A Letter from the Chairman

 

Dear Client:

 

While economies around the world strained to grow during 2005, many global stock markets surged. In Europe, economic growth was sluggish, voters in France and Holland rejected the European Union constitution and there was an election stalemate in Germany. Investors apparently shrugged off these concerns, sending share prices sharply higher. Germany’s Xetra DAX index grew by over 27%, France’s CAC 40 index was up over 23% and London’s FTSE 100 index gained over 16%. Asian economies showed good strength, led by a rebound in Japan. The Nikkei Stock Average gained over 40%, as Prime Minister Koizumi’s election was seen as positive for business. Markets in South Korea, Pakistan and India also rose significantly, as share prices performed well throughout much of Asia. Many had feared that an upward revaluation of the yuan would slow China’s economic growth and impact other countries in the region. However, China’s economy was able to record another strong year after the yuan was raised only about 2% against the U.S. dollar. For the period, the MSCI EAFE Index gained about 14%.

 

The United States economy turned in another solid performance in 2005, but U.S. stock markets barely budged. GDP grew by an estimated 3.5% for the year and inflation remained well contained. Oil and natural gas prices skyrocketed after hurricanes ripped through refineries and pipelines along the Gulf Coast, threatening economic growth. These prices moved lower when it became apparent that the economy could withstand the effects of these natural disasters. The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates a full two percentage points during the period, in its continuing effort to combat inflation and maintain price stability. Employment growth continued, although hurricane related losses and layoffs at high-profile companies garnered many of the headlines. Despite a strong economy, U.S. stock markets did not fare as well as some in other parts of the world. For the year, the S&P 500® Index rose over 4%, while the Nasdaq Composite Index gained over 1%. The bond markets provided another year of positive returns, despite the Federal Reserve Board’s tightening moves. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index was higher by more than 2%.

 

On January 9, 2006, each of the Allmerica Investment Trust (AIT) portfolios was reorganized into a corresponding portfolio offered by Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust. These changes are explained on the individual AIT portfolio pages that follow.

Select Capital Appreciation Fund

 

The Select Capital Appreciation Fund returned 14.68% for 2005, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Index, which returned 12.65%.

 

The portfolio’s strong performance was primarily driven by stock selection and sector allocation. Holdings in the Information Technology and Telecommunications Services sectors had the largest positive impact, followed by Financial Services and Health Care. Within Information Technology, communications equipment providers Harris Corporation and ADTRAN were two of the best performers. Harris Corporation experienced robust demand in its military and international businesses, while ADTRAN benefited from strength in the digital subscriber line (DSL) market. Other notable contributors were Global Payments and Iron Mountain. Outperformance in Telecommunications Services was driven by the portfolio’s above-benchmark exposure to wireless providers and stock selection among diversified telecommunications companies. For example, Canadian wireline and wireless provider Telus performed extremely well. In Financials, stock selection was the primary source of relative strength. Notable contributors included capital markets companies Ameritrade and E*Trade Financial. Both benefited from higher-than-average trading volumes and acquisitions that investors expected to be accretive to earnings. The portfolio’s lack of exposure to thrifts and mortgage companies boosted performance versus the index. Stocks in this industry fell sharply amid a decline in mortgage activity. Stock selection was also strong among Health Care companies, where many of the portfolio’s biotechnology investments did particularly well. These included Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Gilead Sciences, and Amylin Pharmaceuticals.

 

While the portfolio outperformed, there were pockets of weakness. Stock selection in the Industrials and Business Services sectors had a mildly negative impact on relative performance. Not owning AMR Corporation was unfavorable since the stock was up sharply on several upgrades from Wall Street analysts.

Select Value Opportunity Fund

 

The Select Value Opportunity Fund returned 7.18% for 2005, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which returned 7.74%.

 

The U.S. economy was quite resilient in 2005. While it did decelerate from its recent peak in 2004, it was still sufficiently robust to help drive double digit earnings growth. Market returns were narrowly focused on Energy and Utilities, as most other sectors underperformed. Major contributors to performance included Questar Corp., an exploration and production company with new management focusing on the non-regulated side of the business and AnnTaylor Stores, the women’s apparel retailer, where consolidated management began to deliver on the turnaround plan at the core AnnTaylor division. Arris, a telecom equipment company, appreciated as cable companies accelerate their rollout of VOIP telephone services using Arris’s equipment. Goodrich Corporation, one of the leading component suppliers to the commercial and military aerospace markets benefited from an accelerating demand recovery in the commercial aerospace market. E*Trade Financial, an on-line provider of financial services contributed to performance, as the long awaited consolidation of the online brokerage industry began to take shape.

