong global growth, however, concerns emerged about rising global inflation, especially as capacity became more constrained, wages rose, and energy and food prices advanced. During the reporting period, global central banks (with the exception of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board) tightened monetary conditions, which in turn pushed global bond yields to their highest levels during this economic expansion.

However, financial markets — particularly in the mortgage and structured-products areas — experienced substantial volatility in recent months. Beginning in late July, heightened uncertainty and distress concerning the subprime mortgage market caused several global credit markets to tighten up, forcing central banks to inject liquidity and to reassess their tightening biases as sovereign bond yields declined and credit spreads widened. While credit conditions improved somewhat by late October as the Federal Reserve Board cut interest rates, the level of market turbulence remained significant through year end. Increased market turmoil was also exacerbated by U.S. home foreclosures and uncertainties surrounding falling housing prices. Despite increased volatility across all asset classes and the widening in credit spreads, U.S. labor markets were resilient and wages rose modestly. More broadly, global equity markets rebounded following summer losses and generally held those gains through the end of the reporting period.

Capital Appreciation Variable Account

Summary of Results

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, Compass 2 provided a total return of 9.58%, Compass 3 provided a total return of 9.48%, and Compass 3 — Level 2 provided a total return of 9.64%. These compare with a return of 11.81% for the account’s benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Detractors from performance

Stock selection in the health care sector detracted from the account’s performance relative to the benchmark. Eye care medical products maker Advanced Medical Optics, biotechnology firm Amgen, and pharmaceutical and diagnostic company Roche Holding(aa) (Switzerland) were among the account’s largest detractors within this sector. Shares of Advanced Medical Optics suffered a steady decline during the period due to several recalls of its lens solution products, which resulted in a dramatic decrease in eye care sales. Shares of Amgen suffered, in part, due to studies that raised concerns about the safety profile of the company’s anemia drug Aranesp.

An underweighted position in the basic materials sector hindered relative returns. In particular, our positioning in strong-performing agrichemical products company Monsanto(g) was the principal negative factor in this sector.

Several individual securities in other sectors that dampened relative results included investment management and banking firm UBS(aa) (Switzerland), billing software company Amdocs, discount retailer Family Dollar Stores(g), office supply superstore operator Staples, and upscale apparel retailer Nordstrom. Our underweighted position in computer and personal electronics maker Apple also held back relative returns as this benchmark constituent turned in strong performance over the reporting period.

Management Reviews — continued

 

Contributors to performance

Security selection in the retailing sector contributed to the account’s relative performance. Avoiding poor-performing home improvement retailer Home Depot aided relative results.

Our underweighted position and stock selection in the autos and housing sector boosted relative returns. No individual holdings within this sector were among the account’s top contributors.

Stock selection in the industrial goods and services sector also benefited relative performance. Aerospace metal parts manufacturer Precision Castparts was a strong contributor in this sector.

Standout performers in other sectors included financial exchange Deutsche Boerse(aa) (Germany) and global integrated energy company Hess(aa). Shares of Deutsche Boerse rose significantly during the year. The company acquired International Securities Exchange Holdings, which we believe positioned the company as a key player in the U.S. options market and in global derivatives trading. Shares of Hess surged in recent months due largely to hopes that an oil field discovery off the coast of Brazil could nearly double the company’s reserves.

Elsewhere, oil field services company Schlumberger, offshore drilling company Noble, network equipment manufacturer Juniper Networks, credit card transactions processor First Data(g), enterprise software giant Oracle, and food company Nestle(aa) (Switzerland) also boosted relative performance.

During the reporting period, currency exposure was a contributor to relative performance. All of MFS’ investment decisions are driven by the fundamentals of each individual opportunity and, as such, it is common for our portfolios to have different currency exposure than the benchmark.

Global Governments Variable Account

Summary of Results

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, Compass 2 provided a total return of 7.34%; Compass 3 provided a total return of 7.18%; and Compass 3 — Level 2 provided a total return of 7.34%. These compare with a return of 10.81% for the account’s benchmark, the JPMorgan Global Government Bond Index Unhedged.

Detractors from performance

The account’s U.S. yield curve(y) positioning had a negative impact on relative performance as interest rates generally declined over the reporting period.

During the latter half of the period, as swap and credit spreads widened, the account’s exposure to “AAA”(s) rated commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), delegated underwriting services (DUS) pools, Small Business Association (SBA) bonds, and emerging markets debt securities detracted from relative results.

Contributors to performance

The account’s underweighted exposure to the U.S. dollar, particularly versus the Euro, modestly contributed to relative performance as the value of the dollar weakened relative to most of the world’s major currencies.

Our duration(d) positioning in European bonds also benefited investment results during the reporting period.

 

Security selection, particularly from some of the account’s holdings of European government bonds also helped relative performance.

Government Securities Variable Account

Summary of Results

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, Compass 2 provided a total return of 5.66%, Compass 3 provided a total return of 5.55%, and Compass 3 — Level 2 provided a total return of 5.71%. These compare with a return of 7.72% for the account’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Government/Mortgage Bond Index.