 

The top detractors included Impax Laboratories, a pharmaceutical company that had trouble filing its financial statements and Brooks Automation, a semiconductor equipment maker, which underperformed as the semiconductor industry failed to gain traction. Apria Healthcare Group Inc., which provides home health care services, suffered as end market demand weakened and management failed to cut expenses quickly enough to offset the earnings impact. Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. an operator of discount variety stores continued to transition to larger, more profitable stores, but the older, smaller locations continued to drag down overall results.

Select International Equity Fund

 

The Select International Equity Fund returned 12.41% for 2005, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 14.02%.

 

Global stock markets delivered solid returns in 2005, aided by stronger-than-expected global GDP growth and corporate earnings, increased dividend payouts, share buybacks and acceleration of merger and acquisition activity. In the Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC portion of the fund, sector exposures generally helped performance. Most significant was the underweight to Telecommunications, which was the weakest sector. Momentum proved to be the best method to pick winning stocks, while valuation had mixed results. Canadian Natural Resources and Austrian oil company OMV made the largest individual positive contributions to relative return among the holdings. Holding Dutch financial ABN AMRO and Enel, the Italian utility, proved to be less successful. Overweights to Japan and Austria helped performance, while not holding Korean stocks reduced returns.

 

In the J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. portion of the fund, stock selection was the primary source of performance for the year. At a regional level, emerging market countries contributed positively to performance, while Europe and developed Asia detracted the most. From a sector perspective, Information Technology and Energy aided returns, while the biggest detractors were Consumer Discretionary, Financials and Industrials. Mitsubishi Corp., the Japanese trading company, had a tremendous year, experiencing strong cyclical trends across its major divisions. Companhia Vale do Rio Doce, the Brazilian mining company, also performed extremely well as investors looked to participate in the commodity rally. Holdings that detracted from performance included Kingfisher, the European do-it-yourself retailer that had disappointing results, and Vodafone, the global telecommunications company.

The comments above are based on information provided by the Investment Sub-Advisers for the period indicated.

Select Growth Fund

 

The Select Growth Fund returned 7.38% for 2005 outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 5.27%.

 

In the GE Asset Management Incorporated portion of the fund, the sole holding in the Materials sector, Monsanto, contributed positively to performance, as did an overweight position in Energy sector holding Schlumberger. Not owning any Consumer Staples stocks also benefited the portfolio, as the sector underperformed the benchmark. An overweight position in the lagging Consumer Discretionary sector was the single largest detractor from portfolio performance during the period. Underperforming stocks included Liberty Media, Comcast, Bed Bath & Beyond, Carnival and IAC InterActiveCorp. Vodafone, the only Telecommunication Services holding, performed poorly, as well. In the Financials sector, State Street and AFLAC were positive contributors, but could not offset the negative impact of the position in underperforming Fannie Mae.

 

In the Jennison Associates LLC portion of the fund, Health Care positions had the largest positive impact on total return. Alcon, Amgen, Genentech and Roche all benefited from strong product cycles. United Health Group and Wellpoint also posted above market returns. The performance of the Information Technology holdings was also very strong. Google was the top contributor to returns, while Apple Computer’s stock more than doubled during the year, as it continued to benefit from the tremendous success of its iPod family of products. In the Consumer sectors, Whole Foods and Chico’s were important contributors to performance. The greatest detractor from returns was eBay, with most of the weakness occurring early in the year, on concerns that domestic growth was slowing more than anticipated. In the Industrials sector, holdings UPS and GE underperformed the benchmark.

Core Equity Fund

 

The Core Equity Fund returned 6.03% for 2005, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index, which returned 6.27%.

 

In the Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. portion of the fund, the Investment Sub-Adviser pared the number of holdings, reflecting confidence in the remaining companies. Wireless tower companies Crown Castle Corp. and American Tower Corp. contributed to returns, as the tower leasing environment improved significantly in the third and fourth quarters. Health Care business holdings Amgen, Inc., Caremark Rx, Inc. and Medco were top performers over the period. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac underperformed this year, as potential legislation and accounting restatements weighed on the stocks. Avon Products detracted from performance, after it announced that its third quarter earnings would be below analysts’ expectations. The overweight in Media stocks also weighed on performance, as this was the worst performing sector of the market in 2005.

 

In the UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. portion of the fund, the Investment Sub-Adviser underweighted the Energy sector, believing that the price of crude oil and many other commodities was well in excess of equilibrium. Avoiding most Energy stocks detracted from performance during the period. Of the relatively limited holdings in this sector, Marathon Oil was one of the best performers over the year, as the company benefited from increased energy prices. The overweight position in construction and real properties benefited performance, with holding Martin Marietta Materials the top performer. Within Health Care, the Investment Sub-Adviser continued to find attractive opportunities, aiding returns. Avoiding significant exposure to Pfizer, which struggled this year, also helped performance. The portfolio’s grocery store holdings were positive contributors to results, as well.

Equity Index Fund

 

The Equity Index Fund returned 4.38% for 2005, underperforming its benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, which returned 4.89%.

 

The economy continued to stabilize in 2005 and equity returns reverted to what may be a more sustainable growth rate. The job market improved and household income increased. This resulted in strong consumer spending, which provided a boost to corporate earnings. A relatively accommodative federal funds rate and a booming housing market provided additional stimulus for the economy. Equity returns were held down for most

of the year by high oil prices, which threatened to dampen consumer spending, and the prospects of higher inflation. Although many feared that the hurricanes that hit the Gulf Coast would derail the expansion, the rescue and rebuilding efforts actually accelerated growth during the period. As the economy grew and inflation picked up, investors realized that the Federal Reserve Board (Fed) might have to continue its tightening regimen, in its efforts to curb inflation. The Fed raised the federal funds rate a full two percentage points during the period, to 4.25%.

 

The Energy and Health Care sectors were among the best performers in 2005. Energy companies saw increasing margins due to the energy shocks during the year. The Health Care sector saw improved earnings due to increased merger activity, which improved the market share of the biggest companies. The Automobile sector was among the worst performing sectors, as rising health care costs and a declining market share pummeled the stocks of the two largest domestic automobile manufacturers. This poor performance trickled down to the Automotive Supply sector, which saw double-digit negative returns for the year.

Select Investment Grade Income Fund

 

The Select Investment Grade Income Fund returned 1.84% for 2005, underperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 2.43%.

 

The bond market turned in positive returns for the period, despite the Federal Reserve Board’s on-going tightening policy. As short-term interest rates rose, long-term interest rates remained relatively stable, resulting in a flattening of the yield curve. During the year, corporate profit gains were exceptional, but capital spending has been slow. Housing has been touted as a major factor driving consumer spending during this recovery, but prices have escalated dramatically and affordability has plunged, indicating that a slowdown in the Housing sector is possible.

 

During the period, the Investment Sub-Adviser reduced the portfolio’s overweight to the Credit sector to approximately 30%, with most of the reduction coming from BBB rated securities. During this re-allocation, several names were sold that were believed to have run their course or were becoming concerns in this leveraged buy-out environment. In addition, the Investment Sub-Adviser increased existing positions where conviction remained strong, while adding very few new credits. Some of the specific credits that were sold after reaching fair value included Telus Corp, Devon Energy, United Healthcare, Province of Quebec and Province of British Columbia. All had performed well since their original purchase. Specific credits sold because they may be at risk for shareholder friendly activity included British Sky Broadcasting and Tyco International Group. Exposure to Comcast and Time Warner was reduced for the same reason. Credits that the Investment Sub-Adviser believe have further upside potential based on fundamental analysis, include Safeway, Kroger, Sprint/Nextel and Morgan Stanley.

Government Bond Fund

 

The Government Bond Fund returned 1.55% for 2005, underperforming its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government Bond Index, which returned 1.70%.

 

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index gained over 2% for the period, low in absolute terms, but remarkable given that this performance occurred during a bear market for bonds. With the federal funds rate now at 4.25%, after thirteen consecutive 25-basis point increases, the Investment Sub-Adviser believes that monetary policy is no longer deemed accommodative and may be nearing neutrality. The looming question now may be whether neutral monetary policy is enough. Should inflation measures show new vigor, the Federal Reserve Board may continue raising interest rates in order to restrain economic growth. Foreign buying has been a key driver of this bond market. If this were to slow or reverse course, the Investment Sub-Adviser believes it could have a major impact on the yield curve.