Detractors from performance

Relative to the benchmark, the account’s duration(d) positioning held back performance as interest rates generally declined over the reporting period.

Our greater exposure to government agency debt also dampened investment results as the sector lagged the returns of the benchmark.

Contributors to performance

The account’s lesser relative exposure to mortgage-backed securities added to performance as credit spreads widened dramatically during the recent subprime market crisis.

Our exposure to U.S. Treasury securities, which outperformed the benchmark over the investment period, also helped relative results.

High Yield Variable Account

Summary of Results

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, Compass 2 provided a total return of 0.43%, Compass 3 provided a total return of 0.33%, and Compass 3 — Level 2 provided a total return of 0.48%. These compare with a return of 1.87% for the account’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. High-Yield Corporate Bond Index.

Detractors from performance

Over the reporting period, yield was a negative factor in performance relative to the benchmark. Our relative exposure to financial issues and to “B” rated(s) bonds, in general, also hurt.

Debt holdings that detracted from results included the bonds of General Motors Acceptance Corp. (GMAC), Tropicana Entertainment, ARCap, Harrah’s Operating Co., Realogy(g), Ford Motor Credit, Freescale Semiconductor(g), and Umbrella Acquisition(g).

Contributors to performance

Our lower exposure to industrial debt was a relative positive for the account as was overall security selection. For the reporting period, the debt of FMG Finance was among the account’s leading contributors relative to the benchmark. Additionally, our smaller exposure to lower-rated debt, particularly in “BB” and, to a lesser extent, “CCC” rated securities, helped relative performance.

Total Return Variable Account

Summary of Results

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2007, Compass 2 provided a total return of 2.60%, Compass 3 provided a total return

Management Reviews — continued

 

of 2.45%, and Compass 3—Level 2 provided a total return of 2.60%. These compare with a return of 5.49% for the account’s benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index (S&P 500 Index). The account’s other benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (Lehman Aggregate Index), generated a total return of 6.97%.

Detractors from performance

Within the equity portion of the account, an overweighted position in the poor-performing financial services sector held back performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. Insurance companies, Genworth Financial, Conseco(aa), and Allstate, along with mortgage lending firm Countrywide Financial(g) and electronic brokerage firm E*TRADE Financial, were among the account’s top detractors.

Stock selection and an underweighted position in the technology sector also dampened relative performance. Telecommunications equipment manufacturer Nortel Networks(aa) was a top detractor. We believe Nortel’s weaker-than-expected fundamentals and management’s inability to turn the business around contributed to the decline of the company’s stock price. Not holding strong-performing computer and personal electronics maker Apple also hurt relative results.

In the health care sector, security selection detracted from relative returns. No individual securities within this sector were among the account’s top detractors for the period.

Elsewhere, retailer Macy’s, home improvement products maker Masco, and media titan The New York Times held back relative performance. Masco’s shares were hurt by the deterioration of the housing markets and the company’s pessimistic guidance that cited decreased housing starts.

Within the fixed income portion of the account, our exposure to bonds in the financial sector and to structured products, particularly commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS), held back performance relative to the Lehman Aggregate Index, as these securities suffered from the recent turmoil in the subprime market.

Credit quality, particularly holdings of lower-quality “BBB”(s) rated securities, detracted from performance as credit spreads widened over the reporting period.

Contributors to performance

Within the equity portion of the account, stock selection and an overweighted position in the strong-performing energy sector boosted performance relative to the S&P 500 Index. Global integrated energy company Hess, and oil and gas producers, Anadarko Petroleum, Devon Energy, and Apache, were all strong contributors over the reporting period. Shares of Hess surged in recent months due largely to hopes that an oil field discovery off the coast of Brazil could nearly double the company’s reserves.

A strong showing in the basic materials sector was principally due to stock selection. Packaging manufacturer Owens-Illinois(aa)(g) was a top contributor within this sector. The company reported quarterly earnings that exceeded consensus expectations. The firm attributed the positive results to better operating performance in its glass factories and improved pricing and product sales mix.

Elsewhere, agricultural equipment manufacturer Deere & Co. and global financial services provider Bank of New York Mellon were top contributors. Deere’s stock price gain was driven by strong capital management and better-than-expected results throughout

the period which pushed its shares up in excess of the market. Not holding poor-performing financial services firm Wachovia and cable services provider Comcast benefited results, while our small positioning in insurance company American International Group, which struggled during the reporting period, also helped relative returns.

During the reporting period, currency exposure was a contributor to relative performance. All of MFS’ investment decisions are driven by the fundamentals of each individual opportunity and, as such, it is common for our portfolios to have different currency exposure than the benchmark.

Within the fixed income portion of the account, our defensive positioning in shorter duration(d) corporate bond holdings, relative to the Lehman Aggregate Index, boosted relative performance as credit spreads widened.

The account generated a higher level of income than the benchmark over the reporting period which also benefited relative results.