 

Within the fund, a consistent overweight to spread sectors, in particular, agencies and mortgage securities, helped performance for the year. The portfolio’s exposure to agency securities, which provided excess return relative to the Treasury sector, was twice that of the benchmark throughout the year. The Investment Sub-Adviser’s approximately 27% allocation to collateralized mortgage obligations proved to be a good decision, in light of the positive index returns. In the mortgage space, the Investment Sub-Adviser’s bias was toward higher coupon bonds offering less extension risk. Most recently, overall returns for the Mortgage-Backed Securities sector were driven by lower volatility, renewed buying from Freddie Mac, a flatter yield curve, higher fixed rate supply, lower overall supply and unattractive rolls.

The comments above are based on information provided by the Investment Sub-Adviser for the period indicated.

Money Market Fund

 

The Money Market Fund returned 2.75% for 2005, outperforming its benchmark, the Money Fund Report Averages: First Tier Taxable, which returned 2.46%.

 

During the year, the fund maintained a short weighted average maturity in the range of 20 to 40 days. This position enabled the Investment Sub-Adviser to take advantage of rapidly increasing short-term interest rates, as the Federal Reserve Board moved the federal funds rate from 2.25% at the start of the year, to 4.25% by the end of the year. The fund’s performance was aided by its holdings of primarily short-dated, high quality, commercial paper and certificates of deposit. Floating-rate notes and extendible commercial paper were also utilized for their built in reset functions, designed to keep pace with the Federal Reserve Board rate hikes, while adding incremental spread.

 

The U.S. economy endured several major tests in 2005, each time displaying amazing resilience. The bond market’s reaction to the Federal Reserve Board’s on-going tightening policy has been remarkably tame. Long-term interest rates have remained extraordinarily stable, with the ten year Treasury only 18 basis points higher, and the thirty year Treasury actually 27 basis points lower, than a year ago, resulting in a relatively flat yield curve. Foreign buying has been a key driver of this bond market phenomenon. If this were to slow or reverse course, it could have a major impact on the yield curve. Inflation is another threat, since energy and other commodities show no signs of significant price reversals and gold sits at a 25-year high. With the unemployment rate at 5%, unit labor costs could escalate, especially if productivity gains dissipate and benefit costs continue their upward trend.

The comments above are based on information provided by the Investment Sub-Adviser for the period indicated.

ALLMERICA INVESTMENT TRUST

EXPENSE EXAMPLES 12/31/05 (Unaudited)

You do not own shares of any Fund of the Allmerica Investment Trust directly. As a contract/policy owner investing in a Fund, you incur ongoing expenses, such as management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005.

Actual Expenses

The first line under each Fund in the table below provides information about the 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 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for your Fund 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 under each Fund in the table below provides information about the hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Fund’s actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing expenses of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare 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 expenses only and do not reflect any costs or expenses that apply to the subaccount or the contact. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing expenses of each Fund only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds underlying various annuity contracts and/or life insurance policies. In addition, if the costs or expenses that apply to the subaccount or the contract were included, your costs would have been higher.

ALLMERICA INVESTMENT TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ORGANIZATION

Allmerica Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end, diversified management investment company established as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is intended to serve as an investment medium for (i) variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts offered by insurance companies; (ii) certain qualified pension and retirement plans, as permitted by Treasury Regulations; and (iii) life insurance companies and advisers to the Portfolios and their affiliates. The Hanover Insurance Group (formerly Allmerica Financial Corporation) (“Hanover”) has ceased all new sales of proprietary variable annuities and life insurance products (See Note 9). The Trust is comprised of nine managed investment portfolios. The accompanying financial statements and financial highlights are those of the Select Capital Appreciation, Select Value Opportunity, Select International Equity, Select Growth, Core Equity, Equity Index, Select Investment Grade Income, Government Bond and Money Market Funds (individually a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”).

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:

Security Valuation: Equity securities which are traded on a recognized exchange (other than Nasdaq) are valued at the last quoted sales price available at the time of the closing of the New York Stock Exchange or, if there were no sales that day, at the mean of the closing bid and asked price. Securities listed or traded on Nasdaq are valued at the Nasdaq official closing price. Over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last available price in the market prior to the time of valuation. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges generally are valued at the closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges. Corporate debt securities and debt securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies (other than short-term investments) are valued by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees which utilizes market quotations and transactions, quotations from dealers and various relationships among securities in determining value. If not valued by a pricing service, such securities are valued at prices obtained from independent brokers. If prices are not readily available or do not accurately reflect fair value for a security, or if a security’s value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. A security’s valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. The investments of the Money Market Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method, permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Investments in other investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The Select Capital Appreciation, Select International Equity and Select Growth Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts whereby the Portfolios agree to exchange a specific currency at a specific price at a future date in an attempt to hedge against fluctuations in the value of the underlying currency of certain portfolio instruments. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the daily forward exchange rate of the underlying currency with any fluctuations recorded as unrealized gains or losses. Gains or losses on the purchase or sale of forward foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker are realized on the date of offset, otherwise gains and losses are realized on the settlement date.

 

F-42


Table of Contents

ALLMERICA INVESTMENT TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Portfolios, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency contracts used for hedging purposes limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Portfolios could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. No forward foreign currency contracts were held at December 31, 2005.

Foreign Currency Translation: Investment valuations, other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars based upon exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized gains or losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains or losses on sales and maturities of foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference between the amount of net investment income and withholding taxes accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received and paid, and gains or losses between the trade and settlement date on the purchases and sales of the securities. That portion of unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income, including amortization of premium and accretion of discount on securities, is accrued daily. Income distributions earned by the Portfolios from investments in certain investment companies are recorded as interest income in the accompanying financial statements. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the Portfolios are informed of the ex-dividend date net of non-reclaimable tax withholdings.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, the aggregate cost of purchases and the proceeds of sales, other than from short-term investments, included of non-governmental issuers, for each portfolio are as follows:

 

     Purchases    Sales

Portfolio

Federal Income Taxes: The Trust treats each Portfolio as a separate entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying, each Portfolio will not be subject to Federal income taxes to the extent it distributes all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, for its fiscal year. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, each Portfolio will not be subject to Federal excise tax. Therefore, no Federal income tax provision is required. Withholding taxes on foreign dividend income and gains have been paid or provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Foreign Capital Gains Taxes: Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 15%. The Select International Equity Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.

Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income are declared and reinvested daily for the Money Market Fund, declared, distributed and reinvested quarterly for the Core Equity, Equity Index, Select Investment Grade Income and Government Bond Funds, and annually for the Select Capital Appreciation, Select Value Opportunity, Select International Equity and Select Growth Funds. All Portfolios declare and distribute all net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Differences between book basis and tax basis amounts are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments in the timing of the recognition of gains or losses, including “Post-October Losses”, foreign currency gains and losses, gains and losses on futures contracts, and losses deferred due to wash sales and differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, gains and losses on passive foreign investment company holdings, paydown gains/losses on certain securities, capital loss carryforwards, return of capital on real estate investment trust holdings, net operating losses, amortization of premium and market discount, and non-taxable dividends. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital. Permanent book-tax differences, if any, are not included in ending undistributed net investment income for the purpose of calculating net investment income per share in the Financial Highlights, as applicable.

Futures Contracts: All Portfolios, except the Money Market Fund, may use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the stock and bond markets and to fluctuations in interest rates and currency values. Buying futures tends to increase a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other portfolio investments. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the futures variation margin, if any, reflected in each applicable Portfolio’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments or if the counterparties do not perform under the terms of the contracts. Gains and losses are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. No future contracts were held at December 31, 2005.

Securities Lending: Each Portfolio, using Investors Bank & Trust Company (“IBT”) as its lending agent, may loan securities to brokers and dealers in exchange for negotiated lenders’ fees. These fees are disclosed as “Securities lending income” in the Statements of Operations. Each applicable Portfolio receives collateral against the loaned securities which must be maintained at not less than 102% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. Collateral received is generally cash, and is invested in short-term investments. Lending portfolio securities involves possible delays in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the counterparty (borrower) held not meet its obligations under the terms of the loan. No securities were out on loan at December 31, 2005.

Cash Accounts: From time to time the Portfolios may leave cash overnight in their account. IBT has been contracted on behalf of the Portfolios to sweep these monies into a demand note account, which will pay interest equal to 75% of that day’s U.S. Treasury Bill rate back to the Portfolios.

Expenses: Expenses directly attributed to a portfolio are charged to the portfolio, while expenses which are attributable to more than one portfolio of the Trust are allocated based upon relative net assets among the respective Portfolios and one other affiliated investment company, Allmerica Securities Trust.

Forward Commitments: The Select Capital Appreciation, Select Investment Grade Income, Government Bond, and Money Market Funds may enter into contracts to purchase securities for a fixed price at a specified future date beyond customary settlement time (“forward commitments”). If the Portfolios do so, they will maintain cash or other liquid obligations having a value in an amount at all times sufficient to meet the purchase price. Forward commitments involve a

risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date. Although the Portfolios generally will enter into forward commitments with the intention of acquiring securities for their portfolios, they may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if their Sub-Adviser deems it appropriate to do so.