 

(aa) Security is not a benchmark constituent.
(d) Duration is a measure of how much a bond’s price is likely to fluctuate with general changes in interest rates, e.g., if rates rise 1.00%, a bond with a 5-year duration is likely to lose about 5.00% of its value.
(g) Security was not held in the portfolio at period end.
(s) Bonds rated “BBB”, “Baa”, or higher are considered investment grade; bonds rated “BB”, “Ba”, or below are considered non-investment grade. The primary source for bond quality ratings is Moody’s Investors Service. If not available, ratings by Standard & Poor’s are used, else ratings by Fitch, Inc. For securities which are not rated by any of the three agencies, the security is considered Not Rated.
(y) A yield curve graphically depicts the yields of different maturity bonds of the same credit quality and type; a normal yield curve is upward sloping, with short-term rates lower than long-term rates.

The non-recurring accrual resulted in an increase in the net asset value of $0.039, $0.026, and $0.010 per unit for Compass 2, Compass 3, and Compass 3 – Level 2, respectively, based on units outstanding on the day the proceeds were recorded.
(d) Per unit data are based on the average number of units outstanding during each year.
(f) Ratios do not reflect reductions from fees paid indirectly, if applicable.
(j) The variable account’s net asset value and total return calculation include proceeds received on March 26, 2003 for the partial payment of a non-recurring litigation settlement from Cendant Corporation, recorded as a realized gain on investment transactions. The proceeds resulted in an increase in the net asset value of $0.900, $0.594, and $0.247 per unit for Compass 2, Compass 3, and Compass 3 – Level 2, respectively, based on units outstanding on the day the proceeds were received. Excluding the effect of this payment from the ending net asset value per unit, the Compass 2, Compass 3, and Compass 3 – Level 2 total return per unit value for the year ended December 31, 2003 would have been lower by approximately 2.24%, 2.24%, and 2.25%, respectively.
(k) The total return does not reflect expenses that apply to separate accounts. Inclusion of these charges would reduce the total return figures for all periods shown.
(s) From time to time the variable account may receive proceeds from litigation settlements, without which performance would be lower.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(1) Business and Organization

Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, Money Market Variable Account, and Total Return Variable Account (the variable account(s)) are separate accounts established by Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), the Sponsor, in connection with the issuance of Compass 2 and Compass 3 combination fixed/variable annuity contracts. The variable accounts operate as open-end management investment companies as those terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

General – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The High Yield Variable Account can invest up to 100% of its portfolio in high-yield securities rated below investment grade. Investments in high-yield securities involve greater degrees of credit and market risk than investments in higher-rated securities and tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions. The Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account and Total Return Variable Account can invest in foreign securities, including securities of emerging market issuers. Investments in foreign securities are vulnerable to the effects of changes in the relative values of the local currency and the U.S. dollar and to the effects of changes in each country’s legal, political, and economic environment. The markets of emerging markets countries are generally more volatile than the markets of developed countries with more mature economies. All of the risks of investing in foreign securities previously described are heightened when investing in emerging markets countries.

Investment Valuations – Money market instruments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Amortized cost involves valuing an instrument at its cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather than its current market value. Each money market fund’s use of amortized cost is subject to the fund’s compliance with Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The amortized cost value of an instrument can be different from the market value of an instrument. Equity securities, including restricted equity securities, are generally valued at the last sale or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the market or exchange on which they are primarily traded. For securities for which there were no sales reported that day, equity securities are generally valued at the last quoted daily bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service on the market or exchange on which they are primarily traded. For securities held short for which there were no sales reported for the day, the position is generally valued at the last quoted daily ask quotation as reported by an independent pricing service on the market or exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Debt instruments (other than short-term instruments), including restricted debt instruments, are generally valued at an evaluated or composite bid as reported by an independent pricing service. Short-term instruments with a maturity at issuance of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Exchange-traded options are generally valued at the last sale or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the exchange on which such options are primarily traded. Exchange-traded options for which there were no sales reported that day are generally valued at the last daily bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service on the exchange on which such options are primarily traded. Options not traded on an exchange are generally valued at a broker-dealer bid quotation. Foreign currency options are generally valued using an external pricing model that uses market data from an independent source. Futures contracts are generally valued at last posted settlement price as reported by an independent pricing service on the market on which they are primarily traded. Futures contracts for which there were no trades that day for a particular position are generally valued at the closing bid quotation as reported by an independent pricing service on the market on which such futures contracts are primarily traded. Forward foreign currency contracts are generally valued at the mean of bid and asked prices for the time period interpolated from rates reported by an independent pricing service for proximate time periods. Swaps are generally valued at an evaluated bid as reported by an independent pricing service. Securities and other assets generally valued on the basis of information from an independent pricing service may also be valued at a broker-dealer bid quotation. Values obtained from pricing services can utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques, which take into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. The values of foreign securities and other assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using the mean of bid and asked prices for rates reported by an independent pricing service.