Options: All Portfolios, except the Money Market Fund, may use options to manage its exposure to the stock and bond markets and to fluctuations in interest rates. Writing puts and buying calls tend to increase a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying security. Buying puts and writing calls tend to decrease a Portfolio’s exposure to the underlying security. When a Portfolio writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked to market to reflect the current value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against the amounts paid on the underlying security to determine the realized gain or loss. Realized gains and losses on written options are included in realized gains and losses on securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying securities, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparties do not perform under the terms of the contracts. Exchange-traded options are valued using the last sale price or, if there were no sales that day, the last offering price. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using dealer-supplied valuations.

Repurchase Agreements: Each Portfolio may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that the Sub-Adviser has determined are creditworthy pursuant to guidelines established by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Each Portfolio requires that the securities purchased in a repurchase agreement transaction be transferred to the Trust’s Custodian in a manner that is intended to enable the Portfolio to obtain those securities in the event of a counterparty default. The Sub-Adviser monitors the value of the securities, including accrued interest, daily to ensure that the value of the collateral equals or exceeds amounts due under the repurchase agreement. Repurchase agreement transactions involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon the 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.

 

3. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, ADMINISTRATION, AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

(the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allmerica Financial Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“Allmerica Financial”), serves as investment manager and administrator to the Trust.

The Manager has entered into Sub-Adviser Agreements for the management of the investments of each of the Portfolios. The Manager is solely responsible for the payment of all fees to the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers for each of the Portfolios are as follows:

 

Select Capital Appreciation Fund    T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (“T. Rowe Price”)
Select Value Opportunity Fund    Cramer Rosenthal McGlynn, LLC
Select International Equity Fund    Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co., LLC (“GMO”) J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“J.P. Morgan”)

T. Rowe Price International Series, Inc., an investment company managed by an affiliate of T. Rowe Price, is currently used as an investment vehicle for certain insurance products sponsored by Allmerica Financial and First Allmerica Financial Life Insurance Company (“First Allmerica”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allmerica Financial. GMO and J.P. Morgan each independently manages its own portion of the Select International Equity Fund. GEAM and Jennison each independently manages its own portion of the Select Growth Fund. UBS and Goldman each independently manages its own portion of the Core Equity Fund.

Brokerage Commissions: The Select Capital Appreciation, Select Value Opportunity, Select International Equity, Select Growth, Core Equity, and Equity Index Funds have entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate, in cash, a portion of brokerage commissions. Effective January 1, 2005, amounts earned by the Funds under such agreements are included with realized gain or loss on investment transactions presented in the statement of operations. Prior to January 1, 2005, amounts earned by the Funds under such agreements were presented as a reduction of expenses. Prior year amounts have not been restated to reflect this change due to immateriality. For the year ended December 31, 2005, brokerage commissions under these agreements were as follows:

Plan of Distribution and Service: The 12b-1 Plan permits the Portfolios to pay Allmerica Financial and First Allmerica for marketing and distribution expenses to support the sale and distribution of the Portfolios’ shares and the provision of services to maintain and retain accounts. The 12b-1 Plan authorizes payment of a distribution and service fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets. As directed by the Board of Trustees, each Portfolio pays a distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets. For the year ended December 31, 2005, total payments made to Allmerica Financial and First Allmerica by the Portfolios under the 12b-1 Plan amounted to $4,364,733.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

Custodian, Fund Accounting, and Administrative Fees: IBT provides portfolio accounting and custody services to the Trust and receives fees and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses for its services from the Trust. The Manager has entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with IBT, whereby IBT performs certain administrative services for the Portfolios and is entitled to receive an administrative fee and reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses. The Manager is solely responsible for the payment of the administrative fee to IBT. The Trust pays no salaries or compensation to any of its officers. Trustees who are not directors, officers or employees of the Trust or any investment adviser are reimbursed for their travel expenses in attending meetings of the Trustees, and receive quarterly meeting and retainer fees for their services. Such amounts are paid by the Trust.

 

4. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES AND WAIVER OF FEES

In the event normal operating expenses of each Portfolio, excluding taxes, interest, broker commissions, and extraordinary expenses, but including the management fee, exceed certain voluntary expense limitations as a percentage of average net assets, the Manager will voluntarily reimburse fees and any expenses in excess of the expense limitations. The Portfolios’ voluntary expense limitations are as follows:

 

Select Capital Appreciation Fund

   1.35 %

Select Value Opportunity Fund*

   1.25 %

Select International Equity Fund

   1.50 %

Select Growth Fund**

   1.20 %

Core Equity Fund

   1.20 %

Equity Index Fund

   0.60 %

Select Investment Grade Income Fund

   1.00 %

Government Bond Fund

   1.00 %

Money Market Fund

   0.60 %

Expense limitations may be removed or revised at any time after a Portfolio’s first fiscal year of operations without prior notice to existing shareholders.

 

* The Manager has also voluntarily agreed to limit its management fees to an annual rate of 0.90% of average daily net assets of the Select Value Opportunity Fund until further notice.

 

** Prior to January 1, 2005, GEAM assumed sub-adviser responsibilities from Putnam Investment Management, LLC (“Putnam”) for that portion of the Select Growth Fund that was independently managed by Putnam. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive that portion of the management fee of the Select Growth Fund to the extent that the amount of the sub-adviser fee paid to GEAM is less than the amount that would have been paid to Putnam. For the year ended December 31, 2005, this management fee waiver amounted to $163,473.

 

5. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest for the Portfolios, each without a par value.

 

6. FOREIGN SECURITIES, CONCENTRATION OF RISK, AND EMERGING MARKETS

All Portfolios except the Government Bond Fund may purchase securities of foreign issuers. The Money Market Fund may invest in only U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities. Investing in foreign securities involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

 

F-49


Table of Contents

ALLMERICA INVESTMENT TRUST

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

 

The Select International Equity Fund has over 25.2% and 25.9% of its total investments on December 31, 2005 invested in securities of companies located in Japan and the United Kingdom, respectively. The Select International Equity Fund is more susceptible to economic and political factors adversely affecting Japan or the United Kingdom than are international equity funds that are not concentrated to the same extent in these countries.

Total cash positions of Select Value Opportunity Fund, Select International Equity Fund, and Select Growth Fund at December 31, 2005 amounted to 9.4%, 4.6%, and 2.4%, respectively, of the Portfolio’s net assets. IBT, as provider of custody services to the Portfolios, holds these cash positions for the benefit of each Portfolio (See Note 2). Such cash amounts held at one financial institution may increase the Portfolios’ exposure to the possible risk of default or insolvency of that financial institution.

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in the developed markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls, subject to delayed settlements, and their prices more volatile than those of comparable securities in the United States.

 

7. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Investing in certain financial instruments including futures and options transactions, and forward foreign currency contracts involves risks other than those reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks associated with these instruments include the potential for an imperfect correlation between the movements in the price of the instruments and the price of the underlying securities and interest rates, an illiquid secondary market for the instruments or inability of counterparties to perform under terms of the contracts, and changes in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The Select Capital Appreciation, Select International Equity and Select Growth Funds may enter into these forward contracts primarily to protect the Portfolio from adverse currency movement.

 

8. OTHER

The Trust’s organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Trust. In the normal course of business, the Trust may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Trust. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On August 22, 2005, Hanover announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell Allmerica Financial and its closed block of variable annuity and variable life business (the “Transaction”) to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“Goldman Sachs”). In addition, as part of the Transaction, Goldman Sachs will purchase AFIMS. The Transaction closed on December 30, 2005.

In connection with the Transaction, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization Agreement (the “Reorganization Agreement”) on behalf of each Portfolio of the Trust (each, an “AIT Fund”). The Reorganization Agreement is among the Trust, on behalf of each AIT Fund, Goldman Sachs Variable Insurance Trust (“GSVIT”), on behalf of each investment fund of GSVIT listed below (each, a “GSVIT Fund”), Hanover, AFIMS, Goldman Sachs

Reorganization #9

   Money Market Fund    Money Market Fund

A Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Trust was held on December 9, 2005, at which shareholders of each AIT Fund approved the Fund Reorganization relating to such AIT Fund. Although separate accounts of Allmerica Financial and First Allmerica were the only shareholders of the AIT Funds, owners of variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance contracts with allocations in the separate accounts that invest in the AIT Funds had the right to instruct Allmerica Financial or First Allmerica as to how to vote on the shares of the AIT Fund(s) attributable to their variable contracts. Each Fund Reorganization was effective at the opening of business on January 9, 2006.