The Board of Managers has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the variable accounts’ investments (including any fair valuation) to the adviser pursuant to valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board. If the adviser determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the adviser in accordance with such procedures under the oversight of the Board of Managers. Under the variable accounts’ valuation policies and procedures, market quotations are not considered to be readily available for many types of debt instruments and certain types of derivatives. These investments are generally valued at fair value based on information from independent pricing services. In addition, investments may be valued at fair value if the adviser determines that an investment’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment is principally traded (such as foreign exchange or market) and prior to the determination of the variable accounts’ net asset value, or after the halting of trading of a specific security where trading does not resume prior to the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded. Events that occur on a frequent basis after foreign markets close (such as developments in foreign markets and significant movements in the U.S. markets) and prior to the determination of the variable accounts’ net asset value may be deemed to have a material affect on the value of securities traded in foreign markets. Accordingly, the variable accounts’ foreign equity securities may often be valued at fair value. The adviser may rely on independent pricing services or other information (such as the correlation with price movements of similar securities in the same

 

48


Notes to Financial Statements — continued

 

or other markets; the type, cost and investment characteristics of the security; the business and financial condition of the issuer; and trading and other market data) to assist in determining whether to fair value and at what value to fair value an investment. The value of an investment for purposes of calculating the variable accounts’ net asset value can differ depending on the source and method used to determine value. When fair valuation is used, the value of investments used to determine the variable accounts’ net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same investments.

In September 2006, FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (the “Statement”) was issued, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and for all interim periods within those fiscal years. This Statement provides a single definition of fair value, a hierarchy for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Management is evaluating the application of the Statement to the variable accounts, and believes the impact will be limited to expanded disclosures resulting from the adoption of this Statement in the variable accounts’ financial statements.

Repurchase Agreements – Each variable account may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the variable accounts’ investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. The variable accounts require that the securities collateral in a repurchase transaction be transferred to the custodian in a manner sufficient to enable the variable account to obtain those securities in the event of a default under the repurchase agreement. The variable accounts monitor, on a daily basis, the value of the collateral to ensure that its value, including accrued interest, is greater than amounts owed to the variable accounts under each such repurchase agreement. The variable accounts and other funds managed by Massachusetts Financial Services Company (MFS), may utilize a joint trading account for the purpose of entering into one or more repurchase agreements.

Inflation-Adjusted Debt Securities – Certain variable accounts invest in inflation-adjusted debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. The variable accounts may also invest in inflation-adjusted debt securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities other than the U.S. Treasury and by other entities such as U.S. and foreign corporations and foreign governments. The principal value of these debt securities is adjusted through income according to changes in the Consumer Price Index or another general price or wage index. These debt securities typically pay a fixed rate of interest, but this fixed rate is applied to the inflation-adjusted principal amount. The principal paid at maturity of the debt security is typically equal to the inflation-adjusted principal amount, or the security’s original par value, whichever is greater. Other types of inflation-adjusted securities may use other methods to adjust for other measures of inflation.

Foreign Currency Translation – Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income, and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Gains and losses attributable to foreign currency exchange rates on sales of securities are recorded for financial statement purposes as net realized gains and losses on investments. Gains and losses attributable to foreign exchange rate movements on income and expenses are recorded for financial statement purposes as foreign currency transaction gains and losses. That portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

Derivative Risk – Certain variable accounts may invest in derivatives for hedging or non-hedging purposes. While hedging can reduce or eliminate losses, it can also reduce or eliminate gains. When the variable accounts use derivatives as an investment to gain market exposure, or for hedging purposes, gains and losses from derivative instruments may be substantially greater than the derivative’s original cost. Derivative instruments include purchased options, futures contracts, and forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the Global Governments Variable Account, futures contracts for the Government Securities Variable Account and swap agreements for the High Yield Variable Account.

Purchased Options – Certain variable accounts may purchase call or put options for a premium. Purchasing call options may be a hedge against an anticipated increase in the dollar cost of securities to be acquired or to increase the variable account’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options may hedge against a decline in the value of portfolio securities. The premium paid is included as an investment in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchased options which have expired are treated as realized losses on investments in the Statement of Operations. Premiums paid for purchased options which are exercised or closed are added to the amount paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying security or financial instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to the premium paid.

Futures Contracts – Certain variable accounts may enter into futures contracts for the delayed delivery of securities or currency, or contracts based on financial indices at a fixed price on a future date. In entering such contracts, the variable accounts are required to deposit with the broker either in cash or securities an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or received by the variable account each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the variable accounts. Upon entering into such contracts, the variable accounts bear the risk of interest or exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the variable accounts may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts – Certain variable accounts may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of the contract. The variable accounts may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for hedging purposes as well as for non-hedging purposes. For hedging purposes, the variable accounts may enter into contracts to deliver or receive foreign currency it will receive from or require for its normal investment activities. The

 

49


Notes to Financial Statements — continued

 

variable accounts may also use contracts in a manner intended to protect foreign currency denominated securities from declines in value due to unfavorable exchange rate movements. For non-hedging purposes, the variable accounts may enter into contracts with the intent of changing the relative exposure of the variable accounts portfolio of securities to different currencies to take advantage of anticipated changes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded as unrealized until the contract settlement date. On contract settlement date, the gains or losses are recorded as realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions.

Swap Agreements – Certain variable accounts may enter into swap agreements. A swap is an exchange of cash payments between the variable accounts and another party. Net cash payments are exchanged at specified intervals and are recorded as a realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. The value of the swap is adjusted daily and the change in value, including accruals of periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations. Amounts paid or received at the inception of the swap are reflected as premiums paid or received on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the agreement. A liquidation payment received or made upon early termination is recorded as a realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the variable accounts custodian in connection with these agreements. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include the possible lack of a liquid market, failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the agreements, and unfavorable market movement of the underlying instrument. All swap agreements entered into by the variable accounts with the same counterparty are generally governed by a single master agreement, which provides for the netting of all amounts owed by the parties under the agreement upon the occurrence of an event of default, thereby reducing the credit risk to which such party is exposed.

The High Yield Variable Account holds a credit default swap in which one party makes a stream of payments based on a fixed percentage applied to the notional amount to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a third party, such as a corporate issuer or foreign issuer, on its obligation. The variable accounts may enter into credit default swaps to limit or to reduce its risk exposure to defaults of corporate and sovereign issuers or to create direct or synthetic short or long exposure to corporate debt securities or certain sovereign debt securities to which it is not otherwise exposed.

Loans and Other Direct Debt Instruments – Certain variable accounts may invest in loans and loan participations or other receivables. These investments may include standby financing commitments, including revolving credit facilities, which obligate the variable account to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. At December 31, 2007, the High Yield Variable Account had unfunded loan commitments of $18,188, which could be extended at the option of the borrower and which are covered by sufficient cash and/or liquid securities held by the variable account. Loan participations involve a risk of insolvency of the lending bank or other financial intermediary.

Indemnifications – Under each variable account’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the variable account. Additionally, in the normal course of business, each variable account enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each variable account’s maximum exposure under these agreements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the variable account that have not yet occurred.

Investment Transactions and Income – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. For the Money Market Variable Account all premium and discount is amortized and accreted for financial statement purposes and tax reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and federal tax regulations, respectively. For all other variable accounts, all premium and discount is amortized or accreted for financial statement purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All discount is accreted for tax reporting purposes as required by federal income tax regulations. Certain variable accounts earn certain fees in connection with their floating rate loan purchasing activities. These fees are in addition to interest payments earned and may include amendment fees, commitment fees, facility fees, consent fees, and prepayment fees. Commitment fees are recorded on an accrual basis as income in the accompanying financial statements. Dividends received in cash are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded when the variable account is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date. Dividend and interest payments received in additional securities are recorded on the ex-dividend or ex-interest date in an amount equal to the value of the security on such date.

The variable accounts may receive proceeds from litigation settlements. Any proceeds received from litigation involving portfolio holdings are reflected in the Statement of Operations in realized gain/loss if the security has been disposed of by the variable accounts or in unrealized gain/loss if the security is still held by the variable accounts. Any other proceeds from litigation not related to portfolio holdings are reflected as other income in the Statement of Operations.

Fees Paid Indirectly – The variable accounts custody fees may be reduced according to an arrangement that measures the value of cash deposited with the custodian by the variable accounts. This amount, for the year ended December 31, 2007, is shown as a reduction of total expenses on the Statement of Operations.

Federal Income Taxes – The variable accounts are funding vehicles for individual variable annuities. The operations of the variable accounts are part of the operations of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada (U.S.), the Sponsor, and are not taxed separately; the variable accounts are not taxed as regulated investment companies. The Sponsor qualifies for the federal income tax treatment granted to life insurance companies under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary. Foreign taxes have been provided for on interest and dividend income earned on foreign investments in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rates and to the extent unrecoverable are recorded as a reduction of investment income.

(3) Contract Charges

The Sponsor makes a deduction from the variable accounts at the end of each valuation period, during both the accumulation period and after annuity payments begin, for assuming the mortality and expense risks under the contracts. The rate of the deduction may be changed annually but in no event may it exceed 1.25% of the average net assets of each variable account attributable to Compass 3 contracts, or, with respect to Compass 2 contracts, 1.30% of the assets of Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, and Money Market Variable Account, or 1.25% of the assets of Global Governments Variable Account, and Total Return Variable Account attributable to such contracts.

For assuming the distribution expense risk under Compass 3 contracts, the Sponsor makes a deduction from the variable accounts at the end of each valuation period for the first seven contract years at an effective annual rate of 0.15% of the net assets of the variable accounts attributable to such contracts. Contracts are transferred from Compass 3 to Compass 3 — Level 2 in the month following the seventh contract anniversary. No deduction is made after the seventh contract anniversary. No deduction is made with respect to assets attributable to Compass 2 contracts.

Each year, on the contract anniversary, a contract maintenance charge of $25 with respect to Compass 2 contracts and $30 with respect to Compass 3 contracts is deducted from each contract’s accumulation account and paid to the Sponsor to cover administrative expenses relating to the contract. After the annuity commencement date, the annual contract maintenance charge is deducted pro rata from each annuity payment made during the year.

The Sponsor does not deduct a sales charge from purchase payments. However, a withdrawal charge (contingent deferred sales charge) may be deducted to cover certain expenses relating to the sale of the contract. In no event shall the aggregate withdrawal charges (including the distribution expense charge described above applicable to Compass 3 contracts) exceed 5% of the purchase payments made under a Compass 2 contract or 9% of the purchase payments made under a Compass 3 contract.