No AIT Fund or any GSVIT Fund bore any fees, expenses or explicit brokerage commissions in connection with entering into and carrying out the Fund Reorganization Expenses (“Reorganization Expenses”). The responsibility for payment of all of the Reorganization Expenses were allocated between Hanover and Goldman Sachs. The portion of the Reorganization Expense that were allocated to Hanover amounted to $795,966.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Allmerica Investment Trust

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments (except for Moody’s and S&P Ratings and Concentration of Investments tables), and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Select Capital Appreciation Fund, Select Value Opportunity Fund, Select International Equity Fund, Select Growth Fund, Core Equity Fund, Equity Index Fund, Select Investment Grade Income Fund, Government Bond Fund, and Money Market Fund (constituting the Allmerica Investment Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Trust”) at December 31, 2005, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Trust’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2005 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 9 to the financial statements, pursuant to the Reorganization Agreement described, each portfolio of the Trust (each, an “AIT Fund”) was reorganized into a corresponding GSVIT Fund, effective January 9, 2006.

REGULATORY DISCLOSURES (Unaudited)

The performance data quoted represents past performance and the investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

An investment in the Money Market Fund (the “Portfolio”) is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Portfolio seeks to preserve the value of your investment at a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio.

Securities issued by some U.S. Government-sponsored entities, such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. No assurances can be given that the U.S. Government would provide financial support to a U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentality if not obligated to do so.

Item 2. Code of Ethics

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial/principal accounting officer.

 

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert

The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that Gordon Holmes, who is an “independent” Trustee (as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in regulations implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Regulations”)), qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” (as such term has been defined in the SEC Regulations).

The SEC has stated that the designation or identification of a person as an audit financial expert pursuant to this Item 3 of Form N-CSR does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

 

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

 

     Audit Fees   

Types of Services

  

Percentage of Services Approved

by the Audit Committee under

the De Minimus Exception (defined below)

 
2005    $ 351,000       —    
2004    $ 328,000       —    
     Audit-Related Fees            
2004    $ 0       0 %
2003    $ 0       0 %
     Tax Fees            
2005    $ 27,400    Tax return review    0 %
2004    $ 36,400    Tax return review    0 %
     All Other Fees            
2004    $ 0       0 %
2003    $ 0       0 %

All fees disclosed above under the captions “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees,” and “All Other Fees” represent fees billed for services that were required to be pre-approved, and which were so pre-approved, by the registrant’s Audit Committee in accordance with the Audit Committee’s Policy for Pre-Approval of Services Provided by Independent Auditors.

For the last two fiscal years of the registrant, the independent accountants billed aggregate non-audit fees in the following amounts to the registrant and Allmerica Financial Investment Management Services, Inc. (“AFIMS”), the Trust’s investment adviser:

 

2005    $ 27,400      
2004    $ 36,400      

The registrant’s Audit Committee has determined that the provision by the registrant’s independent accountants of non-audit services that were rendered to AFIMS and that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee were compatible with maintaining the independence of such accountants.


Table of Contents

The following table presents fees billed by the registrant’s independent accountants for services required to be approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 

     Audit-Related Fees    Tax Fees    All Other Fees    Total Non-Audit Fees    Percentages of services approved
by Audit Committee
2004    $ 0    $ 0    $ 0    $ 0    —  
2003    $ 0    $ 0    $ 0    $ 0    —  

The Audit Committee has adopted certain policies and procedures for pre-approval of services provided by the independent accountants. On an annual basis, certain types of recurring audit, audit-related and other services are pre-approved by the Committee, including, among other things, the list of required audits and projects presented by the independent accountants; consultation and advisory services related to accounting/reporting and risk management/control matters provided in the normal course of business; and assistance with SEC and other regulatory filings and tax services incurred in the normal course of business. This pre-approval will occur concurrently with the approval of the annual audit fees and will apply to all individual projects meeting the criteria discussed above and which are expected to result in total fees less than $400,000. For individual projects outside the scope of the fiscal year audits and tax return filings expected to be $25,000 or greater, specific pre-approval will be necessary.

Pre-approvals for all other services will occur if and when the need for any such services arises. This pre-approval will be initiated by AFIMS and will be requested from the Chairman or, in the event the Chairman is unavailable, any other member of the Audit Committee. Any services approved by the Chairman, or other Audit Committee member, at any time other than during an Audit Committee meeting will be reported to the full Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting. Expenses permitted under Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) of Regulation S-X (the “De Minimis Exception”) will not require pre-approval.