 

(4) Annuity Reserves

Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates prior to February 1, 1987 have been calculated using the 1971 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates between February 1, 1987 and December 31, 1998 have been calculated using the 1983 Individual Annuitant Mortality Table. Annuity reserves for contracts with annuity commencement dates on or after January 1, 1999 have been calculated using the Annuity Mortality 2000 table. Annuity reserves for contracts in payment period are calculated using an assumed interest rate of 4%. Required adjustments are accomplished by transfers to or from the Sponsor.

 

(5) Transactions with Affiliates

Each variable account has an investment advisory agreement with MFS to provide overall investment management and related administrative services and facilities to the variable accounts. The management fee is computed daily and paid monthly at the following annual rates based on a percentage of each variable account’s average daily net assets:

 

      Annual Rate of Management Fee

Money Market Variable Account

   0.50 %(b)   0.50 %(b)   0.50 %

Total Return Variable Account

   0.75 %   0.675 %   0.75 %

 

(a) The investment adviser had agreed to reduce its management fee to 0.70% for the first $300 million of average daily net assets. This written agreement will continue through August 31, 2008, unless changed or rescinded by the variable account’s Board of Managers. This management fee reduction amounted to $27,575, which is shown as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations.
(b) The investment adviser has agreed in writing to reduce its management fee to 0.45% of average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. This written agreement may be rescinded only upon consent of the variable account’s Board of Managers. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Money Market Variable Account’s average daily net assets did not exceed $500 million, and therefore, the management fee was not reduced.

The investment adviser has agreed in writing to pay each variable account’s operating expenses, exclusive of certain expenses and charges, such that total annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.25% annually of each variable account’s average daily net assets. These agreements are contained in the investment advisory agreement between MFS and the variable accounts and may not be rescinded without shareholder approval. For the year ended December 31, 2007, this reduction amounted to $73,812 for the Global Governments Variable Account and is reflected as a reduction of total expenses in the Statement of Operations. Each of the other variable accounts did not exceed the limit and therefore, the investment adviser did not pay any portion of the variable accounts’ expenses. In addition, the investment adviser has agreed in writing to pay the High Yield Variable Account’s total annual operating expenses, exclusive of certain expenses and charges, such that total annual operating expenses do not exceed 0.90% annually of the High Yield Variable Account’s average daily net assets. This written agreement will continue through August 31, 2008 unless changed or rescinded by the variable account’s Board of Managers. The High Yield Variable Account did not exceed the limit and therefore, the investment adviser did not pay any portion of the variable account’s expenses.

Effective September 1, 2007, the investment adviser has agreed in writing to pay the Capital Appreciation Variable Account’s and Total Return Variable Account’s total annual operating expenses, exclusive of certain expenses and charges, such that total annual operating expenses do not exceed 0.82% and 0.85%, respectively, annually of the variable account’s average daily net assets. These written agreements will continue through August 31, 2008 unless changed or rescinded by the variable accounts’ Board of Managers. For the year ended December 31, 2007, this reduction amounted to $28,483 and $28,332, for the Capital Appreciation Variable Account and Total Return Variable Account, respectively.

Administrator – MFS provides certain financial, legal, shareholder communications, compliance, and other administrative services to each variable account. Under an administrative services agreement, each variable account partially reimburses MFS the costs incurred to provide these services. Each variable account is charged an annual fixed amount of $10,000 plus a fee based on average daily net assets. The administrative services fee incurred for the year ended December 31, 2007, was equivalent to the following annual effective rate of the variable accounts’ average daily net assets:

Managers’ and Officers’ Compensation – Each variable account pays compensation to managers in the form of a retainer, attendance fees, and additional compensation to the Board chairperson. Each variable account does not pay compensation directly to officers who are affiliated with the Investment Adviser or the Sponsor. Certain officers of the variable accounts are officers or directors of MFS, MFD, (MFS Fund Distributors, Inc.), and MFSC ( MFS Service Center, Inc.).

Other – These variable accounts and certain other MFS funds (the funds) have entered into a services agreement (the Agreement) which provides for payment of fees by the funds to Tarantino LLC in return for the provision of services of an Independent Chief Compliance Officer (ICCO) for the funds. The ICCO is an officer of the funds and the sole member of Tarantino LLC. The funds can terminate the Agreement with Tarantino LLC at any time under the terms of the Agreement. MFS has agreed to bear all expenses associated with office space, other administrative support, and supplies provided to the ICCO. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the fees paid to Tarantino LLC were as follows:

(8) Line of Credit

The variable accounts and other funds managed by MFS participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit provided by a syndication of banks under a credit agreement. In addition, the variable accounts and other funds managed by MFS have established uncommitted borrowing arrangements with certain banks. Borrowings may be made for temporary financing needs. Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, generally at a rate equal to the Federal Reserve funds rate plus 0.30%. In addition, a commitment fee, based on the average daily, unused portion of the committed line of credit, is allocated among the participating funds at the end of each calendar quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2007 the variable accounts’ commitment fee and interest expense are included in miscellaneous expense on the Statement of Operations and were as follows:

 

      Commitment fee      Interest Expense

Capital Appreciation Variable Account

   $ 913      $

Global Governments Variable Account

     39       

Government Securities Variable Account

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants in and the Board of Managers of Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, Money Market Variable Account and Total Return Variable Account and the Board of Directors of Sun Life Insurance Company of Canada:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, Money Market Variable Account and Total Return Variable Account (the “Variable Accounts”) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements 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 five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Variable Accounts’ 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 Variable Accounts are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their 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 Variable Accounts’ 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 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, such financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Capital Appreciation Variable Account, Global Governments Variable Account, Government Securities Variable Account, High Yield Variable Account, Money Market Variable Account and Total Return Variable Account as of December 31, 2007, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their 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.

Board Review of Investment Advisory Agreements

The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that both the full Board of Managers and a majority of the non-interested (“independent”) Managers, voting separately, annually approve the continuation of each Variable Account’s investment advisory agreement with Massachusetts Financial Services Company (MFS) on behalf of the Variable Accounts. The Managers consider matters bearing on the Variable Accounts and their advisory arrangements at their meetings throughout the year, including a review of performance data at each regular meeting. In addition, the independent Managers met several times over the course of three months beginning in May and ending in July 2007 (“contract review meetings”) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for the Variable Accounts. The independent Managers were assisted in their evaluation of the investment advisory agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from MFS management during various contract review meetings. The independent Managers were also assisted in this process by the Variable Accounts’ Independent Chief Compliance Officer, a full-time senior officer appointed by and reporting to the independent Managers.

In connection with their deliberations, the Managers, including the independent Managers, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. Each investment advisory agreement was considered separately for each Variable Account, although the Managers also took into account the common interests of all Variable Accounts in their review. As described below, the Managers considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment advisory, administrative, and shareholder services performed by MFS under the existing investment advisory agreements and other arrangements with the Variable Accounts.

In connection with their contract review meetings, the Managers received and relied upon materials which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. on the investment performance of each Variable Account for various time periods ended December 31, 2006, compared to the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives (the “Lipper performance universe”), as well as the investment performance of a group of funds identified by objective criteria suggested by MFS (“peer funds”), (ii) information provided by Lipper Inc. on each Variable Account’s advisory fees and other expenses compared to the advisory fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper (the “Lipper expense group”), as well as the advisory fees and other expenses of peer funds identified by objective criteria suggested by MFS, (iii) information provided by MFS on the advisory fees of comparable portfolios of its other clients, including institutional separate account and other clients, (iv) information as to whether, and to what extent applicable, expense waivers, reimbursements or fee “breakpoints” are observed for a Variable Account, (v) information regarding MFS’ financial results and financial condition, including MFS’ and certain of its affiliates’ estimated profitability from services performed for the Variable Accounts, (vi) MFS’ views regarding the outlook for the mutual fund industry and its strategic business plans, (vii) descriptions of various functions performed by MFS for the Variable Accounts, such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (viii) information regarding the overall organization of MFS, including information about MFS’ senior management and other personnel providing investment advisory, administrative and other services to the Variable Accounts. The comparative performance, fee and expense information prepared and provided by Lipper Inc. was not independently verified, and the independent Managers did not independently verify any information provided to them by MFS.

The Managers’ conclusions as to the continuation of the investment advisory agreements were based on comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Managers and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Managers’ deliberations are described below for each Variable Account, while individual Managers may have given different weight to various factors and evaluated the information presented as a whole differently than another Manager. The Managers recognized that the fee arrangements for the Variable Accounts reflect years of review and discussion between the independent Managers and MFS, that certain aspects of such arrangements may receive greater scrutiny in some years than others, and that the Managers’ conclusions may be based, in part, on their consideration of these same arrangements during the course of the year and in prior years.

Based on information provided by Lipper Inc. and MFS, the Managers compared each Variable Account’s total return investment performance to the performance of peer groups of funds and its Lipper performance universe over the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Managers did not rely on performance results for more recent periods, including those shown elsewhere in this report.

In the course of their deliberations, the Managers took into account information provided by MFS during contract review meetings, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year. For Variable Accounts whose performance lagged their peer groups, they discussed the factors that contributed thereto and MFS’ efforts to improve such Variable Account’s performance. After reviewing this information, the Managers concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the investment advisory agreements, that they were satisfied with MFS’ responses and efforts relating to investment performance.

In assessing the reasonableness of each Variable Account’s advisory fee, the Managers considered, among other information, each Variable Account’s advisory fee and the total expense ratio as a percentage of average daily net assets, compared to the advisory fees and total expense ratios of peer groups of funds based on information provided by Lipper Inc. and MFS. The Managers also considered the advisory fees charged by MFS to institutional accounts. In comparing these fees, the Managers considered the generally broader scope of services provided by MFS to the Variable Accounts than those provided to institutional accounts. The Managers also considered the higher demands placed on MFS’ investment personnel and trading infrastructure as a result of the daily cash in-flows and out-flows of the Variable Accounts, and the impact on MFS and related expenses due to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Variable Accounts are subject, compared to institutional accounts.

The Managers also considered whether a Variable Account is likely to benefit from any economies of scale due to future asset growth. In this regard, the Managers reviewed the adequacy of breakpoints and discussed with MFS any adjustments necessary for the shareholders’ benefit.

The Managers also considered information prepared by MFS relating to its costs and profits with respect to each Variable Account and other investment companies and accounts advised by MFS, as well as MFS’ methodologies used to determine and allocate its costs to the Variable Accounts and other accounts and products for purposes of estimating profitability.

After reviewing these and other factors described below, the Managers concluded that the advisory fees charged to the Variable Accounts represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by MFS.

In addition, the Managers considered MFS’ resources and related efforts to continue to retain, attract and motivate capable personnel to serve the Variable Accounts. The Managers also considered the financial resources of MFS and its parent, Sun Life Financial Inc. The Managers further considered any advantages and possible disadvantages of having an adviser which also serves other investment companies as well as institutional accounts.

The Managers also considered the nature, quality, cost, and extent of administrative, transfer agency, and distribution services provided to the Variable Accounts by MFS and its affiliates under agreements and plans other than the investment advisory agreements. The Managers also considered the nature, extent and quality of certain other services MFS performs or arranges on the Variable Accounts’ behalf, which may include securities lending programs, directed expense payment programs, class action recovery programs, and MFS’ interaction with third-party service providers, principally custodians and sub-custodians. The Managers concluded that the various non-advisory services provided by MFS and its affiliates on behalf of the Variable Accounts were satisfactory. The Managers also considered the benefits to MFS from the use of the Variable Accounts’ portfolio brokerage commissions to pay for research and other similar services (including MFS’ current policy not to use “soft dollars” generated by Variable Account portfolio transactions to pay for third-party research), and various other factors. Additionally, the Managers considered so-called “fall-out benefits” to MFS such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager to the Variable Accounts, and determined that any such benefits derived by MFS were reasonable and fair.

Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board of Managers, including a majority of the independent Managers, concluded that the investment advisory agreements should be continued for an additional one-year period, commencing September 1, 2007.

Capital Appreciation Variable Account

The Managers noted the Variable Account’s performance was in the 3rd quintile relative to the other funds in the universe for the one-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers). The total return performance of the Variable Account was in the 4th quintile for the three-year period and the 5th quintile for the five-year period ended December 31, 2006, relative to the Lipper performance universe. Based on the nature and quality of services provided by MFS and MFS’ explanation of steps taken to improve performance, the Board of Managers concluded that the Variable Account’s performance was adequate.

In considering the fees, the Managers noted from the Lipper data that the Variable Account’s effective advisory fee was approximately at the median and total expense ratio was above the median of such fees and expenses of funds in the Lipper expense group. In addition, the Managers accepted MFS’ offer to continue its expense limitation for the Variable Account, and noted the expense limitation was reduced for the next year. The Managers further concluded that the existing breakpoints were sufficient to allow the Variable Account to benefit from economies of scale as its assets grow. The Managers concluded that the fees were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided.

Global Governments Variable Account

The Managers noted the Variable Account’s performance was in the 3rd quintile relative to the other funds in the universe for the one-year period (the 1st quintile being the best performers and the 5th quintile being the worst performers).

Government Securities Variable Account

The total return performance of the Variable Account was in the 3rd quintile for the three-year period and the five-year period ended December 31, 2006, relative to the Lipper performance universe.

The fees included under “Audit-Related Fees” are fees related to assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements, but not reported under “Audit Fees,” including accounting consultations, agreed-upon procedure reports, attestation reports, comfort letters and internal control reviews.

Item 4(e)(1):

Set forth below are the policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee of the Board of Managers relating to the pre-approval of audit and non-audit related services:

To the extent required by applicable law, pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the Board is needed for all audit and permissible non-audit services rendered to the Registrant


and all permissible non-audit services rendered to MFS or MFS Related Entities if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. Pre-approval is currently on an engagement-by-engagement basis. In the event pre-approval of such services is necessary between regular meetings of the Audit Committee and it is not practical to wait to seek pre-approval at the next regular meeting of the Audit Committee, pre-approval of such services may be referred to the Chair of the Audit Committee for approval; provided that the Chair may not pre-approve any individual engagement for such services exceeding $50,000 or multiple engagements for such services in the aggregate exceeding $100,000 in each period between regular meetings of the Audit Committee. Any engagement pre-approved by the Chair between regular meetings of the Audit Committee shall be presented for ratification by the entire Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Item 4(e)(2):

None, or 0%, of the services relating to the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees paid by the Account and MFS and MFS Related Entities relating directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant disclosed above were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraphs (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (which permits audit committee approval after the start of the engagement with respect to services other than audit, review or attest services, if certain conditions are satisfied).

Item 4(f): Not applicable.

Item 4(h): The Registrant’s Audit Committee has considered whether the provision by a Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm of non-audit services to MFS and MFS Related Entities that were not pre-approved by the Committee (because such services did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant) was compatible with maintaining the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm as the Registrant’s principal auditors.

Not applicable to the Registrant.

A schedule of investments of the Registrant is included as part of the report to shareholders of such series under Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.
